<p>And time.  I have archived some of my collection, but it does take a lot of time to rip the disks, test that they worked correctly.  Then years later find out you did something wrong and there is no sound anymore, or you just got stereo and the surround mix is broken.<p>Streaming is so easy, don't need to find a disk. Load it, watch all the ads and warnings.</p>

<p>On recent WestJet flights they announced that you can't use a power bank if there is seat power available,  all the flights had seat power except the smallest  plane (Dash 8) and that flight was only 18 minutes.  They also didn't want any batter powered devices in the overhead compartments.<p>On the 737s there were only two plugs per 3 seats so not everyone could be plugged in.</p>

<p>This does not appear to be support by SOAP or WCF.  From the SOAP specification:<p>"Bindings MAY provide for streaming when processing messages. That is, SOAP nodes MAY begin processing a received SOAP message as soon as the necessary information is available. SOAP processing is specified in terms of SOAP message infosets (see 5. SOAP Message Construct). Although streaming SOAP receivers will acquire such XML infosets incrementally, SOAP processing MUST yield results identical to those that would have been achieved if the entire SOAP envelope were available prior to the start of processing. For example, as provided in 2.6 Processing SOAP Messages, identification of targeted SOAP header blocks, and checking of all mustUnderstand attributes is to be done before successful processing can proceed. Depending on the representation used for the XML infoset, and the order in which it is transmitted, this rule might limit the degree to which streaming can be achieved."<p><a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/" rel="nofollow">https://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/</a><p>The critical note is the output for streamed, or buffered must the the same so it does not look like infinite streams can be supported.<p>I also played with your sample application to see if there was any indication of the connection dropping.<p>I had an interesting result switching to the NetTcp binding.  On the client it is unable to exit until the max size of the incoming message is hit.  The server continues running as there are no sent message quotas.</p>

<p>This worked for me as well. I just asked the eye doctor for something that would work just past my out stretched finger tips which is where my monitor lives.<p>What kills me is going into the office where I am switching between glasses.  Different rooms with different Zoom screens.  At home is much nicer where I just have one big monitor to watch.<p>I take my glasses off to read my phone most of the time.  Technically my primary glasses are progressives but it is nicer to take them off.</p>

Small non-functional yo-yo's balls with paddle. etc. Since you can't give food or candy for fear of nuts.<p>For things like LEGO they are mostly specific sets, so they get built and displayed like models by my kids.  Rarely to they build random stuff like I did when I was little,  with only a small amount of LEGO.</p>
