I don't want higher priced 25/3 to be the new minimum.
I don't either, I want 25+/25 to be the new minimum, 100/100 would be a good upper end goal.
Friends and family are surely tired of my tinfoil hat, they just do not seem to care about their privacy. Many say the "I have nothing to hide" line.
Many are idiots. And the tin-foil hat line seems passe now that it's been proven that quite likely even the most paranoid tin-foil hat wearer underestimated the true scope of the surveillance operations.
I'm on a 1M connection and can surf the web, watch movies, etc.. with no issue.
I call BS on this one. I'm on an 10+M connection, and movies are unwatchable. Then again, it has nothing to do with my connection, but the source.
The FCC would be much better off leaving the broadband definition alone and instead try to figure out how to get at least 3-4 independent providers in every area so there is real competition.
The FCC should define acceptable broadband by upload speed. 10M up would be acceptable. Down past 10 (or the upload speed) is not usable, unless we're talking 4K streams. Why up? Because when you have 20MB photos you want to print, or share with someone, or movies, no, not pirated stuff but HD home movies are still large, 70 minutes came out to 50GB, for instance. I know that after processing, I'll get that down to 10GB or so, but to share that with family is not really doable on a 3Mbps upload link where your real upload is going to be a lot less over the course of 10GB. A 10Mbps upload will at least allow some reasonable connectivity, and remove the need for an intermediate server to hold the file. Ideally we'd be on 25Mbps upload, as a minimum. There's only 2 providers that have these numbers in the US, Google, and Verizon FIOS. Neither is wide spread, and Verizon has killed further FIOS deployments.
The first Transformers movie sucked badly. Really badly.
The Transformers: The Movie is fucking awesome.
You must be 11.
Seriously, the animated cartoon posing as a movie wasn't a "movie". Animated feature would probably be doing it a large favor.
Because, thanks to nonsense like the registry, installing an app into Windows is a non-trivial operation.
a) it's crappy developers that force the registry hell on you. There's no reason to use it, nor any requirement to use it.
b) There's no problem building a single EXE with all required DLLs (or there didn't used to be.)
c) there's nothing preventing you from shipping a zip (because windows still doesn't understand a tarball) which has everything packaged up nice and neat (ie, a bundle)
d) multiple users can use an app that you drop into the appropriate places, some will require that when you drop it there, you have to elevate your privs, but that's pretty standard
There's no excuse to have installer hell. Just say no.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
