    "Buzzword Umbrella Corporation"

    So I guess the old Microsoft was at the bottom of your chart?

    (clicks on big Staples button) That was easy

  8. Re:Conform or be expelled on HOA Orders TARDIS Removed From In Front of Parrish Home · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's your fault for buying a house in a Zerg area.

  9. Re:Wireless charging should be banned on Wireless Charging Standards Groups Agree To Merge · · Score: 1

    That means we need better USB connectors, not wireless charging.

    Also, why not make a standard connector at the bottom of smartphones, like those on wireless phones? It works for those phones, why not smartphones? The hardest part would be to get Apple on-board with the idea but there's that's not an engineering problem since it's already been done and we know it works. Put your smartphone on a charging station/dock, done. It's easier than connecting a wire and there's no losses like wireless power transmission.

    You know why they call her the "head" cheerleader, right? Know what I mean? Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

  11. None of them are entirely satisfactory: either the climate isn't quite right in the later part of the afternoon, or the day is half an hour too long, or the sea is exactly the wrong shade of pink.

  12. Re:it's past time on Wireless Charging Standards Groups Agree To Merge · · Score: 1

    It would also mean we could use LED lighting without needing an AC/DC converter in each damn light "bulb". At the very least we should have sockets with a built-in AC/DC converter and use regular LED lights made for RVs or something.

  13. Wireless charging should be banned on Wireless Charging Standards Groups Agree To Merge · · Score: 2

    Wireless charging is less effective than charging with a physical connection, meaning there is wasted energy in the process.

    I don't know if you noticed but the whole planet is going at war over sources of energy.

    Wasting energy just so it's a little less annoying to recharge toys is just plain stupid.

    We're being overrun by Islamics in the name of political correctness.

  15. Re:Cool product. Seems like a really nice guy. on DuinoKit Helps Teach Students About Electronics (Video) · · Score: 1

    Go check out the price of Arduinos and shields on eBay. I just bought a complete Pro mini for around 2.50$ but if I only want the IC from digi-key.ca it's going to cost me around 4.50$.

    Probably 10 cents or more, which is at least a hundred times more than 1/10th of 1 cent.

    Only if you multiply it by six.

  20. Re:I'm amazed on How Long Will It Take Streaming To Dominate the Music Business? · · Score: 3

    Just for giggles, I stream music from bands I like, even if I have the CD, just so they can get a couple bucks from me.

    Thank you for the 1/10th of a cent.

    Signed,
    the bands you like.
