Why don't the powers that be make a new image animated image format that is bandwidth conservative? I don't get why Google/Apple/Microsoft/Adobe haven't jumped on this. Or maybe I do, they don't use animated GIFs. Fuck. If only Reddit/imgur/Internet forums had any lobbying power.

This whole thread is silly.

The "Bro" has nothing to do with brogrammer or that misogynist culture. It's a pun on "man" pages.

And most people in tech who use the term bro are not referring to the brogrammer culture. They're using the bro slang popularized by MMORPGs/MOBAs/4chan/internet memes, since like World of Warcraft 2004.

What's to talk about? 1440p or 1600p monitors have been out for a long while. You can get an amazing QNIX2710LED for just $400 on Amazon.

I will say gaming grade 1440p/1600p monitors still aren't available, or some combination of gaming grade and high color reproduction (IPS). Some people have had luck overclocking Korean monitors to 120Hz. I don't know if we'll ever see a native 120Hz 2560x1440/1600 IPS monitor (w/Nvidia G-SYNC to boot).

If I planned my life around it, I could live without voice and texting, and rely on instant messaging and Email instead, however I must have LTE. I can't rely on WI-FI everywhere. So, I would be paying some cellular service for LTE, and then I might as well get voice/text.

That said, I just noticed T-Mobile $30/month 100 minute voice, and unlimited data (4G up until 5GB) plan. That's pretty amazing and I will probably jump ship from Verizon.

Well, I wouldn't say drinking coffee or tea is a health benefit. Especially coffee.

I'd say it boils down to how often you drink, serving size, and how much sugar.
