I would be prepared to pay all the $M the media industry wants today as long as they reduced the other three currencies considerably. My main reason for piracy is availability. I can't even buy the things I want where I live. My dream scena

I stick with TV-series, and I've never seen an infected file. If I had been downloading software, sure, I would have been slightly more worried, but even so most sites have comments and ratingsystems. Looking at them probably helps you find

Wow. This really hit me in the face. This is exactly my situation, my issues right now (and I am also a college/university freshman). I am spending so much time consuming information that I am behind on essentially everything I should and c

It annoys me too. Is there anyone here who knows if they are required to put it there to protect their brand, or if it's entirely optional?

This made my day. The statement "The Court noted that the privacy of users is more important than protecting copyright" is one of the most important in a long time about this issue, and I truly hope these words will set a good basis for a c

To be honest, if they are able to maintain those services without downgrading the search-experience, and remain true to their "no tracking, no bubbling"-ideology I would welcome such services.

Are you making the assumption that people would be afraid of your application because it could potentially be malware, or because they don't want to switch to the third mode? If it's the latter, I hope the control is on an individual applic

The history of this matter stopped being relevant when domain-seizures stopped being the last option.

I'm glad it isn't being tolerated by the new one. Look at the protests on the streets. That is amazing by itself, but even more so is that it actually appears to have some effect.

I can't have been the only one to look at the source code of the page and feel slightly disappointed, considering that the page itself looks pretty nice. I'm looking forward to seeing if following 90-minute sleep-cycles would work out for m

This is probably standard procedure at GoDaddy, and since GoDaddy is very loyal to the authorities, they probably considered the regular way of seizing the domain unnecessary.

I don't think we'd get much further than we already have in earlier anti-SOPA talks. The irony of the situation gave me a chuckle though. Hopefully they move away after this, to a company which would at least try to put up a fight.

Racist? Isn't being able to download without risking serving time in prison a good thing?

I said create new content, not only share other peoples content. I find it impossible to believe that people would give up their creative impulses even if there were no incentive to earn money on it. Look at the amazing music created by peo

"Our children have been taught to steal" No, they have been taught to share and that anyone can create a movie or a piece of music and distribute it for free. Those are two wonderful lessons, which I believe will make the future a better pl

I've been using http://www.backblaze.com for a while now and it's worked great so far. It's not a full hard disk backup, but essentially everything non-system.

That's true, but what prevents the states from earlier times from having been compromised as well? (There appears to have been some confusion on my part here. When reinstalling the operating system was mentioned, I thought only of doing it

I'd say the nuclear/final option would be getting a brand new system. Does malware which clings to the BIOS or specific hardware still exist today?

Few of Apples products have the latest, best hardware in them. Yet they sell very well, and are extremely profitable. This situation reminds me a lot of when Steve Ballmer laughed at the iPhone. I'm not saying that Apple will deliver the be

I've tried it now, and sadly this is not the case. There also appears to be a very annoying two-second delay between using the soundlevel-controller and the level of the sound actually changing. I would love to see both of these things reso

While I'm not saying that I don't partially agree with you, please provide your reasons for thinking so.

MPlayerX (for OS X) does this, but personally I would prefer if it didn't. But that's probably because I watch a lot of short clips I'd rather have restarted, than long movies which I'd want to keep watching where I left them.

I began switching from VLC to MPlayerX for most of my media files because I liked the auto-hiding UI, showing only the video when not hovering the application. Will this be the same deal? If so, I'll switch back on release-day.
