"bypassing encryption that prevents unauthorized copying"

Haven't seen this referenced in a long time.

Oh the simpler days when stuff like a Sharpie could be considered as a circumvention device.

And judges ordered people who had the DeCSS source code printed on T-Shirts to take them off in a courtroom.

Yeah, but then you have to bypass Macrovision protection.

Netflix is my only subscription service, and I'm happy with the content, even here in Canada. Still loads cheaper than cable (coming up on 15 years post-cord-cutting)

Surprised that seemingly so many of the Slashdot community aren't running DNS ad blackholers.

I think slashdot turned into Reddit about 10 years ago.

She needs to join the activist group "Citizens United Negating Technology." Right up her alley, so to speak. /it's from GTA3, if you're trying to place it.

Not sure how XBL works in this regard:
Can you still download prior purchased games that have since been removed from sale?

On PSN you can (at least on the PS3). It was clumsy though, you had to go through your download history.

Except that as member of the class of '99, American Pie holds a special place in my heart.

Netcraft confirms it. BSD is dying.

I pay about $1400/year to the Teamsters, but it's a tax deduction, so it's like I never even earned it. It's also taken out automatically from my pay so I barely notice it.

Google search has been pissing me off for a while now, specifically its insistence on presenting results that don't have one or more of my keywords. Yes, i know I can put quotes around required words, but I shouldn't have to enquote every word in a query. /Maybe theres a global setting, too lazy to look.

...Hypercard. Wiki says the last release was in 1998. I've never been an Apple/Mac guy, but I have fond memories of using it in some sort of a summer computer camp in 1994.

I swear by the Microsoft Natural 4K.
Served me well for almost 13 years.

Still have fond memories of my iPaq 6315 rocking the Windows Mobile 2003 OS.

It could (natively) create office documents, do mapping, take pictures, had push email, etc. a few years before the iPhone and Android were a glimmer in the publics' eye. Any apps created for the .NET compact framework could be run without modification on desktop windows.

Them and the Treos were ahead of their time.

Sony tablet S (Android Kitkat) that I bought about 4 years ago or so. It had an emulator app and a PSN store-style app to purchase both original games and classics.

The tablet came with vouchers for two games from the store, and I choose Crash Bandicoot and Jet-Moto.

So yeah, I've already (legally) played PSX games on a tablet. Not sure why this is news again.
