    Hire the "big fat phony" guy from Family Guy.

  4. Stratasys on Interviews: Ask Bre Pettis About Making Things · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Stratasys acquired Makerbot a few months ago. Has things changed on the hardware or software side? What changes await for the future?

    Will Makerbot release a cheaper FDM 3D printer?

    Does Makerbot have any plans for an UV 3D printer, either laser-based or projector-based?

  7. Re:Am I getting old? on Raspberry Pi's Eben Upton: How We're Turning Everyone Into DIY Hackers · · Score: 2

    A frickin' ATtiny85 is more powerful than a minicomputer from the late 70's. ;-)

  8. Re:It's not the thing... on Raspberry Pi's Eben Upton: How We're Turning Everyone Into DIY Hackers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't understand the moderation on my comment nor your reply. We're talking about hardware and communities here, which the Arduino has too. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that the Arduino community, with its dozens of variants, is a lot bigger than the Raspberry Pi community.

  9. Re:It's not the thing... on Raspberry Pi's Eben Upton: How We're Turning Everyone Into DIY Hackers · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The Arduino is much cheaper, you can even just run an ATmega328P on a breadboard. And the community is huge too.

  10. Re:Here we go again on Study: Video Gamer Aggression Result of Game Experience, Not Violent Content · · Score: 4, Funny

    You really think it's lack of self-control that's the problem? How the fuck would you know, you fucking little prick? How fucking dare you! You think you're better than the rest of us you godamn fuckface? SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH YOU FUCKING...

    Sorry. I don't know what came over me!

  13. Re:Viva La XP! on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1

    The point of my comment was, why upgrade if it works fine?

  14. Re:Crypto on AMD Unveils the Liquid-Cooled, Dual-GPU Radeon R9 295X2 At $1,500 · · Score: 2

    You don't need the memory bandwidth for Scrypt mining, so you can use whatever card you want in a x1 slot, with the help of a riser/cable.

  15. Re:All part of the plan on For the First Time, Organ Regenerated Inside a Living Animal · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what your comment means, so I'm gonna grab my towel and go fill a plastic cup with a liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

  16. Re:Viva La XP! on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1

    I still use a 1995 ThinkPad that has a 233MHz CPU and 64MB RAM, it runs Windows 98SE and does exactly what I need it to do, which is to control a specialized piece of hardware.

  17. Re:Efficiency on Online Skim Reading Is Taking Over the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    I disagree, skimmed milk is not better than regular milk.

    I hope you know where your towel is.

  19. Re:Except much of the time they're right... on Apple: Dumb As a Patent Trolling Fox On iPhone Prior Art? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Samsung are truly creative and innovative, really?

    When all you do is try to one-up the leader, you end up following him forever because you have no idea where he's going.

    "Skate to where the puck will be" is the only sane option.

  20. Re:clunky software? on A Bid To Take 3D Printing Mainstream · · Score: 1

    You paid ten dollars for a laser printer in 1989?

  21. Get Perpendicular on Seagate Releases 6TB Hard Drive Sans Helium · · Score: 2

    The company used the same perpendicular magnetic recording technology that it has on previous models.

    Just in case anyone missed it, here's the very technical video explanation by Hitachi about how perpendicular recording works.

  22. Re:Sorry about the loss of the magic on Elite Violinists Can't Distinguish Between a Stradivarius and a Modern Violin · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just like ancien mechanical clocks are marvels of engineering especially at the time of their fabrication, they're totally imprecise compared to even a low-cost crystal-clock Timex plastic watch.

  23. Re:Modern audiophiles are no different. on Elite Violinists Can't Distinguish Between a Stradivarius and a Modern Violin · · Score: 1

    Chi does exist. She lives with Hideki.

  24. Re:clunky software? on A Bid To Take 3D Printing Mainstream · · Score: 1, Funny

    It's not a CAD tool if it doesn't have parametrics.

      I don't see what CAD tools have to do with ambulances.

  25. Re:No. on A Bid To Take 3D Printing Mainstream · · Score: 3, Informative

    A 3D printer for under 500$USD is nothing new.

    The Printrbot Simple Kit has available for months, for 349$USD.

    Still too expensive? For 200$USD, you can get a Makibox A6 LT.

    Want to go even lower? You can get a Peachy Printer for only 100$CAD.
