  1. Re:Could have used one many times this month. on From Austria, the World's Smallest 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    dishwasher wheel can be made with a drill (preferably drill press), a bit of round stock plastic, and a sharp chisel

    putty epoxy and little thought

    gas caps cost like what 20 bucks for a locking model

    cheap toys? go to dollar tree, might not poison little johnny with chemical residue from half melted plastic and fibrous threads

    its not 1200$ thats 1200 euros dink

  3. Re:Scotty, beam me down on From Austria, the World's Smallest 3D Printer · · Score: 2

    if you bothered to read the 1 page article you would know its not cheaper than the Rep Rap, it weighs in at 1200 euros

    BUT! the rep rap is at best a toy with little practical use outside of a hobby market, this on the other hand could be used for light commercial applications

  4. 2 things on Microsoft Adds Chrome Support For Office Web Apps · · Score: 1

    1) there is enough shit on the ribbon interface as it is without a google bar, yahoo bar, ask bar, porn bar ... ok maybe not the porn bar
    2) google is kind of on my shit list as their recent "improvement" makes me now dance around logins and outs just because I dare have a personal account and a work account with them

    meh

  5. PR on Worm Descendants From Columbia Disaster Relaunched · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Is the "descendants" of some apparently pretty common worms that are well studied really worth sending into space? I wouldn't be so anti NASA if they quit wasting our time and money on flat out bullshit. Instead of packing these missions (commercials) with "this is your last chance to do anything meaningful with the shuttle, make it count" type of things we are sprouting seeds in space, watching worms float, and dragging junk up to the ISS cause no one else can (due to contracts, politics and nothing else)

  6. woot on Public Face of Anonymous Leaves Group · · Score: 5, Funny

    drama from something that doesn't even exist, ladies and gentlemen we have hit web 3.0

    "You're not really proving me wrong here"
    um, yea he kind of owned you, ps celphones are not particle emitters, there is no physical bit of matter leaving your antenna, think of it as being shot in the face with an airzooka, vs being shot in the face with a bullet

  10. I like the current windows UI on Ultramobile PC To Make a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    its much better than the old standard, but lets be realistic, its still pretty kludgey with a mouse and a giant screen, I cant imagine how poorly it would do on such a tiny interface with that high of a resolution

  11. Re:True, but $5 are still worse... on HDMI Brands Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    1 they are not, and 2 how the hell do you expect 3 people to use 4+ services at once

    OMFG little brat cant wait to rot his brain ... when I grew up we only had one tv with a vcr and colecovision hooked up to it, somehow we did not murder each other

    now get off my lawn you over privileged little snot

  12. Love that artist rendering on NASA's Underwater Training Facility · · Score: 1

    What was that done on a 386? looks like a cut scene from a playstation 1 game

  13. well on Endeavour Launch Now Slated For Monday · · Score: -1, Troll

    Has it broken a billion dollars yet?

    were wasting a fuckton of money on a ceremony and cockroaches fucking in space along with other pointless grade school horse shit "experiments", but I heard some nut job on fox news radio getting red in the face pissed off because we are going to spend 2 million in a school to watch kids eating habits, amazing isnt it folks?

    Screw NASA, they are a old and tired relic from the cold war, they have stifled private innovation in the field, and stunted any growth for 30 years, its time for them to go

  14. Re:True, but $5 are still worse... on HDMI Brands Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    yea and here there is only 1 360, you can either fucking wait your turn or piss off, we dont play the ME ME ME and take my shit with me! game

  15. Re:True, but $5 are still worse... on HDMI Brands Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    no, if someone wants to use the 360 they can use it on the tv, if the tv is occupied they can ask and or wait

    I do not believe in loaning my stuff out, and you can live without video games and it sets a better example than ME NOW attitudes

  16. Re:True, but $5 are still worse... on HDMI Brands Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    I hardly move the devices connected to the tv, and good point about the students, how does that compare to the number of people who have these things bolted to the wall?

  17. Re:no on HDMI Brands Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    I have yet to figure out the mod system, lets say its sitting at 0 with no mod activity, I come along and mark it funny which then changes to +1 informative, it might as well be random

  22. Re:Tired of all this Arduino crap on The Arduino Project Gets a Core Memory Accessory · · Score: 2

    Parallax and MSP? what the FUCK are YOU smoking?

    Parallax what 80 bucks for an even shittier pic chip loaded with basic and a dope baggie of leds? Oh the propeller a proprietary chunk that is really only good for a few video applications, the crap cant even handle a ISR without hogging up an entire 32 bit cpu core for polling?

    then the MSP, yea whats that launch pad, like 12 bytes of ram, 6 nano amp loads on the pins, 800$ toolchains and waiting 6 months hoping TI doesnt fuck your order up? there is a winner
