You have to pay a little more for one that can write fancy words like "paraphrase."

I was interested in one, once, but you can get a much more powerful Android phone for the same price as a Pi

Really? Without a contract? I wouldn't mind a link to one.

I was curious about this as well and his claim actually isn't as far off as you might think. Amazon's got prepaid phones that support HDMI output starting around $220. Personally I've got about $90 into my Pi, counting the SD Card and case. If you also want WiFi that's another twenty bucks, plus another $13 for a powered USB hub since the Pi itself can't put out enough juice. A phone's still more expensive, but isn't too much more when you consider it'd also have a built-in display, battery, and GSM or CDMA radio.

Have you considered the possibility that your dad is Val Kilmer?

I bought a hundred-dollar pen because I always lose pens and I was sick of not caring.

Why on Earth should he even have to find the skip button?

I guess this is what happens when your design language is about typography instead of about... you know... actually doing stuff.

Heheheh. You're fired...just as soon as we figure out what the heck that function does!

Well that's an easy one: EVERYTHING!

The ridiculous price of cable is the entire reason I have Netflix in the first place. Never mind $100 a month, if it were $50 I'd cancel it in a heartbeat.

try a big search, then sorting by price, and tell me you don't find several that are out-of-sequence

Usually I find this is caused by the asshattery that is MAP pricing. Manufacturers set a minimum price retailers can advertise, and you have to add the thing to the cart (or sometimes all but place the order) to see the actual price. The search results still sort by the real price though.

Somehow I don't think bragging about how fast you were is ever going to catch on.

I pick Episode 3.

Oh hey, it's the last person on Earth who hasn't been exposed to a shock site. And he's on Slashdot. This will end well.

You can't get Firefox or VLC for iOS because of Apple's walled garden, both of which are things a non-technical person might reasonably want to use.

Nothing better on a cold night like this than some boiling hot soup! Why don't I just go ahead and heat you up a cup? It's made from turtles! Turtles that you love!

Well that largely depends on how good the classes are and why you want the degree, doesn't it? If you finish the degree and know the subject material as well as someone who spent thousands on theirs, is that enough value for your $100?
