I'm sure there will be uncensored copies available at all the local DVD outlets in a few days, it takes time to download the show and burn it to sufficient copies of physical media.
Most people don't have the hardware to take advantage of higher quality video and audio anyway... Even a lot of people who buy a large tv set tend to use the built in speakers instead of having a decent sound setup.
Although that brings an annoyance, hdmi being a single cable instead of separate channels for audio and video forces you to upgrade your audio receiver at the same time as your tv set.
And how much of that upgrade is due to 1080p vs 720p, and how much is due to the projector being newer and having a fresh bulb etc not to mention confirmation bias?
The annoying thing with streaming is that the quality varies depending on available bandwidth, and the available bandwidth fluctuates often especially on consumer connections... I'd rather download the whole movie at a decent quality, and then watch it, or watch it offline when i'm without connectivity (eg while flying).
Linux still supports old binaries (eg a.out), but you will also need the corresponding libraries that those binaries were linked against. Modern distros don't ship with old libraries preinstalled as it would be wasteful bloat (and potential source of security holes) in the vast majority of cases. There is less of a need to retain old libs because the vast majority of code is open and can (or has) been recompiled.
Old source should compile just fine, i've previously compiled programs which predate linux (written for sunos) and they still compile and run on a modern linux system. If it doesn't compile, at least you have the source and can modify it until it does.
Windows and Linux behave differently by default in the presence of underlying disk errors... Different hypervisors also behave differently in the event of their network storage devices suffering problems. Different network storage protocols also behave differently.
For instance if a drive fails or starts returning a large number of errors, Linux will remount it readonly in order to prevent further corruption while windows will continue trying to perform writes. This can be pretty damaging in the case of NAS storage, where the hypervisor is accessing the NAS but the VM sees it as a locally attached disk. If there is a temporary problem (eg network interruption like a switch being restarted) and the NAS comes back, then the errors will stop and windows will continue running - however some writes may have become lost during the period of outage, linux will have remounted the filesystem readonly so any running services will probably have failed.
There are many other variables to consider, for instance NFS will block causing the system to hang until the server comes back (but it shouldn't lose any data)...
Some systems also cut corners (eg marking writes as complete before the data has been fully committed to disk) in the name of performance, but this can cause corruption in the event of power failures etc.
Far too many factors to consider as to why corruption may have occurred.
Once released, they will have a criminal record making it more difficult for them to find legitimate work... Plus having been in prison, they will have gained many new criminal contacts.
As they are unable to find legitimate work, the only offers they have available will be those from their newly acquired criminal contacts.
Yes but how do you benchmark and reward this? Police are often judged by the numbers they arrest, which gives them incentive to allow crimes to take place and then arrest the perpetrators afterwards. If they actually prevented and reduced the level of crime, their arrest rates would drop as there would be less criminals to arrest.
The rich wall street types typically have very low "income" because it results in lower tax payments (and lower fines if they're income based)... For instance that bentley might legally be owned by the company and their minimum wage employee just has use of it for "business purposes".
Take parking tickets, while some people might deliberately be breaking the law others might have circumstances outside of their control, for instance mechanical failure of the vehicle or delays making it impossible to return to the vehicle before the parking expires.
Also as you point out, rehabilitation is often very poor... People might make a stupid mistake which results in jail, but after that their life is ruined - they cant get a job because they have a criminal record and they have lots of new criminal contacts they met in prison, so their only way to survive is to turn to further crime.
An ounce of pot is not necessarily a victimless crime, there is a lot of other crime associated with the supply of drugs - people could have been murdered in order to supply you with that ounce of pot, and you could also end up doing something stupid which harms others once you've got high from taking that.
That requires personal responsibility... And while i'm all for letting people do whatever they want provided it doesn't affect others, i wouldn't consider most addicts to be victims... The addictive effects of various things are well known and documented, so at some point they made a conscious decision to take a substance which they knew to be addictive.
Things like "policing for profit" are partly due to flawed performance criteria, if you judge a police force's performance by the number of arrests made then they will seek to make as many arrests as possible rather than try to reduce or prevent crime. It's also a side effect of capitalism, with everything being driven by money people will usually choose short term or personal profit over the greater benefit to society.
Fines proportional to income can also be abused, the rich go to great lengths to ensure that their actual "income" is very low in order to pay less taxes, they would use these same techniques to pay less fines so such rules would be disproportionately harmful to those on moderate incomes.
Ensuring that prisoners either don't get released, or get brought back quickly is good for business. Actually operating the visits costs money, which is detrimental to business.
Obviously the owners of these prisons will be trying to reduce costs wherever they can.
Which is a lot less than most other western countries... And just because someone has a passport doesn't mean they ever travel, many people possess a passport to use as a form of ID as many places demand to see a photo id.
You can have a dedicated 1gbps pipe per user, or a 10gbps (5g) pipe shared between 1000 users...
If you're sharing broadcast spectrum as with any wireless technology, then you are absolutely at the mercy of other users and environmental conditions. Where i am, i can get a strong 4g connection so at times i can download at close to 100mbit/sec with reasonable latency, but at other times the latency will spike massively and the throughput can be extremely poor. It's useful as a backup and for casual browsing, but its not useful for gaming or various other latency sensitive activities.
Contrast that with the wired connection i have which pulls 200mbit/sec and 6ms of latency all day long.
Any wireless service will only work where there aren't many users... Even with 5G there is a fixed amount of spectrum, which must be shared among the users. Once it's gone, its gone, whereas with cable you can run a separate fibre to each user. Whenever i've used a wireless technology, the latency and throughput varies massively and randomly whereas a wired connection is usually consistent.
While government interference in the market has been detrimental, a totally unregulated market would not work either except in very densely populated and affluent areas. A different approach is required...
You will get emergency treatment immediately in all of these countries, you will have to wait for non urgent treatment if you want that treatment for free, you have the option to pay if you want treatment sooner.
Actually, neither windows nor linux are suitable for non technical users in their typical state... Users do not want to learn how to install software, edit config files or make registry changes, and generally cannot be trusted to use a general purpose os without turning it into a malware infested mess.
What's suitable for end users are appliances which perform specific tasks the users want to accomplish, wether its interactive things like a smart tv, phone/tablet or games console or behind the scene functions like a router. Yes a general purpose computer can perform all of these tasks if configured to do so, and before dedicated devices were designed this was often the only way to accomplish the task.
Many such appliances are linux based, and have been preconfigured by someone who does know the system, and installed onto fully supported hardware.
Linux does NOT "just work", unless you're very lucky and using well supported hardware. One distro "might" install the closed source drivers for your wifi card, another probably won't or it'll tell you the name of the driver and leave you to figure out how to get it.
The same is true of both windows and macos, only work easily on hardware specifically designed for it and supplied with the software preinstalled. The trouble sometimes encountered trying to get linux on a machine intended to run windows can be more accurately compared to the trouble encountered trying to put windows on a machine originally intended to run something else, like a raspberry pi or chromebook.
Devices which are designed to run linux usually do so reliably and without any hassle whatsoever.
And you've never encountered old windows or mac software that hadn't been updated in a while, and consequently was painful/impossible to install on the latest version? The internet is littered with such things.

Block files with that extension, and push a policy to disassociate that extension so users don't open the files by mistake...
You may want tracking of animals outside of the barn, incase they escape...
Other than that you'd generally only need it inside the barn or farm area.
