    By saying things like "why exactly wasn't the money seized" you are showing your ignorance and then complaining about things you do not understand.

    audio, I don't recall the built-in speaker in my 1000EX putting out much in the way of hi-fi...

    It was no Roland MT-32 but it sure was better than the standard internal PC speaker.

  3. My first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer 2 with 64KB of RAM and tape drive. About eight minutes to load the game "Popeye" if I remember correctly.

    But you still had Tandy Color Graphics and Tandy 3-voice sound. Weren't most people of that era stuck with CGA graphics and a crappy internal speaker?

  5. Well I could 3D-print one today but I've never heard of polylactide batteries.

    If it's for stationary systems, wouldn't nickel–iron batteries be better in every way except weight?

  7. Global lithium-ion battery demand from electric vehicles is projected to grow from 21 gigawatt-hours in 2016 to 1,300 gigawatt-hours in 2030, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

    Let's say you charge your car once a day.
    If the battery costs a fraction and weights half of a lithium-ion battery, that means longer range for your car and taking recycling into account, it could be better in every way especially if the recycling percentage is higher and the leftovers are less damaging to the environment.

  9. I can't wait to buy some of these rechargeable aluminum-based alkaline batteries in 2037!

  10. While a poutine is far from visually appealing, you have no right to judge until you've tried it. And I mean a real poutine, not a fake one from another country that will get from 1/3 to 2/3 of the ingredients wrong.

    And yet you wasted even more time writing your reply.

    Bitcoin is already beating them all. It's cross-platform, international and you can't have your funds withheld for no reason.

  13. AFK making a poutine. BBL.

  14. Damnit, now I want a poutine.

  15. Never, ever challenge a Canadian to a poutine eating contest.

    Some of us would eat another poutine as a dessert after winning the contest.

  16. Dual pilots yes, on the U.S.A. robot but I don't see how that would be dull.

  17. I'm not going to install Firefox just to see that, sorry.

  18. Remove all the air, that way it cannot become polluted.

  19. Who cares about Intel and Microsoft and browsers? Only nerds watch Netflix on a freakin' computer. Normal people use set-top boxes and tablets.

  21. I'm still waiting for quad-core Arduino ATmega328P.

  22. If both Netflix and Apple are going with H.265 then we don't have a choice.

    The fate of the alternatives is already decided and will join other relics like HD-DVD, miniDisc, etc.

  23. I want better video quality, but in the sense that I'd like to see higher 720P quality at lower bitrates.

  24. Apple means paying customers, so they have a huge weight on CODEC decision for the market.

    But there is one company much bigger than Apple when talking about video and that is of course Netflix. Whatever Netflix decides, companies will have to follow.
