Well excuse me if I don't feel the need to experience continuous eyegasms from the 198 trillion polygons per pixel every time I play a PC game. The game is fun.
You guys are arguing whether it's more bothersome to set up a one-time sync or to plug in a device each time you use it? Jesus f*cking Christ we're pampered these days. Oh no, I have to park my Ferrari two whole parking spaces away from the door to go get my caramel macchiato...
To be fair, my originally suggested title was "Machining a TI-89 Aluminum" or some such thing. As in, "TI-89 Aluminum edition." The mod probably interpreted it as poor grammar. Oh well.
It wasn't breaking the battery cover that was the problem. One of the metal battery spring things (you can tell I'm not an EE...) that make the electrical connection broke off.
There's nothing I love more than an asterisk that never leads anywhere. They seem to really like to do that in ads these days. Or has it turned into a kind of "buyer beware, this-is-an-outright-lie sarcasm mark"?
There's a difference between spending money, and spending more money to buy a product with features that you know the user isn't going to take advantage of, with a non-standard interface to boot. The opposite of the latter is called efficiency.
Because buying a computer that costs easily over a thousand dollars and has a way different interface than the mainstream one, for grandparents that are probably going to use it to just send emails, makes SO much sense...
So how many people have noticed that in their "instead of paying $X a month, pay $Y a year!" commercials, the savings is actually only like 24 cents a year? Wow, that's totally enough to motivate me to switch RIGHT NOW.
Oligopolies in our democtatorship? Oh noes!! If there's more than one legitimate choice, it's not a monopoly. And just because a company is run by more than one person, I wouldn't call the market an oligarchy.
In formal writing, sure. I was talking about day-to-day conversation, newspapers etc. but upon closer inspection see that that was a bit offtopic. Sorry about that.

When and how was Wikileaks attacked?
If the Slashdot headlines are any indication, Wikileaks has been being continuously attacked for awhile now.
I suppose I also missed the advent of a unified world government, last I checked the governments of the world...
There's no need for a world government: the U.S. one (okay, more like the MPAA) is pushing everybody around enough in regards to filesharing as it is.
it is a critical vulnerability fix, two minutes too late
Homonym irony?

The army. Geez, didn't you watch the movies?

CDDL doesn't prevent you from using their code, GPL prevents you from using CDDL code.
The CDDL was a modification of the Mozilla license specifically made to be incompatible with the GPL.
They will probably fly a few dozen planes into Iran and bomb the snot out of every facility they have intelligence on.
Depending on the number of facilities and the general touchiness of Iran, which is not likely to be low...
Then you are a clueless twat.
It's called civility, something a that seems to get forgotten around here
No kidding.

So weird to hear "insensitive clod" used around here in a context where it's actually totally true...
Because buying a computer that costs easily over a thousand dollars and has a way different interface than the mainstream one, for grandparents that are probably going to use it to just send emails, makes SO much sense...
Which is still one "minor" (3.5) and one "minor minor" (3.6) release out-of-date...and 4.0 is already in beta.
Your signature is particularly appropriate in this situation :-)

example
Yes, obviously the best way to get dollar coins into circulation is to come out with a collectible series of them. Oh wait...
My vehicle has zero computers in it
Really? What model year is it, 1960? Does the term "embedded system" mean anything to you?
We don't need no sticking fail-sa
I agree; we don't need any fail-safes that stay stuck in the fail-safed position after the situation has been rectified :-)
...and if you *want* to view porn on you phone?
So what happens if you refuse to pay? Do they browbeat you into changing your mind? And what did you decide to do?

+1 Twilight Bashing more like it.

I thought you would take it better this way than if I was to point out each individual error.
