  1. Re:Alternate implementation on Japan To End Tourists' Toilet Trouble With Standardised Buttons (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't know anything about seashells but I knitted a really nice sweater yesterday.

  2. 80 rupees? on Apple App Store Prices Rise in UK, India and Turkey (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's only four red rupees. It's rather easy to get even with the wooden sword.

    What are we supposed to do with 40 cents?

    Sure it does. The real problem is with electric cars in Australian, where you have to invert the phase.

    It's probably a daily drive for some people, a weekly drive for others, a monthly drive for a few, etc.

    I'm not anti-electric by any mean, but we do have to admit that we have to drive a lot between major cities.

    Me? I could probably charge an electric car with a small 50km range only once a week and be more than okay. But I'm not going to pay 20K$+ for such a car.

  6. Re:It's about landmass on China, Europe Drive Shift To Electric Cars as US Lags (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of the distance between, say, Montréal and Québec city, or Montréal and Ottawa, etc.

    But as soon as you get out of one of those urban center, you probably need to drive 2~4 hours to get to another urban center.

  8. I only want one thing on Don't Call Switch a Tablet, Also It's Not Here To Oust the 3DS, Says Nintendo (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A good, real Metroid game. None of this "Federation Force" stuff.

    I've heard there's going to be a lot of jobs available on the moon and Mars.

  10. Re:This is insane behavior. on Apple Planning To Make Original TV Shows and Movies as Hardware Sales Soften (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Just watch keynotes where Scott Forstall takes the stage. If he's not Steve Jobs 2.0, I don't know who is.

    The cake is a lie.

    The only things you can use from Google right now* are search, maps, ads.

    And I blame E.T. for starting it all.

  16. Nobody answered or asked this question yet on Hackers Unlock NES Classic, Upload New Games Via USB Cable (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What is the internal capacity? Is there only enough for roughly 30 NES games or does it have enough space for 300? How about 3000?

    Does it support all the mappers or only a few specific ones? (MMC3, VRC2, etc)

  17. Nintendo should have made the unit with the less built-in games and sold mini-NES cartridges at different prices, i.e. Zelda (1 and 2), Mega Man collection (all the NES Mega Man games), etc. The collectors alone would have paid a lot to have an official miniature Zelda gold cart.

  18. Re:So is a Smartphone on Intel's Compute Card Is a PC That Can Fit In Your Wallet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    No it's not. A smartphone has a high-resolution touch screen display and a battery.

  19. Blue rubber fridge dirt.

  20. Vogons are slug-like but vaguely humanoid, are bulkier than humans, and have green skin. Vogons are described as “one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy—not actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous", and having "as much sex appeal as a road accident" as well as being the authors of "the third worst poetry in the universe".

    If you look at the long-term chart, it does crash a bit after rising too fast, but it crashes down above the previous value and then continues to climb. It's similar to charts of the adoption rate of new technologies.

    Wile E. Coyote really does work for Amazon.

    And yet the PC guys basically need Windows for most of their games. So who are the real dummies here?
