Comment Re: Does someone still believe their research? (Score 3) 167

That's what I always laughed at with these industry people, claiming it's lost revenue. Especially with now crappy music/movies are now adays, it's a gamble if it's going to be worth buying. Newest movie on BluRay runs about $30 (Canadian) that's a bit gamble on a movie. Or $25 for a non pop star cd (again, gamble if it's a worthy cd). I've personally bought movies I've watched 100 times, because I've watched them 100 times. Same with cds I've listened to 100 times. If it came down to having to buy a movie @30 or cd @25 to see if I'll like it, I wouldn't buy it, I'd wait until a buddy had it, and borrow it. If I think it would join the 100 club then buy it. The time of quality things being produced, is gone.

I get multiple recruiters too. Usually lowball wages, or requiring such an unrealistic list of skillset I ignore them. But a majority of stuff I recieve is people from India trying to be my buddy, or lobbying to give them a job.

Comment Not surprised (Score 1) 136

Seeing people on scooters in my city, I'm not surprised they're in the hospital. Nearly all of them just zoom around, don't adhere to road rules. Then if you do hit one, media blames car driver with titles that read "car hits scooter". I actually almost hit one today, driving south, put my blinker on to turn right onto a street. I get to where I'm about to turn the wheel, Scooter driving on my lane towards me and tries to left turn onto the road I'm on. I see them also driving down very busy streets middle of the road.

Comment Re: It's just a get rich quick scheme (Score 5, Insightful) 559

It really was, especially with articles that were headlined "we have no idea why it's going up" and "people are mortgaging their homes to get into the act" and "75% of coins are held by like 5 people". Once those articles hit the street, the ponzie scheme was complete. They sold, dumped their coins and walked away probably billionaires

Comment Re: Antenna are still worse then netflix (Score 1) 186

Agreed. I mostly watch or re-watch my favorite shows since newer stuff is usually rammed full of PC content. I've torrented all my old shows, I keep Netflix for the kid to watch kid shows. As soon as they introduce ads, I'll simply torrent the kids shows too. Sick of ads EVERYWHERE. I'm not marketable nor in the age group that'll buy the newest and latest because it's the newest latest. Besides, Netflix still can't stop my VPN for Murica Netflix. So suck it Netflix.

Comment Re: Two guys with 8 will be terribly disappointed (Score 1) 86

I got the notification on Win7 to go to 10. Clicked ok on my virtual machine. Went all the way through.... failed. Thankfully it was only a virtual machine, mounted my 7 ISO, reinstalled 7, then Never10. Problem solved. Even after they claimed they stopped pushing 10 update, I still see the update file appear on my 7 updates.
