    Isn't USB slow especially with CPU usage when doing more than one at the same time?

    ##
    You can now redeem iTunes gift cards without having to type in that
    723-digit code number. Just hold the bar code up to your computerâ(TM)s
    Webcam; iTunes does the rest.

    That is neat.

  3. Re:I Wonder? on Windows XP Drops Below 40% Market Share While Windows 8 Passes 1% · · Score: 1

    For me, XP Pro. SP3 until 2014 when its support end. Then, I will go to 64-bit 7 or something else beside Windows 8. Maybe W9 will be out that is correctly designed like Vista to 7.

  16. Re:Why the hate? on DOOM 3 BFG Edition On Github, Timed For Oculus Rift · · Score: 1

    Ditto. It wasn't bad. I enjoyed it. I am not a fan of the hell levels though. The game was a bit linear too. There are mod(ification)s and maps that are good!

  17. Re:Clean Rooms? on Sandia Lab Celebrates Inventor of the Modern Clean Room · · Score: 1

    Ditto in my home, especially my rooms with computers. My parents think I am a dust magnet with them. :( Is there a home version of a clean room technology? Air filters don't seem to work.
