I'll admit... it's entirely possible that I don't understand the meaning of that word.

Why wouldn't they think that? Seems like there's a lot of people making a lot of money in litigation.

As long as the organization's you are referring to are not ISP's then I'm fine with this too. If you're on someone else's equipment (eg: work), you are subject to their rules.

they are giving you the option to censor images. I think that's a fairly large distinction.

Not just ESPN... in fact, not espn at all. You're pretty much screwed on just about any live sporting event. I would've given up cable long ago if not for this fact.

EA is better off putting out roster updates. They practically own a monopoly on sports games (particularly the Madden series), and whenever they put out a new "feature", it's usually more-or-less something that benefits them and hurts the consumer. I'm sick of buying half a game, and EA is one of the biggest offenders IMO.

With a warrant, they should be able to decrypt your laptop... but I certaintly wouldn't help them do it. Isn't there something in the constitution about not having to implicate yourself?

But how will the government know what you're doing if your device is turned off?

Well, they do get free room and board.

100,000 dollars really isn't that much money.

I think you're missing the point here. I don't think the point is really about DRM or openness. I think the major point is Android. I buy my music off of Amazon, but it would be nice to have a way of syncing my device the same way iPhone users do. I know there are a few applications out there to do it, but like you already pointed out, none of them are nearly as polished as iTunes. Anything close and I'll probably give their tool a shot.

Blu-ray is the only feature Sony hasn't taken out of my Playstation 3.

Non-system disk or disk error. Replace and strike any key when ready

wtf?

So what you're really telling me is - they can tell me its raining on Titan, but I can't seem to get reliable weather forcasts here.

Maybe... Maybe not. I can still go into any store in the US and buy something with good old-fashioned cash. If I went in their with my digital wallet of BitCoins, they'd probably laugh at me.

On a side note, if they were real geeks, they would've called them credits.
