    Think you got it bad? Here in Canada they give us the phones for free but it requires a three years contract with a minimum monthly package of 80$.

    You have a house in 2014? You're rich.

    Searching for "LCD TFT SPI" on eBay.ca gives me quite a list of 2.2 inches displays with built-in SD/microSD socket, for only 6.00~6.50$CAD per unit (shipping included). Going up, you have 2.8" displays with touch screen for less than 20$CAD with shipping.

    People still buy movies on plastic discs? How wasteful.

    The required licenses must be expensive for a reason. Insurances, liabilities, warranties, security, etc. If you bypass all that, it's like a store selling items on the sidewalk with no rent or taxes to pay. Sure it's cheaper, but if something goes wrong, you're SOL.

    But Starbucks has apps, wi-fi, etc...

    What do you mean, "they sell coffee"?

    Roland MDX-540? Five axis Thermwood?

  10. Re:Monthly quota? on Comcast Converting 50,000 Houston Home Routers Into Public WiFi Hotspots · · Score: 2

    If they require a Comcast customer login, then it's not a public wi-fi hotspot at all.

  11. Re:Here are couple of $250-300 3D printers on $470 RepRap Derived 3D Printer Going Into Production · · Score: 1

    I don't get the idea of using servos for anything CNC, lasercutter or 3D-printer related to lower costs. You can easily get 5$ stepper motors these days when buying in small quantities (100+).

    And do you think the magic plastic filament comes from thin air?

    Made in China 2014 is the new Made in Japan 1984.

    You might want to look into a small desktop CNC machine, the parts would be much stronger and you wouldn't be limited to plastic filament as your only material choice.

    Not only does it look like a sturdy CoreXY setup, there's a ballscrew for the Z-axis. At the price he's asking, I would never have guessed it used one.

    Kei and Yuri. Dirty Pair.

    "But sir, the civilians were in the way!"

    'nuff said.

    The Crew.

    Will it really be as open-world as they claim, with the only "walls" being Canada, Mexico and oceans?

  18. Monthly quota? on Comcast Converting 50,000 Houston Home Routers Into Public WiFi Hotspots · · Score: 0

    Either Comcast will make their users pay because strangers will use their monthly quotas, or they have zero ability to calculate quotas in which case any current or past monthly quota overcharges are frauds.

  19. Re:$150,000? on NSF Researcher Suspended For Mining Bitcoin · · Score: 2

    Even so, GPU-mining Bitcoins in 2014 is just pure lunacy.

    only a small portion of them will be able to use guns at all and the rest will have to resort to things like knives and insults.

    AC: ...and then of course I keep seeing all these lame posts which give me this terrible pain down my left hand side...
