    I want to know where this Walmart is that I can buy a 4-pack of 32GB sticks for $10 (seriously, if it's real I want to know...)

    That's actually the part that I didn't understand... the shape feels same to me and my middle finger just rests on the scroll wheel instead of the middle button. Is it just the slightly wider area?

    Oh, I wasn't claiming the threat was credible or the reaction warranted (I don't believe either), just countering the assertion that the hackers hadn't invoked 9/11.

    Umm, it's clearly in the text of the threat.

    We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places “The Interview” be shown, including the premiere, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to.
    Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made.
    The world will be full of fear.
    Remember the 11th of September 2001.
    We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time.
    (If your house is nearby, you’d better leave.)
    Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
    All the world will denounce the SONY.

  10. Re:XBMC Finally? on $35 Quad-core Hacker SBC Offers Raspberry Pi-like Size and I/O · · Score: 1

    I've actually been using a NEO-6M hacked to do timing output (because I hadn't found any affortable 6t's yet), but the procedure to get it to do that is annoying, and the antenna that came with it is a piece of crap. I'm going to go ahead and inquire with synergy to see if they still have these (don't see them on the website) and probably order. So thanks again :)

    Bluetooth can absolutely do file transfers, and most (all?) Android phones have that functionality built-in. Many older dumbphones (without wifi) did too. Perhaps you're using an iPhone? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...

  18. Re:misunderstanding of the internet? on Supreme Court Rules Against Aereo Streaming Service · · Score: 1

    My reaction to this ruling was to breathe a sigh of relief, because the likely consequence to an Aereo victory was the continued erosion of original content on OTA. That business model is hard enough to maintain as is with ad revenue.

    Just like all the content companies were going to stop putting anything on the air without mandatory enforcement of the broadcast flag, right?

    They do... if you review any of the available information on the case it's obvious that she is both physically and psychologically much worse off now. Wheelchair-bound instead of ice-skating and smuggling notes begging to be taken out and saying "I feel like I'm in jail". BCH and the judge messed up (possibly with good intentions at first) and now are perpetuating their mistake to try to cover it up.

  24. Re:Maybe they deserve it on Amazon Angling For Same-Day Delivery Beyond Groceries · · Score: 1

    Along the same lines of not integrating online and brick-and-mortar, I hate that most stores don't have a good way to access in-store inventory online. If I'm visiting Sears' website, it's generally not because I want to order something online from Sears, and even less likely that I want to buy from another seller on Sears' copy-cat Amazon marketplace. It's because I want something now and I want to find out if the store has it. As far as I can tell, that's pretty much impossible with most stores other than by going in yourself or taking the time to call every store and find someone in the right department who can tell you whether they have the sort of item you're looking for.
