  1. Re:Chips are WAY thinner then paper on Canadian Researchers Debut PaperTab, the Paper-Thin Tablet · · Score: 1

    there are reasons, heat dissipation being one, and not having to wire bond each chip to a PCB is another, which is kind of a bitch

    and none of it is flexible as an assembled product

    even if you took the ipad guts out of its case, and laminated it in plastic, it isn't going to move much

    yep, and the last time I checked paper wasn't tethered to the floor

    where do you put the battery, where do you put the wifi or cel hardware, where do you put the cpu that is currently sitting on the floor, why does my 800mhz rooted nook simple touch have a faster touch response than an i5?

    since the day they were born in the lab, but there is more to a computer than its display, wheres the flexible and paper thin battery, the flexible core i5, the flexible ram rom and flash?

    its cute for the first few moments, when you slowly gaze around the demo disk, but you hit it, my hand, which can do all sorts of stuff out of sight only has to make a slight movement, my head doesnt, and is not nearly as quick

  8. Re:How many have actually shipped? on A Least Half a Million Raspberry Pis Sold · · Score: 1

    so they dont have them in stock then... its on backorder, which was not the question, you can find plenty of places that have them on backorder

    I have had helmets in the past, and yes this is the number one annoying thing that instantly pops out (headaches and neck-aches come later). Locking your eyes dead forward and moving your head an exaggerated amount to "look" at something that should only be an eye flick away is something not easily remembered in the moment.

    its a matter of record keeping

    if you know it weighed X in 2000, and it weighs Y in 2013 whats the problem, it grew shit or dorito boy finger fucked it 30 feet away from the ocean

    the whole idea seems backwards, there are changes we can not control, but instead we change the thing we actually can?

    so making profit for clicking a link is totally OK at the expense at the people who put hard work behind it?

    I understand that there is markup, and its usually way too high making the product artificially scarce, thats a different problem, but if everything were free in the world we would still be wiping our asses with leaves and bathing once a quarter. There would be no incentive to do anything, and man is lazy as shit, need proof? See article where some lazy fuck clicked a link.

  19. Re:I don't understand on The Tiny Console Killers Taking On the PS4 and Xbox 720 · · Score: 1

    I agree, and theres room for both hardcore games and more casual games, but the market wont need 3 devices to support 2 overall categories. Though it may take a bit longer than people think as there are untold amount of people who want that hard core action, and just functioning on a PC is an achievement, even now in 2012 where its 99% point n click to get stuff running.

    I know my library doesn't, they close as soon as school is out, and are not open on the weekends. I have never even been in the place and I am starting to wonder if they actually do unlock the door once in a while.

    we have this thing called VPN's, and you can access data on them without having to keep a copy on your personal device, force a password policy and its not perfect, but its better than "oops, I lost 500 patients data in one fell swoop conveniently cataloged and in xls format"

    if you keep your data at a central resource, its much easier to do damage control
