Yep, I live in the stone ages, but at least I know every corner of my systems.
At least you see a movie. I have not been able to see one on
Really, are you using Lynx on a *nix box?
What OS are you using?
"pure and utter sh*t," only with no asterisk
So he actually called it, "pure and utter sht"?
Remember, that's the guy that said "Nvidia, F*CK YOU!". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
He's a passionate, colorful character...he's been like that for as long as I can remember him. Thank god there's still awesome nerds out there that just can't be bought.
An OLED display ensures that you'll be buying a replacement every two years as your colours turn to crap. They should have stuck with LCD.
That statement is not true at all!
I was one of the early adopters of items with an OLED display, my HTC Legend (A cellphone with OLED display). I use it every day, surf with it all the time - and it's now 4 years old, and colors as brilliant as it was new, the Red, Green and Blue is absolutely perfect (to my eyes anyway, and I'm a graphics artist for whatever it's worth).
And besides... how often will you use some headgear VR equipment? It's not like you'll use it 8 hours a day, not even the most hardcore gamer would use a thing like that for THAT long, it's very tiring to have a device like that stuck to your face like a CPAP mask. Just wear a diving mask....even a light one, for ONE hour...and you'll catch my drift.
Yeah, it's the early days of home computers and this is nothing more than a "Speak and Spell".
The TI Speak & Spell was incredibly sophisticated for its time, imagine a device in 1978 that had a character screen, plug-in vocabulary software modules, game apps, and of all things...could SPEAK OUT LOUD with sounds that where created by A speech synthesis processor instead of just samples. We didn't even have Commodore vic 20 or Commodore 64 by then, the Speak and Spell was an amazing piece of hardware. The speech synthesis chip TMS 5220 still blows me away with what it can do. You'll also find that chip (and it's siblings) inside various Arcade machines AND pinball machines, even more recent pinball machines.
And just to top that off, that little portable "computer", lasts for YEARS on a single set of batteries using it several hours each month, and it's soft-switch technology! Not even cellphones handle that kind of standby times even with the network disconnected. Don't diss the TI S&S!
"The world is coming to an end! Pay me money to find out how!"
Hahaha, yeah - classic, it's always like that, something is doomed somewhere, and it's always paywalled or lead to a book, dvd, newspaper or something you have to buy.
Mis-spelling dyslexic as you angrily insult someone -- priceless humour, thank you!
er-hm...yes, that's why...if you click on my profile...it says "Comedian" under my achievements, I guess that one was kind of involuntary, but I'll take what I can get. *smacks head*.
That was the most misogynistic thing in this comments so far, well done. Coupled with that, it shows a complete lack of understanding he issue and the article.
Good, better than being a dyslectic apologist with inferiority issues. What part of being a man did you not get?
Jesus christ...
I'm very flattered by that comparison, but I'm sure the other sex would have something else to say about that...
The problem is the other way round. Women are being socialised to constantly challenge men, and believe their opinion must always be heard and respected. And if it's not heard or disagreed with, it's sexist. Men understand that there is a certain pecking order and know how to engage correctly to get their view heard. And guess what? That means we need to share our opinions in a gentle manner too. More and more women expect men to act like their partner would toward them. That's not how it works, it's a dog eats dog world and in business, it's the modern jungle. We are all motivated by selfish desires whether we admit it or not, women just want to get a leg over like any one else, but cry sexist when they are pushed down (from other people who are also trying to rise to the top. There is no place for socialism in the work place. It's hierarchical like it or not.
Ain't that the truth! And just to make the deal even sweeter - women here in Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) are now FORCING businesses to employ women in order to achieve a 50-50 balance between men and women in leading positions and the rest of the workforce as well. If they don't abide by this, they can get FINED.
I don't even want to start my own business in Sweden or Denmark just because of this. My former employer in Denmark almost went bankrupt when 4 of the 10 employees he had wanted to take out maternity leave at the same time and he had to (by LAW) pay them for 10 months scot-free, gratis for nothing!
