People have asked about this on the archive.org forum but I haven't read them all to see if there are any good answers.
People are willing to pay if the prices is right and the convenience is there.
Are they ok whipping their credit card out for a monthly/annual subscription on every site they visit? No way, but that doesn't mean they are unwilling to pay anything.
Micropayments have been proposed for years as an alternative to advertising but it hasn't been practical to enter payment data for every web site, or to make payments less than a dollar when there are credit card fees (and minimums?).
Readability, Pocket/ReaditLater (and Instapaper?) all talked about passing a portion of their own revenues on to the content creators.
The advertising network model is broken and has a steady stream of malvertising on reputable web sites, as well as making the web worse by crowding out content more and more in favor of advertisements.
I'm hoping something better wins, and when it does, I will be ready with my credit card.

At one time, Netflix digital content was full of grade A movies instead of the mix of A, B, and C movies it has now.
Then the MPAA wised up and learned from the RIAA's deal with Apple's iTunes and decided they didn't want to cede content distribution to a single mammoth provider ultimately ending up with DRM-free music sales.
Netflix tried to split DVD and digital into two companies (Netflix and Qwikster) to allow them to bargain better with the studios, but the split failed and Netflix ultimately caved to MPAA demands to delay new releases on DVD in exchange for discounted DVD prices and the opportunity to be allowed to negotiate for streaming rights. (Notable competitor Redbox has not agreed to this release window and just pays retail price for new release DVDs.)
The studios renegotiated their contracts to make digital content prohibitively expensive for Netflix.
This is why there are so many web sites with competing catalogs and no one place to easily watch anything you want. Hulu, Vudu (Wal-Mart), Amazon, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Daisuki, iTunes, Crackle, Google Play, etc.

It may seem like splitting hairs, but the question is was his Christianity motivational for his murder or merely incidental? Did he cite Christian scripture as his justification? Did he commit murder at the promptings of his pastor?
These are the comparisons which should be emphasized when drawing parallels to mass shooters who were actually motivated by their faiths.

This is one reason I often will archive to both http://web.archive.org AND archive.is.
Archive.is explains its robots.txt policy in its FAQ.

append a + to the end of goo.gl or bit.ly links to preview them.
prepend tinyurl.com with the preview subdomain to preview it.
there are also a plethora of url expander sites that you can put a url into and see the full url.
my favorite was longurl.org but it's defunct. ExpandURL is another.

I don't really know how much money it takes to run a police department, but it's one of the primary things I expect my taxes to take care of.
Cut spending to fund it you have to.
Instead, any time there are budget cuts the first things to get the axe are police, firemen, and public parks. -_-
Interesting point.
Additionally, I submit that the deterrent effect comes from the likelihood of punishment and not merely the severity of the penalty.
possibility of legal threats != actual legal threats != actual prosecution != actual conviction.

Some sites have tried to catalog into an easily searchable interface:
https://www.justwatch.com/
http://www.flixfindr.com/
http://www.canistream.it/
But still, there are some shows that are just not available anywhere (e.g. Rawhide tv western with Clint Eastwood).
tldr: Netflix would compete with cable television if it could.

Movies will sometimes be released with both a theatrical cut and a director's cut.
This is the viewer's cut.
It may not match creative intent, but it's out of the creator's hands and should be left up to the viewer to decide.

Sure, but Google Chrome allows you to disable Javascript and force click-to-play for flash.
Last I checked, there is no such thing as "click to play" for HTML5 in Google Chrome.

Thanks!
I've heard the estimate of hundreds of thousand of American/Japanese lives saved by using the Atomic bombs.
I've never heard any estimates of Chinese lives or lives of others in the Pacific.
Any ideas?
source?
The lifetimes of those involved.
Time to get over it.
It's time to stop cursing Alexander the Great. But some cultures pass down this hatred as part of their oral tradition to keep the hate alive.
