  1. The NES repair returns!

  2. Personally, I would point at the use of a BGA package being the issue, those things have been shown not to last through temperature cycling and physical deformation very well.

    How would that work? Samsung Pay works by modulating a magnetic field that transmits the card's mag stripe to the sensor in the pay terminal, how would it not work elsewhere?

    If you use the Facebook app, it has a feature to turn off the autoplaying videos as you are expected to be on mobile data networks, and they don't want you to incur a huge bill as it would reflect negatively on them.

    I wish they would understand that NO ONE likes autoplaying videos, but many companies don't seem to get that (CNN is horrible about it, to the point of working around autoplay blockers).

    You know, there are very few people alive today who have EVER owned slaves? Blaming each successive generation for what was done hundreds of years ago prevents you from ever moving forward.

    Also, were you aware that there were slaves of other races than Black? There were Irish slaves, Chinese slaves, and many other races. Why is it you don't make the same arguments for the plight of the Chinese man in America today being cause by the slavery they were put under to build the transcontinental railroad?

    Wouldn't Sandra Bullock make more sense for the specific environment? Though I have to say George Clooney was a far more likable character in that movie.

    I am impressed we can communicate with those sats so close in angle to the Sun. I would think the Sun would drown out the carrier frequencies and make locking onto the spacecraft's signals damn hard.

  13. This error actually highlights this problem. This isn't a problem with Excel, it is a problem with the keyboard chair interface (user error for non IT people). If you change the data type of the field to Text, it will correct the entire issue. Excel is merely helping you with data entry, it can't help it that the short name of certain genes look like scientific notation or dates, it is a function of the program.

    Funny, I went to test this out, and copied and pasted 2310009E13, which for some reason, Chrome (or Excel on the backend?) converted to scientific notation on copy. I had to do Paste Special in Excel to paste that entry into a Text field. The other issue I saw is that if the field was General when you typed it, it is already too late, it has to be Text when you paste the data or it converts it to date notation in text as well.

  14. Afraid it might autocorrect Hillary to be Hitler?

    VR =/= AR. Show me any competing device that does AR, which is displaying pictures over top of the actual background. This device does something that VR headsets cannot do.

    Last I checked, VR headsets are not see through.

    That article seems to give a detailed accounting of the numbers and what they mean. Yes it includes retired, but also it is higher than it has been in a very long time, so what does it matter? The number of retirees hasn't exploded enough to explain the rise of non participating people, it is however an indicator for the people who were cut out of the unemployment numbers because they still haven't found jobs. This article also has the numbers of people working part time who want full time jobs, which is a very disappointing number as well.

    Only 27% of gamers are below 18. Perhaps you should rethink your life, many people enjoy video games and derive pleasure out of beating the latest video game.

    What I find more odd though is the >50 demographic. They didn't grow up with video games, but are a huge demographic.

    It is a hell of a lot cheaper to upgrade a computer than to upgrade a console.

    OMG, the Google grammar checker tells me a lot should be alot...since when?! The spell check says alot is wrong though...they need to take a look at their algorithm.

  20. Your opinion is noted, however, the courts are not bound by your opinion on the matter. The fact is that Gawker posted a sex video of someone without their permission. This is an actual felony charge in many states. Gawker thumbed their nose at the courts and was smacked down for it.

    The funny thing though is how they were flipping out about the Jennifer Lawrence pictures, but then had the gall to post a sex tape.

  21. Well, it would make sense...someone has to please her since he obviously is too busy, and likely incapable.

    I can't say I have ever seen that issue, are you sure your computer isn't compromised?

    I would suggest running http://housecall.trendmicro.co... to see if it finds anything (if you are using Windows at least). The reason to use that is that it bypasses the viruses that have bypassed your installed virus scanner. You could also use other scanners, but that is a good starting point.

  25. On top of that, he has broken no US laws, so why the conspiracy theory keeps getting talked about I never understood. If the US wanted to extradite him, why the extradition to Sweden first? Why not just extradite from UK, the US's closest allies?
