    Haven't seen one yet?? They have a software application that runs on Blackberry and (I think) Android devices that is essentially just a "software fob"...

  3. Re:Solution on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 0

    That was my solution, also. At work, I have two 24" wides that run 1200x1920. I browse the web and write code on these (94 lines on a single page!!!). I also have two old 19" 1600x1200 that I use to display Outlook and various consoles (VIC, etc). Works great for business use (I'm not gaming on these). At home, my PC is connected to my TV, a 55" Sony 120hz 1080p LCD running 1920x1080. Yes, I'd like it to be a bit taller for web browsing, but it plays movies and games without a single hiccup, so I'm not complaining. All-in-all, if you build a system with a purpose in mind, it will serve that purpose very well.

    Maybe Intel hates them as much as we all do, and they bought them just to shut them down, because they could afford to... It's good to have dreams. :)

    425? Mine is 520 on a stock bottom end with nothing but 7.5 #'s on a twin screw and new injectors. They'll go a lot farther, too, but you need to seriously consider a crank.. :)

  8. Re:Less than one percent... on The Fuel Cost of Obesity · · Score: 0

    I beg to differ. I have a 2006 GT (GT, not GT500) that makes 520 HP. I know someone that has a GT that makes over 1000, and I know of several more as well. Sure, sure, you could make that old engine get one HP/cube, but the new GT's start ABOVE that already. My 2006 when it was stock was 300, and it is 281 cubes. If we want to talk about REAL Mustangs, a friend has a 1970 Boss 429 is his stable.. Grabber blue.. Beautiful car!

  9. Re:Boo Effin Hoo on High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay · · Score: 1

    Have you ever even BEEN to NYC? Having spent the first 30 years of my life in Buffalo, NYC was just down the road. Street-corner vendors were selling BOTTLED WATER for $5/bottle in 2001. TEN YEARS AGO! I don't even want to imagine what things cost there now. What I do know is that I was offered a job there in 2007 for $120k. I went and looked online, and to get a comparable apartment to the one I was living in, it would have cost me $3400/month. In Buffalo, I was paying $625. No thank you.

  11. Re:Still unfair.. on Google To Add Pay To Cover a Tax For Gays · · Score: 1

    How does getting a tax deduction for having kids equate to education? School taxes are separate, and are levied by the local government, they don't have anything to do with the exorbitant federal writeoffs that families get. I, too, have no children, and what do I get for it? Apparently, I have earned the right to pay for your children. Bullshit. If you want kids, you pay for them. If I wanted them, I'd have them, and no amount of tax writeoff is going to incenticize me to do so. Children should be a lifestyle choice, not a financial one. BTW - to say that I've benefitted from a society that educates it's children is a joke all by itself. Apparently you haven't spoken to many children recently.

  12. Home Theater PC on What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV? · · Score: 1

    I built a Home Theater PC. Silverstone makes some great looking HTPC cases, I got a black one that matches everything else. Optical drive is CD/DVD/DVD-RW/HD-DVD/BluRay combo, fanless power supply from ThermalTake, 1TB SATA hard disk, 4GB RAM, 1GB nVidia HDMI video card, and wireless LAN (onboard) and I was off to the races. It also doubles as a jukebox (using iTunes). I don't pass TV video through it, so I use the cable company's DVR for that, but I can stream NetFlix, or watch YouTube, or DVDs or BR or HD-DVD (short-lived, I know, but there are still some floating about, and the drive didn't cost any more than a BR-only at the time). Keyboard and mouse duties are handled by a RocketFish RF keyboard and optical mouse. CyberDVD is the DVD/BR playback software (came with the drive - works GREAT).
