    I honestly doubt they will. So long as there is enough market to keep it alive that is all that really matters.

    Typical home users are pretty far behind the curve on almost all new technology.

    By slow I mean the latency not the throughput.

    I meant on the other end, or are you leaving this cable in all the time?

    I would rather not play games over such a slow link.

    Then why do they keep releasing them for 360?
    Or why did it not kill the original xbox?

    Piracy can hurt developers, but only so much and other factors are a far bigger influence on the modern make a console game and port it to PC procedure.

    Have you found a good solution for HMDI plugs?

    All the ones on my devices are on the back and a bitch to get too. What I want is a way to plug my phone in to the front of the TV area and hook it up to wall power while doing so. A docking device would be best probably.

  7. Re:No heat sink on Ouya Dev Consoles Ship, SDK Released · · Score: 1

    MS stuck the unit inside a plastic case. A case they designed before the actual motherboard.

    Heat sinks can deal with pretty much as much power as you want, provided you are willing to use a big enough heat sink. Bolt even an i7 to a 500lb copper lump and I bet it does fine.

    Only if they also let you use outside services without tithing to them unlike MS.

    The first time I was at a friends house and wanted to watch netflix using my account I almost died laughing when he told we could not since he did not pay for the gold version of the service. Talk about extortion "Pay us to use a totally unrelated service that costs us nothing".

    Why would you ask a bestbuy sales person anything?They cannot answer questions, nor can they help you. They might be able to run a register, but not even that will be done in a competent manner odds are.

    There are SLI capable cards in the $100 range.

    Will this take bluetooth standard controllers?
    From the video it looks like they are shipping without real directional buttons and instead have the same braindead Xbox design.

    Also put the fucking sticks in the middle where they belong, just clone a PS3 controller or thrustmaster and be done with it.

    I am not religious in anyway. Stop fucking sheep and putting up strawmen. The South Koreans should pay because the is what reunifying would mean. If you don't think they should reunify just say so.

    I am buying a 60" 3d tv soon, try to find one that does not have these pointless features. I don't have cable nor an antenna it will purely be for my HTPC and PS3.

    It is stored in caves and wheeled out when needed. It is about the only thing they can keep running.

    They have kept them stored there for ages, who knows if they work but they are there.

    Even if they did not costs of reunification are so high no one wants to touch it.

    The simple answer is to make it illegal to use that information that way. Just like the insurer should not know if I told my doctor I smoke crack or not.

    No fucking way. The DPRK has artillerie that can hit Seoul. Nor do the leaders of South Korea really relish the thought of paying the huge costs of unification and bringing the North up to the standards of the South. Look at the fall of the DDR and the cost to Germany during unification. This would be worse, far worse.

    Same thing with over the road trucking. They pay far less fuel tax as compared to the damage they do to the roads.

    Way to miss the point. The vast majority of the 47% are in the exact same position. They paid in all their lives and are now collecting. At the same time they seem to think these things are just paying out to crack addicted inner city unwed mothers.
