  1. Re:Even GPU costs more on Startup Aims For $99, Android-Powered TV Game Console · · Score: 1

    http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ak802-mini-android-4-0-network-media-player-w-wi-fi-hdmi-tf-usb-black-4gb-1gb-ddr-iii-143431?r=20144190

    And yet something already exists, and for cheaper.

    I'm getting a Mele A1000... but yes, my thoughts exactly Shikaku.

  2. Re:I was way off! on Credible Reports of a 7.85 Inch iPad Mini Emerge · · Score: 1

    Ahhhh, now it makes sense. Yes, Metric is how the rest of the planet measures things.
    Well the parts that have people with money that buy Apple products anyway.

  3. Re:Oh Wow! on SNESDev-RPi: a SNES Adapter For the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1

    Well if you can't wait for the Pi you could always get a VIA APC http://apc.io/about/ .... Haha, trololo, nope that's made in micro-batches to.
    Seriously though there are some cheap ARM based boards out there to play with.
    I'm waiting on a Mele A1000 (it's been shipped) and I didn't need to add myself to a mailing list lottery (or is it FIFO?) for it.

  4. Invasion of privacy? on Ask Slashdot: Are Smart Meters Safe? · · Score: 1

    Like they could tell if a girl I had over was strapped to a Sybian naked or something?

  5. Re:stopped using it? on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 1

    I use some sort of hybrid Quick Launch that Win7 has. I have a lot more control over it and can have multiple lists. But I still use the Start Button. I don't use pinning. Is this an age thing? I'm old school, I still use the command prompt... Where did MS-DOS edit go btw?

  6. That reminds me of a funny story... on Are We Failing To Prepare Children For Leadership In the US? · · Score: 1

    About the grown man that got on the wrong plane and nearly had a nervous break-down when he landed in Mongolia instead of Taiwan. I can't find the original article told in his own sissy words instead the news article following is a kinder version of events. http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/2006-04-06-strange-trip_x.htm

  7. Jesus is the only REAL super-hero! on University Students Become Superheroes To Teach STEM Education · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm trolling.

  8. You want to what? on Ask Slashdot: How To Introduce Someone To Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    How can they not know what Star Trek is? Unless they are Tibetan monks or an indigenous tribe from the deepest Amazon... are they that? Either your drawn to it and seek it out or you find it repugnant. Not just Star Trek mind you. There's plenty of pop-culture and music that some people love that other people think debase the entire human race. Like the TNG movie Nemesis.

  9. Is it just me? on Belief In Hell Predicts a Country's Crime Rates Better Than Other Factors · · Score: 1

    Or did anybody else start bleeding out of their ears and nose trying to make sense of the graphs in that paper?

  10. Re:Already been overturned. on Primary School Girl Told To Stop Photographing and Blogging School Meals · · Score: 1

    The Fall of Martha Payne. She'll be blogging in bullet time now.

  11. That sure is a nice university you have there. on Minecraft Map of Northwestern Campus Printed In 3D · · Score: 1

    SSSsssssss! Ahem, anyway, what's with all the bum hurt in the posts? Modeled the university and made a physical model cheaply, win win. Looks better than the dioramas I see in museums.

  12. Re:770,000 parsecs? on Andromeda On Collision Course With the Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Another possibility, it's not a speed challenge but a navigational one. Find the shortest flight path between two points in a asteroid field.

  13. Just a reminder for ORCIDs on All Researchers To Be Allocated Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    This has nothing, repeat nothing, to do with World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings.

  14. Re:Dear USA on US Ordered To Hand Over Megaupload Documents · · Score: 1

    I for one will not tolerate these terrorist actions from a rogue state. I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to the UN.

  15. Prepare to have your mind blown... on Supreme Court Rules Julian Assange May Be Extradited · · Score: 1

    It was because of the actions of Julian Assange and Bradley Manning that Osama Bin Laden was finally tracked down. They released files about Afghanistan which than forced the DoD/CIA to go through them looking for people that might be put in danger. It was only then that the CIA realized that they had the name of Osama's courier and from that tracked down were he was and finally were Osama was hiding. Now some have spun this as, "Bradley Manning forced them to move up their schedule" but that's giving way too much credit to the CIA. I think it was more likely those papers would of got filed, archived, and forgotten. Therefore for their heroic deeds they should both receive the medal of honor and the bounty on Osama's head.

  16. Forget Cantonese on Ask Slashdot: Find a Job In China For Non-native Speaker? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Unless your going to work in Canton (Guangzhou) and even then it's not the national language. It is a pretty nifty language though. Very flowery with lots of bizarre colloquialisms. But then again maybe I'm offering toilet paper to one urinating.

  17. This article serves as a stark reminder. on Sci-fi Writer Elizabeth Moon Believes Everyone Should Be Chipped · · Score: 1

    Of how much Sci-Fi is really out there and how so much of it is poorly written crap.

  18. Re:Mental Disorder? on SAP VP Arrested In False Barcode Scheme · · Score: 1

    I don't see him as a kleptomaniac. I call bull on that. If he was hoarding the Lego and if there was no rhyme or reason to what he stole then yes. But he didn't do that. He stole a particular thing and then sold it. Those are the actions of a calculating mind. He's more likely a case study of what emerged out of modern psychology a few years ago that the biggest players in business, CEO, etc are sociopaths.

  19. Re:It's stupid to compare to Facebook's profit on Facebook IPO Stumbles Out of the Gate · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does anyone have a toothpick? I have AstroTurf stuck in my teeth from reading that. I lived through the dot-com boom... Facebook is great and it will/can make money, but I haven't seen this much hype since Pets.com

  20. Re:Quiet? Lonely? on Canadian Internet Surveillance Dies a Quiet, Lonely Death · · Score: 1

    Quiet and Lonely, just like Vic Toews is now. The whole thing was a "Gold Dig 'Em" tactic. He was going through an ugly divorce (he cheated on his wife, probably a big deal for a Mennonite) and so he stirred shit and made people him hate him for something else. But it back-fired on him. Now he's both seen as an adulterer scum and a wannabe Nazi. Much more the latter because of his time as the Federal Minister of Justice where he tried to draft draconian laws. Well less a Nazi, more a clueless old man out of touch with reality. He wanted to decrease crime but couldn't understand why just doubling prison sentences wouldn't have that affect.

  21. So what do they do again? on Moving From CouchDB To MySQL · · Score: 1

    They do cross-browser testing. Right? I can't really figure out what they sell or why I would want it. The real question, "Why haven't I started a mismanaged company with ambiguous products?"

  22. Re:Fail on ZeroTouch Sensor: Ready For Large Televisions and Gaming · · Score: 2

    Besides the laziness, I think a thick mixture of Cheeto dust, kiddy prints, sticky drinks, and buffalo wing sauce will render touch-screen TV unwatchable. I think this will fall under the "Fridges that have TVs in them" category of appliances. Great idea, looked awesome at the tech expo... why is no one buying them?
