    hogwash in computer years its a billion, its like the Greeks fighting with static electricity on their amber everything, then in 2011 some kids think "well duh we must have been so stupid to not think of a generator based on this concept of statk electricity!"

    sounds like a high school 4 person group project in electronics class, oh wait we did a lower resolution version of this back in 1994 as a time killer semester, what "innovations" do we do now?

    nasa plant seedlings and cockroach fucking in space? oh some dipshit found a use for a IR photo-transistor from radio shack? what's next? canned food? bandages?

    for fucks sake America this is the best we have?

  6. Re:ok on Consumer Device With Open CPU Out of Beta Soon · · Score: 1

    heh nothing, but shit man this is hardly the first FPGA open source computer, its not even really that practical, name 1 situation where a low powered SBC is really going to use TV input AND midi while driving a vga display, besides does anyone even use midi any more? We dropped it off our product line ~4 years ago and no one has noticed

    heck I just got a bag full of free standing midi voice boxes out of our dumpster for scrap parts today as they were cleaning out the storage room

  8. ok on Consumer Device With Open CPU Out of Beta Soon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    yea ok I will admit this is the first time I have seen an open source CPU, but that is becuase the rest of us would have grabbed a fpga and not wasted a bunch of time.

    I will also admit that this is cool as shit after calling it a waste of time, its a bit of both I guess

    I just tried it, its better than 4.0 but I wouldn't call it working great, great does not require me to spend a significant amount of time on google to figure out how to move an icon around the desktop

I dont even know why they need this, there is a billion of you numbnuts signing up for the fucking service freely

    yea I love LXDE, other than having to do a tweak or 2 (auto login,mainly) its just about perfect "out of the box" though I still have not quite found out how to stick the trash can on my desktop...

    just what do you think a MMC controller is really doing? its nothing special, some data lines and a clock, stick it in SPI mode with a 25MHz clock and you have most of what you need for a raster line display
