"for hd video, wifi is NO SUBSTITUTE for wired enet.

try an mkv file; oftentimes it takes 2 or even 3 minutes before vlc (on win7 ultimate) begins to play, and that is with the very latest media bridge of ac to ac wireless (2 asus routers). this is as good as wireless gets for consumers and yet I have a several minute wait time."

That's your problem - the second you went into bridge mode you effectively HALVED your available bandwidth between routers.

It's like nobody learned the lesson that DD-WRT taught people years and years ago - wireless bridges SUCK and are no replacement for a proper signal repeater.

I have zero problems streaming 1080p video over my wireless network - why? Because I'm smart enough to not halve my bandwidth with an asinine network configuration, and I'm using one of the crappiest Belkin N-speed routers (with absolutely non-working port forwarding/DMZ on top of that!) I click a video from my media server, it's streaming pretty much immediately.

I don't see colors, I see the electro-magnetic spectrum in the range of 380nm-740nm.

Colors are for artists.

Shitty potatophone camera fucks up picture, the internet loses its fucking mind over colors.

Yay Beta is gone, but did you guys have to push to a live production server with these bugs?

Where's your pink sombrero supply?

And you still have a ton of whitespace.

" You clearly haven't worked in proprietary software development teams and seen the incompetent vomit that goes into products."

Bullshit, I do controller programming all day for massive hydroponic farms - I know what bullshit people can write. Part of my job is fixing said bullshit.

You're not apparently reading my words the proper way.

"in closed software there is no possibility of the community finding the faulty code and reporting it,"

Yea, that sure worked out well for Superfish, which is closed-csource. Less than 12 hours after it was broken there was a tool out to track and log anyone infected with Superfish released on GitHub.

"Maybe you should think a little about what it means before posting a nonsense conclusion."

Maybe you should do a bit more critical thinking, as very recent events have proven you utterly wrong.

" Nobody would use the site if they opened up the floodgates."

Explain 4chan and 8chan, then.

4ch? That's a weird way to abbreviate inches.

Ah well, since we're comparing sizes, I'm 8ch!

Admins threatening to frame a subreddit mod for child pornography, GamerGate censorship, unfaithful fucking CEOs with a running history of being unfaithful, pandering to the SJW crowd, shutting down subreddits that broke ZERO rules just to please Anti-GamerGate assholes.

Fuck Reddit, fuck its admins, and fuck the default subredit moderators for rolling over and taking this shit instead of burning the fucking site to the ground.

"While open source is not a 100% panacea for security, it is so VASTLY less likely to be compromised than closed proprietary code that it's no contest whatsoever."

And yet a simple google search for 0-days and such in OSS software shows that you are just dead fucking wrong.

"In the southern US, solar may not be as usable since it won't run an A/C"

Uhh, yea, about that. You most certainly can run an A/C system on solar. We've got AC systems with 400% efficiency (For every one watt of power used, 4 watts of heat get removed from a system) and even typical 3-ton AC units are coming down in power usage to where you can run one off 120V 20A.

"So it's NOT the rich deploying distributed solar."

Yea, sure, that money just magically appeared in someone's hands and said "Hey, spend me on solar and put me on other people's roofs and charge them to use me!"

Like this bad mother fucker right here.

The Italian word for 'masturbate.'

"... the writing is on the wall for console monopolies when computers are becoming a commodity everyday device."

Your comment is as retarded today as it was when it was first parroted some 20-odd years ago.

Uh, yea. Trust of ANY program on your computer. Damage is done and continuing to be dealt.
