Comment Re:Net neutrality issue? (Score 1) 134

It is. I am a system administrator and more than once I had problems with one of my systems - which is restricted use and very important - caused by rogue javascript code inserted by ISPs or viruses on the user's computer (such codes could never harm the system server itself but prevented the affected user to use it). And as example, if it was you who put this rogue code on the user's connection I could have you arrested for interfering with state emergency services. Point is, injected rogue javascript can cause many, serious problems.

I forgot to add this in my previous comment. I said "generation Web" because adding to what I wrote earlier, to me the interface of the current crop of applications looks a lot like something you would do if all you know is making web pages and having no experience with anything other than that.

Style, the way of thinking when developing your application. Notice how the older versions of Skype and MSN Messenger bothered trying do the job right and worried about the details. Now notice how the newest versions seem made by someone who only cares about making interfaces that make sense only to him, not caring about details and nastily doing the basic work for which the application was made. As if you took a professional developer and swapped him for an amateur with no experience in making professional applications and having more ego than skill.

You do not understand anything of what I wrote, and in an epic way... I am hitting some nerve here? I did not write at any time about security, I'm talking about programming experience and good sense that the "generation Web" seens to lack and the worst part is that they seem not to care about such gaps.

I think I should add details. in 1440p works perfectly for me, but as I said I am aiming at the goal of 4K @ 60fps (I do not really like to try to play at 30fps). Without ENB works (4K @ 60fps using my rig), but with ENB the framerate drops to around 30~40fps. And funny enough, that with or without heavy effects activated like SSAO, somewhere in the ENB code there is a large loss of performance when you increase the resolution to 4K.

Comment Re: Hey, it's the only Blu-Ray I own (Score 1) 205

Uh... What part of "USA is not the center of the universe" you did not understand? Do you think that only north-americans can afford to buy things and therefore only they matter? I know that the studios focus on making films to please only the north-americans, but that in any way mean that they're right.
