When your PC is self-built and maintained with upgrades as needed, it's hard to tell the age of it. I got one part in it that's only like a year old, but I got a secondary HDD in there that's from the last decade.

Why should the race always be to the swift, or the Jumble to the quick-witted? Should they be allowed to win merely because of the gifts God gave them? Well I say, "Cheating is the gift man gives himself."

I think that he did think he knew how to break into an iPhone. But then after his interview, he found out that breaking into a modern mobile device is not the same as breaking into a computer back in the 80s and 90s, so he's just trying to save face.

I lived in a town with municipal internet. It was wonderful. My up/down speeds were synchronous, I didn't have to buy my own modem (or lease one for 10 bucks a month), and here comes the kicker: If I had a problem and had to call them, I talked to an actual person. No machine, no waiting on hold, just a person picked up on the other end of the line. A person who was even competent enough to perform basic tasks, like renewing my IP address.

I had Sprint back from 2011-2013. The data was so slow, when I first signed up I called them a few times, wondering what was wrong, because there was just no way that the data could actually be that slow. Over the next two years, I had developed a somewhat perverted fascination with the slowness of Sprint's network. I ran speed tests all the time just to see those 50-130 kbps speeds (that's bits, not bytes). It's like when you have a sore in your mouth, and you keep touching it with your tongue just to verify that it still hurts.

And yes, that was the speed I consistently saw. It doesn't matter if it was in the morning, afternoon, or 2AM. It was always around those speeds. It doesn't matter if I was on the east coast of florida, west coast, or in central florida. My phone at the time could use their WiMax network, which did get good speed, but it was the most useless technology ever. It basically didn't work unless you were standing right in front of a cell tower.

I then switched to T-Mobile. The first thing I did was run a speed test. I saw 12Mpbs.

This type of comment is always inevitable any time Simpsons gets mentioned in an online community.

No one denies that 3-9 was the golden age of the Simpsons. However 10-12 was the dark age of the simpsons. This was when Mike Scully ran the show; it had become very cartoony and "Family Guy"ish (maybe not so much with the cut-away gags, but in how it will compromise character integrity for the sake of a punch line). Around season 13 Al Jean rejoined the show as the showrunner, and the quality went back up. He was one of the original writers/show runners of the show.

So yes, Simpsons is not as good as it was in it golden years—I'm not sure if anything on TV is—but I think it's unfair to downright say it's bad now. It's a decent show, and still leagues better than Family Guy, at least. (I'm not sure why I'm suddenly comparing it to Family Guy—maybe it's because I hate Family Guy).

And before anyone points it out, yes, I'm aware of the irony that my signature comes from a Mike Scully episode of the Simpsons.

I don't want their technology that will run like crap on any AMD, or NVIDIA card older than 2 years.

They're a substantially less evil force than either Intel or NVIDIA.

If they were smart they would use a more specific percentage. Something like 96.3%

If you're going to pull a number out of your ass, may as well make it sound authentic.

CEO Brian Roberts said, "Today, we move on. Of course, we would have liked to bring our great products to new cities..."

Hey Brian, guess what. You still can! Nobody is stopping you.

Oh wait, what's that? You don't want to enter a market where there's any competition? I see.

Yes, it is a simplistic caricature. That's what makes it pretty accurate.

Unreal Engine 4 is free, but after 3k you have to pay 5% of the gross revenue.

John Oliver once said having a former telecom lobbyist be the chairman of the FCC was like having a dingo babysit your baby. Wheeler responded to this by saying "I am not a dingo"

I always wondered if that had like a double meaning.

Back in my day, we called them RC helicopters.

I've seen pictures of marathoners, and I've seen pictures of sprinters.

I'd sure as hell would rather look like a sprinter.
