Everyone comes in these threads trying to justify piracy with some sort of legal/ethical spin. Let's just call it like we see it. Piracy is easy, low risk and near free. It's also a near-victimless crime. The only victim is a media conglomerate that hauled in more money than they know what do do with. In fact, in 2015, 21st Century Fox had a larger revenue in 3 months than my entire Canadian province did in a year. It's hard to be sympathetic when they bitch and complain about what amounts to pennies for them.

Support the indies.

Exactly. Anybody who follows copyright infringement news would've quit by now if they cared. Or they would use a VPN.

Not that I'd consider streaming sites much of a revenue stream.

That's a good first move. It'd be entertaining to watch and see a Libertarian fuck up a country, too.

I think TFA has a point. Why bury your head in the sand? Profiting off of such footage is in an ethical grey to dark-grey area, but on the other hand having the ability to see things that occur in the world is overall a good thing, instead of being sheltered by the media.

I'm probably wrong with my layman's understanding of how it works, but if you consider conservation of energy, the additional thermal energy from AGW would cause atmospheric agitation. I just meant to illustrate that any slowing of wind would likely be offset by the surplus of energy produced by the trapping of thermal energy caused by greenhouse gasses.

I had to google what keelhauled meant.

All that energy comes from the agitated atmosphere exacerbated by carbon emissions. Which also threatens the birds.

The work around would have to be hardware too. I mean, the mouse would have to sync it's output with the game to spoof it. You'd have to mod the mouse with some wireless transmitter and receiver. It's an arms race, for sure, but I can see it cutting down on cheating by orders of magnitude.

That's why there's a buffer. 300ms of ping only needs an extra 300ms of buffer, in theory.

He'll never be the head of a major corporation.

If you could manufacture a device that would bypass virtually all forms of video/audio DRM, you could make some nice pocket change I'm sure. Or at the very least you could impress at a convention.
