    Exactly that. Its as if knowing how to use a steering wheel and pedals suddenly turns you into a vehicle engineering expert.

    Excellent example!

    And a car analogy!

    Yep, the article states that it is speculation:

    So let us speculate, too.

    After 20-years in purgatory, one of gaming’s most heavily ridiculed peripherals of all time – the Virtual Boy – will be making a comeback. Yes gamers, the Virtual Boy 2 is set to be announced by Nintendo.

    Of course it is!

    Although they are definitely trying to couch their opinion as fact.

    'Chinese traders' trucks carried 20 copies of the film across the border the day after Christmas, just two days after its online release.'

    So that would be 20 times about 2GB, which easily fits on one 64G usb-stick the size of an inch. What did they need the trucks for ?

    There were extensive liner notes.

    Star wars is a terrible analogy anyway.

    True, there were no automobiles in Star Wars for a proper car analogy. Land-speeders, sure, but no cars.

    Star Wars took place long, long time ago. So what is this 1973 you are talking about?

  16. Re:Poor U.S. on Netflix Now Available In Cuba · · Score: 1

    Granted, if Netflix are actually asking 7.99 U.S. dollars per month from Cubans, they'll have a problem. Unless they meant it was for the whole of Cuba? Maybe they'll be able to afford it. Just use the same resolution as a VideoCD but with the compression capabilities of H.264 and that will also solve the bandwidth problem.

    It's 7.99 for all of Cuba, but approximately 11.7 milliion Cubans will be staring at this message most of the time:

    The web doesn't need more heavily censored platforms. One persons troll is another persons dissident.

    I agree in principle, but what happened to Zelda Williams was not "dissent."

    You're mad that someone's action saved the documents from being destroyed? Did you forget to read the last sentence of the summary?

    All the findings are unique as all documentary evidence from the codebreaking process was supposed to be destroyed under wartime security rules.

    Maybe the OP is from the War Office?
