    What about its IRC client? :P

    3 kB/sec is horrible slow. I have to disable graphics, Flash, videos, etc. :(

  5. I will keep using my CRT TVs! on Alfred Poor Says HDTV Manufacturers are Hurting (Video) · · Score: 1

    They do fine. I don't need the fancy stuff. They still work. One of them is from January 1996 and worked this morning. ;)

  8. Re:Not going to happen on Legislation Would Prohibit ISPs From Throttling Online Video Services · · Score: 1

    Cable is the only affordable broadband Internet service in my areas. No DSL (too far to CO) and FIOS from Verizon. Verzion and GTE's phone system sucks badly in my areas. On good connections, my neighbors and I get about 3 kB/sec with already compressed datas. We have lots of line noises (can see my modems to struggle with the external lights).

  9. Re:Pretty much. on How Blockbuster Could Have Owned Netflix · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Only movies? Do they have many like indies, old ones, etc.?

  10. Re:Pretty much. on How Blockbuster Could Have Owned Netflix · · Score: 2

    I wished Netflix had a non-subscription payment system. I rarely watch stuff these days. I like Amazon and iTunes for their on demand payments. However, I dislike buying videos that I have to keep forever. I only want to watch them once at a cheaper price!

  11. Re: At least now we know the real Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook Patented Making NSA Data Handoffs Easier · · Score: 1

    How does one avoid them? Go off the grid? Is that even possible?

    I hate the alcohol part. I love fruit juice though.

    And have lots of commercials! IIRC, BBC and others didn't have them?

  14. Re:ooooh, ooooh, I get it! on LeVar Burton On Google Glass · · Score: 2

    But his visor could be like Google Glass. :P

    I am fake. I am not real. What is real?

    You don't care but NBA, CBS, Comcast, Care More, etc. care though! :P

    FYI, it's = it is/has. ;)

    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/phoenix/releases/ doesn't even show v1.0. Only v0.1 to v0.5. However, its readme says to go to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ that show v1.0 as 12/10/2004 (DOOM shareware's release 11 years old! 20 in 2013!).

  20. Re:Standard War Room activities on "War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov · · Score: 1

    My employer's department (20? people in total in the local office) has a tiny war room. It can only seat maybe five/5 people for the round table. Is that good or bad? I chuckled at it is even called a war room. :P

    Where can we get a legit valid W8 Pro. license key without the software, box, etc.?

  23. Re:Windows 8.x is horrible! on Microsoft Donates Windows 8.1 To Nonprofit Organizations · · Score: 1

    Ditto. 8.x is worse than MS' OSes: Vista, ME, 3.x, DOS v4, etc. for me as well. W8.x's non-touch screen usability drives me nuts even if I use at work for testings. :(

    Also, I hate Unity in Linux. Our computing future looks crap. :(

  24. Mavericks (Mac OS X 10.9) forces iCloud for sync. on What Apple Does and Doesn't Know About You · · Score: 1

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117

    "... If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud..."

    Many users are angry at this requirement for privacy, connection, etc. reasons like on https://discussions.apple.com/message/23444199 ...

    I wonder when we will get them since I don't drive due to my disabilities. Probably after I am dead. I don't even trust computers due to bugs as a SQA tester/analyst. :(
