And now I'm imagining a country Manowar.

Finally got my AP Scores. I got a 5 on AP Government and AP Literature. I am pretty happy with this!

Grandmother says she has a box of 'that video game stuff' and says if I want it, it is mine.

Dreamcast, controller, jet grind radio, chu chu rocket, and dead or alive 2

Jesus Christ, even your *luck* is dangerously bipolar.

Demosprite and I are now bros, for having both gotten free Dreamcasts completely by accident.

Except mine came with Shenmue and I would kill for a copy of Jet Grind Radio.

Good thing these things are easy to burn!

Putting in my final signatures tonight!

Since I'm doing it so late on a Friday, it'll be five more days stuck until I actually move in.

Spent the last two days panicking because I thought I had to wire in my entire bank account and my next week's ARE YOU SHITTING ME

A REMAKE OF CONAN

Anyway like I was saying I thought I'd be broke forever and then I decided to do next week's budget and it was all like "You'll be out of the whole by September you moron."

So now I don't have to cancel NetFlix! But I probably will anyway!

I am enjoying the cooler weather of Los angeles for the next week and loving it

Undoubtedly a good move. It's hotter'n Satan's asshole just about everywhere but the west coast.

Verizon waived my ETF.

Büge · « **Reply #651 on:** July 22, 2011, 07:25:19 AM »

ETF... Enormous Transfer Fee?

Ziiro · « **Reply #652 on:** July 22, 2011, 08:22:00 AM »

Early Termination Fee. I switched to sprint.

Brentai · « **Reply #653 on:** July 22, 2011, 09:31:50 AM »

Ooh, bad timing on that one. Even I'm getting fed up with them.

Ziiro · « **Reply #654 on:** July 22, 2011, 09:50:22 AM »

Eh? What's wrong?

I got an EVO 3D. Haven't had a problem with the network, and I'm paying about 1/3rd less for the same plan, basically.

TA · « **Reply #655 on:** July 22, 2011, 10:42:38 AM »

Yeah, I'm on Sprint and wouldn't dream of switching. None of the other providers offer the same services.

Brentai · « **Reply #656 on:** July 22, 2011, 05:53:31 PM »

I'm back.

The intelligent burst or whatever mechanism is kind of bizarre. When I load up an HD YouTube video the bar will jump out about a quarter of the way and then crawl as usual. If you jump to a point it'll burst again.

I can see a lot of people trying to write programs to game this system by stopping and restarting downloads every 200MB or so, but I figure Cox would slap me if I did that. I want to establish myself as a customer before I start streaming {every buzzword in Albatross's database} through this thing.

EDIT: The exact same thing happens for 360p which leads me to believe it's just YouTube being a dick. Need better benchmarks.

Youtube limits your download speed. They don't want you downloading the whole video at the start if there's a chance of you not finishing it.
