Depends on if you have the bandwidth to download a 20Gig Bluray file, or instead opt for the OK compressed 800mb file.

From what I can tell it is getting worse and more intrusive, basically it just ends up degrading the experience (as they just blur out everything). I always wondered why they did not just make the watermarks less obtrusive. All they would need to do is change a few pixels here and a few pixels there. Invisible to the human eye, but easy enough for a computer to identify.

Yes, but due to bandwidth, harddrive, and video player restrictions most of us do not download 20 gig movies, we download the 800 mb file that looks and sounds OK. And those critic BRs often have watermarking all over them, which are annoying to watch through.

What? "willing to make the extra effort and take the (albeit) small risk" What extra effort, it is literally as easy as it is possible for it to ever be. You are complaining because films to be auto download themselves onto your hard drive? And there are loads of countries where the risk is 0. Where 0 people have been sued/the laws do not even make it illegal technically. Hell, for most of teh world this is true for DOWNLOADING a movie.

So are you saying that there is no shortage or anything, or that you need more people to stop the children from throttling each other when they lose?

And it is just a boring simplistic game. Hell after a few months learning the basics it is basically just memorising every combination possible. Chess is for Autistics, forget about it and play something worth your time.

Forget all that, this is the internet. These planets are all probably going to be named something akin to "Hitler was right". Mountain Dew Competion

What are Asian babies going for nonwadays. I cannot imagine very much. It does not cost that much to feed a person for a year of conception, and you might get two or three children out of one birth

It is weird how the publisher/(et al) always overcharges for everything, in all industries. Hell, for knives there are companies who charge twice as much for their clearance damaged goods (with no warranty) than resellers sell their pristine new with manufacturer's warranty. There are some industries where basically no one sells at the recommended price.

Really, so why does everyone suggest overwriting things like 6/8 times? Just to future proof it?

Data cannot be destroyed, that is a fundamental axiom of physics. Someone might read your data based on the smoke your chimney emits.

How many times does it overwrite the files?

Yes, of course it will not be encrypting "empty" sections of the hard drive. So who knows what it is leaving unencrypted. It also would not prevent any method that cracks encryption. Also, since we all know that recovering deleted files is trivial, it would be possible to get back the deleted encryption key.....

What is with Amazon lately? I just got free shipping on an order less than $3 Canadian. How does that many any sense?

I thought the same thing. They seems to be comparing cities to other cities, and completely ignoring all other places you might choose to live.
