  1. Re:Need my glasses checked on On the Significance of Google's New Cardboard (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the release of two girls, six tentacles.

  2. Back in the day? on Ode To Sound Blaster: Are Discrete Audio Cards Still Worth the Investment? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Back in the day, integrated audio solutions had trouble earning respect.

    No.

    Back in the day, integrated audio was the frickin' PC speaker that could only produce one square wave at a time with no volume control whatsoever, apart from software 'hacks'.

    And Creative Labs were far from the first ones, learn a bit of history and get off my lawn.

  3. Re:why the word needs openstreetmap on How Google Map Hackers Can Destroy a Business · · Score: 2

    People won't move to Bing, because Bing is a stupid name.

    See also: Ned Ryerson.

    And I wish I started mining bitcoins a few years ago...

    Speaking of which, please click on the links in my sig. Share and enjoy!

  5. Re:those damn locksmiths on How Google Map Hackers Can Destroy a Business · · Score: 2

    Maybe a lot of locksmiths didn't start out as locksmiths.

  6. SEO on How Google Map Hackers Can Destroy a Business · · Score: 1

    Every time I see that term, I cringe. I've never heard anything 100% good from any of those guys, there's always some trickery or grey-area ethics involved.

  7. Re:why the word needs openstreetmap on How Google Map Hackers Can Destroy a Business · · Score: 1

    Maybe openstreetmap has data from the future and knows you'll be homeless one day.

  9. Re:It's a huge risk on Apple Gets Its First Batch of iPhone Chips From TSMC · · Score: 1

    I would love to see Atmel go with Intel, just to see what could come out of it.

    I'd like to see the ATtiny and ATmega series running above 20MHz. Sure there's other Atmel uC that can do that, but in non-DIP packages and at a much higher price.

  10. Re:ATtiny85 on Prof. Andy Tanenbaum Retires From Vrije University · · Score: 0

    Overrated? You do know an excellent karma gives your posts a score of two by default, mr. moderator?

    If anything, it should have been modded offtopic.

  11. ATtiny85 on Prof. Andy Tanenbaum Retires From Vrije University · · Score: 1

    I don't need no stinkin' OS.

  12. Re:And another question on Mathematicians Solve the Topological Mystery Behind the "Brazuca" Soccer Ball · · Score: 1

    The Telstar is the only one that says "soccer" to me.

  13. Re:My gaming PC doesn't need retail stores on Gamestop's Ludicrous Idea: Require Preorders To Unlock Custom Game Content · · Score: 1

    The Bitfenix Prodigy is roughly 50% too big, even without the handles.

  14. No on Will Google's Dart Language Replace Javascript? (Video) · · Score: 0

    Unless they can magically add Dart capabilities to all the web-capable devices already out there as well as current and future competitors devices, the answer is no.

    We don't need another "This website is best viewed in browser XYZ" era.

  15. Re:"gets compressed and cools down"? on Cosmic Mystery Solved By Super-sized Supernova Dust · · Score: 1

    An A/C once fell on me.

    I cna't splel todya.

  16. Re:"gets compressed and cools down"? on Cosmic Mystery Solved By Super-sized Supernova Dust · · Score: 3, Funny

    I once had an A/C fall unto me, I totally understand being cooled down while getting compressed.

  17. My gaming PC doesn't need retail stores on Gamestop's Ludicrous Idea: Require Preorders To Unlock Custom Game Content · · Score: 1

    There's one thing my gaming PC doesn't have: an optical drive. I haven't needed one for the past three years.

    Check out the Cooler Master Elite 110. If you know of something even smaller that would still fit a Zotac GTX 750, please tell me. I don't use 3.5" HDDs either.

  18. Re:Do your own part, start today at home on Blueprints For Taming the Climate Crisis · · Score: 1

    Solution: drop cable. You save in energy, time and money.

    Would it be possible to book a rendez-vous with the doctor in advance, just in case the operation goes wrong?

  22. Re:Better still on A Brain Implant For Synthetic Memory · · Score: 2

    "Information is not knowledge." and "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein.

  23. Not a good idea on A Brain Implant For Synthetic Memory · · Score: 1

    Do we really want to depend on computers for our knowledge and our memories?

  24. Arrested overseas? on US Arrests Son of Russian MP In Maldives For Hacking · · Score: 1, Funny

    I understand that he did something wrong, but begin arrested overseas by the U.S. Secret Service? The U.S.A. is acting like the mafia these days, no country is off-limits and frontiers don't exist.

    Next up: the U.S. Secret Service arrests E.T. on his home planet for an unpaid long-distance call.
