The games that piss you off the most are the ones that don't have ends, but you don't figure it out until Al Gore invents the Internet and you can look it up. One word . . . Gauntlet.

Golgo 13. Just when you're feeling proud that you beat the first level you descend into a tunnel maze that will result in multiple broken household items and/or incoherent screaming.

Honestly one of the reason I still jailbreak my device and do not own an android is rather simple. I hate the User Interface of an Android. Yes I know there are tons options to change this interface, but by the time you do that, it is just unbearably slow. For example one of the things that drives me crazy is coping

It's not an airliner, we could not care less about looks, it's function. All that exposed wiring makes repairs and troubleshooting extremely easy. I envy the techs on these planes. On a cobra, every damn wire is behind a panel, which has a gazillion screws to remove. Then you get the panel off and realize you need to

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:

Hail to my Surfboardt

Your buddy's way of looking at this is completely backwards and self-serving. The idea that Netflix/Youtube are the freeloaders in the current arrangement is ridiculous. AT&T/Comcast/Time Warner are the freeloaders . . . people are paying their Internet providers $60+ each month just to get to the stuff they

We paid them and others in the industry $200 billion 15 years ago to upgrade that infrastructure.

Thank you for answering my question, Annalee.

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 had my first LED "Burn out" last week. Smelled like a fried resistor. I suspect the LED is actually still fine, but haven't torn it apart yet to confirm.

it definitely didn't last 25K hrs. And the incandescent bulb in the next fixture over on the same switch outlasted it.

LEDs also decay in brightness over time as

"THIS IS HORRIBLE I'LL NEVER USE FACEBOOK AGAIN WHO'S WITH M-wait I forgot what I was complaining about. Oh well, guess I'll go on Facebook."

YOU'RE terrible.

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.

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
