    My roommate and I are paying for 100mbps connections and we get that with ease. We regularly have 2+ TV's streaming from our off site Pled server with people gaming with no problem. During the change over... Well... It was a month of random DCs and outages, but its stabled off pretty we recently. Might just be our area.

    Running servers on residential connections is a violation of almost every single TOS. Most SIPs force you to buy a business connection if you do that.

    Still sucking down the media narrative and believing what is told to you without actually researching? Oh how I wish I could live such a simple life.

    Has he stopped and thought about the fact that his two sites (Verge and Vox) may just be shit sites? Clickbait, manufactured outrage, and race/gender baiting doesn't sell as well as it used to guys.

    FWIW, everytime Ive called in the past two years, i get the call centers in GA and TN and they are always extremely helpful amd friendly. Their store staff is total shit though... At least at my local store. Then again, there is no English signage in the store.

    I wouldn't expect to see half. I would expect to see woman/minority numbers in proportion to the percentage of woman/minority workers in the field.

  8. Men are more likely to negotiate salary. The average amount that they get paid more is 7%. I think we can conclude the issue is lack of salary negotiations.

    What bothers me are the people calling for views they don't like to be silenced. That's the standard MRA/anti-feminist position. Permanently offended, and those saying offensive things should be silenced because it creates negative consequences for some people.

    How odd. That is the standard "Third/Fourth" wave feminist/SJW position as well. Its almost like Horseshoe theory is a real thing.

    If you don't like it, just scroll on. No need to comment, or read other comments.

    Man, I've been telling people that if they don't like shit like this, they should just move on and get over it. No need to get in a fuss about something you didn't even attend and only have context from people who get paid per click to post the most outrageous shit so they can get views.

    Oh look, that 50% of gamers are women quote. I didn't know that Microsoft was pushing shovelware mobile games now. Look at the target demo that buys the most games. Surprise! Its 18-35 year old males.

  14. The post could have just been out pf boredom. Its Saturday and we're all here posting on Slashdot instead of having lives so it's safe to assume we dont have anything better to do. I'm just killing time at work myself.

    I really wish I could find the statistics, but the percentage of black Oscar winners was within 1-2% of the overall black population. So uh, I fail to see the point you are trying to make. If you don't believe me, crunch the numbers starting in 2000. It matches up.

    Or you sign up with a carrier that just adds the phone sub to the plan, and lets you pay it off early if you want a new phone. T-Mobile lets me do that. I did that once when I had a phone battery just shit out on me, and it was $40 to pay off the phone, or $45 for a new battery. I just went ahead and paid off the old phone and got a new one. Once the phone is paid off, I just get $20/month knocked off my bill.

    The information is there for you to read and draw your own conclusions. Just because a site doesn't have the same political alignment you (or I, for that matter) happen to have doesn't mean that they are a tabloid paper. They were the only site to actually perform what would be considered real investigative journalism over the issue.

    The facts don't fit your twisted narrative.

    Its like you get it, but you're missing the one step to understand the point I tried to make in the post. So close man, one day, you will finally get it. Anyways, as I said earlier, you are just a waste of time. You find ways to discredit any information that disagrees with your twisted narrative. I wish I could live in such a sheltered world, but I prefer to read up on things and draw conclusions based on reals not feelz.

    I work as a contractor for the goverment. Anytime a Civilian gives me an order I know is wrong over the phone or in person, I email them paraphrasing what was said and ask a stupid question about it. I then use that email to forward to my Civ POC to get things sorted out. Its been a live saver several times.

    And you dodge the fact that Grayson is in the games Thank You dev files since Feb 2013 (Last revision of the files), and the article was released Jan 2014. Good job trying to divert attention and then set up strawmen arguments. You also keep diverting back to REVIEW when I keep saying FAVORABLE COVERAGE. I see no reason in continuing this if you regularly dodge points that put holes in your argument and keep trying to use a strawman argument about reviews when I have repeatedly said favorable coverage. Hell, go look up the Gamer Noche article headlines - It states favorable coverage, not reviews. The other side twisted it for reviews so they could shoot it down fast, when, in fact, nobody has ever made that claim from the beginning.

    My mistake, I had a few things mixed up there. Posting at work during a lull in a major outage can make you scatterbrained sometimes. The suspicion of the claims that she slept for favorable coverage does NOT mean the Kotaku article. Nathan wrote an article at RPS, where it got favorable coverage (considering its one of three listed in the article beyond the list) and had its image as the header of the article. http://www.rockpapershotgun.co...

    Beyond that, it goes to show the cronyism that is present in the journalism field. He is credited in the game back in Feb 2013 according to the game files last edit dates.

    Still absurd nonsense, lacking any grounding in fact.

    The point stands that they had an agreement, she violated it, and it revoked their agreed consent before the issue. What is sex without consent?
