    if I was paying my mechanic hourly to work on my cat for 5 hours @70$ an hour

    I think you have bigger problems than paying an extra $35 if your mechanic is working on your cat.

    Then... use a GPU? For anything "embarrassingly parallel," the GPU will win, every time.

  3. Re:Oh yes, software on America's Future Is In Software, Not Hardware · · Score: 1

    My money is on writing software now that creates programs based on interpretive dance in front of a Kinect. Then I'll open up dance studios everywhere and be filthy rich..... I'l go down in history as the founder of the Dance-Based Economy!...... Muhahahahahah......

    Damn it! That was my idea!

    Hey, if I'm going to use an awful search engine, I might as well use the awful search engine that doesn't think it knows what I'm searching for better than me. The free Microsoft FunBucks don't hurt either...

  5. Re:Open Source vs a Corporate Monopoly on Microsoft Scraps 'Where's My Phone Update?' Site · · Score: 1

    Everyone not doing this cares when they see what can be done on a rooted phone? I've never seen anyone do anything on a rooted phone that was interesting at all. I want my phone to make phone calls and handle other things a phone is supposed to do, I don't want to code in Pyluaby and SSH into remote terminals on my phone.

  6. Re:How much does MS pay you? on Windows Phone Homebrew Hits a Snag · · Score: 2

    No, there is a separate, official Facebook app for Windows Phone. And, as far as I can tell, the integration in iOS and Android is not to the same level as Windows Phone does it. I, of course, could be entirely wrong about that. I haven't played with iOS or Android for a whole now.

  7. Re:How much does MS pay you? on Windows Phone Homebrew Hits a Snag · · Score: 2

    I'd go more with "What do I need the official app for when anything I'd do on Facebook is built into the phone?"

    So I'm assuming Google has a plan and it's not completely half-baked.

    Google's a company BUILT on half baked plans.

  14. Re:An effort to avoid tariffs in Brazil on Is Apple Moving iPad Production to Brazil? · · Score: 1

    Obnoxious music? I'm not seeing that as an advantage.

    The geek sees a laser because he can't think of any other form of beamed weapon.

    Or because they explicitly called it a laser gun 5 minutes ago.

    That's the kind of a combination and idiot would have on their iPhone.

    You don't remember anything specifically wrong with the language? Did you not talk to Burns Flipper or something? http://youtu.be/AogqhR4P-1Y I mean, I love The Longest Journey and all, but it is something that should be considered for a ten year old.

    Why would Apple want to copy a crappy product?

    I don't really know, they're pretty good at making crappy products without Samsung's help.

  25. Re:Emulation? on Inside NVIDIA's Massive Hardware Emulation Lab · · Score: 1

    Nothing can truly emulate Ballmer. No one can emulate Ballmer. He's the reason copyright laws are enforced so strictly. Do we really want a copy of him running around?
