Confirmed then. Notifications don't use a short variable.

Nope. Wonder how long it'll take to overflow a 32bit int?

That explains why you didn't answer me about the $42 million I needed to deposit into your bank account.

Get him to stand on his knees, so his mouth is within easy reach of your foot.

Stop hanging out in QA so you can get a life?

I had two choices: work or CP (which means QA today as no much activity elsewhere)...I picked CP...

I've been using the free version of Spotify since last week.
Never really got into it, but now I'm loving it
So anyway, I just noticed uBlock blocked 500 requests, or 58% of the total.
Does that mean Spotify is actually more advertisement than anything else?
*Just noticed the number went up, it's 60% now.
I guess I'm effectively listening to Spotify Premium at no charge
Not sure if I should whitelist them... Ad-less music vs. honest earnings for a good service at the listening expense...

The kids bought the wife a subscription to the premium edition of Spotify a couple of months ago. She loves it. When I finally upgraded her machine to Win 10, the only thing she told me was: "You mess up my Spotify and you're dead!" I must confess my hands trembled a bit when I installed Spotify on 10, but fortunately it worked without problems.

Yes! This comes as a surprise to you? After all that bitching by Sailor Twit about the paltry amount of money they were intending to give her?

It doesn't when the number adds up after every song.

Not quite. As I understand it, you get better sound quality with a premium subscription.

You get more bits per second at least..

Quote: You get more bits per second at least
Which equates to faster digitizing and hence better quality - right?

Lower quantization, so lower distortion. But who can tell? The minimum bits/s to get "transparent" Ogg Vorbis encoded audio depends on which study you read and what sound you're encoding (transients are annoying and can cause pre-echo in essentially every frequency-domain codec, vorbis does a pretty good job though), but some sources put it at q5 (which corresponds to 160kbps, which you get in Spotify Free), some at q6, but 320kbps is all the way up to q9, nearly the max and uselessly high. They could probably go down to q4 (128kbps) and almost no one would notice.
