Comment nobody wants U (Score -1, Troll) 60

I am so sick of U-chips. All the new mobile 4th edition chips are underclocked basically. They could be immensely faster than the 3rd generation ones but noooo, they had to turn them down to a lower clock speed. You know, because double the battery life makes sense when everything takes twice as long to process. Hurray for logic. The new pentiums are a joke. The new i3 4xxxU series is pathetic. It's like they're in a race to see who can make the slowest new CPU. The new "celeron" (not actually a celeron) mobile CPU has an amazing 1000 rating in passmark. That's even lower than almost any core 2 duo from 2008. Good job, intel.

So now they're dragging that mobile disaster into the desktop world? No thanks.

If you're the first person to find out how to access the Jetpack, you will live on in gaming history as a legend. Everyone will know your name. Who's the most legendary player in Runescape? Zezima. Who's the most legendary douche on youtube? Pewdie Pie. Same thing applies here. So everyone just wants to fame associated with it more than the jetpack itself.

Comment Occulus should be killed (Score 0) 48

Hmm so Steam, the #1 gaming platform and Facebook, the #2 gaming platform....I know! Let's hand money over to Facebook after they bought Oculus! At least Microsoft had it right in refusing the make Office for the iOS platform. But then again Google made Google maps for the new iOS version right exactly when Apple Maps was driving people into lakes and down airport runways and they freaking MAKE ANDROID, the #1 competitor!

How do people this stupid keep getting decision-making jobs at companies this large?! Everyone should stay off Oculus like it's toxic. 100% of Facebook customers hate Facebook as a company. 100% of Oculus enthusiasts are pissed that Facebook bought the company. Facebook is threatening Steam. Maybe they shouldn't be working with them! Facebook could take it precisely nowhere on their own and Steam could work with any other VR company and crush Facebook's overpriced acquisition. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!

So diamond isn't a known material?

Wrong! Bitcoins' top appeal is:
- you can use it if you're under 18
- you can use it if the world bank hates your country
- you can use it to accept payments without paying a credit card gateway company a ton of money
- you can use it to take orders over the phone if your credit card processor thinks you're too young of a business to take card-not-present transactions
- it is virtually impossible to use a stolen wallet if the user encrypted it

And it most certainly, absolutely, is not "secret." It's is the polar opposite. It's all logged.

Comment stupid! (Score 1) 129

There are subsonic, 6mm BB guns that fire 3x normal mass rounds with CO2 that are a solid lead projectile with neon tracer marks on the back where the barrel has a functional silencer as well. They're about $90-150. You could silently take out a drone and grab its package very, very quickly and easily. That or fishing line net traps that no optics or radar can easily detect. It's like shooting fish in a barrel but easier. This is never going to work.
