This is exactly what I've been saying to my friends. You know George is coming from an honest place. Disney just wants to extract the cash from our wallets.
Knowing Lucas's plans for the franchise "should make every Star Wars fan send a note of gratitude to whoever at Disney decided to buy the franchise and take it away and out from under Lucas' control."
I still pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime, & PS Vue. But I download all the shows I enjoy and put them on a personal media server just so I can have everything in one place for my viewing pleasure. I could very easily stop paying for all of those services and still keep watching whatever I want. But I can afford to do so and the cost is still far far less than paying for straight up cable.
All browsers are free yet they provide incredible functionality and value. I'm OK with the price of providing data to whomever has made the browser that I'm using. As long as they don't stifle my ability to anonymize myself or my ability to block any and all ads that I choose. So as long as this is true I'll select the browser that best suits my needs.
Does an ISP like Comcast have the ability to provide different services to different regions or even individual homes? It sure seems so to me since I have standard internet speeds while my neighbor gets their high speed internet. So it should be no problem for them whatsoever to follow the laws of each state in regards to access. Or am I wrong in this line of thought?
As a daily user of both Reddit and Slashdot for many long years I can easily say that Reddit has the far superior layout which is far easier to read and interact with of the two. Also, Slashdot denizens are much much closer to 4chan dwellers than anyone here wants to admit to. So my question to you is this. If you found Reddit so distasteful, then why do you hang around here?
As I mentioned to another poster. I don't think the US populace is willing to make this kind of sacrifice just so we can extricate ourselves out of middle east affairs. I also feel that a lot of people here wouldn't do it based on moral and religious grounds.
Oh I wouldn't ever assume that we couldn't do it. I believe that this country can literally do almost anything when properly motivated. But when it comes to giving up a lot of comforts and cheap goods for our complete withdrawal from middle east affairs? I think that's an impossible sell.
If you realize that this is a complex issue then why would you suggest such a simplistic and short-sighted action? Also, we don't produce anywhere near the amount of oil needed to match our consumption.
You imply people are saying and doing things that are out of touch but you never say what those things actually are and who they're out of touch with? This is akin to the homeless guy on the corner constantly saying "it's the governments fault!".
All the companies that announced this and the media that is reporting on it all gloss over the fact that the Ray Tracing that is being talked about is supplementary the standard rasterized shading engines. We aren't going to be getting 100% ray traced scenes. We'll get rasterized scenes with things like reflections and shadows being ray traced. This will fix the issue that rasterization has where objects outside of the viewing frustum are computationally ignored. 100% ray tracing is still a pipe dream with the current hardware standards that most consumers have.
It's more censoring speech that is not fact but passed along as fact. If it can be proven not to be factual, then it shouldn't be afforded any sort of censorship protection.
The third season will air later in the year than season two did. It is expected to be delayed to avoid competition with the 2018 Winter Olympic Games held in South Korea and concluding February 25th.[3]
The third season will largely be based on the remaining half of Caliban's War and will center on Abaddon's Gate.

BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Disney is way worse.
Yeah, I'm not sure why we keep letting you post comments?

So we will always have homeless people in housing markets like Seattle.
Unless they they utilize taxes as they have already done, which is the right of the government to do.

...that Lord of the Rings show though. Priorities.

From reading the comments on this story you'd think that all of these Russian trolls solely exist on Slashdot.
I just have to install the uBlock and Facebook purity extensions.....for free.....and the ads go poof!

Aaaand there goes all of fiction, since it can be proven to be non-factual.
Straw man much?
censoring speech we don't like
It's more censoring speech that is not fact but passed along as fact. If it can be proven not to be factual, then it shouldn't be afforded any sort of censorship protection.
Funny, this says I'm not eligible. Probably because I don't rent their shitty modems and routers. I wonder if that means they can't filter my traffic.
Where exactly is the security section?
Title says it all.
Hello comrade.
From the wik.....which has me really excited now!

So I'm better sometime in March.
This is exactly the same reason why I like the Expanse and hate Interstellar as well! I'm glad someone else feels the same way haha!
