"There's no way you could be as stupid as Metal guys were portrayed in those movies, and put on a live show."

It worked for metallica.

On the other hand, any of us that have worked in science or tech has known someone that is like sheldon..... EXACTLY like sheldon....
But then I have also worked with a Moss clone from the IT crowd...

"if we won't do something about these ISIS people, they will not stop until they reach the borders of the western world, and by then it will be too late. "

Only if dipshits vote for and pass laws disarming the american citizens.

You want to know why Japan never tried an attack on the US mainland? They knew the citizens outgunned their army 40 to 1.

You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." - Soroku Yamamoto.

Actually technically he is right if we kill them all very fast.

nuke 80% of the middle east, full on carpet bomb every square mile with overlapping bursts and you will not have 2 more spring up. you will actually wipe them all out for good and not have any problems with middle eastern terrorisim.

The problem is surviving the 60 year nuclear winter afterwards.

Are you really that retarded?

The republicans call them damn illegal immigrant children.

We have kids running away from some horrific violence and the fucking scumbag GOP assholes want to turn them away.

"But thus far, the logitech harmony series is the only thing I've found that actually gets that job done at all and therefore is the best by default."

Try the real stuff. Control 4, Crestron and AMX all blow the harmony remote out of the water so badly it is not funny. Hell even the URC programmable remotes make a harmony look like a joke.

No, but you are required to start printing out advertisements form online and mailing them to your neighbors.

"and I'm not letting water nor fire run when I'm not home "

I do as well as million of home owners do. Fire is in my furnace and it's running right now with me not home. And my sprinkler system was running at 8am a full hour after I had left for work. Many times I will start a load of laundry on my way out of the house and let that run, million of people do this.

Dude, get over your paranoia.

Only a fool would be OK with cloud based control and automation. If all the processing and control is not done on the local LAN then the product is 100% crap.

And yes I am calling most of this consumer "smart home" products utter crap.

These games should have been released for android/IOS years ago.. they would have made a buttload of money off of that old IP.

If they are just going to sit on it they need to release it and let people that are not lazy make it come back to life.

Where do you stand? at a better job at a different company.

you can hide under your desk and hope your master will praise you, or you can demand being treated like a professional and demand the respect and be treated as an employee and not a slave.

Sheeple programmers that dont have the balls to tell their managers. "go fuck yourself"

Stop letting people roll over you and treat you as a slave. You are the expert, and if you are actually good at what you do you can stand up and say, "no! that is unreasonable"

For the record, Finland is not part of Scandinavia, since they speak a completely unrelated language. Scandinavia plus Finland and others are correctly referred to as The Nordic Countries".
