      It's so weird seeing a 18 year old West Wing guy wearing a suit made for an adult while he debuts the only character he will ever play in his career

        hey he also starred in some kid porn!

        In 1988, Lowe, who was 24 years old at the time, was involved in a sex scandal over a videotape of him having sex with two women: Tara Siebert who was 22 and her younger friend Lena Jan Parsons who was 16 years old at the time.

        while campaigning for Dukakis the night before the DNC no less:

        They were videotaped the night before the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. [...] At the time, Lowe was campaigning for Michael Dukakis.

    TIHI.

    Wonder if Hershey and Mars will get into a bidding war over Mars replacing the Reese's Pieces in ET with M&Ms.

      Some warez groups take the precaution of using two copies of the video obtained from separate accounts/connections to make sure their sources aren't detectable via watermarks (like compromised hardware SKU for decrypting the high res streams). Some don't though, or just use compromised accounts for the service which don't tie back to them.

      Depending on how much effort people invest, these copies on torrent sites will likely have some random users' product placement unless they bother doing the diff on two copies to remove the product placement. Might get weird if the different product placement affects the total number of frames in the video stream and stuff like that... I assume they'll just be pre-rendered (automated to a large extent) segments sitting on the CDN that get compiled into the M3U playlist of chunks sent to the client based on their ad profile when they initiate the stream. I'm surprised this wasn't done like 8 years ago, nothing's fundamentally changed technologically.

    The sentiment is correct in this case but it's always a pet peeve of mine when article headlines tell you how you should feel about something
