You see, that's exactly it.

If you released the movie for free (even low quality) before the theatrical release, then two things happen.

1) All that money they spend on marketing is worthless
2) If the Movie is bad then nobody goes to watch it

At the moment, they can spend lots of money on marketing to fool people into going to see it in the cinema. The money they give to the marketeers can be written off against the 'profits'. If you got access to the whole movie prior to release, then they couldn't hide the lemons they produce under millions spent on bribing critics. If they couldn't bribe critics, then they would be forced to make good movies. Their ability to churn out shit movies is vital to their money laundering organisation.

It's not really black. If you look closely you'll see it's just really really really dark blue. Only Priest's cloths are actually black.

You could easily set up a telescope and camera on a balcony on an elevated point overlooking target area.

This is something I like about the latest Captain America movie, versus other avenger-related movies. Captain America is described as "The peak of human capability" which I take to mean he's not actually super-human. This means that the villains he fights don't have to be super-human. The Winter Soldier was a freak, but didn't have a super power.

It helps to ground the movie/story when the characters are not super-human. On the opposite side we have man of steel, which descended into a bit of a super-farce for the last hour between Clarke and Zod.

It depends on whether you embrace it or not. There are some people for whom game tester is an amazing job. It also depends on the games being tested. There is a small clip of a demo at a con done by one of the game testers.

When you are this good, even game testing can be fun, I guess.

Not entirely true.

Terrestrial TV companies (RTE in Ireland and BBC in UK) have agreements with the regulators to give them first shot at airing TV shows in the country. It can often be on their behest that these shows are not available to stream from Netflix and Hulu. It took years to even be able to get Netflix in Ireland in the first place!

I'd be VERY careful of any old person in NZ or Aus. Anyone able to survive the natural elements there for that long has to be particularly badass.

My wife is from Poland (I am Irish), and in order to go to the US for a holiday, we have to ring a premium phone line to arrange an interview, where we must demonstrate that we have return flights booked, hotel booked and enough spare cash to keep us going while we're there. She must also provide details of employment etc. to prove she won't try to stay there illegally.

This is before all the TSA bullshit which I, who can easily get a visa, won't stand for in the first place.

As a guy, I'm very tempted to start bringing a vibrator in my carry on just for the laughs.

I wonder if this is the mechanism involved in hypnotism.

And Micheal Bay movies!

Well of course it wasn't as colourful in WWII, they only had black and white back then, you insensitive clod!

Iceland is an island in the North Atlantic. I suspect you to be from somewhere landlocked, where the use of fish as a unit of measurement is as rare as a good tasting perch.

What can be really useful is a short, flexible, pole, about 2 feet long, with a red flag tied to the end, and a glass cutter. Given how in many places, there is a minimum of 3 feet, 1 meter or in some places even 1.5 meters, anyone hit by it would be breaking the law. Ireland, unfortunately, has no such law yet (the law says "Give sufficient distance" and not a specific value for sufficient distance).

Both analogies are false.

Volkswagen is the hardware (the computer), the ISP is the road (the internet).

The TOR operator is basically a Person parked outside the bank who will drive anyone, anywhere, no questions asked as they come out of the bank. So if someone come out wielding guns and carrying duffel bags of cash, the driver just smiles and nods and asks, "where to?".

There are 2 questions.
1) Is it irresponsible for someone to run a TOR node which can be used for criminal pursuit?
2) Is it possible to know what someone uses your exit node for?

I suspect the answer to number 2 is "No", which makes question 1 important. You have the Car, Someone provides the Road, they are just things (you might argue one war or another on the ISP, is it a thing or a service they provide) but you chose to run a TOR node that you are aware aides someone to perform illegal acts. It would be like selling guns to people and not asking them for any ID, or submitting the required paperwork for background checks. Is it reasonable to say "I'm just selling guns, I'm not responsible for how they are used. I didn't kill anyone"

I think we chose to quietly ignore the fact that in our quest to protect privacy online and maintain the anonymity of the TOR network, we are conveniently overlooking our responsibility for the outcome of such actions.
