Software, and the ease of getting one. If I want a taxi, I have to google for local taxis, call and hope they pick up, talk to someone who seemingly is always pissed about answering the phone, be lucky enough to speak to someone who I can u

A lot of people say they want negative feedback, but most of those people are human, and they react the same way most people react to negative feedback.

I feel like most businesses at that level of need have long moved away from the MacPro, or they are out of business. For the rest of us mortals wanting a tower mac, the price of entry is too prohibitive. Base for my 2008 MacPro was in the b

I'm mostly doing the same, but letting the DVD mail ride until it's not economical. Right now, it's still rocking.

Been watching this dude since the beginning, he's like the Andrew Dice Clay of Botany. Knows his shit for sure.

But even that doesn't have EVERYTHING. It's very rare, that I don't find even the most obscure stuff available on Netflix DVD service. I'm a huge film fanatic, and $20 for roughly 3 movies a week is a steal. Streaming se

You could easily be a millionaire multiple times over working a normal job for 38 years too.

The irony(maybe?) here is that DVD-by-mail is the ONLY way I can watch 99% of the movies out there. Streaming services are shit in comparison. They win in convenience, but barely.

It's always been my personal opinion that they should sell their software as as service to taxi companies through integration agreements. Besides the nicely subsidized prices, the act of easily being able to hail a ride is a game chang

Unfortunately, it's not Netflix so much crippling, as it is all the content creators trying to get a bigger piece of the pie. It was inevitable, there will never been a single place to get all of your media. Even Steam has lost high pr

If there were two identical torrent services, with the same content, except one you had to pay, what percentage of people would choose the pay site?

by overcast 7y ago
So the question is this, if there was two versions of a popular torrent site, equal in every way, except you had to pay for one to get the same content. What percentage of users would choose to use the pay site? I suspect a small fraction.

Your situation is the 1%, and that's awesome. You support the creators, AND you get a copy for yourself that is the most convenient. There is just NO WAY everyone else is doing that though. People have not purchased the thousands of mo

"Folks just don't want to spend the money per month it would take to watch everything they like." Exactly my point. I get why they are doing it, but not for the idealistic reasons OP referred to. People will always choose fre

The key elements to these photos basically come down to dramatic lighting(dawn/dusk), leading lines(look at the bridge and waterway shots, your eyes are guided to the mountains and the horizon), and the rule of thirds(dividing your ima

Sorry, but being free is the reason 99% of people pirate software. This list is a good spin on putting pirates into a positive light, but the fact of the matter, is that they are stealing software and entertainment. None of which are a basi

They blew it, plain and simple. Development went dark, VS Code swept in and took its place. Sad.

Even my alma mater is $45,244 a year, and most kids definitely do not get a full ride like the big Ivy League schools. Education is absolutely ridiculous now. https://www.rit.edu/admissions/aid/costs#2018-2019-esti

Home ownership and dealing with neighbors is all about picking your battles. Getting into a war over a light is just not worth the effort, when you have a simple solution. Chances are someone else will bitch anyhow. Save your ammunition for

A modern full frame sensor will give you that. But if you're happy with the Pixel, use it!

The best camera is ALWAYS going to be the one you have on you, which is why the camera phone will always win hands down for convenience. However, no amount of magic is going to change physics when it comes to comparing one to a full frame c

The D850 is not even two years old yet, and is still cutting edge in that price range (I use it daily).

Yeh unfortunately I can't even try any of these boutique keyboards, because they are all inevitably plain rectangles. I don't know how anyone types on those things without wrist problems. Ergo 4000 or the Sculpt Comfort for me. Th
