I got curious. This showing is in about 90 minutes, in one of the reddest counties in the country.

There is another show tonight that has about 10 tickets sold.

Well I've seen enough to know it's not even worth a hate watch:

Security is a privilege, not a mandate. Nixon dropped his in 1985.

Becoming a fugitive from justice would count as voluntarily giving up lots of privileges, the very least of which would be a publicly funded security detail.

Unhinged entry level employee screaming and swearing and threatening the CFO and spit in her coffee mug.

An email went out to the whole company telling us not to let him in the building before he even got back to his desk to be fired. This is a software company, not exactly the type of place that has armed guards, but the (ex-military) information security dude set up in the area packing for a few weeks after that.

  • Re-printing the original on disc, but including a rootkit.
  • Compiling a list of original version owners and leaving their personal details in plaintext on the web until they upgrade.
  • Downgrading the original to 480p, telling users the original graphics were just a bug, and selling the higher-res upgrade.
