I am not a elite C coder, I use arduino, I use v-usb on arduino yea theres a lib for that, the lib's on teensy are the same magic scary C stuff, just with the external hardware on chip
move on past the blinking led and sparkfun serial lcd, there is a whole world you can mess with even with an arduino
its a mass produced product from a consumer company using off the shelf parts with a consumer friendly OS that any yutz can get from a local dealership
also just cause your easily impressed does not make me instantly retarded
apple dominated, threw it away, disappeared for 30 years, and now makes consumer gadgets for over-privileged ypuuies, and while they might dominate that niche market, apple has been nothing but a smoke n mirrors producer who really should have died back in the 90's with every other walled garden propitiatory tech company

yea its called an emulator they will probally pack in once they figure out what os they are going to use, dont worry they will figure that out after you buy one, some time...
I never cared for KDE, its always been heavy and to me a pita to use, gnome was my choice as it was semi close to a windows type environment but even now its getting heavier, I just installed mint 10 with gnome on my older "work bench" computer and it feels like windows 7 on an atom, keeping in mind this is not that old of a machine (2gig ddr 1 8x agp gf7600gt amd x64 2ghz)
I just got done installing mint LXDE on my craptop and gee its useable, no waiting on gnome menus to drag ass into place, no more waiting for applications to redraw the screen a line at a time, just the change of desktop and its freaking faster than that same computer with XP on it
when I was in high school media play (remember them?) was selling cd's for like 10 or 12 bucks and I bought a royal fuckton of them then after a couple years they went back to 20+ bucks and I have not bought a new CD in darn near 15 years
I just watched my company spend 4 grand on a forklift battery, and it took a forklift to pull it out, now you suggest my mom do that once on the way to work and once on the way back?
My entire life experience with that place is a fucking headache
Cant find a parking spot cause some "designer" made the place all artsy and then sucked up 2/3s of it with a dumb ass gas station
Oh its 12 outside and dumping sleet, cant fucking walk on the sidewalk cause they fortified it with shit you will never ever buy, watch out for traffic
Jumping over the mountain of fortified crap, soaked in ice nearly ran over by cars you go in to the wonderful smell of garbage and nasty looking carts, picking one that is the least covered in green sticky shit (its called a hose, use it once in a while)
walk in to find out you cant go anywhere cause there is so much shit by the in the isles you have exactly 18 inches from a display and either another display or a fucking post and if one person stops your stuck
garbage bags in the middle of baking supplies, pet foot touching roach poison, shit meat selection, play their stupid card game, understaffed registers (and god help you if you ask for a pack of smokes) I would rather staple my tongue than step foot in one
well to a point that has been true for a while, in the 90's you went to play datona in the cockpit, you plaid Samuri Showdown or Street Fighter 2 in the arcade for the experiance, and you could not afford the big machines, in the 80's while you diddled with super mario the 16 bit big expensive machines were out, you went to arcades to get that bigger better experience, even in the late 70's yea you could get pong, but it was so much more fun while half drunk with your buddies
what is killing arcades is the sheer lack of intrest, and not really by patrons either, there is a large arcade with tons of old school through "current' games, and the place is jam packed, the problem is the "current" games came out 10+ years ago, and while good games never die, your not going out of your way to play on a dreamcast with a jet ski controller nearly as much as you did when showing up to an arcade gave you a chance of playing something new and interesting
I am not worried about the FCC spying on us, I am worried that they are using off the shelf hardware with well known "hacker" firmware, to me it sounds like they are sending out 10,000 government approved bot clients with the hopes of gathering quality data after they epically failed with a freaking map over services they are regulating to the point of strangling any competition.
Shouldnt these ass hats KNOW already? cant they get data from what, all 5 ISP's in the sates? and if they don't trust that data why cant they just choke hold them some more to get correct data? why are they so clueless to the thing they are supposedly in control of?
and was not concerned with a bit of security to the people that will be using one, + what I was getting at is netgear has a bad rep of only lasting a few months at best, I know I keep buying them refurb for 19$ usually twice a year for work who are too cheap to get anything decent

with a larger screen new case internals, and more powerful video hardware, sounds just like every other model 2 ever made to me
oh shit they never released a 2? hm what about the The Osborne-2 "Executive" or the The Osborne-4 "Vixen" both covered in last weeks article

Apple's plan is to do the same thing they have done since day one
big surprise, apple relies on their dealership network! next you will be telling me that they are going to make their products stylish and easy to use
