FU liberal. Way to cherry pick 1 stereotype. There are people in this country that cherish the entire bill of rights. The NRA would be the first to realize that in order to protect the 2nd amendment you need to also protect the rest. Sadly, the ACLU doesn't understand this.
Lying to your parents should not be acceptable. Sure kids will do it on the occasion but it needs to be stopped. She is teaching herself that she is smarter than you. Good job idiot.
Just wait another couple years and your daughter will be pregnant.
I agree with some of what you mention, but my biggest gripe about D3 is that it wasn't fun. It seemed more like a job than a game. The AH is so heavily integrated that I was spending way too much time in the AH trying to get a good item because the drops generally sucked.
I've only played a couple hours of TL2 so far and I like it for the price. It is fun so far. I like the D2/D3 atmosphere better. D2/D3 had better storytelling and voice acting. It made the game more immersive. TL2 has some of these, but it could have had more.
There are some elements of TL2 that are really cool. I really liked the gold mine (can't remember the name). Can't wait to see what more this game has to offer.
IMO, so far, D2 is the best of the three. With more time perhaps TL2 may outshine it.
Order from Allied 2.5 months ago. After hearing about the USB and Ethernet reliability issues I decided to cancel (literally this morning). Bought the Rikomagic MK802II instead. I should get it in 2 weeks too.
Here's a side by side comparison of the MK802 vs the Rasp. Pi.
What about it? He should be thrown out of office on treason against the constitution. I'm not arguing whether or not any of his other policies are good or bad, and will not state my political affiliation. However, when a president blatantly violates a basic freedom that so many Americans have fought to protect, a freedom he has sworn to protect, then he deserves treason charges. And yes, GWB deserved it also for the exact same reasons.
But the sheep that live in this country will ignore it and instead either applaud or crucify him for his social policies. Pitiful.
Couldn't agree more. This site is becoming forgettable. The news isn't all that interesting any longer. Slashdot used to be my central geek news site, but now I can find more geek news elsewhere, albeit across multiple sites.
Editors... get back to the basics and do it the best in the industry. Then your site will grow. And while you're at it...moderation is going downhill too. Personal attacks are increasing and moderators mod them up as "interesting". The comments section is one of the main features of slashdot, but they are becoming less enjoyable to read.
So true. I'm also an R&D engineer for a specialty lighting company. The cheap stuff is poor quality in terms of build, components, and quality of light. The better stuff is light years better. The Philips bulb is of the later type.
The industry is really frustrating. I am basically resorting to making my own under-cabinet and path lighting for my home because of this. The inexpensive stuff looks awful, but the good stuff is priced way too high still.
You work for the airline. It's expected as part of your employment. Freedom of travel is a protected liberty. All air travelers have to be treated equally since the government forces certain security checks before flying. That is fine. What is happening now is that there is discrimination based on wealth and probably nationality (you know who will NEVER get a prescreening invite). The government cannot do either; it's illegal and in violation of equal protection laws. Wealth discrimination by private companies (i.e. airlines offering first class services) is not illegal, but it is for the government.
Air travel has always had a caste system. What's different now is that the government is getting in on the profits to the caste system. This might actually might violate equal protection and non-discrimination laws. You know no-one with Arab names will be invited.
That seems perfectly reasonable to any true patriotic American. Why do people who disagree with this hate America so much. Hey, look, waffle covered corn dogs. Yum!
Yeah. Thinking about doing this. But then again, the WD device does this out of the box so I also get Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc, and I don't have to worry about software updates breaking this functionality.
Yup. No xvid support on the Apple device is a no go either. Funny how I have been streaming movies from a NAS to XBMC (on orig. Xbox) for about 7-8 years now and no device (maybe the WD Live Streaming device) offers something as flexible.
You are correct. My original comment was simplistic, but this along with 2 wars in the Middle East, hurricane Katrina, China's (and the world in general) increasing oil demand, and other factors I'm sure exist all contributed to the rapid increase in the last 12 years. 12 years is too short of time for people to transition to mass transit when such systems are poor to begin with.
Politicians influenced some of these issues and have that much to be blamed for, and both parties are to blame not just the current president.
It's hard for the average person to accept such a large swing in gas prices in such a short time especially when there are little alternatives. In Europe you have a good mass transit system. You even have Ryan Air for cheap air travel. The US doesn't have nearly as good system of trains and buses.
It puts a strain on people's budget especially during hard economic times.
BTW, I'm a Republican and am no defender of Obama, but I would love to ask the Republican candidates who was in charge when gas prices started to ramp up in the year 2000 and why it did so.
The new interface is in the my previous post. You can also see the size of the remotes in the postings. The newer version's remote is twice the size of the old one. It's not perfect since I wish that it had a qwerty keypad that flipped out. Also, the colored buttons on the new remote are a little confusing to know which to push. But trial and error wins out.
Portability. I have the WDTV Live Streaming device talked about in another thread. This and some of the ones in the parent article are REALLY small. You can have a bunch of ripped movies on a small thumb drive and plug the device into your car's TV. Without an in-car entertainment system you can still pick up a 7"-10" portable LCD and use it with one of these devices in a car. It's a far better system than anything you can buy. Also, having a dozen or so movies on a thumbdrive in Xvid format (or some other format) is way more convenient than DVD's.
Yeah, not sure why they didn't include this. The 2011 version is much better over the previous models and it plays anything you throw at it. The 2011 versions has a MUCH better UI, remote control, and has WiFi. Here is one review:
Note on how the looks are different from previous models. Don't bother with the older models since the UI is that much better.
I plug this into my car's DVD player, put a dozen or so kids movies on a flash drive, and let the kids watch what they want on long trips. No more fumbling for DVD's.
Looking at the specs of the others I don't know why this isn't included.
I have an aunt in Italy that lives in the mountains on a farm. Their house is nice, but it's still a farm house. It has a bidet. You don't need high-culture to have used a bidet. And just wait until you visit Japan!
Yup. Even though Slashdot offers me the option to not-display ads I find them to pretty non-annoying so I leave them on. I would guess that there is some view-counter-script so I want to be counted as having potentionally viewed the ads. As Timothy mentions in the article, ads keep the lights on at Slashdot.
For ketchup, just put the bottle upside down. Gravity will place all the ketchup at the tip of the bottle. For bottles with nozzles, simply unscrew the top to get the very last spoonful.
Peanut butter on the other hand is more challenging. Natural peanut butter tends to flow easier so is not as much of a problem. But the generic peanut butter is quite sticky.
First, thanks for creating such a great and informative site. It has become mine and millions of others daily source of geek news. This place truly has enriched my life, and I thank you for having the vision to create it. You have accomplished a lot and I am sure you will do some more amazing things yet.

