    damn I have been running 7 thermal chambers over RS232 for like 6 years now on windows 7 64 pro, and I never knew they were not working...

  3. yea but the vast majority of people dont care

  4. yea but the vast majority of people dont care if its faster than an i3 or compiling anything, it just needs to be fast enough to edit a picture and run office

    I dont think its the dems, I think its the rep's and the fact they have to wake up every single morning and explain some form of mind boggling rant

    IE: here's testimony of the POTUS trying to buy off the FBI director, and feeling vendicated at the fact that he wasn't under investigation, which we all know from like what? day one

    BUT HE IS VINDICATED!!!!!! meanwhile strong arming the FBI director, firing him, and replacing him with a crony. is completely off the radar

  6. what exactly has yahoo employees brought to the table over the last 15 years

    you just cant plop a box down and start living in it, we have pretty strict building codes

    and that land that cost a few bucks is typically hundreds of miles away from anything, meaning water, power, sewer etc ... you can do it but it doesn't appeal to many people

  12. Re:Fizzling the dreams of the Maker movement? on With Nothing Left To Sell, RadioShack Is Selling Itself To People (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Even when they did start having arduino and similar stuff in stock, it was a joke cause they would have them in store for 10+ dollars more than online ... like gee let me think here a second

    I could have this in a day or two free shipping for cheaper, or I could drive a half hour to radio shack, pay almost 25% more, get taxed, wait for the 1 guy in the store to deal with the 7 people who cant figure out their cellphone before they can check you out, get interrogated with a battery upsale, then drive a half hour back

  13. That's exactly what I came here to say, FF just became a pain in the ass to use, and since it was a pain in the ass to use chrome clone by the time I stopped using it, I just went to chrome... why use a bad clone of something that's right there waiting for you

  20. Re:LEDs lighting is cheaper, but it's also better on New Evidence of a Decline In Electricity Use By U.S. Households (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    I love them, I have been buying the great value ones for a few years now, and all but 2 lights in my house are LED (just cause in the year I have lived here only those two havent burned out yet)

    I got some as well from the local utility, they are a nicer brand, but I do notice, when you first flip them on they flash, dim and resettle (like in a period of a few ms, I notice it, my wife doesnt) Which ever so slightly annoys me, but also tells me they have better current regulation as its catching the inrush, so in theory they should last longer

    but I am not paying 6 bucks a bulb when the GV brand is 5.99 for 4

    even in the 1990's they had power saving modes of operation ... in fact they are identical to the ones used today

    hell even my 486 would spin down the hard drive, cut off the monitor and go into a sleep mode dropping the power down to the ten's of watts, meanwhile today, everyone has 16 billion 5 volt chargers sitting idol 24/7 consuming less than a watt each, but all added together over a day probably uses more than a pentium in sleep mode

    and unlike the pentium, they wont be shut off ... they dont run windows 95

  24. Proud of their work on New OS/2 Warp Operating System 'ArcaOS' 5.0 Released (arcanoae.com) · · Score: 2

    While I can and do see the point behind the commercial version, the price of the personal version puts me off of even considering trying it, guess you really have to be a diehard OS/2 personal user.

    I am not saying that it should be FREEEEEEE and all that, just 99$ is not appealing for something that is a refresh of something that hasn't existed on the personal market for a couple decades and tout's features like "usb support" and OSS that runs on any semi current OS

  25. you are probally right about the conclusion of muleer's findings, but its so much fun for us to dish it right back yo you all after 8 years of non stop bashing and drama... problem is you elected a hot head who is already starting to cry like the bitch he is
