No other iteration came close to offering as much in a single release, and probably never will again.
Because it at least mostly makes it feel like 60 fps. I'll admit that it does add some weird artifacts every now and then. But I just can't play at 30 fps.
Same here. I used my unlocked iPhone SE on T-Mobile for 18 months, then joined my gf's Verizon plan. All that was needed was a Sim pop. Not even a reboot.
I'll say that for visual voicemail to work again, Verizon had do something. Didn't need to hook it up to a PC , though.
Boston has the same issue with I-95 not going through, thanks to NIMBYs.
(At the very least, it should follow the I-93 alignment, instead of looping all the way around - that's that 3-digit interstates are for.
That's probably because you assumed that I-95 followed the entire length of the NJ Turnpike - which pretty much everyone has assumed all along. But no, I-95 runs down the Turnpike from NYC and then mysteriously stops being signed as such around Exit 9, even though there was no applicable interchange involved. Then the NJ Turnpike ends at the bridge into Delaware, where it meets up with the stub of I-95 that goes through Philadelphia and also mysteriously starts being signed as I-295 after crossing into NJ.
Anyone going from NYC to DC would be going out of their way to turn off onto this new alignment (using the existing PA Turnpike and using a new interchange to connect to the stub) and add another city (Philadelphia) to drive through. PA is not even a coastal state, so there's no logical reason for I-95 to run through it in the first place - other than politics.
I have held off on buying an Ultra Blu-Ray player because it seems to be nearly impossible to rent them. I have no interest in buying movies in 4K that I will likely only play once or twice.
Is the only one that relies upon NOT serving its customers.
What if it's an actual statistic that Black people are in more car accidents - by this logic, wouldn't it be ok for insurers to charge them more for insurance?
I bought an LG 4K Blu-Ray player for $100 a few weeks ago at Best Buy. Didn't have any smart features like Netflix or Youtube but my Sony Android TV handles that, anyway.
Really? I have had FIOS for 5 years and never noticed pixelation....I thought the whole plus with having fiber to the home was that there was enough bandwidth to send the streams with little or no compression.
Replying to myself, but speaking of Walken, everyone knows the "cowbell" sketch, which heavily features Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper". I guess NBC felt that that skit was classic enough to keep paying the royalties on that song.
So THAT's the reason! I've been looking at SNL's archive on Netflix and sat there perplexed about certain classic sketches not being included - one of my favorite Christopher Walken sketches is "Stalk Talk" - but for some reason it wasn't on the Best of Walken DVD and stricken from Netflix. It starts off with a portion of The Police's "Every Move You Make".
Thank God I still have a crappy rip of it from one of my old VHS tapes from when it first aired. Otherwise I'd have to question whether or not it ever truly existed!
No, you are suggesting that I sell my house at lower than market value. If I want to sell my house at $300k and 3 White families make me
Blah blah blah. We get it. You don't want to sell your house to a black person.
Er, no - I don't want to sell my house to somebody that is not willing or able to pay the highest offer I get for my house. What is wrong with that? If the family that offers the highest bid happens to be Black, I have no problem at all selling it to them. The race of the highest bidder should not matter at all, right?
No, it is NOT my problem
Yes, it is. You may not want it to be. You may not like it. But it's your problem. Whining about your ancestors just makes you a whiny bitch who has no idea how lucky you are.
You live in a society that discriminates in your favor. Just because that's agreeable to you doesn't make it any less of a problem to those who are victims of that system. What's worse though is that you fail to recognize that the longer you bury your head in the sand and pretend it's not, the more it's your problem.
I must have missed the part where you added that the "victims" of that system must take on some of the responsibility of fixing things as well.
If you're saying that you've never been to the ghetto.
I lived in a neighborhood that became a ghetto. I know of which I speak.
Besides, sorry, I'm not going to put myself in harm's way just so I can contribute to a community that doesn't give a shit about me.
No, you're not forced to do anything. You have two choices: you can sell to a black family at a fair market value, or you can wait it out for other homes to be sold so you can sell your home at a higher price to a richer white person.
No, you are suggesting that I sell my house at lower than market value. If I want to sell my house at $300k and 3 White families make me an offer for that price, then the fair market price is $300k. If only one Black family came along and made an offer at $200k after that, that doesn't suddenly make the fair market value $200k. In this scenario, I want to sell my house within 6 months for $300k. You are saying that I should not be allowed to do that if no Black families can meet that criteria. How is that not "forcing"??
It's your choice ultimately. If you don't like the choice, tough.
Or, I can vote Republican to reduce the chances of totalitarian policies such as what you are suggesting affecting how I sell my house or where I live. If you don't like that choice, tough.
(Mind you, there are many things Republicans do to piss me off, particularly the Religious Right - but I realize that crap like that is less likely to effect how I live my life in the end.)
Those are the breaks of propping up, either pro-actively or through inaction, an unofficial apartheid system which, regretfully, exists in many places in the US.
Oh please....we can go all day on that never-ending spiral. At this point it's not solely the fault of "Big Bad Whitey" that the situation is what it is today.
I don't see your point. Are you trying to imply that that's somehow my problem if they can't?
Yes, it is your problem. Why would you think it isn't?
Because my ancestors came to the US in the late 20's and lived in the NYC area. In fact, they were discriminated against back then, themselves. They never owned slaves or did anything to oppress Black people. No, it is NOT my problem.
"after a few decades of blacks and whites, you know, actually living together and treating each other as equals"
Careful. Under what you were proposing under previous posts, you'd end up with the whites resenting the blacks for forcing them to sell homes below what they are worth, or forcing them to not be able to sell their home until one of "them" came along. You're not going to end up with the civil society you are hoping for that way.
"No. You can always not sell your home until you get the price you want"
So, lets say I have my house on the market for 6 months, and in the time only 3 families come and offer the price I want. But they all happen to be White. Are you suggesting that I should be forced to keep my house on the market even longer until a family of a race that you approve of comes along?
"And BTW, did it occur to you that if black people can't afford your prices, there might be a reason for that?"
I don't see your point. Are you trying to imply that that's somehow my problem if they can't?
"...but the number of racist assholes posting to this thread makes me think it's time to require that people selling homes in neighbourhoods with a very high proportion of white people (say, more than 95%) be required to sell only to members of ethnic minorities."
Ummm....so you are advocating forcing White people to sell houses for less than they are worth? There are already laws prohibiting people selling homes based on race. So if a White neighborhood is "too white" for your tastes, then it's most likely because not enough Black people looking to buy in the area can afford the asking price.

....because there are still new games being released that only support 30 fps, which boggles my mind. So I use smoothing to simulate 60 fps.
That also does not work properly under Linux. I have the first version which works pretty much perfectly on ChromeOS.

Norm MacDonald jokes that people hated Hillary Clinton so much that they elected someone that they hated even more instead,
Which is stupid since all of the signs in North Jersey give Trenton as its control city.
The dual-dual configuration runs all the way to the PA Turnpike Exit now (construction completed around 2013), which I-95 will now use.
Boston has the same issue with I-95 not going through, thanks to NIMBYs. (At the very least, it should follow the I-93 alignment, instead of looping all the way around - that's that 3-digit interstates are for.
It's basically continuous city from West Palm Beach to Miami, for 70 miles.
Which it did already via The NJ Turnpike or I-295 all along.
That's probably because you assumed that I-95 followed the entire length of the NJ Turnpike - which pretty much everyone has assumed all along.
