    thanks captain obvious

  2. Re:Atari 800 in FPGA on TMS9918A Retro Video Chip Reimplemented In FPGA, With VGA Out · · Score: 1

    everyone except the tandy series used a 555 timer based circuit for paddle and analog joystick control, nevermind its trivial to do analog even in 1980

  3. The ColecoVision didnt use a 9918A on TMS9918A Retro Video Chip Reimplemented In FPGA, With VGA Out · · Score: 1

    it used a TMS9928A, hand over your nerd card now!

    ok its the same chip just with RGB output though the Coleco didnt use RGB, which has really confused me, most of the computers use the 18 which spits out compostite, where RGB would be preferred, the Coleco used an RGB chip and summed it together into composite, talk about ass backwards.

  6. Depends on the company on What Does a Software Tester's Job Constitute? · · Score: 0

    for instance at Microsoft it means filling out a piece of paper and playing XBOX all day, or at Electronic Arts oh wait they dont even need them cause all they do is add one to the year and update an xml file, and at apple they do whatever they are told to.

  7. Re:"Linux Command Line Tirckery" HA! on Windows 8 Features With Linux Antecedents · · Score: 1

    well I still use gnome2 so its just a matter of editing a file, I really wouldn't call that a limiting factor in nix land, windows on the other hand yea

  8. Re:What bugs me is... on Windows 8 Features With Linux Antecedents · · Score: 1

    yea but those royalties are for (some stupid patents I will grant you that) things that have existed on windows mobile platforms in the past, the ac is worried that they are going to grandfather it in which I doubt

  15. I find best buy to be frustrating on The Gradual Death of the Brick and Mortar Tech Store · · Score: 2

    The closest one to me is a good 40 min away, and when you get there its almost a circus of disorganization. Example when you walk into our location theres geek squad, and some networking on the first isle, then pens and paper and post-it notes, then printers, then celphone accessories, then laptops then camera accessories, oh then celphones, then laptop accessories and on and on until your in the back of the store looking for the power supply you went there for in the first place they are out ... even though their website says in stock in that store.

    so while you are somewhat forced to check every fucking isle cause they are now interweaving departments, that way you wont miss some stupid gadget you dont want, you cant find anyone to answer a simple question cause all 3 of them are busy upselling the newest HP laptop and your wasting your time cause these people wouldn't know what they have in stock even if they were paid to.

    Hm sounds just like compUSA doesnt it?

    The only reason I ever go in there anymore is because once in a while you can find a openbox or floor model deal, which is why I have a stainless steel microwave that only cost 35 bucks, but its at the very bottom of my list to even consider when I am out to get something specific.

  16. Before you quit! on Ask Slashdot: Where Are the Open Source Jobs? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Let me know where your working, I need a job, and I am not about to let a operating system pissing contest keep me from taking yours.

    why should you be able to barrow against unrealised income? it may or may not have the same value in a week, its really just bullshit and fluff and should not be allowed to be leaned on, or its real and taxable. I dont care either way sounds fine to me

    hm I bet the taxes on that enabled someone to buy 1 billion dollar boat would buy some fucking paper towels, and where did I ever ask for more spending? you flew off on a tangent like I wrote a fucking propesition numbnuts

    its just a comment, dont worry your pretty little head over it, I will continue paying the deficit you can still get a new jet this time with teak insead of mahognony

  20. and yet... on The Zuckerberg Tax · · Score: 0

    we get to watch a significant portion of our pathetic little pay-checks fly off to some magical place while driving home on shit roads and getting bum rushed every year cause schools cant afford things like paper towels.

    awesome isnt it

  21. People have been pirating stuff on File Sharing In the Post MegaUpload Era · · Score: 4, Informative

    on computers since there were computers, 1 website is not going to stop them, all websites will not stop them, what will stop them is a change in how things are done.
    If people are "too cheap" to buy your product maybe your product is too expensive.
    If people are getting pirate copies of your software to avoid the iron fisted DRM bullshit, well maybe get rid of your DRM bullshit.
    If people are downloading your movie to watch once then never again maybe you should make it easier for people to watch.

    just a thought that no one making this shit wants to hear

    well if I wanted to spend all my time to do something fucking simple I would, but at 10pm last night when I wanted to see a 437 codepage on a serial terminal putty was there. how bout you post some useful information instead of being an elitist tool?

  24. Sounds like "the media" on RIAA Chief Whines That SOPA Opponents Were "Unfair" · · Score: 1

    just didnt do a good job, the only thing I heard on CBS (for instance) was on the blackout day a 20 second mumbling and "CBS supports the bill" and nothing else. You guys can claim Google and Others did not fight fair, even though they were right, but it sounds like your being a sore looser cause your team forfeited.

    no, it does absolutely nothing on mint 10 and 11, I highlight text which is suposta copy and paste it into gedit nothing, I copy from gedit click the wheel in putty nothing. would a right click menu kill them or do they have to be special?
