Comment AMC will lose revenue.. (Score 1) 285

This move will cost AMC in the long run when theaters re-open, especially if other companies follow suit and release VOD over theater. This is AMC's retaliation to Universal exposing just how much profit film companies can make without a theater, and this brings up concerns for their business model now.We could see a trend where movie theaters become a thing of the past just like the drive-in theater.

I learned how to do software development on my own the old school way, and I never need to take formal classes to be a software developer. Anyone willing to learn the requirements for programming as a whole can do so if they have the ability to learn how. That's the real challenge.

The real issue with elected officials is they take queues from lobbyist whether we like it or not. I've been down that road before, and they are heavily committed to following lobbyist climate over people to maintain that financial edge. Electing better people would be a more appropriate start though while can fix many things.. well.. we know what we can't fix.

Here's a random theory.. what if said molecules were simply the end product of a reaction from their other half tied in from quantum entanglement where said molecules on the other end were simply destroy/changed?

Without more sources for testing it's just a theory to consider.

There will always be a media player that can house and play files. Plex isn't the only one. You have Emby, XBMC, Kodi, and several others that will allow others to play ripped media. Blaming Plex is merely a ploy to showcase an "attempt" instead of making a real effort to stop piracy. This is just another way for those to look for "easy" things to do rather than tackle tough problems.

It won't make to the appellate court. A federal judge will strike this down as it is an attempt to abuse the 1st Amendment without viable and adequate reasoning that the right changes YouTube made infringes on freedom of speech. People really have no common understanding as to what the 1st Amendment was truly written for and tend to try to tug on it like a security blanket in hopes that it will sway in their purview.

Consoles are far better than PCs for gaming. Gaming, you are fiddling with RAM, CPUs, compatibility of motherboards, Windows versions, cooling, malware, while a console, you just plug and play.

This statement is purely a personal truth. While yes it takes experience with computer hardware to manage and upgrade to play the latest games, PC's by hardware comparison are far more superior.

If you're talking about ease-of-use then yes, consoles win hands down. As for better? That's a matter of opinion and not fact. Not everyone has an issue with managing computer hardware and software as you've stated.
