mame as javascript only worked because distribution of mame is garbage.
go ahead. dont belive me? go on and try to install it now. you will waste days just trying to figure out where you can find some version and then how to hook up that nice frontend you saw on some video demo of a rare mame setup mame.
what they did was excellent. because the alternative was messy.
vlc is already available in a very nice package everywhere. Insead of that futile effort, just convince everyone to just publish the media file and maybe subtitles, in a stardard way, instead of in a proprietary flash-player replacement or proprietary stream app. Your browser will already send it to vlc just fine.
If you actually happen to NEED unlimited data, and someone offers you unlimited data at some speed, and when you go to use it it is not that speed. And now your system does not work as designed.
Are you a happy consumer then? and since everyone get fooled by the false marketing, the actual providers of unlimited data at a certain speed is now out of business, because they had to charge for the real deal.
This is not about having sane limits. It's about false advertising with the only goal of killing competition and stealing business.
And btw, all carriers do that. It's a shame FCC is a tool for AT&T and Verizon nowadays on their plan to split the country into two monopolies. I will bet you money that they will never get a fine like that. ever.
i've had phone (3g unlimited[0]); business DSL (connected 0.4miles from the trunk!); and Cable service from AT&T.
I can say with 100% of confidence, they oversell like crazy and are limited on both wireless spectrum as their pipes capabilities.
Even if they have much better coverage than Tmobile where i live and work, i will still endure it and not give them my service anymore.
[0] remember they charged extra if you had an iphone? ha! always used android and nokia. Also of note, they managed to overcharge my all-unlimited account for $800 above the contract for two consecutive months.
I was apparently signed up on Yahoo though as in I was able to log in to Yahoo and cancel the service. Which I assumed made the charge "legitimate" whether or not a refund was offered. I was thinking of disputing it but was inclined not to bother. Maybe I'll take a further look.
I think it's flaws, only somewhat addressed in recent revisions, are better known now than they were in the mid-'90s when I learned and started using it, plus the industry wide ... obsession? with OO and especially class based OO has subsided. So someone with good taste who reads and trusts what he reads of these details could, yeah, probably not legitimately loathe it, but at least decide without using it that it wasn't for him.
I changed the initial use of loathe in this context to dislike, thanks for pointing that out.
