I live in South Africa. I can stream 1080p from YouTube with no issues, but Twitch is usually one of two outcomes: stuttering/lag across all browsers or, since the auto quality feature has been implemented, jumping between 720p and 144p, constantly adjusting quality.

Occasionally I can watch 720p just fine, but this is rare. I've resorted to watching tournaments like TI on YouTube, with the Twitch chat popped out for extra entertainment.

But your argument basically boils down to:

Stop using the operating system where everything works: apps, games, hardware, good office package, etc.; rather use an operating system on which debugging to a layman translates to a plane of hell itself, where your hardware may or may not work, and half your game library certainly won't.

I would happily switch to Linux permanently the day the flagship office package UI doesn't resemble Office 97 (the ribbon UI is absolutely fantastic in MS Office), I can get all of my games to work, and I don't need to recompile a kernel to get something as basic as a graphics driver running.

Wow, this thread. Plenty of people insisting on gaining access to source code they didn't write and had no part in developing.

News flash: it's not your product, you don't own it, and you have no rights to insist on hijacking someone else's product for your own gain.

Yeah... I don't think Johannesburg conforms to your ideas at all.

Even worse in South Africa! I only got to play the shareware versions as a kid from floppies included with (I think) Computer Shopper magazines, which my dad used to buy.

I found that jump mechanic very frustrating, but mostly because I could never time it perfectly!

"View your emails messages and settings"; you must be insane to think I'd give you that kind of information.

I prefer my writing as unambiguous as possible, so I also like that way of writing it. Like someone else mentioned, "mousewritten" is not necessarily the same as handwritten, so that could be part of the problem.

That's bad news for me, because I also plan to use the MNIST data in a project of mine. :)

Add to that list, when I draw an 8, it's also recognised as a 2.

I draw my 1's the way it's often displayed on screen, with a little tail at the top and a line at the base. Your system keeps detecting this as a 2. I've also had 3's detected as 2's.

Last I checked, France was not a "war torn country".

He was already in France, then obtained a fake passport to illegally cross into the UK.

I agree. I find this terrifying. This just shows how easily a terrorist could have done something similar.

I must be missing something. Why didn't he apply for asylum in France then?
