Explain this to my wife please... "I saved so much money today!" Plunks down several bags of crap that will end up being thrown away eventually...

But it can just stop playing... I have a handful of discs, still in cases, look pristine, no scratches, and yet can't be read by either my computer or DVD player. No recourse. It's a separate problem of course, but similar.

It's only hyperbole until it isn't.

Guns don't kill people... I do.

Not with appropriate softwarre...

If you need subtitles, add SubtitleEdit to the mix... Will read the mkv, does ocr from graphical overlay to text, which Plex can handle as a separate file.

I think when someone casually says DVD they're including Blu-ray, like if you say Kleenex, you might be talking about Puffs or Scott or something else...

The house always wins.

We all are, hiding it doesn't help.

That's a lot harder to not do. Much easier to not run for president.

40 hour work week

Hell with that, make it more like 20...

even if they're doing it for their own self-interest, they're still doing a good thing

Are they? Teenagers attracted to teenagers is wrong now?

I've been thinking this for years, but never been able to put it into words to convey the idea to someone else... emergent properties is a start...

The biggest problem with breaking windows is nobody really knows how to fix anything, it's just a shit load of random "did you try this?" Until you either find it's working again (after trying something that didn't work, then backing out that change, or it just randomly starts working again without really doing anything) or you learn to live with it.

With Linux, if you can break it, you can be pretty sure someone somewhere has broken it the same way before, and analyzed the shit out of it including reading the source, and figured out how to fix it.

No, it's because your answer is overly simplistic. We don't build one lane roads, we tend to build 3 or 4 in each direction, at least in cities.

Also, leave a road alone, it does not just sit there. In cold climates you get frost heaves, in hot climates asphalt is never truly "solid" so it gets ruts... water causes damage, plants grow through it...

Add in some of the other responses and we have a more complete picture. I'm not convinced. At best it might be a wash.

edit just realized you're not the same person, sorry. My point still stands though.

I have Linux running on a 10 year old machine with 5400 rpm drives, and it does just fine streaming video to multiple TVs at once.. Helps that there are 5 of them configured as raid-5...

Underrated comment...

Yeah, but is it legal after the 63rd trimester?

You say /jk, but it's true...
