  1. IoT? on Honeywell Home Controllers Open To Any Hacker Who Can Find Them Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    More like Internet of Trash.

    We've now advanced enough to consider X10 to be better than the new technology.

  2. Re:Need to start including USB keys on Honeywell Home Controllers Open To Any Hacker Who Can Find Them Online · · Score: 2

    How about adding a button on the device? To modify anything, you need to hold the button. And it's a momentary push button, not a switch, so the user can't leave it enabled.

  3. New meaning on Honeywell Home Controllers Open To Any Hacker Who Can Find Them Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    This brings a new meaning to "Honey, I'm home".

    As in, the hacker is in your home via the Honeywell Home Contr... yeah ok never mind.

  4. Virtual +1 Funny.

    How 'bout $50k? $20? $15? How low can you go.

    The real question is, how high can you get?

    Wasn't it nullification in the original movie?

    Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

  8. Re:Ohh Ohh on Intel and Micron Unveil 3D XPoint Memory, 1000x Speed and Endurance Over Flash · · Score: 5, Funny

    And I already know how we're going to erase that memory.

  9. You could put the cost somewhere between NAND and DRAM.

    Okay, but...

    Intel and Micron say 3D XPoint memory is 1000 times faster than NAND, boasts 1000x the endurance of NAND, and offers 8-10 times the density of conventional memory.

    So it's going to cost from 8 to 10 times as much?

    This is a website read by NERDS, not people wearing business suits.

    If you want to make money with this website, don't do the same stupid mistakes as DHI Group Inc.

    Keep the news and topics nerds-related. Make sure you have nerds on your staff to manage the website and keep your hands off everything.

    When I read "nullification" I think of deaths in Tron...

    If I had a Bitcoin for every time I've seen the quiet/quite error, I'd be rich.

    But quit/quite? This is the first time I see that. That's how bad the editors are on this website.

  15. Re:Complex signal analysis on Chrome Extension Thwarts User Profiling Based On Typing Behavior · · Score: 3, Funny

    Grammar and phrases used by writers should be unique enough to identify the same anonymous writers on different sites, at least over the long run.

    thats one more reason too never use capital letters or punctuation and too write with as many misteaks as u can including us1ng l33tsp34k

    I was there last week, is that recent enough for you?
    I visited 6 different factories / suppliers during my stay.

    Mike, is that you?

  17. Re:"Maker Industry" isn't a thing on The Factory of the World - Documentary On Manufacturing In Shenzhen · · Score: 1

    It's an industry that sells hardware to people who have this hobby.

    I just received my Raspberry Pi 2 to build a tiny arcade cabinet (yeah I know, quite original) and without the "maker industry" I would probably be forced to make a bigger cabinet using a mini-ITX computer motherboard or pay multiple hundreds of dollars for an industrial SBC without any community support built around arcade and console emulators.

  18. Re:Ouya? Razer? on Razer Acquires Ouya's Storefront and Technical Team · · Score: 1

    The Ouya is/was more expensive than the Raspberry Pi 2. You get what you pay for, but with the RPi2 there's a huge community around it.

  19. Re:Kickstarter forever on Razer Acquires Ouya's Storefront and Technical Team · · Score: 1

    In general you only hear about people screwing up and making mistakes, so of course you think the majority of Kickstarter projects are run by thieves and crooks.

    I have only participated in one Kickstarter project, but it went really well and I'm extremely pleased with the products that I received.

    Screw that, I just got my Raspberry Pi 2 and RetroPie will fill all my needs.

    Just because I'm talking about both doesn't mean I'm confusing the two. Some people were talking about tax breaks, other were talking about subsidies.
