I forgot you were from Israel. My bad. 
Sunday to Thursday, right?

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

Nope. Wonder how long it'll take to overflow a 32bit int? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What to do when I want to kick someone a second time in the QA, but now in the teeth?

Get him to stand on his knees, so his mouth is within easy reach of your foot.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

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 would if this was the case on first load of the site
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.

Many many years ago, at the Cebit fair, I talked to a Herr Doktor Doktor can't remember the name from the Fraunhofer Institut. Yes, the ones that invented mp3.
He claimed that in their extensive blind tests, only very few special people could hear any difference in the sound of mp3s above 128kb.
And that those who could were usually special in more than one way.
I certainly do claim that I can hear the difference between 128kb and 192kb, but I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean he was wrong.

All this talk about the effects of bitrate is very interesting. Thanks!

I can only notice higher quality sound with expensive headphones. If you are listening with earbuds, increased audio fidelity is pointless.
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

If you are listening with earbuds the whole thing is pointless!

So if someone is giving you paid content for free, but with the understanding that you'll accept a few ads in return (so they can, in turn, pay the artists who make the music), and then you break that agreement with them by blocking ads, is that stealing? Or merely cheating them?
I'm not being facetious here: the only way many services can be provided for free is to have someone, somewhere, pay for them for you - and that's often through advertising.
You have your own moral compass to guide you, but please at least think about what ad blocking means. It usually means someone, somewhere, has just paid for you out of their own pocket.
cheers
