So basically in the contest of making their service as difficult to use as possible, Flickr looked at Quora and said, "I got this."
not like this though:

The difference here is that they don't operate on contracts. Any customer can choose to cancel at any time. The incentives in all the business you listed are to lock new customers into long contracts.
Isn't this because of that stuff that went down with Comcast forcing them to pay more for bandwidth?

I have Amazon Prime for the shipping benefits, so I get streaming as well. On top of that I have a Netflix subscription and those two alone satisfy my viewing needs. Hulu Plus just wasn't worth it to me. I hated knowing that I was paying to sit through 5 commercials every 10 minutes.
When video is viewed at a lower framerate, it's up to our brains to fill in the gaps, to determine what the extra frames would look like. When motion smoothing is enabled, the TV does it and it does a bad job.
Are you (or others reading this) on cable internet? Remember, your network connection is, basically, shared by others in your neighborhood. So, if its peak usage time (ie, everyone has just gotten home from work and is checking FaceBook), that will slow down your connection.

I prefer InSSIDer. It provides a much better interface. Nirsoft does make some other awesome softwares though.
In RE: "Pay off the House." Something a lot of people fail to take into account is you can still get that "home equity" if you're renting, but you have to be diligent about it. Between mortgage interest rates, taxes and repairs, home owners typically spend 50-75% more than renters, sometimes even more than that.
Personally, I agree. When everyone was originally worried about net neutrality in the first place, this is exactly what we were hoping to avoid. A la carte access to the internet where each individual service has to pay extra just to reach consumers (as opposed to the model we have now where, say, Netflix pays to put…
Sounds like exactly what net neutrality is supposed to be preventing - preferential content access based on the provider paying a fee to the carrier. Would hugely stifle innovation and competition and be consumer-unfriendly in the long run. I don't see why cellular should be exempt from the rules, but govt bodies…
And the myth that charging your device at a faster rate will reduce the life of your device’s battery is false.

1. Notebooks can't do everything.
Going through the backscatter machines is for scrubs. If I get pulled to go through one, I always opt out. Those TSA motherfuckers are paid using my tax money to cup my balls, and by god, cup my balls they will. One day I hope to work up the nerve to actually come right out and ask them, "so over the course of your…
