  1. Cheaper? on Linino-Enabled Arduino Yun Shrinks In Size and Cost · · Score: 1

    How the hell is 60$USD cheaper than a regular Arduino?

    And now, I'll go read TFA...

    Okay, WTF is an Arduino "Yún"? This is the first time I heard about it and there's already a "mini" version. Great job at advertising your products, Arduino. NOT.

  2. Harper proves that he thinks of himself as either a king or a dictator. No democratic process whatsoever.

  3. Re:Politicans who forget who voted for them... on Canadian Prime Minister To Music Lobby: Here's Your Copyright Term Extension · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We have more than two political parties in Canada. The choice isn't limited to "Conservatives or Liberals". You can vote for NDP, Green Party, etc.

    Who actually estimates numbers for the sizes of windows, linux and mac gamers?

    That's an excellent question. Those "10%" numbers always come, as you say, from counting all computers including those sold to businesses. The numbers are also skewed in Steam because of the cheer number of Windows-only games.

    Your question about the breakdown for games that are available for all three platforms is a good one, I'd be interested to see such numbers as well.

    Mac users account for 10% of the users at best. How much of that 10% is using the latest Mac Pro?

  7. Re:Follow the Good Eats mantra on Here Comes the Keurig of Everything · · Score: 2

    This is what you said:
    1. Put everything in a pot, put the lid on, it goes on the stove on high
    2. Once it starts to boil you turn the heat down (meaning you have to watch it)
    3. Let it sit for the amount of time (depends on if you are making white or brown rice) (again, you need to watch/time things)

    This is what ShanghaiBill said:
    "A pot on a stovetop needs to be watched and occasionally stirred. A rice cooker is fire-and-forget."?

    Either you've never used a rice cooker or you don't understand that you just proved ShanghaiBill right.

  9. Re:Follow the Good Eats mantra on Here Comes the Keurig of Everything · · Score: 1

    A kitchen device that can only be used for one purpose is a waste of space.

    That's why I use my Japan-designed rice cooker that was made in China to cook Canadian-made pasta dishes that originated in Italy.

    Question: MenuetOS is entirely written in assembly? There's no traces of other languages, such as C?

  17. Re:Battlefield Earth sucked on Rediscovered Lucas-Commissioned Short "Black Angel" Released On YouTube · · Score: 1

    Without excellent actors and a budget counted in millions, even relatively bad movies could be counted as "they did okay with what they had".

    Are you sure you're not thinking about Starship Troopers? I liked the over-the-top parody of "everything is militarized" point of view from the first day I saw it.

    Does the IMDB takes the actors and budget into account? BFE has to have the worst ratio of all movies ever made.
