  5. Re:PCs sold without a video card on Consumers Buy Less Tech Stuff, Keep It Longer · · Score: 1

    yea LAPTOPS were one of the first to come with tv out built in, most onboard gpu's have that too, and is now being replaced with HDMI, I have 4 right now sitting in the closet made tween 2000 and 2005 and they ALL have tv output

    i am not arguing with you about readability, but your being a flat out dipshit thinking its some magic thing to put video from a computer onto a TV, its been available for decades, its been standard for at least 1

    and this "obscure" pc to tv adapter really?

  8. Re:I don't think so on Ask Slashdot: Is the Recycle Bin a Good GUI Metaphor? · · Score: 0

    so your saying that icons do not represent documents, media files, or actions, only applications?

    why, dos had that, 1 reboot and its gone, it was a royal pain in the ass

    none of the icons on your desktop have a fixed position, its done that way because we do not all organize the same way, PC still stands for personal computer right? and screen space? really? today its typical to have a minimum of 1024x768 resolution and that what 32x32 or 48x48 icon is eating up too much space, I dont buy it

    no one has really subscribed to drag n drop in a really long time outside of file management, which ok yea does include the recycle bin but most people just hit the X icon at the top of the window, it was placed there for a reason

    I fail to see how having or not having a trash can is better in any way for anyone, this notion of "i dont need it cause if it was important it would be engraved on backup" is really quite silly, there are plenty of times I delete something and oops I actually need 1 more thing out of that, insta delete would decrease my productivity in that case cause I would need to get the source again for 1 minor little thing right before I am done

    on the other hand right clicking once in a while is not taking a fuckton of my life where I can not be productive that I want that convenience removed all together

    I have never personally tested it on reentry, just for extra safety I would use gorilla tape, though I have confidence they have gorilla tape, after all the cost's of this (do what again? oh yea add a storage shed to the station) mission I doubt they bought the cheap stuff.

    It is the death slot on most networks, that is because a lot of normal people go out and do things on Friday night. sissy fissy does not have that problem, rather they have nerds write full page articles bitching about a network most of us stopped even bothering to look at over a decade ago.

    yea your right, no one makes street fighter, king of fighters, capcom vs marvel or any other old fighting games anymore

    Mortal Kombat was released as a me too game, they just upped it one with bad blood and digitized actors, now its Oh !! me too, again after everyone has released theirs, its not one of the oldest, at best its middle age, and its not the only one, its just a quick cash in just like the first game

    why? some psp's dont even play psp games... and ... if you had not noticed with the many versions of the psp, sony is not that great about quality portable games, but strongly feels you need to rebuy all new cables / batteries every time they tweak it, or on the GO where they flat out said "eh just buy your games again if we feel like copying them to the website".
