I'd probably watch it, and maybe even yell at the TV screen. ;-)

Yeah, Sunday round-table programming is like low-impact aerobics for me; my respiration and heart rate go up dramatically from all that yelling, and my upper body get a nice workout from pounding my chair arms.

Not great for my blood pressure though.

Comment Flamebait, mods?! (Score 1) 643

To all of you who think that it's some kind of social repression to frown upon people who make a habbit of unashamedly expressing themselves in a vulgar and crass manner, I suggest you go see the movie Idiocracy, because it's about YOU.

You talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.

Apparently, mods who have not seen Idiocracy do not apparently see your comment as apropos of the GP.

The point of the thought experiment isn't realism. It's priorities. If you prefer, imagine a choice between two doors: behind door A is the job of your dreams, behind door B is the woman of your dreams. There isn't a right answer.

Your point about "enough" is well taken. Being able to get "enough" of something is probably a sign of psychological health. But there are only 24 hours in a day; there's no limit to how much money you can accrue on a balance sheet.

Submission + - Next Nintendo handheld to be NVIDIA Tegra powered (pcper.com)

Vigile writes: When you sell over a 100 million handheld gaming systems, everyone wants to be involved in your success; just ask Nintendo. As a company with many different obstacles in its path, NVIDIA could definitely use the boost in revenues that would come from partnering with a company like Nintendo on a handheld system and it looks like the Tegra processor will make that happen. The NVIDIA Tegra processor is an SoC that runs a set of ARM cores, a GeForce-based graphics core and an HD video processor capable of 1080p output that would definitely give the current Nintendo DS/DSi systems a performance boost inline with the Sony PSP. The "Nintendo TS" as it has been dubbed will apparently be ready for a late winter 2010 release and should put a spark in the mobile gaming market and give Nintendo's developers the power to bring higher quality games to the platform.
