Crazy idea, if you don't know what you're talking about, shut the hell up.
Google "Monsanto Protection Act" or "farmer assurance provision" for the 2011 law Google "Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA)" or "Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act"
Not sure what this is showing up on HN now. The law has been on the books since 2011. We should be more interested in the new law That just granted legal immunity to Monsanto.
its a two way street. these companies would do the vary same thing the second it becomes profitable.
It's a brave new world out there. Well, I knew this would happen eventually, and I got a lot out of the internet while it lasted. Shit, the last 15 years of my life have been grand thanks to the net, but now it's time…
I think this says more about the market that buys featured apps than the developer. Specifically, it has become much smaller, but getting featured is still a guaranteed payday.
Nobody here seems to realize that these firmware upgrades do little to adress these issues. Tomato explicitly says its a UI update only..
If you do your research Dell/Alienware is actually very competitively priced. Most people discount the service, which is tech-onsite and parts for 1 year.
so many people use ajax.googleapis.com it's ridiculous. Most the time when you block this, the page fails to load at all. That's fine though because they often don't have content that interests me anyway if they're that…
I don't use those services and I have no obligation to provide you with proof. >You'll need to cite something to show that that occurred. See TFA. Remember, this game is always online.

>But you do pay for the internet, cable TV, Netflix, Hulu Plus, going to the movie theatre, buying DVDs/BluRays, and many MANY other things which essentially open you up to be advertised to. That is not true in the…
Your "argument" doesn't really do anything to address the fact that there is advertising in the game that I (hypothetically) paid for. This is just as obtrusive as all the other anti-features that are included. It…
Hacker News is owned by YCombintor which is a startup fund.. I think that answers your question.
>Why not provide a counter-argument (or even just an alternative proposition) instead of insulting me with the "because you said so" thing? The irony of this statement is lost on you. Suck my dick. The rest of your…
I was just blocking 1.2.3.4, which the inserted js used to download the rest of the "features". I have no reason not to report this to the FBI accept I don't really understand whats going on here so I wouldn't be a good…
Is that a question or a statement?
Secure end to end encryption doesn't mean government agencies can't snoop on the coms. First of all, the CIA owns own one of the largest, if not the largest supercomputer. Also, the encryption could be using CIA's own…
what a stupid protocol
Created after 2000 and has hack or related terms in the url? no thanks. I also dislike that it hijacks my browser middle mouse button; I can't open up the links in new tabs. Just use a wiki..
That is not a counter to his argument.
My badly (un)explained point is that you benefit from free software indirectly, through cheaper software built on top that you later buy or use, or in my extreme example, not being killed because the guy who killed you…
Mobile carriers do this too. I see the exact same feature being provided on my Sprint line.
