    You're getting electricity AND hydrogen? That sounds odd... where's the power coming from? I mean, great if it's true, but where's it coming from, seriously.

  11. Build something in a country on White House Advisor Kudlow Says Apple Technology May Have Been 'Picked Off' by China (cnbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    CSB:

    Way back in the stone age, my alma mater's campus had 11mbps wifi. We were told that 54mbps wifi was going to roll out but that the law school building and library was going to get it first.

    Cue me and two other idiots replacing the routers overnight (They were those blue and grey WRT routers so they looked the same).

    Best part is that the law school guys bragged with us about their wifi once or twice afterwards.

  20. I have an Oculus I got as part of a startup that owed me money folding. It mostly sat there for the better part of a year. Then Beat Saber came out, and now I use it to take two-to-five-minutese exercise breaks while I work. It lost me some weight, so I'm happy with it.

  25. Life finds a way on Teens Would Rather Text Their Friends Than Talk To Them In Person, Poll Shows (nypost.com) · · Score: 3, Funny
    ITT: Old people yelling at the cloud.

    When I was a teen, it was mostly IRC, then came the various YM/AIM and ICQ (in my country at least, those were a later addition).
