  1. Re:Maximum cable length on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    Yep, you're right. I mixed up his single cable per setup (1 cable for many boxes) and your plural boxes (1 cable per box). I apologize for mixing those up.

  2. Re:usb 3.0 cables are under $5 Thunderbolt $40+ on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    Ah, good point there, I overlooked that.

  3. Re:usb 3.0 cables are under $5 Thunderbolt $40+ on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    Give it 6 months and get a TB cable from Monoprice for roughly the same price as USB3.

  4. Re:Maximum cable length on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    How so? How do you run your Linux boxes from a basement up to, say, the first floor with 1 cable? Of course you won't answer, since you can't do what your saying you can.

  5. Re:USB 3 controller recommendations? on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    Don't confuse the confused more. It's not nice.

  6. 640K is enough for everyone on Thunderbolt vs. SuperSpeed USB · · Score: 1

    "....that while Thunderbolt may offer twice the bandwidth of SuperSpeed USB, most people simply won't need it..."
    Then MB drives were enough.
    Then GB drives were enough.
    Now TB drives are enough.

    1 GB RAM was enough.
    Then 2 GB RAM was enough.

    See were I'm going?

  7. Give him his own special colored card on How Do You Educate a Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    See previous article on "School stops color coded cards for students."

  8. Great, election by Facebook on The Data Crunching Prowess of Barack Obama · · Score: 1

    Can this farce of a political system get any worse?

  9. Re:Too little, too late on Netflix Kills Qwikster · · Score: 1

    Every time they have changed something, they send me an email way in advance. Like the new pricing structure. Plenty of time for me to change.

  10. Great, more beauracracy on Amazon Pushes For National Internet Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    And more wasted money on trying to implement this system. The IRS can't even handle it's own tax codes, so let's add some more in! Create a whole new department just for internet sales. Spend millions of $s trying to figure out every state's, county's, and city/town's tax codes. Spend millions keeping it updated.

    What could go wrong?

  11. Re:Reality Check, RMS on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    He's guilty of not giving everything away free. All software should be open to everyone. No patents should be filed. Blah, blah, blah. I get that people want to play around with stuff, but they also don't want to pay to play around with it. They want a full tummy with an empty cake plate in front of them.

  12. Re:Great no-hype article on techdirt about Jobs on Richard Stallman's Dissenting View of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    Well, that was quite the hackjob.

  13. Re:You'd think /. ers would be better at math. on Oil May Be Finite, But U.S. Production Is Ramping Up · · Score: 1

    Solar power- really toxic to make.

  14. And cue oil vs. green technologies fight on Oil May Be Finite, But U.S. Production Is Ramping Up · · Score: 1

    Oops, already underway.
    Carry on.

  15. Re:Apple Always Screws Up the Supply Chain on iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Sell Out · · Score: 1

    Oh, I'm now in the savvy elite class! Yay. clap clap clap clap!

  16. Re:I call BS on iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Sell Out · · Score: 1

    Yep, you're new here.

  17. Re:Maybe on purpose? on iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Sell Out · · Score: 1

    Oh, Canada. That's because you have the iMoosePad.

  18. Re:Apple's tablet market monopoly on Tablet Makers Try To Beat iPad's $500 Pricetag · · Score: 1

    Your 2nd paragraph was nigh poetic.

  19. Re:Or they could just release a good product on Tablet Makers Try To Beat iPad's $500 Pricetag · · Score: 1

    And then there are the TV shows.

  20. Re:That's because the "tablet market" doesn't exis on Tablet Makers Try To Beat iPad's $500 Pricetag · · Score: 1

    Dunkin' Donuts coffee is fairly good. They occasionally will have a 'special' coffee for about a month. A while back they had a very good Kona.

  21. Depends on how you use folders on Putting Emails In Folders Is a Waste of Time, Says IBM Study · · Score: 1

    If you have 15 folders of different things, that could take time. I have work, school, and web purchases. Everything else stays in the Inbox until trashed.

  22. Kind of disappointed on Graphene 'Big Mac' — One Step Closer To Microchips · · Score: 1

    I was expecting a new, huge Apple product in non-white colors, or some funky flavored McD's sandwich. The article was still pretty cool, though.

  23. Re:Those that don't do well should be embarassed on High School Kills Color-Coded ID Program · · Score: 1

    True, I recommend flogging for failed tests. It's one thing to motivate kids (those who do well get extra perks), and flat out embarrassing (those who don't do well). Great motivator, I'll just start calling my kids "morons" any time they don't get an A.

  24. Wow, just write an 'F' on their forehead on High School Kills Color-Coded ID Program · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Separate lines for lunch? Who could ever think this was a good idea. Sure, let the students doing well get some perks, just don't go around printing "Dumb" on the lesser achieving kids' foreheads. At least they wised up, even if it did take some external pressure to scrap the idea.

  25. We promise we're going to all this awesome stuff on Windows 8 To Reduce Memory Footprint · · Score: 1

    ...but it's not just there yet. FTFA.

    Get back to me when it is there.
