Ditto Civ V. I have them all but the last one because of DRM. I refuse to purchase a DRMd game, specially any with calls back to the mothership

Are you naive?
Regarding your second argument, "need for evidence", It is collected AFTER a crime has been convicted AND someone is a SUSPECT. It has never been our western tradition to go and treat the innocent like guilty. That is why you have forensic sciences and such to gather evidence, and believe me, there is nothing as resilient as a disk drive. You would have to melt down your drive for someone not to be able to read it. That's why police are making their job HARDER, not easier with such laws. Now it will be more prevalent the use of encrypted drives and VPNs out of the country, raising the bar for snooping around.

The argument that it is necessary to MONITOR 24/7 in order to enforce the laws is patently false and absurd.

I hope it works in Windows 2000...

Your novels brought me uncountable hours of entertainment, joy, sadness, thrill, and always a sense of wonder and magic.

If Fedora yields on this, I'd go to another distribution. Paying $99 to Microsoft for the "right" to install the OS of my choice on my own hardware is making Microsoft $99 richer off the efforts of the volunteers who brought Linux and Fedora to us, and it makes my Free-gratis OS effectively cost $99, no longer free.

I'd rather go back to the time of compatibility lists and give my money to those companies that support my needs than give it to those Microsoft-bought hardware manufacturers.

Say NO to Microsoft Danegeld

If the standard is the inability to focus, then half my office is depressed :)

Why build a plane when you can TELEPORT the bomb?

Wake me up when they convert the original King Kong movie into 3D. That would be something!

Skynet, is that you?

From the Opinion:
"But random characters are not files; because the TrueCrypt program displays random characters if there are files and if there is empty space, we simply do not know what, if anything, was hidden based on the facts before us. It is not enough for the Government to argue that the encrypted drives are capable of storing vast amounts of data, some of which may be incriminating. In short, the Government physically possesses the media devices, but it does not know what, if anything, is held on the encrypted drives."

Actually, this comes off the royalties paid to Artists. No wonder many of them do not see a cent of royalties because they are still "in the red".
For the record company it is easy to get a better price than what you see here, but the artist will not see it, the record company lives off the arbitrage.

In the end, many successful modern artist go direct to the Internet and bypass this sinkhole.
