The fun in having a distribution automatically do the right thing is that you get to a working system faster, so that you can get to your other fun faster, whether you prefer casual, hardcore, or Dwarf Fortress.

In other words, it leaves them stuck with what happens to be playing at the moment, not a large back catalog of videos on demand.

Where does that leave rural customers who can't get cable, fiber, or even the higher tiers of DSL?

You can always download the 1080p version and transcode it to 720p. Transcoding while scaling down doesn't give quite as much generation loss.

Try unmaximizing your browser window and resizing it to half the width of your screen. There's a reason that Windows is plural (except for Window 8). If you let us know what desktop operating system you're using (and, in the case of X11/Linux, what window manager), I can give detailed instructions.

And if you're The Tetris Company, you go ahead and successfully sue that someone. Tetris v. Xio.

In other words, The Adventures of Pinocchio is more likely to become a true story than The Three Little Pigs.

Seriously? There are camps where people play Concentration all day?

That doesn't matter. The judge will have the melodies transposed to the same key before giving them to the jury.
