    Have you ever gone out in nature, before? Quite often you will find yourself fixed on a single focal point, and you might look at it for a long time. It could be far away, it could be up close.

    There was a video I watched on wimp.com that went over this exact same thing. Many birds in nature already naturally do minor and major scales. They compared many bird calls to various pieces of music and found many striking similarities.

    No, I was not. I downloaded RAW rips, thank you very much. 4+GB per 24-minute episode.

    The fact a web browser (which shouldn't use SHIT for resources) needs that much extra horsepower is a testament to the shit coding skill and practices in use on the web today.

    >mfw I play 120+ FPS video at 720p+ routinely and have since 2004

    Are you that behind the times? Looks like you and everyone else are that behind the times.

    You're only spending that extra horsepower on DRM.

    Go back to school.

    Oh, BTW, Youtube's "1808p" is 540p double-interlaced with de-interlacing. That's why it's got the Chrome video/text issue.

    >mfw I can pause the video, and knowing that my TV at 1080p uses a 3x3x3 subpixel grouping for each pixel, I can tell the actual resolution by pausing the screen and having a color analyzer go over it.

    It's not 1080 ANY RESOLUTION.

    60FPS is DVD-speed.

    What was that, idiot?

    "As I mentioned in an earlier reply, TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV [ietf.org] offers mitigation for such protocol downgrade scenarios,"

    And it's horribly broken by design which is why IN MY CONSULTATIONS WITH GOOGLE we decided to remove the fallback code ENTIRELY because TLS 1.0 is broken as fuck in the same vein that SSL 3.0 is broken.

    There's a reason I was the first computer help provider on Google Helpouts - that's because Google comes to ME (and pays well) for advice.

    I don't see them consulting your ignorant ass.
