    No. Trusting the client is moronic. Perhaps if they had not been such morons they would not have had such issues.

    I never did provide a CC, when did they ask for that. Mind you I have a PSN account used only for netflix.

    They are the cheapest and lose/break less than the other carriers.
    They only operate as a loss as they are forbidden to raise prices except for with inflation. Since we fudge they inflation number they are stuck in the middle.

    I am not sure when Americans decided unions were evil, but I enjoy 40hour weeks and 5 day work weeks. Without unions we would all be virtual slaves.

    Nuclear power exists because of those weapons. At least in the uranium form, otherwise we may never have reached it or at least went lithium.

    That second car does not have all the docs, or someone could build it. AMD leaves out anything relating to video acceleration for example. This is to protect their windows DRM, meaning me a linux user is suffering due to windows DRM.

    Encrypting after dedupe breaks the whole point of encryption. It means every copy of the same file is encrypted the same way. That means I can tell who has what files. At that point you are encrypting only to claim you do it.

    Unless your landlord doesn't want you pulling HDMI cable through the wall from the PC room to the TV room.

    In any sane state he can't do a damn thing about it. So long as you fix the holes when you leave. Input is done via wireless, bluetooth works over these distances.

    Cheapskates like some members of my family are more likely to use an SDTV until it breaks and then replace it with an SDTV from a pawn shop or charity shop than to buy a new HDTV. "You don't need the sharper picture, Matthew; you can see your game just fine on the tube TV."

    So what.

    More likely they'll just stick with Netflix, which their existing BD player supports.

    Or their roku which will add support for this.

    Unless he's a fan of an out-of-market team, or a fan of NASCAR which is shown on cable more often than on OTA.

    You can watch the crashes on the highlights online or something. NASCAR has no other value. A NASCAR fan probably can't afford a computer/blue ray player for his trailer anyway.

    If they used real encryption they would have to host files over and over again. Encryption breaks file deduping. No way is dropbox going to do something like that, there is no advantage in it for them.

    The TOS violation is the only thing that matters here. It is also why I never used dropbox and never will. I will keep my own files on my own server thank you.

    HDMI can go hundreds of feet, so desktop is fine.

    SDTVs are on the way out, you can't even buy them anymore.

    The general public are morons and will buy a google TV or another set top box for this.

    The sports fan living inside will be glad to hear about OTA TV, bars and that he could go to live sporting events with the money he is saving.
