They stand to lose tens of millions unless they're smart about how they do a private release now.
They will release straight to DVD, and they will make a killing. Wait, that came out wrong

You can't take down a full movie theatre with one suicide bomber, you would need several (at least one for each screen, somehow synchronized to maximize damage).
So you attend several ahead of time and plant bombs while you're there, there's loads of places in the average theater where you could hide an explosive. Then you set them off by cellphone. It's not rocket surgery. That nobody has done this already proves just how few terrists there actually are active on merican soil.
You got it wrong. Getting elected is how to get the American media to control you.
You all got it wrong. Controlling the American media is how you get elected.
You're missing the point. They didn't choose not to show the movie because of a terrorist threat. They chose not to show the movie because it would cost them money. Regardless of what they say, they are not taking the threat seriously.
They are acting like they are, so the damage is done. They have promoted kowtowing to terrorists.
What they are taking seriously is the number of customers who would choose not to come see The Interview
That sounds to me like taking it seriously.
I made it 2/3rds deep before I realized I was wasting my life
And that you could have just read TINAG.
I read quickly, because I'm good at it, so I enjoyed Reamde. But if you're slow, you might need to try another author.
So much for the 'information superhighway'.
Wow, you just invalidated your entire comment. Thanks!
Fire up wireshark, sort by DNS and pick any well known website at random. why are there all these queries for dozens of others sites?
Because you're not running ghostery. HTH, HAND.
Encryption has a cost, it isn't free.
Thermodynamics, how does it work!@!@@#!!
It increases CPU utilisation and power consumption.
Negligibly for the user; only slightly for the server end if specialized hardware is used.
It interferes with caching
Only at the proxy level.
and reduces network efficiency.
...and only if you're using proxy caching.
This is a dumb idea. A very dumb idea.
It's still smarter than making it easy to intercept your communications.
You say dumb, but some of us have been calling for end-to-end encryption of all communications since forever. If we have a right to privacy, then we should protect it by default. To me, dumb is enabling a surveillance state by not using encryption. In fact, I call that evil.
These clothes will be easy to steal, because you can just wrap them up in a wad and they will block their own theft tag. And once you've stolen them, you can use them to steal other items, because they will block theft tags. Sounds awesome for theives and like total wankery for everyone else.
And if somebody steals your identity by taking out loans in your name, it's on the lender to prove that you were the one who actually took out the loan to begin with. It's inconvenient as hell granted because of all of the shit you have to go through to sort it out
And that's why you're wrong. It's on YOU to prove that the loan is fraudulent. My identity was stolen by an illegal mexican who "bought" a car. Now that's on my record until I go to court and prove that it wasn't me.
The terrorists will take it that way, yes.
Sony should release, even in a limited way. Online would be great.
All they've done is taught attackers that they can force our media around.
Really disappointed in everyone involved here. Especially the cinemas. At least Sony *was* going to follow through.
Those wetlands keep the rain from flowing straight out into the ocean; part of the reason we're in this mess now is that we've spent the last 100 years plowing them into the ground and pouring concrete over them (see: LA river).
The general tendency to cover the ground with concrete is more than half of the problem of LA, they receive more than enough rainfall every year to cover 100% of their needs but more than 99% of it runs off because that's what they designed the city to do. It's not just wetlands, it's all the lands.
when the eco-freaks decided that since California is earthquake country (true enough, but not near Auburn) that we shouldn't build any dams.
There is no part of California which is not earthquake country. Some places have longer periods than others.
I'd say CUVs are a fad. They're for people who need a minivan but feel emasculated by not owning some ludicrous SUV.
Minivans are what happens when you take a car and stretch it into another vehicle. CUVs are what happens when you purpose-build a vehicle to do a job.
What's not to like?
Minivans get crap mileage and have crap handling.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
