    My Roku LT works fine on a standard def tv crt, which is what I'm still running.

  2. Re:Xbox One on Ouya Android Game Console Launches, Quickly Sells Out · · Score: 1

    That raspberry pi can't play n64 games of snes games that use the superfx chip. I ordered a Ouya, simply for emulation.

  3. Works for me on Is Google Voice Doomed To Be 2nd-Class Messaging System? · · Score: 1

    I ditched my cell texting plan and switched to using Google Voice, saving $360/year (had family texting on AT&T). People complain that they have to text a different number, but they can get over it.

    It's my understanding they are going to integrate it with Google Hangouts soon.

    The poster never said standard, he said proprietary, which its not.

    Easier way to avoid such things, look for people who use the word "sheeple", then disregard everything else they say.

    Most facebook profiles that wide open are because they don't know they are or don't know how to change it.

  12. Re:Will it be a repeat? on Will PCIe Flash Become Common In Laptops, Desktops? · · Score: 1

    They weren't? Then do tell what they were using.

    I was in school at the time and we were required to have a floppy for each class using a computer. Nothing else was affordable at the time.

  13. Re:How stupid is a Mac Pro Cylinder? on Apple Shows Off New iOS 7, Mac OS X At WWDC · · Score: 1

    It has a SSD, slot style, same as the Macbooks. Ram is standard.

    All you need to do replace either is slide the cover off and they are exposed.

    NES, Sega and Atari 2600 run without lag. Some SNES games run, If they don't require the special FX chip, like StarFox.

  18. Re: Accurate game emulation still requires a hefty on Retro Gaming With Raspberry Pi · · Score: 2

    Maybe they just want to play the game. If its not 100% accurate, who gives a shit?

    I built one for NES games and it works fine, even if there is an occasional glitch, but who cares..

  19. Re:Does it feel lonely where you are. on Pi to Go: Hot Raspberry Pi DIY Mini Desktop PC Project · · Score: 1

    Get a life guy, this has nothing to do with Apple and even mentioning it, or Tim Cook, is off-topic. There are many people on this site who have no love for Richard Stallman, myself included. I don't a rat about him or his dogma, and I don't care for having it shoved down my throat.

    I like having the freedom to choose what license I want, without his or your input. Please keep your software religion to yourself.

  20. Our local department has this on Montreal Union Wants a Camera On Every Policeman's Uniform · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Started about a year ago. They are turned on when the shift starts and can't be turned off until the shift has ended.

    Mounted on a hat above the right ear and they have sound.

    Indiana, by the way.

    About as much as "Anonymous", nothing but bragging rights. It's like tagging a wall in alley.

    You mean, just like google voice, google chat, whatsapp, textfree, text+ viber, and the other 8000 chat apps I'm forgetting? They no longer enforce duplicate functionality and haven't for some time.

    To each their own, but I know more phone numbers than email addresses. I don't use Whatsapp, but I can see the appeal.
