Why do CDs have 700mb of data storage, but only ~80/90 minutes of audio playback? by janetdrscottjanetin answers

[–]MonkeyCrumpets 6 points7 points ago

DVDs didn't come out all that long after CDs

CD's have been around longer than you think. The first CD was released in 1982. DVD didn't debut until 1996.

It boggles my mind how ahead of their time CD's really were. Can you imagine having 700MB of storage in 1982? To put that in perspective, the PC my parents bought in 1995 only had a 512MB hard drive. If you want to think of it from a more modern perspective, imagine if an optical format were released tomorrow that could store a petabyte (1000TB).

I can't wait to finish the books so I can go there. Is it as awesome as I imagine?

I agree, I think leaving it as a surprise would be the most exiting.

(Storm of Swords spoiler)I am freaking out right now! by LadyPirateLordin gameofthrones

[–]MonkeyCrumpets 6 points7 points ago

Oh god...That was the part that really got me. It was like GRRM had taken the knife he'd just plunged into my heart, twisted it, pulled it out, and taken a giant shit inside the wound. I was in genuine shock and depression for a few days after that.

I watched the latest episode the next day and burst into tears during TV+ASOS

How Diablo III's Solo Experience Reveals A Hollow Game by limbclockin Games

Exactly. These people aren't apologists, they're addicts. They don't care if they get shit on, they just want another hit. Then they attempt to convince themselves (and by extension, everyone else) the latest dose is stronger than the last one in an attempt to enhance the high.

It's no surprise when you think about it. Blizzard are the masters of addictive gameplay (just look at WoW) and have been since the first Diablo.

DRM Free games on Steam. Are you guys up to compile a list? I started... by vgrezendein Games

Read OP's post, he's talking about games that can be successfully run from the steamapps folder without any steam processes running.

Did anyone else misread the episode name as "The Man Without Hodor" ? by kelvinmaiin gameofthrones

Yes. Silly American spelling...

Did you miss all of the "prom drama"?

Yes, because I unsubbed from all the main subs years ago. I only chanced upon this post because I decided to see what r/all was like these days. Instant regret.

This would be far more adorable without the cat's nutsack on display.

This sort of shit happens all the time. People really need to think about how they phrase things.

Sneak out? Sneak out of where?

Is everyone on reddit 16 now?

Or better yet, delete it and resubmit without Theon's name in the title.

What's the best way to watch the second season? by Dom19in gameofthrones

[–]MonkeyCrumpets 0 points1 point ago

Pirate the 1080i MPEG2 rips. It's the best quality you're going to get until the blurays come out, though the files aren't exactly small...
