  1. Yeah, except when you take into account that holy Google is bleeding money from Youtube. EDIT: I just want to put it out there. With modern internet speeds, lossless audio streaming is very much possible. But if a company is not going to make any money off of lossless streaming, they're not going to do it. Google takes a hit on Youtube because in the grand scheme of things, it's worth it. I don't think Spotify is willing to go that far.
  2. I'll repeat myself, not YOU, the SERVICE. It doesn't matter if you can download at way above 1.4Mbps, if it's not profitable for them to store it there's no reason to offer it. Especially not for miniscule improvement from 320k Vorbis.

  4. I think you have a couple misconceptions. CD-quality audio is stuff that comes straight out of the CD, no compression, it's the largest file in it's type (16bit/44.1hz). If you go onto Foobar and look at a CD, it will show the bitrate as 1411kbps. FLAC is a result of compressing said CD audio. FLAC is always smaller and is exactly the same, why have a larger file that sounds no different from the smaller one. And um...1411 kbps / 10 = 1.411 Mbps...What I'm saying is a straight CD rip or even lossleses is taxing to bandwidth, not to you, but to the service. Just think about it, most modern songs end up compressing to around 1000kbps, that's 3x more than even Spotify premium at 320kbps. Spotify has about 20 million songs in it's library. But to store all 20 million in FLAC, they'd have to store the equivalent of 60 million songs encoded in 320k Vorbis, servers cost money you know.

  6. What? CD-quality audio is the largest form of audio unless you go for 24-bit stuff, it's uncompressed PCM at 1411kbps.
  7. The backspace key on my MX Brown Legend is driving me crazy. It drove me even more crazy when I got a Blue one to compare. It's a little better on the Brown, but frankly, the stabilizers on my BWU 2013 were better.
  8. Google keyboard, you get a choice between Material or Holo styles.
  9. The Steam requirement is usually correct. Since it takes into account the total unpacked size. Like sure, Dota 2 is a 8GB download, but when you unpack it, it bloats to 25GB+
  10. So it's worse than Nvidia's 87.5% of a product right.
  11. Beats diminishing returns start at $0
  12. IMO they're already stretching Broadwell. Technically we're in the age of Broadwell, but the only chips to make it to market are Core M, and barely any signs of a 5770k or something.
  13. Aren't like all of our favorite headphones to recommend to other people like around $300?
  14. 1) None of them 2) You already have a DA Chroma so no 3) It doesn't matter, it's your money, but if you want the Seiren you might as well buy the Yeti instead 4) If there is one, and if you can find the Seiren for half off then sure
  15. The FCC didn't create any laws, it just classified ISPs as a common carrier under Title II of the Communications Act
  16. The only reason I got space grey was because it was the only one they offered a black face on.
  17. Let them listen to what they want.
  18. Nvidia doesn't even let that happen, even if you wanted it to. Also Nvidia learned their lesson a long time ago, it's called the GTX 480 Breakfast Grille. Free sunny-side up eggs.
  19. Can we have a giant sticky that says "There won't be a 980Ti because theres nothing on the 980 GM204 to unlock"
  20. Amazon is usually very quick, just shoot them an email. If it's a third-party seller they might just be incompetent.
  21. How to answer her very inappropriately 1. So can we have a whole game about traps? 2. I like lingerie armor, shut the fuck up, I want to stare at a female ass in an MMO not a dirty man-butt 3. Skyrim + any body mod, there go have your various body types. They even have lolis if you like that 4. What on a female body is naturally larger than a male's? Oh yeah their breasts and hips/butt 5. White is a color 6. Lazy devs already do that, men and women move the same 7. YOU GO TRY AND FAKE YOUR HEAD BEING CUT OFF, I bet you many people would like to see that 8. So I can't fantasize about hot villains? Ok.
