"The artists still created and the people got their culture."
Ya, the people got it, eventually and second hand. The patronage system was so that the rich fat cats could have something that their neighbor rich fat cats didn't.
Shakespeare's plays? All second hand from people that remembered the plays and wrote them down later. I'm sure a description of $BLOCK_BUSTER_FX_MOVIE is just as good as the movie itself.
I wonder if the same people screaming bloody murder about this are the same ones that gleefully pointed out that the Apple Store "artist" was perfectly in the right taking close up (secret) photos in public.
Look at the geography of the U.S., other than an air invasion a force would have to land at the coasts, Canada, or Mexico, two of those would be acceptable losses and for the third there's a secret strategic reserve of hockey players.
This may come as shock to you, but some people, and companies like Netflix, have to pay for the content they use!
Here's the really complex part, if their costs increase enough they may pass along that cost to their customers instead of doing the honorable thing and go out of business. How dare they!
The problem is you can't single anyone out here. It has to be everyone or a random selection. Otherwise people get their underwear in a bunch and go frothing mad about institutional *ism and the security being *ists.
Just mention profiling and people go beserk, start screaming that racial and religious profiling doesn't work (as if those were the only things to profile).

Short range tactical powerpoints perhaps, strategic powerpoints usually have a payload in the TB range.
MIA presumed KIA, someone leaked his identity.
It's OK, high school history never makes it up to WW2. There was this Pear Harbor thing, and then the Aleutian Islands.

"and they visit the movie theater more, especially for opening weekend releases which typically cost more to attend"
It was plausible up until that bit.
Unless all the pirate types at /. are closet theater goers or perhaps the /. pirates are "special" pirates.

One would think that by /. standards any purchased coffee is scorched, over priced, and pretentious.
I wonder if there was an easy way to pirate Starbucks coffee would /. love Starbucks then?
Don't get the city folk all riled up. Their food comes from the corner bodega, no farmers involved at all.
Obliviously never heard of a roof rake or ice dams.
Doesn't matter if something is still there, it wasn't his to do with as he pleased.
Is it yours to take? No? Theft. There, no physical property analog loophole.
/. should really have a macro for that quote as much as it gets used here.
Type BFQ and autoexpand from there.
Common sense is not common and what is touted as "common sense" rarely makes sense when scrutinized.
For example, any political campaign that runs with a core "common sense" message.
Dropping landline for mobile and cable for bittorrent is standard operating procedure for geeks around here.
Anyone with just a 2mbps internet service is obviously hurting, I bet he even had to drop down a tier on his mobile data plan.

I'd hate to have your job these days. Any little conflict is a WAR!!!!!, any tragedy a holocaust, and everyone is a Nazi if you don't like them.
Chrysanthemum-mum-mum-mum-mum doesn't cash in on the bitcoin craze.
/. likes, no, loves Minecraft. That's what makes their DRM different.

Fisher-Price interface was a Windows feature. You might want to check the label of your iPhone to make sure it's not an iFone.
Mastectomies would reduce the odds of breast cancer but I don't see people advocating lobbing off a girl's breasts for that modest medical benefit.
I think some cultures remove the clitoris in the "circumcision".
Though even a ritualized pin prick has been deemed a no-go in America for females, still A-OK to lob off the foreskin.

So why isn't anyone worried about their sons being "groped"?
