    Me, I like netting the PCBs that I find floating around in the ocean. It's a cool hobby of mine to try to figure out what parts to populate them with and what devices I will end up with.

    So far, I got an LED to blink.

    It's surprising how much you know about other peoples' religion. You know so much that you can actually prescribe what they believe. Clearly it's all-or-nothing and there's no allegory at all in the Old Testament. And that's how EVERY theologian interprets it. Thank you for your input, dude.

    'Local Corner Stores' have the highest prices of any stores, though. Certainly higher than chain supermarkets, because they don't deal in the volume necessary to have cheap distribution costs.

    In fact, a lot of the hue and cry that occurs when WalMart moves into an area comes from the proprietors at corner stores like the one in my student days, in an urban student neighborhood, that we called the 'Market Up.'

    Having a degree is not a liability. Unless one makes it a liability through one's assumptions about other people who do not have a degree.

    Where does one buy or fabricate an open source FPGA? I mean, it isn't TTL that I can use a wire-wrap gun to fabricate. Are the FPGA programming tools open source as well? I am asking, not challenging in this comment because I'd like to obtain said tools. Every FPGA tool that I am aware of is proprietary and closed.

    You're just bitter because you thought you were actually accomplishing something in the end by playing the game, whereas you were supposed to be enjoying yourself while playing the game. It doesn't 'get better' when you finally reach max level. It isn't 'grinding' to play the game within the lower levels. You're supposed to be there, in the virtual world, having fun. It's supposed to be fun all along the way.

    I consider solo MMORPGing to being in a spun up world that has dynamic processes in play. An economy, and other individuals within the economy to compete with in interesting ways. Resources to harvest, craft with, etc.

    I don't care that Blizzard employes a bunch of prima-donnas who think their 'content' for the endgame is all that matters. If it gives them something to do that doesn't fuck up the basic structure of the game, so be it.

    There always needs to be a level of frilly bullshit in every society, virtual or real. Froth at the top that keeps the whole place vital and interesting. And I suppose diligent airhead 'endgamers' to keep the froth fresh and foamy.

    that a huge red flag that says you have absolutely no interest in learning.

    Wrong. It means they have absolutely no interest in pedagogy. And probably little interest in the 'material' that a clueless fuck whose degree is in Education has to 'present' to them. Learning is a lifelong pursuit, whereas the people who are most successful in formal 'education' environments are the skilled rats who learn what lever to press. After they graduate, they want to watch football for the rest of their lives.

    The game wouldn't even be interesting to me if there weren't other servers to switch to after a character has leveled up to the point of being boring. The game for me is roleplaying up to about level 85 then starting over.

    All the store-bought mounts, and even the earned 'epic' mounts look like big fat power-boats to me. Ugly as shit when not in the air. Likewise the fat pandas wobbling around on their giant tortoises. I'll get around on a black griffon, thank you. A gnome or goblin assassin on a canoe.

    I'll admit the game probably wouldn't pay out for the publisher enough to still exist in an interesting form, with an economy, etc. that is interesting to exist within, without the endgame for those others. But I'm a nerd, and I don't care very much what the jocks are doing over in their areas. It can be annoying at busy times to have to frequent the places in the game where they've gathered to queue up and dork around on their giant e-peen mounts, but I don't have to spend much time there.
