Yes, of course they believe that. According to the US goverment this is and was always intended to be one way street. No way can another country demand anything from the US, where did you get that from? Apparently we are all US subjects now... god help us.

I find this quite funny in a way that lately (as in last couple of years), Microsoft seems to be unable to make any XBOX related statement that doesn't somehow cause a public relations nightmare in one way or another. This caused so many bad feelings against Microsoft, XBOX, Square and even the...

Well that's a shame. I liked the 2013 Tomb Raider quite a lot, so it's disappointing that I will not be able to play the next installment. Oh well, there's still Uncharted (hopefully next one will be quality wise more like 2 and less like 3), and also it's possible that this will be some sort...

I am in Europe so I am saddled with the same issue. I would want nothing more to be able to pay a small amount every month to HBO to be able to stream their content. I am pretty sure they would actually like to sell it to me too, because it's all lost money to them since I will just turn to...

Living in Europe, it often bothers me when US goverment tries to extend their reach to make US laws apply to people who have nothing do with US. But EU wanting to do this is basically the same thing, shows how much alike/corrupt all the goverments around the world are today. Hopefully they will...

This is quite funny because I am a member on another forum where the exact same thing happened--he came in, asked people questions about forum usage and so on, and then when he got the answers that he was not happy with, proceeded to start arguing with everyone to try to convince them that they...

This sounds pretty good to me. I tend to read a lot while traveling to work and back so if they have a good selection of books available in this program it would be well worth it to me to subscribe. The only worry I have is that this will probably be US only (since I live in Europe). Although I...

I know this article is mostly about broadcast TV, but I was thinking a bit along the lines of what would happen if after buying a let's say Blu-Ray, you still had to pay a small fee to watch the movie every time or something like that, or if e.g. after the initial cost of "buying" a digital...

It has been clear for a while that "content providers" will not be happy with anything until payments per person, per viewing, per device are the norm. Want to re-watch that movie with your husband/wife? That's two more fees. Oh, your kid will be watching too? Sorry, that's an additional fee. Of...

No need to offer me proof, I am aware of this, have worked with several US exparts before--all very nice people by the way. And from them I know that yes while they didn't have to pay double it was still a massive hassle for them to deal with. Plus the reporting requirements on their bank...

Well I am not nor have I ever been a US citizen or GC hiolder, which is why this sort of news bothers me and frustrates me. I realy, really don't want US government to have anything to do with me or to have any kind of reach over me. Especially not, as I've said, with the way things have been in...

I presume the allmighty US will soon want us all also to pay US taxes no matter which country we live in or are citizens of? They already do this with their own citizens and GC holders who are required to pay US taxes no matter where they live. I don't need to tell you how many problems this...

This is pretty nice. So if you have enough political power and financial influence you can block somebody ELSE from reading an email already sitting in THEIR OWN INBOX. Am I understandthing this correctly? I can't possibly see the potential for abuse here at all, now that the cat is out of the...

Well, they paid for it fair and square, so... But this IS getting quite incestuous--it's no better in the other direction when a long time head of a body like this leaves that position only to become... an industry lobbyist. Makes you wonder what kinds of favours he/she did while in position...

Oh how I wish they would...

I've already posted this one before, but it's still very much appropriate: INTERVIEWER Do you think that the government is winning the battle against terrorists? HELPMANN Oh yes. Our morale is much higher than theirs, we're fielding all their strokes, running a lot of them out, and pretty...

So this page right now is showing 9 trackers (via Ghostery, so sorry you're not getting my info), but I have seen as many as 13 on some pages on this very web site. Any comments, Ars staff?

These "agencies" are determined to stop at all costs even the smallest possibility of another Snowden ever happening. But it's not going to work... as they say, "the more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through". It's been the truth a long long time ago and it...

I totally believe this guy, really. Now would be a good time for Snowden & co. to come up with a new set of document making this fucker eat his words.

Yes, I am curious about this too. I had no idea that the great firewall of China also covers Hong Kong--I was under the impression that Hong Kong is generally left alone by the Beijing mothership for the most part?
