DaemonFCI actually have decent health insurance at the momentMay 30 21:06
DaemonFCwhich is, unusual but I'm not going to knock itMay 30 21:06
formic_working and paying taxes pays for the handoutsMay 30 21:06
DaemonFCI despise drug companies and their patent though, so I still get generic medication onlyMay 30 21:06
DaemonFCI could get newer versions of everything, but people that do that are a big reason why premiums go up every yearMay 30 21:07
DaemonFCinsurance companies are a drain on the "pool", but they are a small one compared to hospitals, doctors, and especially drug companiesMay 30 21:08
formic_I dislike the fact that 25% of my income is taken, and some of it is going to people who are not contributing.May 30 21:08
DaemonFCinsurance companies typically pay out 80 cents of every dollar that goes into them on healthcare, which is hardly efficientMay 30 21:08
DaemonFCbut when a bottle of pills can be upwards of $400, who cares what the insurance companies are doing?May 30 21:08
DaemonFCI think there are bigger fish to fry than insurance companies if we really wanted healthcare reformMay 30 21:09
DaemonFCbut they should definitely be on the listMay 30 21:09
DaemonFCsome states are objecting to Secure Communities, and they theoretically can refuse itMay 30 21:10
DaemonFCin practice, none of them will because the federal government funds a lot of state prison systems with money they took from the states to begin withMay 30 21:11
DaemonFCif a state refuses to cooperate with anything the feds want, the feds can just refuse to give back the money they tookMay 30 21:11
DaemonFCwhich is exactly why states are etting up their health insurance exchanges that the Affordable Care Act mandated, because there is a fallback clause that says if they don't, the federal government will create one for themMay 30 21:12
DaemonFCformic_, I don't know why the Republicans are going back to Romneycare, the way Romney did it, he line item vetoed all the sections that would give health insurance subsidies to the poor, and signed all the sections that would tax the poor and middle class to provide subsidies for people making six figure incomesMay 30 21:14
DaemonFCthe only reason it didn't work out that way is because the legislature overrode his vetoesMay 30 21:14
DaemonFCthe way Romney intended to implement it (a regressive tax on the poor to subsidize health coverage for people who are rich, while denying the poor access to healthcare themselves) sounds like something the Republicans would love to expand nationallyMay 30 21:15

formic_its not hard to rip the DRM out of itunes filesMay 30 22:27
DaemonFCconsider "iTunes Plus" and "upgrade my library"May 30 22:27
DaemonFCif you don't buy all the music you already bought all over again, it will still be encumbered with iTunes DRM and at the old bit rate of 128kMay 30 22:28
formic_i bet pirates will break whatever DRM HTML5 video ends up out thereMay 30 22:28
MinceRin transit, as the video stream goes from the webserver to your browser?May 30 22:28
formic_mincer - yeahMay 30 22:28
DaemonFCnext time they can double the bitrate again and tell people they need to buy all their music againMay 30 22:28
MinceRfor every single user-submitted video?May 30 22:28
formic_sureMay 30 22:28
MinceRyes, i'm sure that will happenMay 30 22:28
DaemonFCand a lot of people that use Apple stuff will because nobody wants to think they have last year's model of anythingMay 30 22:28
DaemonFC(including music files)May 30 22:29
formic_mincer - yeah because every form of drm ever invented has been brokenMay 30 22:29
MinceRbut let's assume it will -- does that mean it's not a horribly bad future for the free web?May 30 22:29
MinceRformic_: not necessarily in stream, as a serviceMay 30 22:29
formic_mincer - i guarantee it willMay 30 22:29
DaemonFCDRM is like a Kudzu infestationMay 30 22:30
formic_hell, i wonder why you couldn't already just use 'recordmydesktop'May 30 22:30
DaemonFCyou can go hack it all down every year but it will be back next yearMay 30 22:31
MinceR'recordmydesktop' is unlikely to be able to keep the framerate upMay 30 22:31
MinceRalso, it would result in re-encodingMay 30 22:31
formic_mincer - if you have some old computerMay 30 22:31
MinceRalso, you would still need to run 'recordmydesktop' on a computer with a nonfree browser runningMay 30 22:31
MinceRformic_: i have mobile phones and tablets as wellMay 30 22:32
formic_so won't it already work on your non free mobile phone and tablets?May 30 22:32
MinceRwill they be nonfree?May 30 22:32
MinceRbetter question yet, will the browser on them be nonfree? should it?May 30 22:33
formic_I know for a fact your mobile is non freeMay 30 22:33
MinceRsame case as on PC, should they be allowed to lock me into a nonfree browser?May 30 22:33
formic_gtg home nowMay 30 22:34
formic_they aren't mincerMay 30 22:34
formic_you just want to use paid content for free, just steal it like everyone elseMay 30 22:34
MinceRyet.May 30 22:34
MinceRnopeMay 30 22:34
MinceRi'm not talking about paid contentMay 30 22:34
MinceRi'm talking about gratis video and audio on the webMay 30 22:34
formic_nobody uses drm to protect free videoMay 30 22:35
MinceRincluding video and audio sharing sitesMay 30 22:35
MinceRyet.May 30 22:35
formic_are any right now?May 30 22:35
MinceRif DRM is the way for them to lock you into nonfree codecs and nonfree browsers, they'll try to force it.May 30 22:35
MinceRis there DRM support in official HTML5 video/audio right now? is it deployed in stable releases of mainstream browsers?May 30 22:36
formic_I'm leaving but my point about drm is that just because something is going to support it; doesn't mean everyone will automatically switch to DRM video. Some will and some won't.May 30 22:36
MinceRand the some that will, will distort competition in the web browser market.May 30 22:36
formic_flash supports DRMMay 30 22:36
formic_why isn't youtube already doing thatMay 30 22:36
MinceRand they'll break the web furtherMay 30 22:36
MinceRtrash is installed as a separate packageMay 30 22:37
formic_why aren't sites already using the drm in flash ?May 30 22:37
MinceRso a free browser can run trashMay 30 22:37
formic_flash is still used more than html5 videoMay 30 22:37
MinceRtrash is bad enough, thoughMay 30 22:37
MinceRtrash should die, along with DRM on the webMay 30 22:37
MinceRbefore HTML5 gets infected by it as wellMay 30 22:37
formic_yeah well your argument failsMay 30 22:37
MinceRyeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.May 30 22:37
formic_flash has supported drm for years and nobody has jumped over to itMay 30 22:37
formic_yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.May 30 22:37
MinceRthey didn't need toMay 30 22:37
formic_to you tooMay 30 22:37
formic_nobody *needs* to use drm html5 video eitherMay 30 22:38
MinceRtrash kept changing often enough and was incompatible enough that not much competition appeared in flash playersMay 30 22:38
formic_im going, im not making overtime to argue with someone who is doomsayingMay 30 22:38
MinceRDRM doesn't belong on the web and it doesn't belong in web standardsMay 30 22:38
MinceRor in any kind of free/open standardMay 30 22:38

DaemonFCwell, there's the consolation prize anywayMay 30 22:56
DaemonFCjust refuse to allow them in the app store and don't specify a reason like Apple does with the rest of their competitorsMay 30 22:56
DaemonFCI have an idea that cell phone companies love the idea of Spotify chugging along taking tons of bandwidth that they can cram the customer's bill withMay 30 22:57
