We tried something similar. We ended up dropping it because we couldn't justify the cost. Each ipad costs around 20,000 printed pages for the hardware alone. That's before labor and ancillary software licensing.

The writer needs to do better research. Physical DVD rentals happen because of the First Sale Doctrine. The studios don't allow physical DVD rentals. They're powerless to stop them. Once they've sold a copy of the DVD they lose all control over what is done with it.

Stipulates that the plane crashed into the ocean at night in such a manner than people could evacuate. Water is worse for landing than land. It moves and doesn't compress.

The cause of the crash is fuel starvation of the engines. What killed the crew I think we will never know for sure since the black box only records a 2 hour loop. If they recover it it's going to show 2 hours of autopilot flight in a mostly straight line until the fuel ran out and the engines shut down.

Then the country falls apart because so much electricity comes from coal. Without a replacement it there would be vast blackout crippling large portions of the country. Let's get on it!

That LED is impossible to alter/disable/modify/cover? The software that controls that LED is impossible to alter/disable/modify? You must assume the glass is recording at all times because you have no way to tell if they are or aren't.

The first amendment doesn't apply.

If two private parties agree via contract to not talk about something then it's a contractual issue not a constitutional issue.

For video games to be a cause the shooter has to have a basic flaw. They have to be unable to tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

  To be unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy is insanity. That is the cause of the violence not some silly game.

Every new art form goes through a blame period. Remember when rock and roll was blamed for causing people to rape and kill?

First off you have a trivial cable set up. You're orders of magnitude from "extreme."

With the setup you mention there's almost an infinite amount of solutions. Tape, twist ties, tubes, velcro, hooks, labels, etc.

Almost anything will work. Basically you have a laziness problem. When you ran the cable you didn't label it, or loop and tie, or use a cable hook, or do anything.

I use hooks for mouse and keyboard. Long net cables are wound and tied. Power cables are velcroed together near the PDU.

Honestly all you have to do is anything but what you're doing is adding cables with no organization.

When you're up to thousands of cables come back and we can talk about extreme solutions.

That's a nice story. Too bad men pat men and women pat women so it couldn't possibly be true.

Why would my bank ever send me an .exe?

You're talking about an unprotectable group. It doesn't matter how strong the door and locks are if the person inside opens it without checking who's there.

Number 2 is a major factor. One of the largest I think.

Every baby pirate goes through a phase where they download everything they can because well they can.

Even after that phase wears off so many things are downloaded that never get unpacked. Since the opportunity cost is almost zero why not down load something that you think you might maybe like. There's no downside to downloading it and never touching it.

Planes are more efficient than other means of long distance travel I have access to.

You're correct the "bandwidth" arguments is a lie.

They don't allow voice apps because they don't want people coordinating attacks with them.

It's impossible to coordinate something with irc, or email, or im, or twitter, or facebook.
