Yep, s1e1 is the way. My Babylon 5 is on disks and Amazon Prime.
Amazon search is crazy; the list of formats need work.
The biggest problem will be when streaming service tells you your Smart TV or Roku will not support, for example, Netflix feature or DRM. My LEDHD Samsung is probably safe because I insist no built-in apps like Netflix and TV does not connect to WiFi.
There is Amazon TV stick so I figure one day the words, Cannot Update This Device & Apps installed -- Msg: Error loading (App Name). Already Xfinity Stream detects the transport and refuses to mirror display on Kindle Fire HD.
There is nothing consumer can do. Buy suggested model or do without. Sounds like iDUDs replacement.
I have Comcast Cable TV and Gigabits internet. Netflix and Amazon Prime and thanks to AT&T I subscribe to Cinemax on Amazon (best monthly price); The disassembly of product lines will make everyone mad -- Cinemax is loved by writers and directors because suits understood the process of creating high quality series. Buy Banshee DVD/Blu-ray as insurance.
Theater experience must offer more than home viewing, a night out that is not plagued by the felling to run to nearest exit. Alamo is getting high marks in this thread, I have yet to go there.
I did go to a similar theater in Williamsburg, Virginia. I grew up in the crazy mix of Great History, Tourist Trap Hell, and now (redacted) Theme Park. W&M College plus Atlantic Feet annexes. The 10 screen movie-house is 40 minutes out -- nope too painful. So, movie & dinner place 5 minutes out.
To wrap up this context matters. What was I expecting never happened -- Tourist Trap Hell invented more ways to annoy me. Wait staff normal college kids doing well in some kind of Restaurant/Dinner Theater lack of training and management lacking. A waiter walked across wife's line of sight, blocking screen. I heard much about this theater was on her never again list. (shrug) I noticed movie review team (group of 4) from somewhere yammering bit too loud. I forget the movie's name.
There are more ways to mess up than get it right.The absolute best way to see certain type of movie is the imax Theater in Air & Space Center by Washington DC Dulles International Airport. The latest equipment and curved screen to reduce vision problems. 3D so good that the one action gag I saw blended in - Wonder Woman when watched on Blu-ray at home was still fun but 3D done right stays in the head.
The Alamo may be doing it right. I morn the loss of Drive-In Theaters. They were part of a community. Real Estate $$ call the bulldozer.
One reason Netflix can offer to not let episode on Saudi servers is the government is asking for REGION BLOCK on that episode - no last mile.
Show your hands if you got out-of-the-blue (Excluding Sports) "content blocked in your region". Me? All-Fking-Time! Most abusive at content blocking (Excluding Sports); kings and dictator and religion.
Netflix PR suits must have heebie-jeebies to add Gay assurance to the announcement. Content distribution try to avoid "book burners" but the Pope may call, never know. /I"m messing with religion here.
If anyone thinks religion is not government then [not-my-problem-U-figure-it]
I went backwards and there is just enough information to read.
The ever so humble DOJ need lots of foreign agencies on board.
The ability to cooperate in this while children ....
I will speculate that every country got what it needed to fight their local sites or citizens using such sites.
The link to the bitcoin tool lists countries. No mater what I think Tim has it right, however, when there are many agencies involved in taking down adults from everywhere that is impossible. This site probably had pointers to big number of small sites.
And each country gets to go on TV and say I got the monster.
Remember this the next time Lawmakers or DOJ or Whatever says it needs to weaken security or BuzzWordOfTheDay to find/catch/arrest child porn sites.
Please note : 2015 to 2018 is how long the site was allowed to operate in order to collect all the data possible.
Personal Point: My dead spook father could handle this. He loved East Berlin and all that insanity but it was part of his job too.
Living day2day with this makes post war Berlin a Disney theme park. There is no way to fix the adult users except 9mm bad dog method. Glad that is not my problem.
The point of having Saudi Kingdom agent, that is what the twitter hires are in this case, orders from Saudi Arabia are specific. No terrorists. Kingdom wants critics location -- critic gone. Its own citizens have no protection from the Crown.
