Exactly. I've never watched him in any form, but I do remember him from the BTS of the Hobbit, and some internet videos showcasing his knowledge. He's a real fan. That's really what LOTR needs.

If Peter Jackson is attached, I'd watch it.

....... uhh, we'll get back to you.

Are you inferring that since they let you use a mobile device that they think they're secure?

This is the same group of organizations that will allow you to withdraw cash if you know a four digit code that hasn't been changed in the account holder's entire lifetime. The same group of organizations that will allow you to ACH transfer funds from an account because you know the account number and routing number, which are both on every check they hand out.

BTW, none of the things in the previous paragraph are enough to secure a transfer of funds. Banks always have additional assurances. They cash checks because they don't really cash them, they put them in holding status until they get confirmation from the other side. They allow ACH transfers because they know exactly who is performing them and have a lot of legal leverage to recoup any lost funds. They allow fishy (to a certain extent) credit card transactions because they charge enough interest to eat the losses. They allow teller withdrawals because they have cameras and the FBI will actually go after those who commit fraud.

90% of bank security is invisible to the public. It annoys me when people say "We can do this, my bank does it and they consider it secure." You almost certainly aren't doing what your bank does from a larger perspective.

Not defending Milton at all, but it bends the constraints of credulity to say that he "tricked' his former friend into asking for money. If he was being confronted by Robb for his sexual sins, how did he manipulate the conversation into convincing Robb to ask for money to keep quiet? Just because he was poor? That is severe mental gymnastics.

That is an excellent point. Too many "warnings" is no warning at all.

I remember that original CmdrTaco post.... man I'm old.

Sounds just like Steam big picture mode

"But it's not OUR monoply, so it's bad"

That is it exactly. It has to reach a lower price point to overcome everyone's "traditional" reservations. A low enough price point will get the curious ones, and it will only snowball from there.

At least the AI actors won't complain about the heat

AmiMoJo is a frequent spewer of CCP and Russian propaganda. Just look at the most frequent contributors to /. and you'll see a bunch of them.

Very true. Been playing the Riven remake on an Oculus Rift and it's astoundingly beautiful. Playing on the Meta Quest was just sad in comparison. The headset Steamlink will make all the difference.

Chinese misinformation trolls are working overtime on this one

Well to be fair, he is a "Murdoch"

-- because a person has unfettered access to the digital content for an extended period of time.

Here's the problem. It isn't just a word, it's the fact that the seller wants the buyer to assume that the period is "forever". In many cases, the actual period can't even be determined at the time of sale. It would have to be changed to something like "You are purchasing the right to view this media item until we decide to stop paying royalties for it. Also, you need to keep paying a monthly fee, or you will then lose access to anything purchased through this service. We make no guarantees that this period will even be long enough for you to finish watching it, but it may end up being for your entire lifetime. We also make no guarantees that the membership fee will remain the same price, or even that membership will be available. Good luck!"

Once the proper words are filled in, it will be obvious that the consumer isn't even aware what they are paying for... and that is worthy of a class action suit.
