    I agree, Moz://a is the only one that's easily recognizable. The others were done by someone who just discovered the psychedelic artwork styles of the 50's and 60's.

    If it used to be good enough for millions of computers world-wide, it's good enough for your walls.

    First, why is this still happening in 2016?

    The best hardware in the world is useless if you have no software to run on it. - (can't recall who said that)

    Also, software aside, which one is "the best" depends on what your project is. This thing would be completely worthless for a tiny gaming system.

  10. Re:Something they love... while collecting $$$... on Nintendo Shuts Down 'Pokemon Uranium' Fan Game After 1.5 Million Downloads (thewrap.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's see here... 1.5 million downloads with an optional suggested donation of $2~10 equals about zero.

  11. Always online games are fine. You don't need much bandwidth even for most MMORPGs. But generating the video on servers and streaming video to you is a bad idea. It adds latency and wastes bandwidth.

  12. Skylake and Mobile GTX-1060, maybe?

    NVIDIA Mobile GeForce GTX 1060:
    GPU Core: GP 106
    TDP: Approx 75 Watts
    1280 Cores
    1400MHz Base, 1670MHz Boost Clock
    Memory: 6GB GDDR5
    Memory IF 192-Bit, 8Gps Datarate

    Yikes, 75 watts. Never mind, there's no way Apple's going to use this in anything but the iMacs.

  13. I guess it all depends on what "affordable" means to someone like Elon Musk.

  14. How low will he go? A small two-seats electric car under $10K would basically destroy all the other car companies.

  15. Once they can fit in 90% of drivers' wallets they'll be way too tiny to be useful.

    A multi-comic arc, eh? Why did he do that? What's his angle?

  17. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...

  18. Re:The First Ones on Maybe There's No Life in Space Because We're Too Early · · Score: 1

    I had to go to the hospital last week. I discussed that very topic with my doctor and while I can't recall all the details, I do remember that he told me the very first ones were probably angels and that they were weeping for some reason.

    Sent from 1989.

  19. Obligatory Star Trek: TNG episode on Maybe There's No Life in Space Because We're Too Early · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So, we're those guys after all?

  20. Is there any such setting to disable on OS X/macOS?

  21. If we're talking about music on iTunes, none would fit. There hasn't been DRM'ed music files on iTunes for a few years now.

  22. Doesn't copyright law also protect derivative works by other authors though?

    USB? You mean a connector that could be used for keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, hard drives?

    That sounds like science-fiction to me.
