Mayim Bialik's comments re: Harvey Weinstein didn't go over well, so she's responding to the backlash. -- (link) - Mop Oct 16, 13:50 2
- That sounds like a mistake. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 13:53

So this Krack WPA2 hack... don't you have to connect to a compromised router for this to work? - Mop Oct 16, 13:45 2
- My interpretation of it is that is has to be done via someone who's already connected to the network. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 13:49
- Any network can be compromised by someone close enough to see the network. So while unlikely, yes, someone could attack your home WiFi and sniff - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 13:48

- What number = lame? - Spawn Oct 16, 12:51 2
  - and then do the Stalone growlie thing from Judge Dread -- nm - decline Oct 16, 12:52 1
    - Exactly! -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 12:55

- Their legal department screwed up. The people you were talking to were just messengers - ty97 Oct 16, 12:38 1
  - Yup, all of this. -- nm - David Oct 16, 12:42

        I don't know, I never checked before, never even considered we had one. -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 16, 12:42 4
        
        Now I wish the flight through ORD was cheaper than DFW. Though that's the only reason. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 12:49 3

LIR: Vudu continues to be the place to view your movies after the Movies Anywhere integration -- (edited) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:09 17
- I don't believe #3 because Disney would not allow their movies to be shared. -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 12:15 16
  - Which is contradiction with what is posted at the bottom -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 12:16 13
    - I amended my statement. UV eligible MA purchases do carry through from garden -> MA -> Vudu -> UV shared - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:17 12
      - Could you try some different formatting or maybe use words? I'm having trouble following. -- nm - David Oct 16, 12:20 11
        
        Let me try: - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:27 10
        
        Okay, that sounds right. -- nm - David Oct 16, 12:30 1
        
        The conclusion then was that your best place to watch content is Vudu (because everything shares to it) and the best place to buy content is still UV - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:31
        
        thank you. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 12:29 7
        
        The final piece that is somewhat a given in this conversation is that non-UV movies (like Disney) do not share anywhere outside of your own services. - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:30 6
        
        But there is a strange workaround for this. - David Oct 16, 12:35 5
        
        oooo.....you should load me your catalog! -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 12:38 4
        
        That's why I was asking last night. - David Oct 16, 12:40 3

        Here's what would happen. -- (edited) - David Oct 16, 12:46 1
        
        ah...thanks But for now I'll pass I'm always buying codes every weekend -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 12:48
  - I have edited -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:16 1
    - Okay, that makes more sense -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 12:17
I'll have to double check my sensitivity tonight. It's 3 tops, but I think it's currently 2. -- nm* - Shaun Oct 16, 12:07
