I am way more worried about the Trump and rising hate and people getting killed problem this country is having right now. I think this piracy might actually be a good thing, as it it telling the suits that people don't like to be controlled, and don't want to be nickled and dimed to death. The moment the suits think people will accept being controlled, they will put the clamps on, and on HARD, and tighten them until your appendages fall off. This is sort of how streets, prison or even the schoolyard works: If you appear weak, you will be "punked" (victimized) over and over and over again and it will never stop. If you are strong, you won't be messed with and suffer as much. The general public needs to make sure they don't get punked.

....but they know better not to contact our violent, religious crazed, heartless and fucked up world

For putting up that fence, plus $100,000 for every day the public was not able to access that beach. Though in an ideal world, this waste of skin would get a bullet to the head

I think because the brain is trained to filter out the snow that you usually see in an analog broadcast, because our own eyes give a snowy picture! (caused by "floaters" in the eyeballs among other things). This is most noticeable in a completely dark room. Digital break ups causes boxes and other jarring, unnatural artifacts to appear on screen and often causes the picture to freeze as well. Way harder for our brains to filter out.

At least the snow storm of the analog signal of yore was not nearly as scary as a modern compressed digital signal breaking up. Nightmare Fuel indeed!

I imagine seeing this would scare the bejeezus out of a toddler. Even as an adult, I feel unnerved when the signal breaks up and it looks like someone's face is being held under some weirdly textured cloth, and it's like they are struggling to break free. Skipped key frames (which causes this, if I am correct) in a video stream can lead to some very bizarre visual effects.

I found that a simple piece of wire shoved into the center connection of a coaxial jack usually worked, even with DTV. Ghetto, yes, but who goes around checking the back of people's television sets, and why would I care what they thought anyway. I haven't owned a TV set in years and I don't miss it as a Hulu subscription and Youtube is more than enough for me, and I would rather not spend most of my waking hours loading up on the moronic crap that is usually broadcast anyway. I have a good old fashioned radio just in case for really big emergencies

Next they might discover the special box where you can get music and news absolutely free and you don't have to subscribe to anything to use it! Some of these exotic devices can run off of a single "AAA" battery! The only downsides is that you can't change the playlist, and there are usually commercials, but I bet the millennials will crap their pants in amazement when they discover radio!

I love technology, I really do, but sometimes it makes me want to go back to using cassette tapes for music and actual physical books for reading so I don't have to deal with all the stupid ding dong crap they think they can push on me and seem to believe won't make me the least bit irritated. Silence is golden, too bad companies don't seem to realize that.

I imagine they were able to pull that one by sending their own, more powerful microwave signal to the remote broadcast tower that most TV stations used. The FM capture effect (analog TV video used a variant of AM with the audio being FM for normal broadcast, but I am sure the station to tower mw link was all FM), helped insure a complete takeover of the broadcast tower.

This song came out in 1978. I was about 2 years old at the time and I am 40 years old. I am surprised they did not find anything more contemporary than this,

You know what is even more obscene? Parents getting upset over this instead of bands of kids setting sleeping homeless men and women on fire for the thrill of it, something that happens in both the US and the UK

How about I make a one zillion dollar bill out of partialy used toilet paper and mail it to them??

gotta build warplanes whose specs read like something out of Star Trek: The Next Generation and cost trillions to build. Fuck the poor, we gotta go kill, kill and kill people all over the world. Oh, God and Jesus is with us

mine gives me awesome tongue kisses.....deep deep tongue kisses.....
