  1. Common sense? on Is Tech Bringing Us Closer Together Instead of Allowing Us to Sprawl? · · Score: 1

    Is it not common sense to think that people who are drawn to communication mediums are inherently social? Anyone who has communicated face to face knows that all other forms do little to capture the complexities of human interaction. I'm willing to bet that everyone out there who prefers social networking websites(/cell phones/online chatting/email, etc) over person to person communication is (at least) distantly admiring the latter.
    But then again i'm an audio engineer, not a Master of Philosophy in Economics from Oxford.

  2. gender-neutral pac-person on AI Taught How To Play Ms. Pac-Man · · Score: 3, Funny

    So now we're teaching our AI that it's a round, dot hungry trans-gender Miss-Man being chased by ghosts?

  3. Re:USB? Firewire? on Spec Will Cut External Drive Power Cords · · Score: 2, Informative
    "unless you count FW800, which I will as soon as I see a device that supports it"

    Two Firewire 800 devices that I use every day:

    Lacie external drives http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=10922

    RME Fireface 800 http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_fireface_800.php

    While they don't use the full bandwidth individually, it's nice to be able to chain without worrying about audio/video dropouts.

    So does coupling power with data restrict the potential to chain SATA devices in the future when the bandwidth out paces the drives?
