"There are three freely convertible currencies in the world, but none of them count. The American Dollar has recently collapsed, the Renminbi is only exchangeable for other Renminbi, and the Apple Quarter has its own very special problems. It exchange rate of five Apple Nickels to one Apple Quarter is simple enough, but since an Apple Quarter is worth $100 billions, no one has ever collected enough to own one Apple Quarter. Canadian Tire bills are not negotiable currency, because banks refuse to deal with monopoly money. From this basic premise it is very simple to prove that the banks are also the product of a deranged imagination."
... the processing time is averaging under 10 seconds which is pretty impressive considering there's no company, government or other centralized organization involved in the transfer.
I think you just explained the reason for the speed.
The argument goes like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.' `But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.' `Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly disappears in a puff of logic. `Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
If you modify the phase variance, invert the polarity and transfer 10% of the dilithium matrix into your processing center, you might just hear a faint wooosh.
That is, if you're not in the holodeck. But how would you know?

Sure there is. You just have to get to the fridge at 11:55.

If one electrode equals one pixel of vision on a grid, 1600 electrodes would only mean a vision of 40x40 pixels.
I don't see why anyone would have anything against MBAs. They're thin, lightweight and have a dual-core Intel Core i5!
There's no such thing as "MPEG3". It's MPEG audio Layer 3.
The correct spelling is "Björk" and you can only pronounce it correctly when you have hiccups.

At the current rate, it means your add-ons will stop working around 2022.
The parent was asking for a "monitor" instead of a TV and said he never used TV features such as tuners and speakers.
I was pointing out that there is monitors with HDMI inputs, which means they can be used by non-computers devices.
They're not in the 40-60 inches range, but most decent computer monitors now have at least one HDMI input.

Doesn't it count as prior art? Not to mention all the other touch devices that had been available before the Newton.

Indeed.
