Comment Re:Man, am I old ... (Score 1) 173

I copy the contents of all of my DVD and Blu-Ray movies to a RAID. Since storage is (relatively) cheap, I can shrink my physical hoarding to the space those discs take up in a binder in a closet and still watch my movies on-demand.

It's true that I own many movies that I may never watch again, but I'm paying for the opportunity to watch it whenever I want. Netflix doesn't even offer that level of custom content. It's a personalized Netflix.

Nobody is cataloging every shot, and nobody really needs the 15 shots taken in the space of 3 seconds using sports mode / virtual motor wind etc. You need the "best" shot(s) from that group.

Storage is cheap and sometimes you just never get around to paring it. You're right that it's all about the "one" shot for most people.

Contains your session ID. Someone could steal your current session, but not your credentials. I'm sure you could argue that a session ID is a credential, but unlikely. Can be mitigated (if known) by simply logging out of the site and invalidating the session ID.
