Comment DMCA.. are the police the criminals (Score 0) 96

If the police are openly admitting that they are trying to circumvent access control then that seems like they are either (above the law) or admitting to being guilty of a crime. Some system!

"It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM). It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself." : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Even the people who I would say are generally seen as amazing figures within the IT / electronics / manufacturing / engineering / software / big-tech communities are only cool in that eco-system at least in my experience. I know I am stretching the term IT.

Not sure how I feel about this. I have weatherline and now the way more expensive weather line subscription from weatherline 2.0. I like them I hope that now with Apple owning darksky, they can offer the subscription at a lower cost.... or maybe make it free. I know that the new super weather sub for weather line is something else more than just dark sky. But... well see what the future holds. pulling the android app is :( sad to hear. Cant say I approve of that .. but maybe apple thinks they can offer sell more phones !

What about when a user calls up because their computer is not on the internet. But the computer they are using is actually there personal computer and they are working from home. You are trying to remote into the computer and you are saying it's off line. Then you click. "Are you using your work computer or some other system" you ask.... "I will call you back in 5min" shouts the phone. No call comes back. YOU NEED IT ... to make sure someone is using the right device.. no joke (sure story from me this morning).

I agree. Really liked many aspects. The enhanced human idea added another element of tension (gotta get some meds). But!!! The Terminator was not well understood or explained. The Terminator was kind of like the one from T2 : Judgement day. But it has a frame which allows it to split into two terminators. This was really odd. It made it almost weaker than the T2 terminator. I just came away from it thinking what was wrong with that movie (not a good sign). But the only thing which really bothered me at a cognitive level was the Terminator and the way the plot all fell apart in the last third of the movie.
