GNOME is entirely adequate for my professional needs, which is... entirely adequate.

;-)

They do!

See their Era, Mood, Ridge, Terra cases.

Obviously it was excessive

That's the only bit that matters.

Hmm. Yeah. That is exactly what would happen.

Though the possible advantage of that is the bargaining power of the cinemas increases compared to the distributors... as if cinemas should have some form of union ;-)

If enough of them die, then that particular market will need to correct. The movie industry needs consumers.

Or, to put it another way, the current business models need to die, so they can be replaced with better models.

Standalone cinemas are still the norm in NZ.

The odd one is part of a larger entertainment complex.

That sounds like the invisible hand of the market weeding out failing competitors.

Cinemas made all their money on tickets before TV.

Then TV came along, then ridiculously predatory movie distribution contracts, then the Internet.

Their response? Apparently. Using the police to enforce their terms of service regarding food sales.

What's next; calling the police when you don't watch the advertisements?

Cinemas: our business model sucks so much we have to sell overpriced food!

So? Just die already. Bye.

First one then t' other.

But the OS crashing as a result of that systemic failure may actually be the most reasonable desirable outcome compared to any other possible outcome.

In which case this should've been documented behaviour and probably configurable.

Hmmmm.

More like standing there and loudly shitting your pants and spreading it around the stage.
