Don't let them bum you out; the slash in slashdot is more about cutting than sharpness... It sounds like you did something pretty decent, and good luck with your studies. Stick to the low level/hardware interfacing side of the industry. Its a rich area with an increasing lack of expertise.
First its not a card; it just is. Superior, to me, seems pejorative. Superior doesn't really exist in my world view. Being ridiculous, however does exist in my world.
Maybe I'm not very good at being a "fan", but I doubt that even amongst the most diehard snap-on fanatics, I would find three that thought a "snap-on trivia" game would be more than laughable.
Anybody that over-attributes a simple tool into an alpha-geek contest, or worse "love", has a problem with not being able to see outside the micro world of their creation; thus micro-brained.
So, superior, no; inferior is in the eye of the beholder.
Not enough people would agree to throwing all the anal-retentive, socially retarded, micro-brained people in jail; but with GIT PARTIES, it is a bit like they are voluntarily joining the D+D crowd in their own little isolated societies.
It is a bit like Karaoke. All the people I don't want to be around and all the music I don't want to hear are concentrated in a place with a big warning sign.
Right up there in black & white. U? "U Got 'P L A Y E D!'", & you only played yourself by trolling others first for no reason.
I mean, who are YOU, anyhow, as far as telling anyone how to write and most importantly, if you are outnumbered here by 200 to 1 odds against you from some of the people here which is one of the most highly literate and rated forums out there there is, with the largest crowd registered (many are multiusername trolls though) of which that crowd's members said quite otherwise, vs. your "opinions" (thinly veiled word for your trolling)?
Even IF you had a PHD in English for Pete's sake, because in case you hadn't noticed? The topic was not about that. There is also no such forums here, for that either.
Above all else, if you had a PHD in English, you should be able to understand words within the framework of the context wherein they are used, and "catch the drift", not henpeck - it's not a class for a grade in academia here, not a job thing, not a legal document we write here. Get it?
So, gee, after that? Well, do You know what THAT, makes YOU? A troll. The lowest of the low. End of story.
Are they really that clueless? You would think that if they were that thick, they wouldn't be able to hold on to their market. Every dick and harry (not tom:) would be able to produce devices that rendered theirs obsolete, over priced and under featured.
Android, at least as of 2.0, was really crap; sure it could make a phone call, and mainly stay alive long enough to complete it, but it still ranked as a horrendous user experience.
I know the geek communituy will huddle around to protect its young, but while you do, can I ask all you Androiders to pull up your calculator and type the following:.0634+.113 SIN That is, exactly as a TI calculator would provide the answer as=.17548... Not the android calculator answer of: SIN(
OK, I pick on calculator because android pushed it as a simple idea of what an app could be if you really didn't give a shit about your customer. If you did give a shit about your customer, you might take the afternoon to make it behave like Apples; that is, just like a desktop calculator.
Android is like a petulant child hoping for the spotlight. The fan base are so afraid of stating the obvious, they are handing the curtains to Apple.
If you really cared about the possibility of Android, or open source mobile computing, you should hold them to at least the standard Apple does. You don't; You haven't, and like Linux Desktop, Android just continues to suck!
The joke was a bit subtle - google rim 900 or inter@ctive pager.
RIM was a pager company, that made fancy email pagers back when cell phones were about the size of a brick. Later they integrated the pager into a phone - the blackberry.
It seems that Aliens only want to address us by probing the rectums of trailer park inhabitants. It doesn't seem to be a stretch that Aliens are entranced by rectums and trailer parks.
If we concentrated our search for trailer parks, we are likely to find the places Aliens at least like to go on holiday; and that would be a start!
Eugenics, and a few of its kindred cousins, however are alive and well. Not necessarily in GMB, but 'the west' never fully divested itself of the ideas; even after the NAZIs gave us a front row seat in how badly these things can go.
In Canada - I'm from - we have a leading political party that is as much at home with the eugenics ideals as the Tea Party is in the US. Most European nations have some political movement that is only a scratch or two away from this nonsense. They are singing to a choir, and the real trick is to fix the choir.
If Germany does so well to put this to rest, good for them, but it isn't the solution. A modicum of education - real education, not that blended crap to make the fundamentalists happy - and a societal urge to push the racist instinct into the margins is the only way to stop it. Otherwise, sit back and wait for it to happen all over again. History has no sense of humour whatsoever.
Decent people needn't suffer from racist hatred; it is a learned trait has deep roots in ignorance. We already know how to fix that, we just have to get the ne'er do wells out of the picture. Fundamentalists Anonymous has a cure!
Zune was distinctive, and not just its colour scheme. I'm sure they could 'biggie' that squirt technology and have a tablet that could fling a poo. Imagine the Blamer dance with a poo flinging Bune.
One day, when you move out of your moms basement, you will run up against a number of challenges in our world. The company that provides electrical power to your moms house wants money in proportion (and then some) to the amount of money your mom extracted from their circuit. Similarly, the water and fuel companies want a cut. The government wants one for something else, and all this before paying for the actual house. In effect, they all want money. So, when you step out to this 'democracy of debt', and want to somehow be on the winning side of "time=money"; which app store will you choose?
I never thought of that sort of 'shooter', but it would make a pretty amusing game. Double points if the bathroom hookup turns out to be another republican politician?
I guess I agree in a different way. 'Play' that involves the fulfillment of violent revenge fantasies isn't morally ambiguous. Morally vacant is closer to the mark.
Morally ambiguous or conflicted, to me, means interesting.
The publisher could have at least had the shred of decency to call them insurgents.
The article implies that the 100Million times stronger magnetic field is where the power is tapped from; thus it would have to weaken the field. What happens to the light?
What happens to EM radiation if you remove the M? My physics is zero; I kinda get photon-electron pinball game, but if you bleed the magnetic power away, what happens to rest of it?

A guy sits down at the bar, and orders a drink. As soon as the bar tender serves him, this little guy appears, runs down the guys arm, kicks over his drink, and runs back up and hides.
This goes on for several drinks, before the bartender asks "whats up with that weird little guy?"
The guy says he released a genie from a bottle, and for his 3 wishes asked for millions of dollars, a garage full of Porsches and a 12" prick.

The Canadian government is owned by Texans; so no, Canada is in Texas now. We have our own mini GB, just lacking his likability and intelligence.

What about the porn/self-abuse market? It can respond to, uh, gestures, your rigid touch screen couldn't dream of.
Floppies are dead; don't you read?
Its hardly glorifying it to associated with this fairy tale. But maybe you should try a bud or two sometime.
Just say Perhaps.
If you don't you'll have Bruce Lee worked into this scenario...

If I knew the answer to that, I suppose I wouldn't be. Don't you think ? You should.
