  1. Re:Not everyone has fiber on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    No why?
    Hmm, kebabs do sound good though.

  2. Re:I think it's amazing Sony did this on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    This is why I am looking forward to the steambox.

    I don't really play multiplayer, but sometimes it might be nice to play those games from the couch. I magically manage to both play PC games and PS3 games.

  3. Re:Progress!? Who needs it? on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    3 folks in my office already have them preordered. My boss took a day off to collect his and play it.

    I am debating this or a steambox.

    $400 is not exactly a fortune.

    I think he meant 360, which requires a special MS blessed firmware. I believe they are/were banning people who managed to use non-approved drives.

    $179, which I consider pretty cheap for such drive.
    Sure its 15mm but there are laptops that will take them.

    You can get 1.5GB on a freaking microsd card.

    That is pretty much pathetic in 2013.

    My work issued 4g wifi access point beats that. Mind you that has a 30GB a month limit, but my uncapped FIOS plan makes even the 4g access point look sad.

  7. Re:do you really want to download 25-50GB games? on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 2

    Why store them on SSDs?

    The thing ships with a hard drive and 2TB laptop drives are cheap.

  8. Re:Obvious troll is obvious on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    It does not. Once I get to the store, buy the game and get home again that is probably 1 hour. In that time I can download an 8GB game.

    I thought he meant the blu-ray.

    Which has terrible seek times compared to spinning magnetic disk.

  10. Re:Obvious troll is obvious on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    As opposed to taking just as long to go to the store to buy it?

    I rather have the media, but honestly disks suck. The seek times are horrible.

  11. Re:PR crapapalooza on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 2

    Why an SSD?

    A 2TB laptop drive can be had for very cheap.

    Well we shall have to agree to disagree.

    I am fine with difference of opinion, but he wants to use the force of law to enforce that opinion. That is where he went into my list of do not deal with folks.

  13. Re:No longer a new release by the third holiday on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    Third occurrence of holiday watch on Netflix streaming or DVD delivered by mail.

    There are even other similar services.

  14. Re:Ethical fishing on Scientists Says Jellyfish Are Taking Over the Oceans · · Score: 2

    Huh?
    They are venomous, not poisonous.

    They are indeed edible.

    Who said anything about eating jellyfish?
    The GP mentioned lionfish.

  16. Re:About time on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    Depends on what you call a cable company.

    I have verizon FIOS.

  17. Re:Ethical fishing on Scientists Says Jellyfish Are Taking Over the Oceans · · Score: 2

    I always read articles about that sort of thing but I can never find them in any market. Why are invasive species not more readily available to purchase?

  18. Re:Never expect on Scientists Says Jellyfish Are Taking Over the Oceans · · Score: 4, Funny

    In/Around Australia I would expect the jellyfish to be 10 meters across and armed with giant fangs. Everything there seems to be there solely to ruin your day.

  19. Re:On the plus side on Scientists Says Jellyfish Are Taking Over the Oceans · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is there a better way to cook them?

  20. Re:It's a shame homophobephobes won't see it on Movie Review: Ender's Game · · Score: 1

    I try. I probably could do better, but I do try.

    I do not ask them if that is what you mean. Hell, if Card would not spout off his closet case nonsense in public and try to use the force of law against people I consider friends I might be willing to watch his movies.

    I call him a closet case because his latest works sure make him look like one.

    I did say most americans live within 500 miles of either coast.
    Did you merely wish to agree with me?

  22. Re:Hop on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    Holidays happen yearly. So no problem.

    Sporting events are different, but as you know not an issue for me. Nor are they an issue for the other people that have cut the cord.

  23. Re:in a strange twist of fate on Microsoft and Facebook Launch Internet Bug Bounty Program · · Score: 1

    You have to pay taxes on all income, including the illegal kind. So there is no problem with paying your mortgage that way.

  24. Re:About time on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    Those kinds of issues ended years ago. Most of us simply have fast enough internet connections.

    I have that option as well. For below $20 I have no need for cable.

  25. Re:Hop on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    Why is this a problem?
    Since I see very little advertising I normally don't even know they are late.

    I waited that long for the DVD releases of all the discworld movies.
