    yes that is exactly what he meant by calling it an industry connector you dink

  2. Re:Data transfers on Why Apple Won't Adopt a Wireless Charging Standard · · Score: 1

    fair enough, but I charge my phone much more frequently than transfering multi-GB's, so for those rare times I will use the cable, every other day though wireless would be nifty

  3. NIH on Why Apple Won't Adopt a Wireless Charging Standard · · Score: 1

    not invented here

    besides since apple didnt slap a brand name on it the second a competitor came out with it then acted like they invented it it may be a while before it starts creeping into their designs, besides they cant put a proprietary connector that breaks with 6 weeks of usage on wireless

  6. Re:Here's what happened on Is Sega the Next Atari? · · Score: 1

    Sega couldnt get the trust of its reailers and its customers BEFORE saturn ever hit, 32x was a big reason behind that

    they couldnt all get on the same page, japan vs USA and everyone got pissed off being jerked around, from the sega CD, CDX, nomad and 32x oh fuck 32X here's saturn!!!

    too late

  7. Re:I already solved this on What To Do After Robots Take Your Job · · Score: 1

  10. good on RadioShack Near Deal To Sell Half of Its Stores, Close the Rest · · Score: 1

    Radio shack is in a hurt, a pruning is good, you dont need one in every mall and every freaking po-dunk town

    After talking with the manager of my local shack, who is staying open the one's all in our area are in mall's where no one goes and the rent is obscene, then there is the self competition, Radio Shack A doesn't stock X but Radio Shack B does stock X but not Y, its a fucking pain in the ass, now 3 stores are consolidating into 1, which is good cause I am sure as hell not chasing radio shack to give them money, and my manager buddy doesnt have to send customers away to another fucking Radio Shack hurting his sales.

    Now they need to quit competing with the retail stores online, Radio Shacks own website does special sales that are not honored in the stores, hint hint guys... I am not going to pay for your overpriced walmart junk online! I go to radio shack cause its 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon and I cant finish something without a few extra diodes, or its noon on a Monday and I need a simple switch for work and I happen to be out to lunch, not cause I think to myself "gee I really use a wall wart that's marked up 20 bucks and wait a week for it"

  11. IMO on Doomsday Clock Moved Two Minutes Forward, To 23:57 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    its horseshit scare tactics that dont work anymore over nonsense bullshit that has no leg to stand on

    so who cares, move it to 1 am, doesnt mean a damn thing

  12. yay more cloud stuff on Canonical Launches Internet-of-Things Version of Ubuntu Core · · Score: 2

    snappy core doesnt seem to be what I thought it was, I thought "hey here's a lightweight linux that runs on embedded things better" nope, its just a cloud service it seems from their 2 paragraph icons the size of postcards page on the ubuntu site

    younger voters are stupider voters, see president with youtube "stars" photo op as example

  14. Re:I think Nintendo Wii was powerglove 2.0 on Nintendo Power Glove Used To Create 'Robot Chicken' · · Score: 2

    powerglove was not made by nintendo

    "Though it was an officially licensed product, Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory. Rather, it was designed by Grant Goddard and Samuel Cooper Davis for Abrams/Gentile Entertainment (AGE), made by Mattel in the United States[2] and PAX in Japan."

  15. geforce 2 on AMD Catalyst Is the Broken Wheel For Linux Gaming · · Score: 1

    was way overkill for frozen bubble 12 years ago, so im good when stuck in linux, I think half life will be just fine in this day and age (15+ years late, just like linux always is)

  16. noise heat sketchup on Engineer Combines Xbox One, PS4 Into Epic 'PlayBox' Laptop · · Score: 1

    ok so the feat is impressive

    how does it preform over time, thats one thing no one ever considers

    how many GD pcb's can you glue in here

    why does every "laptop" design end up looking like the last 20 laptop designs downloaded for sketchup, you got with a company with a fucking CNC LASER do something more creative than a cigar box

    -professional engineer that makes millions of units a year with no news story, not a me too hot glue hack that gets 15 min on slashdot

  19. way I see it... on EFF Takes On Online Harassment · · Score: 0

    the ones who seem to get the most harassment are the ones who have a habit of bringing it on themselves, see this post for proof

    course I dont go running off and whine about it, but that's cause im not a special unique snowflake who needs to be protected when I act like an ass

  20. Re:'Reflow' indeed on Putting a MacBook Pro In the Oven To Fix It · · Score: 1

  21. I know what it is on Fluxbox 1.3.6 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    but the description of it in this summary is pointless

      "Like most Linux geeks already know, Fluxbox is the long-standing X window manager derived from Blackbox"

    lets say I am not a linux geek, I have linux but its ubuntu or min and whatever ships with that is all I know as far as desktops go? what is fluxbox? oh its derived from blackbox, gee fucking thanks for that useful bit of info, so why even have it in there?
