    You probably took the ONLY gigabit-capable node, the cheap bastards, so they can't offer anything faster than 3mbit.

    Their EULA can't go about violating the law. I am quite free to ignore those terms at my leisure.

    It's probably tied to the Bitcoin network by now.

    "Nazis are not well known for their data collection."

    Better take your uneducated ass right the fuck back to school, because they sure as fuck were.

  6. "Can you imagine a cell phone with a NiCd battery?"

    Yes. My old Nokia stil runs for weeks on a single charge.

    Where's my signature. Where's my actual name applied to the bottom of the EULA?

    That's what I thought. I never signed that contract of adhesion.

  8. " which can be charged either via the USB-C port or wirelessly"

    And we know wireless charging tends to produce a good bit of heat due to inefficiencies even at millimeters of distance, so I recommend not using that method of charging anything other than Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries until they get that solid-state lithium battery done.

  9. On those phone screens, 720p is plenty on Verizon To Start Throttling All Smartphone Videos To 480p or 720p (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I might see a use case for phones with maybe a 7" screen, but the typical 5-6" screens in most phones (tablets are a dying thing) 720p is just about as razor-sharp as you'd ideally want and for 4" phones 480p video is again about as crisp.

    A Delta Fan isn't a quad. It's a fucking jet turbine masquerading as a computer cooling fan.

    More people out in the streets instead of on the internet would be far more effective speech. Driving them to that is a perfectly usable method.

    "making it licensed will lead to a lot of 1st amendment issues."

    Not even, you're still free to speak publicly anywhere else. You need a license in order to travel on specific roads despite the freedom to wander (You need a proper vehicular license and vehicle to go on highways) so why not need a license to get on the information superhighway?

    It would cut down on a huge chunk of stupidity on the internet, as well.

  14. Re:Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks on Intel Launches 8th Generation Core CPUs (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    "All modern operating systems are multithreaded"

    And by default all modern OSes run everything (or try to) across every core, which quite often fucks up performance of single-threaded applications.

    "Tolerance of intolerance is not tolerance. It is acceptance of abuse."

    Intolerance of intolerance only leads to circular repeating violence. You do it to one group, another group does it to you, etc., etc.

    That's history, that's reality, and that's why philosophy is bullshit and should never be relied upon.

    People like you need to quit being disingenuous with other people's words. When I said they acted like Nazis, you obviously failed to draw the parallel to involuntary data collection.

    But hey, it's idiots like you that allow real dilution of words to happen, with your lacking brain power.

  17. "Clearly, you're a troll and I shouldn't feed you"

    Clearly you're a fucking millennial moron with no clue about prior fucking history and how this sort of situation has played out before. Go the fuck back to school.

    Anything after 3 is bullshit. Stick with the last version of 2. It is superior in every way down to sound quality when you use the built-in speed/tempo/pitch shifters.

    Why would I want a plugin when the same functionality is built-into a music payer that uses even fewer resources than Winamp 2.71?

    "At the end of the day, obtaining mp3 files, storing, sorting, organizing etc is just too much work"

    What horrible music player were you using? I just download everything I want, right-click->sort in my music player, and it does it all automatically for me. You know, we've got these magical little things called IDv3 tags.

  23. Re:xmms on What Happened To Winamp? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Or just get AIMP2 which has native speed, tempo, and pitch shifting built-in. Don't use AIMP3, as they changed the libraries that handled that and the quality of sound from that suffered tremendously.

    Try AIMP2 (not AIMP3.) Fully-loaded with every song on my system (almost 1500 songs) and I'm sitting at only 3.7 MB. I never shut the program down.
