If you line all those ones and zeros up in the proper order they can be pretty bad...

Anytime I have issues streaming with Netflix I just throw on my VPN(from private internet access) and problem solved. IF Verizon wants proof, I have it right here.

I should have stated video gaming with consoles. I thought it was quite obvious by typing with both thumbs, but I guess there's always one clueless chap in the crowd.

"people type fast-and-furiously on smartphones and tablets, so you know it can be done, but how exactly do these one- and two-fingered wonders (YouTube video) manage to do so?"

And my mom said playing video games wouldn't amount to anything. Look how fast I can type on my phone now bitch...my thumbs are flying

Well, where else is a troll to get their kicks? /. is the place to be a perfectly anonymous asshole

Exactly. So smashing them down to anything smaller than 10GB will lose SOME quality.

No cap at all. You're aware that you can compress them down to less than 5GB without losing much quality? If not, I see large pointless purchasing of 4TB HDDs in your future.

Then you have a shitty computer, slow connection or user error. I've been using it on 10.6 for over 2 yrs on my MBP. I usually watch a movie before bed while in bed, so maybe a good 2-3 movies a week on it and I've never experienced what you speak of.

Why the hell would anyone want to copy a stream from them anyway? Even on HD it still looks DVD quality at best. IF I am going to copy or download a movie I am going for highest quality possible.

You can get a VPN with a gift card.

Yup. 10min and I go from white to red.

Steam is already hard at work on this, but there still are very few games for linux. The ONLY reason I still have a Windows based rig is for gaming...and it's a monster -RAR-

There is a manager at work that I interact with on a semi regular basis and he can slightly pronounce the "L" it sounds like a "Y" almost. So, Lee would sound something like Yee. Maybe a different dialect or something.

I guess I am the only one that switched to linux because my work placed used it.

That's like saying I buy Playboy for the articles. I NEVER bought magazines/newspapers for the ads; I bought them for the content.