They'll just add MORE steroids and antibiotics to compensate. The side benefit is that we will all be stronger and healthier!

From my understanding, the Pi still beats the MK802 on price and GPIO (addressed in the video).

I hope the TSA get LOTS of flack for this.
Yup. For 2/3 of US citizens the constitution doesn't apply:

That seems perfectly reasonable to any true patriotic American. Why do people who disagree with this hate America so much. Hey, look, waffle covered corn dogs. Yum!
Yeah. Thinking about doing this. But then again, the WD device does this out of the box so I also get Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc, and I don't have to worry about software updates breaking this functionality.
I do like the UI of XBMC better however.
Yup. No xvid support on the Apple device is a no go either. Funny how I have been streaming movies from a NAS to XBMC (on orig. Xbox) for about 7-8 years now and no device (maybe the WD Live Streaming device) offers something as flexible.

So when gas prices change like the following:

It puts a strain on people's budget especially during hard economic times.
BTW, I'm a Republican and am no defender of Obama, but I would love to ask the Republican candidates who was in charge when gas prices started to ramp up in the year 2000 and why it did so.
It's the one linked in the parent to my post.
These are the older ones:

The US can ban you from traveling abroad for many reasons.

Their real problem is that they chose American Airlines. I travel frequently and AA's customer service is the worst. I avoid them as much as possible.
Yup. Even though Slashdot offers me the option to not-display ads I find them to pretty non-annoying so I leave them on. I would guess that there is some view-counter-script so I want to be counted as having potentionally viewed the ads. As Timothy mentions in the article, ads keep the lights on at Slashdot.

Peanut butter on the other hand is more challenging. Natural peanut butter tends to flow easier so is not as much of a problem. But the generic peanut butter is quite sticky.
Does that mean separate ratings for the DVD site as well as the streaming site. Who knows what other features are now separate.
Sounds like a stupid move.