The Saudi Kingdom sets up hundreds of troll sites and pays people not bots to search for [critic of Crown]. 1000+ humans (okay bunches of well financed and skilled Troll Farms) looking for a location, etc.
From NYT article:
"Twitter has had difficulty combating the trolls. The company can detect and disable the machine-like behaviors of bot accounts, but it has a harder time picking up on the humans tweeting on behalf of the Saudi government."
1.1. Select some to go inside Twitter.
From NYT article:
"The specialists found the jobs through Twitter itself, responding to ads that said only that an employer sought young men willing to tweet for about 10,000 Saudi riyals a month, equivalent to about $3,000.
The political nature of the work was revealed only after they were interviewed and expressed interest in the job. According to the people The Times interviewed, some of the specialists felt they would have been targeted as possible dissenters themselves if they had turned down the job."
1.2 The world: All governments watch other governments. I think the nature of Saudi's stopping critics at any cost is hard for some to believe but the scale of Saudi's ability to use Twitter without much noise reaching top management is proof.
1.3 Twitter was notified by Western intelligence officials. The rest is in TD article.
My 2-cents:
Getting your agent into the source of information is most effective. One shot if lucky is worth the money spent. Ask the dead journalist.
End to End encryption and better internal controls could have slowed Saudi attempt or flagged access before damage was done to critics.
Anyone think this operation by Saudi Kingdom: Use Twitter 2015 to 2019 to locate critics is just a fluke?
I'm still trying to figure out how quiet those years where -- oh, 2016 election and Russia and Ukraine. Wow, Saudi Arabia.
Sounds like a plan. Was thinking of using OpenDNS. Here is the but -- Cisco is rebranding OpenDNS products into "new" products; I have lower confidence.
1) Tonight I had time to catch up on news.
2) Tonight I had time to post.
3) I am wishing for thread level flag. That wish is not a request because that kind of flag is not going to solve anything in troll'ish posts. My one time free bitchy comment for trolls to snack on.
I did not know Xfinity mobile was that messed up. I rarely watch video streams on mobile (T-mobile) but watch plenty on a Kindle.
Since I have a wifi connection that states 780mb/s on last mobile check I cannot picture DSL speed. The only time I have noticed bad looking stream on Kindle was in mirror to big screen TV SD movie; TV has no reason to upscale DRM video. The SD movie looked fine on Kindle.
The extra price for HD on mobile and tablets is plainly a money grab.
I did not understand this "suspicious brown person" report these apps get until neighbor called me saying a car was in my driveway and driver was black. After saying so fk'ing what and hanging up I fetched grocery delivery.
This "block" was all upper income jewish. Now it is a bit of every racial group on the planet. I'm the suspicious and crazy white guy even to caller's mom.
People tend to be clannish. These apps know how to exploit that.
The reason I don't have a camera that requires upload to "cloud" or any device waiting for me talk is summed up here. If I need security I'll set up a closed system. Hell, one motion detect flood light causes folks to walk away at night.
I have some supper nosey neighbors and they will flood coppers with everything going on. Very cool huh?
Well, here I am at the end of another comment section. The only thing nobody said a word about is how well the current president understands advertising.

I read it. My fast read is not as well developed as a judge but I did not see obvious statement "He is a journalist", I saw "hack sells", "makes money off stolen information".
All I can say is the cops want you, they will get you and fk'all who you are.
The $11m paid to Elsevier, which I call an operating expense should be used to lower tuition cost. Research is already paid by grants.
I'm not going to say I know how this works but it is a sorry state of publishing when one issue of a journal costs more money than most people make in a month. One paper in said journal costs $400 if I want PDF. Note: This is based on a few lookups I have done when the abstract was useless.
I have TVs in the TV room that only power down for HDMI device mount/unmount.
Even the big ass glass crt TVs were seldom off - Iron transformers too.
These days switching power supplies are aways on even if TV off button is pushed. Stack of DVD/VCR and DVD and Blu-ray boxes have auto off. Laser friendly.
