  1. Re:Home Automated Living Has Been Out for 20 Years on Samsung Buys Kickstarter-Funded Internet of Things Startup For $200MM · · Score: 1

    Smart Things doesn't use X10.

  2. Re:Great on Samsung Buys Kickstarter-Funded Internet of Things Startup For $200MM · · Score: 1

    Kickstarter is not an investment platform. It's a donation platform.

  3. Re:IMHO It's not that hard. on Sparse's Story Illustrates the Potholes Faced By Hardware Start-Ups · · Score: 1

    Do you think I'd mention it if it was a negative exponent?

  4. IMHO It's not that hard. on Sparse's Story Illustrates the Potholes Faced By Hardware Start-Ups · · Score: 1

    Our hardware (also software heavy) start up was recently acquired for an exponent of our annual gross revenue. The company started ~18 months ago, and we went from idea to Indiegogo to shipping in 12. ALL MADE IN NORTH AMERICA (sure some components were sourced from Asia but design and assembly all in NA). I've done harder things in my life.

  5. Re:Pieces of impossible on Ask Slashdot: Beginner To Intermediate Programming Projects? · · Score: 1

    This is an excellent response. OP please put great weight on what ddt says. As a professional I can't tell you how many times I've been programming w/rt subject matter I love and been amazed at how little effort seemingly impossible projects take to come together. I've also noticed when I'm not thrilled/interested/excited about a project I tend to view tasks as much more difficult than they end up being.

  6. Talking on House Committee Approves Bill Banning In-Flight Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    How is someone talking endlessly on their cell any different from the two people directly behind me chatting for hours? Let's just pass a law that everyone must not generate more than 20db for the entire flight (sarcasm).

  7. Math fail... I thought we're all neckbeards here? on CES 2014: A Bedbug Detector that Looks Interesting but has Detractors (Video) · · Score: 1

    Ugh it hasn't been "several" weeks since CES closed. My company was there so I know it ended Jan 10. Let's do some grade 1 math: Jan 21 (when this post was written) - Jan 10 = 11. Several is definitely plural, so you'd need at least 14 days. 14 > 11.

    "information site to assist the remaining crusty luddites with the switch-over" Yeah, lots of luddites on the internet.
