    Yes, that' what I thought, too. Until I built a 3d printer, spent time to calibrate it and learned how to use it.

    Now I can make things much much stronger than a garlic press.

    While this is probably not best for innovation in general, whatever puts a curb on Apple's asshole behavior is a good thing.

    Exactly. That's why, if you scroll up and reread the summary, you can find both the profit and revenue numbers.

    Huh? This is about providing for a child who's been brought into this world. By a couple, or a single person (genders aside). Nothing here suggests anybody having to stay together, although in real life, you should take that into consideration for the benefit of the child.

    War on Women!

    Fugg you for even suggesting that. War on women?

    So let's see, we have a kid whom nobody wants, moms took off, biological "dad" wants no piece of it, nor the state, and this is somehow about war on women?

    Bring it on, I got karma to burn.

    I'm fine with vegetarians as long as they keep their opinions to themselves. I'm OK them feeding their kids tofu, because I let them decide if denying our omnivore roots is worth it, but I don't want them chirping about my steak.

  13. Bad example. on Stop Trying To 'Innovate' Keyboards, You're Just Making Them Worse · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I agree, the ever changing keyboard layout is frustrating. The worst ever offender is macbook keyboards where they made the power button a keyboard button (and in the worst place, where a 'del' or 'backspace' button should be).

    However, the keyboard linked in the article actually has some nice ideas, for example replacing the totally useless caps lock with 'home' and 'end'. It would be a great keyboard for programmers.

  19. Attention Span of Knuckle Heads on NSA Collects 200 Million Text Messages Per Day · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You have missed just about every point.

    This information released piece by piece is the most ingenious idea from Snowden and friends. If they released it in one batch it would be forgotten in two weeks because of the Attention Span of Knuckle Heads.

    Here your post is an exact proof of that. You must have missed those leaks about the RSA being paid to allow easier breaking of their encryption, Mac webcams recording without the light on, NSA's private backdoor into iPhones, or Apple's logo on many of the documents. So you say iMessage? I would not be the least bit surprised if NSA had access to that, too. Especially after all the favorable decisions handed out by the government to Apple recently.

    And you're blaming a newspaper? Because they are doing the job of journalism as they are supposed to? They are the bad guys here? Come on man.

    This is stupid. Starting with the title:

    "Target Hackers Have More Data Than They Can Sell" - so what? And based on what? Any guarantees?

    "But it's also likely that they can't sell them" - but that leaves the possibility that they can, right?

    "no one will buy the stolen goods in these amount" - why not? And why would they need to sell ALL to the same buyer? Couldn't they sell them in batches?

    The Wii U only supports one new controller.

    Well that's of course not true. From the Wii U tech specs:

    "The Wii U console is capable of supporting two Wii U GamePad controllers, up to four Wii Remote (or Wii Remote Plus) controllers or Wii U Pro Controllers, and Wii accessories such as the Nunchuk, Classic Controller and Wii Balance Board."

    .

  25. Kids. on Behind the Scenes of Wii U Software Development · · Score: 1

    The controller is cool. But.

    If you have multiple kids, you'd have to buy extra "cool" controllers for each. And find games, if they even exist, that support multiple "cool" controllers. So basically Nintendo reduced it's marketplace to single people, households with only one child and the super rich.
