Why, isn’t important in law.
The allowance, right or wrong, is allowance.
You again ignore the whole and focus solely on small pockets to paint the entirety.
I see no difference in that and the Right wing painting the whole of BLM.
Tell that to the fans of HD-DVD that outsold BD 3:1 in the beginning. Or every major studio stating on record it was things like mandated AAC for logo use that caused their choice.
Spec for spec HD-DVD was superior.
Whatever your personal opinions on inferior and superior…
Vinyl still holds strong.
Minority? Sure
But strong and stable at Apx 10%
And there’s a reason VHS is still being sold in 2022.
Honestly
I’d love to see you attempt to prove, not DVD, but BluRay, is better than Digital VHS at 1080P.
Not some off the wall general consumer link, actually show some proof from yourself or a high-end AV source. I’ll be here!
FYI, CNN uses BetaHD cameras.
So does FoxNews.
BBC uses DV10
Those are tape formats, if you didn’t realise.
You may not like my title choices but I’ll put a vhs vs dvd title, shot for shot, nearly every year from 1999-2022 and let you figure out which is which.
SVHS players are still manufactured today by independent and small companies, despite the main CE companies moving on. And the tech today is fairly equal with ideal setups.
VHS was killed because the drm was defeated within a year.
By any low end player.
Re: Re: Re: An advantage of "analog" books over "digital" e-book
Huh? All I said was that the idea of a book cover has been replaced with the so-called social media premise of sparking conversation?
As for my feeds, I don’t have any.
I have been forced to follow two services, I do mean FORCED, on social media because they no longer publish updates in proper email or RSS updates.
Wtf that has to do with talking “… about things that you don't want them to talk about” is far beyond any rational comprehension.
the biggest, and primary, complaint I have with ebook tech is the stupidity of news publishers.
Some companies got it right, eg WSJ, breitbart, NYT, USAToday.
Other fail, beyond failure. Random images in a wall of text.
The reliance on proprietary software for publishing is notable with every failure.
Adobe makes great magazines. It makes shite ebooks. Text mode? Image mode? FUMode!
Seriously. Who, really, goes to the kindle or apple library and downloads a magazine expecting 140 pages of static images. Some text available, some articles only as images?!!!!!?!??!
Bad ocr run on pdf output of page images.
The ebook system needs to stop adding “more features” and figure out how to format text.
Doesn’t work for any opposing of the protest since they were allowed into the capital building by police.
There was more than one group. That violent mob of a dozen or so in the hallway? Entirely separate from the large and peaceful group in the main foyer.
Much how the looters and arsonists were separate from the BLM protestors.
…there was no reason to burst into the capitol building
And again, those that broke windows and climbed in and stormed through the hallways, were a tiny few. Who should be punished for their actions.
Those that were allowed in through the doors, those that held discussions with police and then announced rules. Those that left when told to do so. Are not anything more than peaceful protestors.
You have much in common with Tucker and Hannity, in your stance. You show you are incapable of separating the peaceful majority — from the tiny group of organised criminals.
Recognition of their belief in flawed election processes?
A pause and recount? The law is clear on that possibility. The VP as president of the senate can send results back to the states for a recount.
I give the same response to the BLM and Capital protests. Punish those who broke the law. The rest, peaceful assembly. It’s a constitutional right.
Unlike FoxHeads I won’t pretend the capital didn’t have violence.
And unlike progressives I won’t pretend the BLM protests didn’t have violence.
Calling for, or demanding, the initiation of a process codified into law is not insurrection.
Had Pence sent the results back to the states to rectify Biden would have still won. And we wouldn’t be discussing it in every other comment today.
Because here’s the reality. The vast vast majority there were there to say ‘we don’t like the results and we don’t trust them’.
How many have been hit with and tried on, any form of insurrection. And found guilty?
Out of the total crowd.
Nowhere does the article state the race of the victim. Nor their wealth.
That you claim to know either …
I will always defend the right for peaceful protest.
And maintain that as a whole there was no organised insurrection. A handful of people may or may not have intended on more than the petty criminality of the whole. Or that the only crime committed by any majority was trespassing. A crime commonly ignores in the press if the protestors are protesting something you agree with.
I always have and always will defend the word of the law. And said nothing in support of the police or your unsubstantiated notions of my comment.
Which to someone willing to read and not fall into wild fantasy clearly stated that the man on the couch had the right to shoot, even with deadly force, the people invading his local.
It was a rhetorical musing. He well may have still died. The number of shooting officers is unknown.
Since the link to the posted evidence is behind a paywall I don’t know how many cops were there.
But a single shot from him would have put cops scattering for cover. A long enough delay to figure out it was cops. Toss out the weapon, and surrender. Ideally, alive.
He’d be cleared by a jury.
In theory… yes.
But that ignores realities of most people with firearms (especially hand guns) have no idea how to properly target and aim, let alone make a stopping shot around body shielding.
And that ignores the he point I made that the police shouldn’t be armed with lethal only weapons and shouldn’t be trained to dump a clip into a suspect.
VHS died because of the digital push first to VCD, mostly in Asia, then DVD.
Had they not been so quick to kill off the “more copyable” analogue formats … who knows what we would be doing today. SVHS and then VHD-HR both were drastic steps up from the base format.
But the push to DRM capable digital, including DVHS (aka Dtheater) is what ultimately created clean digital copies.
Just like CD killed of gritty garbage 12th gen copies of copies.
With analogue you still had baked in degradation.
Replacements were necessary.
I wonder how much of ebooks was controlling distribution vs moving forward.
The more advanced something gets the higher the quality of the base stripped to its parts.
I’m not sure about books. But vinyl record sales have been consistent since the iTunes Store opened. Jumping to 12% that first year and holding 7%-14% of music sales since then. It was CDs that dropped off with digital services.
As I constantly point out, VHS films are still sold today. Not used—brand new releases. Niche or not.
They aren’t wrong…per se.
Though 8-track had little effect, compact cassette did cannibalise vinyl. And cd destroying tape.
What’s funny is DVD didn’t ever really hurt VHS sales. Films on both services sold near even. So if you wish to bitch about format death the lack of vhs from manufacturers is what made streaming possible in the first place. Since everything was already there as 1s and 0s!
Books aren’t going anywhere as long as people are self conscious. You can’t fill a shelf in the den with digital books.
So many issues to deal with in this one tiny incident.
first and foremost I hold castle doctrine sacred.
Enter without permission and get shot.
This man is not dead because the cops shot him. He’s dead because hesitated.
Second: cops should be using less lethal force. Look at what really was three precision shots given the circumstances. Now had those been beanbag rounds or electric darts, etc, he’d be alive.
Third: no knock never works out. 40+ years of cops on film. Cops, Police Eye, Dash, SWAT on Scene, …
Over and over. Wrong guy. Wrong house. Not there. Too early. Too late.
Forth, and finally, police absolutely should shoot first. With that right they should again be using less lethal options in doing so.
I have Kart showing as #11.

Nintendo is in a unique position. Despite being a hardware company the are entirely beholden to ip.
