Sorry. If this is a service I pay for in any way, shape or form, I refuse to be burdened by ads. If I'm paying for said service and you're forcing ads on me as well, I simply do not need the service and will do without.
With their regressive attitudes and their willingness to demonetize ANYTHING at the drop of a hat...I don't think this will make any real difference to people already being butt-fucked by YouTube, simply for not conforming to the YouTube censors' own political ideals.
1: Arguably, home screens in the 50+ inch category can deliver a similar experience. If not, there are still projection systems that CAN. And you don't have to sit 10-20 feet back from the screen to get the effect.
2: Sorry, but "people everywhere" is part of the PROBLEM of big theaters. All the noise they generate. Or being crammed too close together with someone. Or if someone has foregone their "bi-annual bath". Or they eat loud *candy bag crinkle*, etc.
3: Sorry, not an issue.
4: Again, not an issue.
5: High end home theater systems can deliver wonderful sound quality. And I would argue that modern theaters are, quite simply, TOO LOUD. Some films are cranked so high they cause auditory distress in the viewer.
6: This is 2017 goddammit. Fuck previews. We can watch them on the Internet. Or they can do what they ALREADY do. Include them ahead of the movie for a specific amount of time.
7: How is some jackass group of kids jawing away while you're trying to watch any less of a disruption? Besides, I'm single. I don't have an issue with kids screaming. Nor is my living space set up in a way that makes doing dishes while watching a movie even possible, let alone feasible. NOT AN ISSUE!
8: And here, arguably, a home environment still delivers a superior bonding time with friends, loved ones, etc. Additional audience members are, inevitably, unwanted distractions. And the penchant of theaters moving towards assigned seating makes this even worse.
9: At home I can curl up WITH A FUCKING TWO LITER (67.6 ounces) if I want. And it costs me under a buck. Not $6-8. Same for candy and other concession-type items. And, with the shift towards lots of theaters offering "American Grill" food? I can bring in (or have delivered, or cook) almost anything my tubby little heart (well, actually it's a digestive organ below my heart) desires!
10: Who the fuck cares about "bragging rights"? Seriously, what mental defective gives a damn about "bragging rights" to seeing a film? Especially when it's "Well *I* saw it IN A THEATER?"
Sorry, but the theater experience just isn't THAT special anymore. And the industry simply hasn't kept pace, while growing every more ridiculously expensive. Nowadays, the price of tickets and food (unless you either just go hungry or sneak stuff in) weighs in around $50-70 for two people. And, combined with other people's atrocious public behavior, why should anyone subject themselves to this?
So, you're trying to tell me that shitty construction quality is the reason that Nuclear Power, IN GENERAL, isn't feasible?
And yeah, Germany's divesting itself of nuclear. Then again, they're also cuddling up to how many economic migrants in an attempt to appear "accepting" and divest themselves of their racist past. At the cost of their populace being diluted, their women and children raped, and their general way of life being destroyed as accomodation methods.
And, because one former engineer now spouts off about how bad something is, I should just "accept"? Right?
Then they can have their say. Even if their.0001% holding accomplishes nothing.
Until they step up and take on some of the responsibility and risk that those owning and running said company do, they're entirely free to fuck the hell off and eat a dick.
It's just that 60+ years of social and political engineering (see "fearmongering") by the "nukes = BOMBS!" crowd have basically destroy almost any chance of sensible nuclear infrastructure in this country.
Wow! Yet again with the dumbass revisionist history...
The reactor houses in the Fukushima reactors didn't go anywhere during a storm or during the earthquake. Indeed, all the reactors went into shutdown mode properly and began cooling off.
The problem was the tsunami afterwards which flooded out poorly placed backup generators. And, had TEPCO (not Westinghouse) followed their site engineers' directions and built a better sea wall, NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
You mean like every other form of power in this country that's subsidized?
Or are you going to address the 60+ years of social engineering designed to demonize and hinder the development of nuclear power into a cheaper, but more ubiquitous form?
He basically argues that it's not fair because people don't understand what goes into making these things.
As if the fact of effort being expended ENTITLES him to monetary earnings somehow.
A lot of people don't understand what goes into building a house either.
But if the thing's drafty, you have holes in the walls you can drive a forklift through, the house is settling crooked, you have mold in various areas, using electricity in the home starts fires, BUT THE CARPETING IS TOP FUCKING NOTCH, people are going to call bullshit and not patronize your home building business or buy your latest built home.
Are you going to bitch about a review site where your former customers outline all the shit you did wrong in THEIR homes?
And Rotten Tomatoes is nothing more than a dispassionate aggregation of the general public's response to your film. It's not as if the site has it out for you.
But no. Ratner just wants a bigger payday. Because Ratner thinks that he was dealing with a bigger bunch of IP on a bigger budget. Therefore his overall renumeration should be N+1 of whatever he ACTUALLY gets.
Anyone who's the least bit tech-savvy can use WSUSOffline to draw down all the updates.
The only issue you have there is that Microsoft's update servers are randomly peppered with corrupted manifest files which prevent fresh WSUSOffline setups from downloading anything. So you have to do multiple attempts on multiple networks (sometimes) before getting a pristine manifest.
Once you have it, it's fine from there on out.
But yeah, this is major bullshit on Microsoft's part. And Nadella and his crew need to be drawn and quartered for this.

Fuck this sick "ads on everything" culture.
Oh! Aren't they that company that completely pissed away their complete ownership of the mobile market by refusing to remain relevant?
Yes! By completely fucking off on security, we've extended run time by three full hours!
Too bad it only takes someone 15 seconds to break in and corn-hole your device (by accident) or 5 seconds (if they're actually trying).
Holy shit, my personal little "nothing" channel is like 700 views short of being able to monetize!
How the fuck did THAT happen?

As in "This motherfucking service...They all need to die...NOW!"
Then have him go in and check it.
Make sure you unscrew all the lightbulbs in that area.
It's not "ESPN Has Seen the Future of TV and They're Not Really Into It "
It's "ESPN Has Seen the Future of TV and They're Not Really In It "
Wish the scoring system went higher than 5.
Considering the people I've seen walking along with their device out in front of their nose, oblivious to EVERYTHING, stumbling down the street...
If you're THAT addicted to your device that you completely zone out from reality, yeah, you need to do the gene pool a favor and die off.
Translation. You're some armchair quarterback commenting on something you have no real experience with.
You should have just been honest and said that up front.
Unless they involve COLLECTING money from the populace.
Then they're more permanent than stone.
Ah, now the moving goalposts.
And who the fuck are YOU to declare such a reactor is "unsafe"?
Oh that's right, you're just a random armchair nuclear physicist on the internet.
So, you're trying to tell me that shitty construction quality is the reason that Nuclear Power, IN GENERAL, isn't feasible?

You were saying something about conspiracies?
So long as the non-renewables they're made of hold out.
Then they can have their say. Even if their .0001% holding accomplishes nothing.
Until they step up and take on some of the responsibility and risk that those owning and running said company do, they're entirely free to fuck the hell off and eat a dick.
It's economically practical.

So we can have another compromised ad-whoring torrent program to fuck our systems up with.

Fuck him and the dolly rig he rode in on.
The banking system in the US is intrinsically tied back to the Federal Reserve. Which is part of the US government.
And he's bringin' Doomsday!
They're getting out now, before the unionization kills Uber dead.
A union can demand all the money it wants for its workers.
But if the company goes broke or simply can't generate the business required to support those figure.
Poof. Dead business.
No, that's NOT the only resolution.
