    Not that great though.

    Thought I saw an energy drink of some kind with the name as well at my local hipster soda shop.

  3. Re:Why? by hawguy · · Score: 3, Funny · on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM"

    you must have a tiny-ass mug then. I Have a Cuisinart maker that grinds, and has a 4 cup setting, which perfectly fills my travel mug.

    that is by biggest complaint about the Keurig - to fill a decent size mug, you need 2 cups on the large setting. at that point you get into the Buy at coffee shop kinda price per cup.

    I think you meant to reply to the grandparent poster. I don't have a tiny-ass mug, I have a tiny ass-mug.

  4. Incredible by gargleblast · · Score: 1 · on 5-Year Mission Continues After 45-Year Hiatus

    The attention to detail in the sets, costumes, and even lighting is incredible.

    Just by the way, if it's incredible I won't bother watching.

  5. I love this stuff by Teppy · · Score: 5, Informative · on Solowheel is for People Who Think a Segway is Boring (Video)

    I just got a Solo Wheel - it's harder to learn than you'd expect by looking at the videos (way, WAY harder than learning to ride a Segway, which was pretty much instantaneous for me.) But it's an absolute blast once you do learn, and the one nice day that I've ridden around in public, I had dozens of strangers coming up to me and asking all sorts of questions.

    I really want one of the RYNO Motors gadgets next - planning to ride one of those all over Burning Man.

    And this thing looks like a blast as well, but those treads look dangerous as hell!

    I couldn't use it as currency and all it did is hurt my ass.

    I hope this helps.

  7. Re:The real reason's for the riots by Hognoxious · · Score: 2 · on The London Riots and Facial Recognition Technology

    So just to be clear, your logic is that since the system works for some people, the system must be working for everyone?

    Nope. It's that if the system was as broken as you claim, it wouldn't work for anyone.

    If I have a USB drive[1] that doesn't work in any computer, what do you conclude? If it works in some computers but not others, what do you conclude then?

    [1] like this one, if it makes it any easier.

  8. Re:If you want *good* - arcade controllers by DaneM · · Score: 1 · on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming?

    Here are some links to (1) a really nice, (and not *too* pricey) arcade console controller for USB; and (2) a modern gamepad with a port for plugging in original Atari controllers.
