4 seriously. Why did that guy need so many words to write so little? All I know from TFA is that it's a puzzle game. Because he did not support his argument with details, I had to re-read it just to check and see if it wasn't some unfunny gag article. If you're gonna bitch about crappy games, do it right. Watch some of the better episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd for guidance.
Interesting factoid: The popular boardgame Monopoly lists an expired patent number.
I'm a fan of expired patent numbers on modern products simply because they are extremely useful for historical research. They used this exact information in an episode of History Detectives. Granted, they don't mention the fact that they could've just looked up Monopoly on Wikipedia, but the show is trying to tell a good story.
I couldn't agree more. I laughed pretty hard when I first heard about the Spy Museum. "We've already got something far better than that in this area, and it's free."
So basically, if you can't develop social skills you do what every other animal does: Become a predator. And if you fail at that, you learn to write code.
d00d, if the Nazis get ahold of this machine, and are like, "At last, we will be able to hear the word 'coffee' modulated in various funny ways." And then they fire it up, and it causes their heads to melt and/or explode...then that would be awesome.
I've worked with a couple of these people online before. Depending on where you mark the threshhold, there are a few more fusion hobbyists than most people would think. They're good to talk to because they are some of the few hobbyists playing with high vacuum technology (which interests me for the purpose of vacuum metalization, aka evaporative deposition).
I was curious why this article put the feature in the future tense. My months old Lenovo (Y550P) has/had this too. I uninstalled it immediately. Actually, I uninstalled it more because it slowed down the login procedure. (I need to get around to switching it to Linux anyway. Damn my laziness.)
I didn't know the critical ingredient was a mystery. Alton Brown from Good Eats explained the molecule quite well in the rice episode, and my immediate thought was "oh that must be why it was used in mortar for the Great Wall and such."
The Smithsonian wrapped up an exhibit on Jim about a year back. It had some of the scratchpads used to put together these commercials, and the above mentioned training films. Great exhibit. sad to see it go.
Who said anything about a lawsuit? I'm talking about avoiding a conviction. Granted, for reasons I don't understand, some members of government think that suspected terrorists should be treated differently than prescribed by the US constitution. So I'm not talking about that. This is a counterfeit case. I'm talking about standard criminal law. If I'm denied access to a lawyer, once again, the case is thrown out of court.
My point is there is no stick mentioned in this story; no stick was needed. You made up said stick. Your original point is moot. If I was nabbed for counterfeiting, I'd love it if agents tried to beat information out of me. I'd get my lawyer to photograph the bruises and the case would be thrown out of court.
The Woz used to tell stories of him making blueboxes rigged with thermite in case his customers were raided. Complicated true, but much more fun than a hammer.

This idea is totally going to get shot down.

Actually, he's violating Steve Jobs' entirely separate patent on "Thinking for yourself on a computer".
Give this man an Internet! You've made my day.

FTFY.

Oh I see, NXP, a Phillips company...you should be ashamed of yourself for this joke. Seriously. Wow.
This video was amazing, thanks for the link! A must-see for any fans of 1960s Venture Brothers type super-science.

Because mobs are never smart enough to profit from the Internet?
Well done, you beat me to this answer.

N900 isn't 100% open source, but at least they're striving to continue opening as much as possible. And yeah, I'm perfectly happy with mine too.
yeah, but Eisbock sounds WAY cooler than "extreme beer", and doesn't itself have the word "beer" in it.

If you freeze distill it, then it stops being beer in my book. If you freeze distill hard cider, it's not "extreme cider", it's friggin' applejack.

Good point. "Poo" would save valuable syllabants!
