You can buy one from the intergalactic app store.

Don't connect your Smart TV to a network and don't use its apps, then it's basically just a Dumb TV correct?

Oops, I forgot to include a link to the AMC Theatres website. You can sign up for A-List there and get tickets for movies. They also have an app (available from your app store) that you can use to get tickets, and they can scan a QR code from the app at the theater to use as your ticket.

AMC Theatres has a membership deal that's pretty nice if you go to the movies fairly often and your local AMC theater or theaters has a selection of movies that you like. They have "AMC Stubs A-List". It is $20 plus tax per month ($21.75 for me) and you can see 3 movies a week or around 12 movies per month. You can see standard 2D, RealD 3D, IMAX 2D, IMAX 3D, etc., no new releases are excluded. Special event shows are mostly excluded (like Doctor Who or the recent Forrest Gump anniversary showing). If you see 3 movies in a month then it pays for itself. Plus, you get automatic upgrade from regular size drink to large, you build up points to get free drink or popcorn, etc. It's a pretty nice deal, I've watched a few movies at the theater that I might have waited for home video release.

...for a moment.

Windows 8.1 isn't terrible, especially when compared to Windows 10.

Well said, I have no points so I'm modding you up with my mind.

I've had two computers offer to update Adobe Flash over the past couple of weeks. Both had Firefox installed and I assumed that I had the Flash plugin installed and it needed updating (and maybe it did). I don't use Firefox on those computers anymore, so instead I uninstalled the Flash plugin and Firefox. Problem solved / catastrophe averted.

Nice, but at the time of publication the slashdot article has no hyperlinks to downloads or release notes (or even to a goatse).

AMC Theatres has a new thing called "AMC Stubs A-List". For $20 a month (+ tax) you can watch 3 movies a week at any AMC theater. All formats (2D, 3D, Imax), showtimes, and movie selections are included, and your watch list resets every Friday morning. Special event movies aren't included. I signed up 2 weeks ago and watched 2 movies each week (4 so far) so the plan has already paid for itself this month. https://www.amctheatres.com/

This game was so awesome and we would play multiplayer with 4 or so people. I bought a CH Products Flightstick Pro for this game, the 8-way hat and throttle controllers were game changers. My best friend was so pissed that I could fly circles around him!

Or, never get hooked in the first place. That's what I did (or didn't) do.

It could be worse, they could flag your preferred program as incompatible and helpfully uninstall it for you.
