  1. Re:Better in theory than practice on New Oculus Rift Prototype Features Head Tracking, Reduced Motion Blur, HD AMOLED · · Score: 1

    I think there is a market for maybe five computers in the world.

  2. Re:I didn't have much faith in this project.. on New Oculus Rift Prototype Features Head Tracking, Reduced Motion Blur, HD AMOLED · · Score: 1

    Have you ever tried it? I've been working with the devkit and that's fantastic (until the nose bleeds start at 30 minutes).

    Don't worry gramps, this has to be the dumbest article I've read here in a while.

  4. Re:This thing is DOA on Steam Controller Hands-on · · Score: 0

    I'm a linux fan and a steambox fanboy but the Linux launch titles are pretty shitty.

    Valve's games are okay but there isn't much else worth playing. :(

  5. Re:they had to... on FBI Edits Mission Statement: Removes Law Enforcement As 'Primary' Purpose · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There's no money in law enforcement anymore but national security agencies get a blank check.

  6. Re:Cue the climate change deniers ... on Polar Vortex Sends Life-Threatening Freeze To US · · Score: 1

    Preach on my brotha! Those fools who fail to see the divine truth in global warming will pay dealy for their insolence!

    Freeze you earth killers, freeze to death in the name of global warming and maurice strong!

    It's an overreach *around*.

    If she wanted them to drop the fake counter case, they could dictate the terms.

    Wardell had the made up lawsuit. He used his money to silence the marketing person's lawsuit.

  10. Re:No Faith on Development To Begin Soon On New Star Control Game · · Score: 1

    You do if the other party has a pile of cash and filed a lawsuit they can afford to drag on for years even if it's totally made up.

    On the plus side, Stardock is owned by Brad Wardell. So maybe we'll be able to sexually harass the various characters and oppress lesser races.

  12. Re:has anyone used the 'passive stylus'? on NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 Tested, Fastest Android 4.3 Slate Under $200 · · Score: 1

    I wonder how the stylus compares to the active wacom digitizer in the Galaxy Note?

    I'd expect it's not even comparable but nvidia sure seems to be pimping the "DigitalStylus" feature quite a bit.

  13. Re:benchmark on NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 Tested, Fastest Android 4.3 Slate Under $200 · · Score: 1

    Did you miss the part where it's $200? 1280x720 still provides a good experience for everything a tablet does.

  14. Re:Slashvertisement Alert!! on NVIDIA Tegra Note 7 Tested, Fastest Android 4.3 Slate Under $200 · · Score: 1

    $200 for a nice tablet is news AND inherently an advertisement.

    Maybe they're using TWM and it's a pun?

    Twasnt I, asshole.

    I'm not really a huge ChromeOS fan, I think web apps are made of fail.

  17. Re:Obligatory on The Biggest Tech Mishap of 2013? · · Score: 0

    "OSS" is much bigger than the GPL.

    GPL is mainly Stallman-ish "Free Software" flag waving bearded digital tailban types who don't use the internet because it impinges on their freedoms.

    OSS is everything between that and proprietary software.

  18. Re:Obligatory on The Biggest Tech Mishap of 2013? · · Score: 2

    Windows 8 is definitely helping the cause
    Linux dominates the mobile world with Android
    ChromeOS (another Linux-based operating system) is apparently very popular and already has nearly 25% of new laptop sales in the US
    There's SteamOS which is a big question mark still

    ZOMG It could actually happen in 2014!

  19. Re:We need an Android app that lets you run Window on PC Plus Packs Windows and Android Into Same Machine · · Score: 1

    Yeah I think a nice, supported linux distro that has a stock guest vm install of Windows on it would scare Microsoft shitless. Although, they would probably veto that setup.

    *ahem*, I believe you mean "your wall," right gramps?

  21. Re:Yeah right. on PC Makers Plan Rebellion Against Microsoft At CES · · Score: 1

    Right, because NO ONE used the term "Apps" before OS X was released.

  22. Re:Yeah right. on PC Makers Plan Rebellion Against Microsoft At CES · · Score: 3

    I wouldn't be against a desktop OS built from Android. But Android needs a lot of work to go from mobile devices to the desktop.

  23. Ugh on PC Makers Plan Rebellion Against Microsoft At CES · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Who the fuck wants this? Sure, Windows sucks but why would cramming a shitty OEM version of Android make things better?
