The only place feces are going to go is inside the bidets, much like a toilet. It's not going to be flying around the room and the jet of water isn't that powerfull.

Re:Why do pub TVs have a pint glass in the corner? on Wednesday April 22, 2015 @01:50PM (#9422148)
I can see this being the problem for most small pubs in the UK as well. The UK is full of small local pubs that work on very small margins.

The Sky package for pubs is a lot more than £700. £1200 to £1500 per month more like.

Not all pubs cant accept hundreds of people within there premises. And large crowds are only attracted for big games which are few and far between.
Re:Why do pub TVs have a pint glass in the corner? on Wednesday April 22, 2015 @11:09AM (#9420969)
I know many who do this and Sky activly try to pressure the publicans to purchase sky but can't do anything about it.

Yup, a publican went to court with Sky in the UK about this.

Interesting, a lot of pubs who can afford it simply get a satellite dish and a subscription to a foreign channel. Saves them thousands a month and they get all of the important matches. Although some commentary is in a foreign language.
Last time posted was almost a year ago, the information is still very much relevent and interesting.

It appears that Mobile Jazz is a company that caters to western audiences, most of the work they will be doing will be for western clients who wouldn't hire Thai workers. The workers just happen to be out of office when they do their jobs.

You can watch it for free, legally. They have released the film to the public.

considering in the uk the deaths caused by dangerous driving is 0.04% is it worth making everyone change to driverless cars? What happens if I want to drive my old reliable ford escort MK2? Do I not get to any more?

I believe from what I have read, that they have multiple servers that all mirror each other all around the world in run of the mill hosting. They also have load balancers that are in places more secure, all that will be taken down is the load balancers.

You don't even have to live in a developing country, some of the only ways to access one tv show is to pay a £15+ per month subscription to say Sky or Virgin so that you can access a small majority of tv shows when they air.

Canistream.it is a good example of all of the services you need to watch movies, and that's just movies not music.

Piracy will still be a large problem because it's either to expensive to access or you need lots of services to access all of the content, of course there are people who never pay for anything and will continue to do so even if easier to access and cheaper but I think they will be a small majority.

Surely you only need the pirates to find a way around it as they will be the ones who distribute the free copies.

DMCA is in no way pro web-host. You can send out mass takedown requests and some hosts will choose to remove the content without even contacting the host of said infringing content.
