Trolly McTrollson IS part of the problem whithout EVER providing solutions as Mike does day after day. If he/she/it were in a corporate envrionment he/she/it would have been fired long ago. He/she/it is that asshole at work that denies all others input, but never supplies anything useful to the team, thus no respect is ever granted. (But they cry to you in private - "Why doesnt anyone like me whaa whaa whaa.")I was asked that once and one of my character flaws is brutal honesty when asked for input. So I tell you, you have a lousy work ethic, are lazy, and are not open to any suggestions provided by the team. Do as I say and not as I do is not acceptable. Thats why. He never asked again.
So Trollie, unless you have something useful to provide this "team" or suggestions for buisness models that take into account all parties involved and try to address both sides concerns; just shut the fuck up.
appears? I love that word. I use it frequently when I have no idea what a user's problem is. It appears to be(insert some bullshit line that sounds good, but has no basis in reality.) Our id10t's behind the keyboard buy it every time. Only because they dont know any better.
Yeah you car analogy fails as well. In the late 80's we put a 67 New Yorker's 440, and a 73 BB 727 in to an 81 Firebird, w/a dana 4.11 rear and plastered Dodge emblems on it. No one was doing this kind swap and while you may be right that we could not claim the original designs as our own, the transormation of a wimpy six cylinder grocery getter in to a unibody twisting asphalt churning ground pounder was all our own.
The whole automotive aftermarket builds on the design of others and often improves the original designs in the first place.
Case in point:
99 crown Vic, plastic intake manifold, known for cracking in the crossover. 430 from Ford, and they will sell you the SAME EXACT FLAWED PART. Dorman was smart enough to realize this flaw and corrected it. They sell it for 230.95. http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/RNB-615-178.jpg
So here is a great thought experiment:
What if trademark/copyright as it is today, was applied to the automotive after market beginning in the late 60's?
No Edelbrock, Hotchkiss, Moroso... and on and on and on.
Simple brake pads would require a small loan.
So before you go blasting others for mashups, remixes, and just plain doing it your way, you need to realize the impact limiting this kind of activity will have in the future.
Use "ifconfig" to get your IP address
I think he meant ipconfig, but most users connect behind a router of some sort and will need to use https://www.whatismyip.com/ (or similar) to show their outside ip, then configure their router to forward the port selected to the internal ip they are actually at.
Not for the average bear. For the above average bear on Windows there is always IIS.
"firestorm" Really? You do realize, and I do believe you are doing it on purpose, language like that is what gets you attacked. What? The firestorm of cash that flew in to their pockets from the VCR? Then DVD sales, and when finally embraced, e-distrubtion will bring. OK AC(patting head lovingly)
When you pay your $107 a month (foolishly)- I do not have premium channels by choice. In order to get all the kids channels, they break them up, and get this, PBS is tiered. Under Concast it was 130. When my 3.5 year old wants to watch Olivia, Peppa Pig, Wonder Pets, or Team Umizoomi, 107 becomes reasonable. If not for her, I would have cut the cord long ago.
Rabbit ears? You do know they dont work anymore right? Jus sayin.
Im happy with the content DirectTV (no affiliation) provides.
Statements like
"The VCR itself didn't lead to massive infringement"
Just fly in the face of logic, and I believe couldnt have been made honestly. Also statements like:
because there is clearly harm done - Really? I could not find anything to back up this statement.
Even after users point out we pay for cable, he/she still insists we are getting something for free.

So just because he is "well spoken" or "civil" does not mean he is not just trolling, and should not be called out.
"The VCR itself didn't lead to massive infringement"
Never been to NY 10-15 years ago huh?
Dont remember all the pie-rated videos on the street vendors tables huh?
"commercial programming is paid for"
OHHHHHHH NOOOOOOO!!!! So I only see 4990 commercials instead of the 5000 or so. Ouch what are they gonna do? I skipped 5-10 commericials. Gouge out my eyes and throw me in jail.
"skip ahead 30 seconds" button. This has a very great impact"
Because VCR's didnt have fast forward buttons. What a tool.
