Fox could easily air material owned by them produced well before the date of a YouTube video - something they purchased from the archives or another company, or featuring music recorded decades ago - thus rendering simple date checking useless.

The main difference is the availability of LTSB and Remote App, and then, to a lesser extent, AppLocker, BrancheCache, Credential Guard, Device Guard, DirectAccess, and better policy management choices, like...the Windows Store.
Driving is a funny example. It's precisely the reason we have seatbelt laws. Sure, you can skip them, but you'll get fined -- generally a large enough fine to convince people who would otherwise roll the dice on not wearing a seatbelt to do so. So, we legislate lower shared medical (and municipal fire/police/ambulance) costs.
In a previous life, I did the end-user computing environment for a large healthcare company. At one facility we had a PC running a pneumatic tube system. The tube system controller card was full-length ISA. That machine was getting upgraded....never.
I'm sure a dozens of us have have similar stories -- old fax cards come to mind.
>No you can't. Technically, you can't even let your wife watch it. It's licensed single viewer only.
I've looked at all of the source articles, and I can't find anything that says single viewer only. Details are vague, at best: a $150 set top box and $50 rentals with a kickback to theaters and a complimentary **PAIR OF TICKETS** to a brick-and-mortar theater. A pair!
I agree that inviting others over and making them pay a portion of the price is likely in violation of the license, but I'm probably still free to pony up the dough and let whomever *happens* to be in my house watch it.
...because that family of four gives a lot of that money to the theater, not to the movie distribution company.
On opening weekend, which is who this service is marketed for, a family of four might pay the same $50 for four theater tickets as for the PPV service, but the $50 they give at the theater might only return 70% of that -- the percentage is higher on opening weekend -- or $35. If they can keep $45 of the $50, this becomes a win for them if the average tickets "lost" per $50 sale is fewer than 5.
Also, any $50 views during week 2 and 3 likely only return 50% of the ticket price to the movie distributor. Sales that week generate a lot more money.
I PPV most UFC events. I'm a fight fan, and I can afford them. Friends watch them with me, and bring food. We all win there....if I'm watching a fight delayed, I have to live in a spoiler-free bubble of caution and the fear of looking at my phone....but other than some movie with a twist, there isn't too much other than a whodunnit, a "blockbuster" Marvel where someone dies, or a Star Wars type spoiler that I think can genuinely ruin a movie for me.
Why? Because it's not how you like to spend your dollars?
My wife and I could easily have another couple over and this becomes $12.50 per person, which is below the price of good tickets in my city, before factoring in any supplemental costs. Even if I just watch it with my wife, $25/person isn't particularly outrageous for entertainment - especially since it's only another option in long list of entertainment viewing choices. Sometimes, I just want to stay home, order a pizza, maybe put a few drinks in me and not worry about a taxi, and watch a movie. I imagine Deadpool would have been a good candidate for this service - especially if I can pause and rewind.
Despite the fact that Safeway has rib roasts for $5.77/lb, lots of people still prefer to have people prepare them and serve them to them for $20-50/lb. And, by the same token, despite the fact that I can get good pulled pork with little to no effort at a reasonable price from the nice place up the street, sometimes I like to spend an entire weekend smoking my own pork shoulder, despite the fact that it's not an "efficient" use of my time.
It's not "stupid" when people place different values on their time and comfort than you do.
That problem has existed for as long as it's been possible to bear false witness. It's been such a pervasive problem that it's been codified into laws since we put them to tablet and papyrus. Just because you can *also* do it with the contents of a flash drive doesn't make it anything new.
I'm an atheist, complete with my COFSM and ULC ordinations.
There are things in this world that I don't understand, and while most certainly any "vibe" I get on something is probably the result of chemicals in my brain responding to some brain-stem trigger I'm not consciously aware of, I think a monosyllabic word that says, "I feel something I can't explain, and I'm going to act on it" isn't a problem.
I don't have answers for why we smile and laugh either. It doesn't make me believe in God (yours, his, or anyone else's), but I'm free to ponder if there's meaning to all this, and I'm free to believe in the ULC's "do good" despite it not always being in my direct best interests.
1) It's impossible to guess what the things you want are, so I can't say what you can or can't find with ease. 2) They make it VERY obvious who you're buying from. 3) No, they don't. 4) "I will not pay for a subscription to get discounts." "I get that shit from Costco." -- WAT?

...until Earny-BestBuy starts tracking them, automatically requesting thousands of refunds every day, and then gets Best Buy to change their policies as well.
Earny, by automating it (and siphoning off a percentage), spoiled it for the rest of us.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Fox could easily air material owned by them produced well before the date of a YouTube video - something they purchased from the archives or another company, or featuring music recorded decades ago - thus rendering simple date checking useless.
Because your gamertag is how you appear in most online cooperative/competitive games, and how you communicate with others on the platform.
Some of us prefer a nice, clean tag, and don't want to be XxlDankM33ms42069lxX.
Obviously the "good" gamertags went early, and a lot of them have been sitting stale for a while.

A beer volcano. Midgets. Strippers.
>OK AC, then please explain where the universe came from.
The lack of an explanation for the origin of the universe is not proof of any invisible sky creature.
The onus for proving the existence of mythical beings is on those who believe in mythical beings, not those of us who don't.
Almost every Olympic sport has it's own rules for who can and can't be a competitor; and many of those allow a professional to compete.
The amateur qualification for rowing can be (and likely is) very different from the amateur qualification for track and field.
