Night Vision Goggles vs Pirates
Cormorant writes "It was reported in The Guardian that Warner Brothers has sent night vision goggles to cinemas across Britain for ushers to don and scan for camcorder pirates during the entire length of the movie [the new Harry Potter], along with watermarks and codes displayed on screen during the film. Mr Graham said "Video piracy is rife everywhere, and with the UK screening the film four days before the rest of the world, Warner was concerned the movie would end up on the internet. Warner sees the investment as negligible compared with the threat to the whole industry."
It's a lot more than that in any respectable theater in the Metro Detroit.
Wow, that's only the second time I've ever seen someone use the word "respectable" in the same sentence with the phrase "Metro Detroit".
Last time it was something like "Metro Detroit detectives report finding an un-identified victim with a respectable sized hole in his skull".

Be careful when boasting about your height and strength around here.
Once after posting about how I beat the crap out of a punk who knocked over my daughter while yapping on his cell phone, there was no end to the nasty comments about my being a bully and a criminal. I'm 6'1, BTW.
wbs.
Huh?
