Not for nothin', but months ago I posted that MS & other console makers should be worried, "cuz Ouya gonna getcha'". And that post got modded +5 Comedian.
I am waiting for my apology...
You are the first person I've ever seen complain about getting modded UP.
I'm never happy. It got the mod for suggesting that the Ouya was to be taken seriously. This sounded like a good idea, still does. Give me a cheap, easy to play alternative, and I'll plunk down my $99. Ask me to invest more than that for any system that's going to be obsolete in a short span of time, I'll take a pass. This has a good chance of being a game changer, imo.
cause I think I have seen like 3 iPads in the wild (phones yea a ton) that people owned and not just behind a case, this guy endangers his life for one, and it will be obsolete before the stink from this case ends.

Scott Adams had a Dilbert cartoon about how you can cut out about half the people in your life and still be produtive and happy. I got rid of some 'friends' that really weren't, sometimes that's what you have to do in order to learn who your real friends are.
Americans are basically a good people, most of us. People who are making the best of the situation that they were born into, like anyone in the world. They want a better life for their kids. They who can give generously to local and worldwide charities, and some travel directly to make changes in less developed parts of the world, because they WANT to. And they are a wide range of peoples from every part of the world. They don't always agree with what our government does and work to make a difference, for a better life for everbody, and that's a tall order to fill. They love, laugh and are human beings. It's a shame that this isn't always understood by some people in the world, can't please everybody all the time.

I worked for a battery backup supply company and heard the owner responding on the phone to a customer after a 12 hour blackout hit. "You paid for 6 hours of backup and it lasted 10, and you want a f%$king refund?!! Are you crazy?!!!" Moral: You get what you pay for.
For those of us who struggle with geometry, this is an explanation by CBS news...
The universe may grow like a giant brain, according to a new computer simulation. The results, published Nov. 16 in the journal Nature's Scientific Reports, suggest that some undiscovered, fundamental laws may govern the growth of systems large and small, from the electrical firing between brain cells and growth of social networks to the expansion of galaxies. "Natural growth dynamics are the same for different real networks, like the Internet or the brain or social networks," said study co-author Dmitri Krioukov, a physicist at the University of California San Diego. The new study suggests a single fundamental law of nature may govern these networks, said physicist Kevin Bassler of the University of Houston, who was not involved in the study. [What's That? Your Physics Questions Answered] "At first blush they seem to be quite different systems, the question is, is there some kind of controlling laws can describe them?" he told LiveScience. By raising this question, "their work really makes a pretty important contribution," he said.
Similar Networks Past studies showed brain circuits and the Internet look a lot alike. But despite finding this functional similarity, nobody had developed equations to perfectly predict how computer networks, brain circuits or social networks grow over time, Krioukov said. Using Einstein's equations of relativity, which explain how matter warps the fabric of space-time, physicists can retrace the universe's explosive birth in the Big Bang roughly 14 billion years ago and how it has expanded outward in the eons since. So Krioukov's team wondered whether the universe's accelerating growth could provide insight into the ways social networks or brain circuits expand.
Brain cells and galaxies The team created a computer simulation that broke the early universe into the tiniest possible units -- quanta of space-time more miniscule than subatomic particles. The simulation linked any quanta, or nodes in a massive celestial network, that were causally related. (Nothing travels faster than light, so if a person hits a baseball on Earth, the ripple effects of that event could never reach an alien in a distant galaxy in a reasonable amount of time, meaning those two regions of space-time aren't causally related.) As the simulation progressed, it added more and more space-time to the history of the universe, and so its "network" connections between matter in galaxies, grew as well, Krioukov said. When the team compared the universe's history with growth of social networks and brain circuits, they found all the networks expanded in similar ways: They balanced links between similar nodes with ones that already had many connections. For instance, a cat lover surfing the Internet may visit mega-sites such as Google or Yahoo, but will also browse cat fancier websites or YouTube kitten videos. In the same way, neighboring brain cells like to connect, but neurons also link to such "Google brain cells" that are hooked up to loads of other brain cells. The eerie similarity between networks large and small is unlikely to be a coincidence, Krioukov said. "For a physicist it's an immediate signal that there is some missing understanding of how nature works," Krioukov said. It's more likely that some unknown law governs the way networks grow and change, from the smallest brain cells to the growth of mega-galaxies, Krioukov said. "This result suggests that maybe we should start looking for it," Krioukov told LiveScience.
Would you leave your home if I threatened to burn it down tomorrow?
If it's only me, I'd fight your ass to the death. If my family lives in that house, I must ultimately consider their safety, they would be your innocent victims.
The whole Middle East situation reminds me of the old Star Trek episode written at the time about the Vietnam War. It's about two neighboring planets that had been at war for so long that they forgot why they were still at war, but kept warring. Somehow, it seems still relevant today...
Oh, thank you, you're right. It was not a good time to be a Jew, or a Polish person then. That was then, this is now. A lot of life is more well understood today. And every country has their own shames to deal with. My hope is that we humans have learned from history's lessons, and will continue to as older generations die out. In the U.S. it took many generations before the K.K.K. idiots faded away to unimportance, helped by a lawsuit.
The current dilemma is that there are still an awful lot of either plain ignorant or willfully ignorant people to deal with, education being the best 'weapon of choice'. It will either be more centuries of senseless war, or only a few generations of it. Time will tell, I guess.
Actually Life in prison without parole is less costly to taxpayers. Each individual death penalty case automatically gets appealed to the Supreme Court, at a cost of over $2,000,000 per. Here's one link: http://www.fnsa.org/v1n1/dieter1.html

its just a toy people
It is just a toy, yet people insist on risking it all for these 'shinys. Four Hofstra University students, who all had scholarsips and bright futures, have thrown it all away for a short term gain.

That should be "flock", of course, though 'fock' is funnier. Damn android keyboard has a mind of it's own, sometimes.
"Each tracker is hyperlinked, enabling detectives to cross-reference it against trackers in other files."
In other words, guilt by association.
Agreed
Woukdn't that be more 'suspect' by association? Birds of a feather fock together, many times.
