Boot Camp really was only ever any use because Apple adopted EFI and never supported legacy BIOS booting. Now that Windows and Linux both support EFI, Boot Camp isn't even necessary at all.
Unfortunately switching back to the PC port dropped signal which required me to reset the PC.
And even if the BIOS update didn't fix it, Linux is capable of being set up to ignore EDID information and can be explicitly told which port to send a video signal over.
Or, old content just isn't worth making available in that way at all. If $3/mo. of your subscription goes toward licensing for old content and you only care about a few shows, you're better off spending $36/yr. on DVD/Blu-Ray deals.
It's new content that's going to be in larger numbers of niche venues. Recently, Seeso came out as a niche of comedy, standup and British sitcoms, and are only at $3.99 a month. It would take an awful lot of those subscriptions to be more expensive than cable, and you're effectively getting that a la carte cable package people always say they wanted.
Subscribing to a service for a few months and then dropping it is probably fine in that case. It's a way of getting a larger audience without actually lowering the price. And if the service provider already owns the content, they're not losing out by licensing for eyeballs they don't actually have all year.
They were paying a lot of money for some very old shows that everyone's already seen. That might be quantity, but it's not quality where it counts for me - I don't really enjoy re-watching much.
You also can't have a go-to streaming service when studios are going to make better money with their own streaming service. They sold a dream they can't fulfill, and let their DVD service rot in the process (which really did have almost everything imaginable at one point).
the only way people will pay that is if they drastically increase content, live TV, sports etc No - I won't pay an increased cost. That's why I got rid of cable.
They are going to have to increasingly niche themselves or split out their content to multiple subscription options. There's no way I want to pay for more selection than I need. I'll just start buying DVD/Blu-Ray of shows for less money unless Netflix DVD has what I want.
They're dropping a lot of old stock of DVDs. In fact, about 1/3 of my DVD queue is no longer available at all. It's true, though. They imagined a world where you could watch anything ever made on one service - and a lot of people bought into it. I'm still on the DVD service, but I'm finding that more and more back-catalog are available as one-time rentals from Amazon streaming for fairly cheap.
There is still a lot of older obscure content that has yet to be released on DVD. Or newer content - Arrested Development season 4 is only available in HD on Netflix streaming. I want the Blu-Ray to complete my set of all four seasons, but they only offer DVD to own. Ironically, I can buy a perpetual HD digital copy from Amazon. Netflix can easily double-dip on subscription charges and home video - and I'd gladly buy some shows on disc even while I have access over Netflix to be able to always watch it in full quality with no buffering. And I also know that Netflix won't be around forever and that the available content will eventually change.
Netflix should be your answer. Smaller markets, but more of them to fill every niche.
When the recording artist ditches the label, do you really care what replication costs are for the music? The real cost is how long it takes to sit down and write/record/mix/master it. And that's not a short amount of time. The risk has to be worth it vs. the potential reward, since you can't work your day job and be a full time artist. On the other hand, when the label takes a huge percentage, you shouldn't be surprised the cost is even higher right now.
Distribution, like paperback books, were never the main cost to creating art.
it is not the recording industry that grants the licenses
ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC may not be the recording industry, but they are definitely part of the music industry. Songwriter profits from that indirectly, but the owner of the specific recording also gets a cut.
The labels will be dead. Those 6 customers will be the music business and artists will sell directly to them. BMI and ASCAP aren't going anywhere, though, because they handle royalties for songs in movies and TV shows.
Precedent on that was officially set long ago when video rental stores were sued by Hollywood. First sale rights extend to the copyrighted material. Loaning material constitutes transferring ownership temporarily.
Clearing out U-Verse IPTV and then offering streaming packages instead will not free up bandwidth. Sounds like they're rebranding U-Verse TV to DirecTV and changing the backend technology to open up access to people without AT&T Internet. I guess they realized they don't have to limit their TV market only to their phone territories.
They're not saying it's not lighting up for everyone. They're saying that there's no increase in visual cortex activity. I find that if I'm sitting and thinking about a complex math or visual-spatial problem, I stop seeing somewhat. I'm just unable to notice what's going on around me. It's likely that sighted people are just reducing their real-world visual processing to make way for the other computation.
Are you sure you're not partially color blind? Green looks very little like white. And they're trying to be noticed (to prove you've received the "safe or not" update), so I doubt they're going for subtle.
Would have been far easier to adopt if you could convert the branching created for a DVD/Blu-Ray release or to be able to merge this into a combined workflow.
With the Disney example, a lot of their movies even have different imagery for different audio languages (on-screen signs/documents/posters/opening title animation in an animated movie are drawn in alternate languages).
That's the nature of inkjets. They dry out. Just print something small every couple of weeks or buy a laser. Unless you want your printed pages to smudge, you want the ink to be able to dry out. There's no easy way around it. It's the ink prices that are the only problem with this.
That's beside the point. My point is that overall driving statistics are not a good indicator of your own personal safety vs. an autonomous car. Nothing more.

Why shouldn't it get smaller

ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC may not be the recording industry, but they are definitely part of the music industry. Songwriter profits from that indirectly, but the owner of the specific recording also gets a cut.
Unfortunately (for the RIAA) the study showed that people who owned cassette decks bought 75% more albums than people who didn't.
When the RIAA heard of the concept of "try before you buy" they wanted to charge money for the free samples, too.
The labels will be dead. Those 6 customers will be the music business and artists will sell directly to them. BMI and ASCAP aren't going anywhere, though, because they handle royalties for songs in movies and TV shows.
They're singing to the profit, "Never gonna give you up"
Precedent on that was officially set long ago when video rental stores were sued by Hollywood. First sale rights extend to the copyrighted material. Loaning material constitutes transferring ownership temporarily.
If you watch a video off a stream that isn't official...the ad revenue doesn't go back to the artist.
Then that's piracy. But also, they are due performance royalties for the stream regardless of whether they get any ad revenue.

It's open the same way that Chrome is. If you fork it, you can't call it Chrome and you can't use Google's trademarks all over it.
A living canary tells you nothing about the safety of the world around you.

With the Disney example, a lot of their movies even have different imagery for different audio languages (on-screen signs/documents/posters/opening title animation in an animated movie are drawn in alternate languages).
Because playing a video in a background where 90% of the downloaded data is wasted is not a problem...

That's beside the point. My point is that overall driving statistics are not a good indicator of your own personal safety vs. an autonomous car. Nothing more.
How are you going to prove it with data? Each person is an individual.
I doubt your data on autonomous cars causing more death
What data? I'm claiming that statistics are NOT individual people. How am I supposed to cite statistics on that?
But you're not replacing those drivers. They are still driving their own car. The people using autonomous cars now could do better themselves.
