I guess what you are trying to say is that you can't recapture your youth. Yes it would not be the same, running to the arcade with friends on a hot summer evening to play asteroids and avenger. Then watching in total awe as some older kid had like a 100 free ships and was killing the high score, his eyes bloodshot, ship scrolling up and down the screen with one tiny rock left and him annihilating any little ship that dare peak out. It was just as fun to watch a master as it was to play the game yourself. I remember installing an emulator on an early generation xbmc (the version 1.0 console) and you are right, it just wasn't the same. But dangnammit when I am 80 I will remember fondly how my Pi warned me that my basement was about to flood....on that hot summer night.........
I need to get off my duff and buy one of these things. So many cool things you can do. I found plans to use a Pi to monitor my sump pit water level which texts/emails you if your pump fails and the water rises past a certain level. And this here would make such a cool video game enclosure for a rec room. Imagine all the games we used to pump quarters into. I could buy a boat load of Pi's with the ones I spent when i was a kid.
What a load of elitist bullshit. Maybe he has already done a lot of research and has a good idea. Do you really think he is panicking and turning to/. because he has no clue? I think that this, being a technical community that still has alot of expertise and insight in it, he decided to hear other peoples/professionals perspectives.
I don't know, but if crypto currencies and everything surrounding their evolution is not "news for nerds" then I don't know what is. Beats the hell out of another Apple or Samsung story.
Ya and the next 10 million will not be completely mined until 2140. I bet there are a couple of million that are lost for good when they were worth nothing.
Charliemopps, I am not questioning you or judging you in any way, I am genuinely trying to understand why someone needs a gun ready and loaded at all times. I have no doubt that you are responsible gun owner and a good fella, I just can't get into a headspace where I would see myself needing to have a weapon ready and loaded. What is the the imminent threat where you are from? I also own a gun, a 12gauge semi automatic securely locked with no ammo. I use it only for hunting small game and would never in my life think of loading it in the house. Anyway I seek to understand only because from my side of the fence it doesn't make any sense. This would probably be a good conversation between two guys having a beer.
I don't think it makes sense to put more value on the hardware than on your personal information. Full system encryption and full system backups are the best approach. If you really want to be a hero, at the very least install your everyday OS to a hidden partition and have a decoy OS on the main partition that the perp will use so you can have your "hilarious blog material". But overall, get over it man, because your laptop is gone. At least the most valuable thing (your information) will not be accessed.
I'm just the opposite, I have a hard time reading paper now that I'm accustomed to my Kobo. The exception being reference types books that are not read in a linear fashion. Those are just downright painful on an ereader.
i thought of Full Throttle as well. I have that CD somewhere. This game was just a blast and isn't that what it is really all about anyway. My nephew was just a kid back then, he's 24 now and he still talks about that game as the first one he played. That's it, scavenger hunt, must find it.
I don't understand. Your account is following people you never told it to follow? I can see having a bunch of bogus people following you but the other way around. My account has never randomly followed people I did not want it to follow.
Then 99.999% of all people are doing things badly for the simple reason that they cannot get a static IP address. Not to mention all the port blocking making running an email server in your home futile. It is not even a matter of personal choice. For the vast majority of those even willing to, they pretty much have to go with a VPS. I am with google now on my own domain but have considered moving my email to my own VPS. Years ago work allowed me to setup my own on their network and I really enjoyed the experience. Then as I roll up my sleeves to get going I think, geez google does a fine job, there are more interesting things to work on.
Dude you need to start watching Duck Dynasty. It will change your attitude about TV. It's about this family in Louisiana that....oh forget it, its starting now and I don't have time to explain. Google Duck Dynasty and then come back and we can chat. Gotta go....
Maybe he is an asshole, but if somebody were to call me a masturbating monkey then I would know where I stand with them. I rather see an asshole coming at me head on then behind my back.
As a user I want to see the product on as many platforms as possible. Can't argue that. As a company Office is one advantage that this Surface turd may actually have. Best to see how it fares before killing any chance of success by making it available to the tablet leader and just making Apples life easier and their stronghold stronger. The payoff could be huge compared to the 2.5B the could get from IOS Office. (they pulled that # out of their ass right DNRTFA).

You are welcome!
AC is really schizophrenic man.

Fair enough. Thanks for answering.

...Also...how's that LLVM/Clang/WebKit/CUPS you're using?
I must have bitcoin on the brain because I thought you were asking for a donation.

I resent that. I do not make you change your passwords every other day.
You are thinking confrontation when the real players would be better off thinking cartel. Why fight when they can all get rich?

I try to take two 30 min brisk walks (am and pm). Clears the mind too.

Just put your fighter jet behind a good home router. You should be fine.
I have been using Opera Mobile for a while now and am very impressed with it.
