    Realityimpaired - I'm a woman if that's what you mean. I don't like to play games so I'll just say I'm a Canadian, I own an android-based smart phone, I post on Slashdot and I'm interested in meeting a man.

    NERD #4 - A woman. I'm scared.

  12. Re:iPad on 7-Inch iPad Rumored · · Score: 1

    A suit made of iPod touch... crazy idea, convert yourself into a giant walking digital billboard. You only need some software to split up the image and send it to all the iPods, maybe have one more recent iPod touch as the master and use first generation, slower models for all the others to lower costs.

    Anyone willing to take that challenge? Just wait until the 4th generation iPod touch comes out in about one month and you should have a very good supply of dirt-cheap first-generation iPod touch on eBay, Craigslist, etc.

    Whoever modded this troll never had to code in the IE 5.5 era. The Windows and Mac versions had the same version number but were different programs with different deviances from the standards.

    And IE 5.5 for Mac wasn't the same as IE 5.5 for Windows. jDeepbeep was wrong about the version, but he's right about the developer nightmare point.
