At some point, having a server (like Linode) becomes well worth it. As long as you have a network connection, you can connect to your one development box.

Comment Re:How will this affect the current Netflix/ISP fi (Score 1) 631

It is virtually certain that the contract Netflix signed with Verizon includes a provision specifically covering the eventuality of net neutrality regulations being passed. Both those companies know what they're doing, would have realized the possibility, and would have wanted to negotiate explicit terms for it rather than leave them to litigation.

You're confused. MPEG-Dash is not a codec; it's a container format, and one which enables adaptive quality while streaming, just like WMA does/did.

If you want your MP3/AAC, good news -- you can easily transcode it out of an MPEG-Dash stream.

Leaving the office yesterday, i got in at the 6th floor. First it stopped at the 5th and a man got on. At the 4th floor, another man and woman entered. From there we went straight down the other 4 floors unabated.

Mr. 4th floor recognized Mr. 5th floor and they chatted. Moments before the gates to freedom something like this transpired:

I have issues using website with crude names. FF/abe takes me the rest of the way.

Netflix plays at 1x speed. For some things that's ok, but for anime especially, i don't think i could survive it. I usually watch subbed, between1.3x and 1.77x. I also want to watch interesting lectures (online universities) whilst riding on my bike, but they switch the format to multiple videos of a few minutes each, which doesn't work so well for these ends.

I don't really watch recent tv shows, unless they really catch my eye. Recently, saw once upon a time and arrow, both which had great first seasons (well, ouat was great, arrow was just good enough to watch) but bad second seasons. Flash was unwatchable even in the first season. At least bad movies are fun to watch to some extent (special effects, short story) and that's where netflix ought to come in.

I just need to take a break from playing games now and then. :)

I'm listening to you just around the corner.... :)

If this is what noone in the office makes you do, what has thepiratebay's ship being sunk made you do? I'm checking out netflix. (*gasp*)
