Ya, if you say so. Are you that homeless dude who lives down by my apartments dumpster that keeps getting kicked out of housing that bitches there is no housing? Dude, you stink, you do drugs and you can't keep a place over your head, so why you bitching at us when it's your own fault?

I remember when I could get a Timex Sinclair for $100 and I thought that was the best thing ever. Never did buy one, so I guess maybe I should buy one of these? =)

It's cool that we've gotten to the point that we can have cheap computing hardware for whatever the fuck we want. And compact.

Born & raised in Seattle. Sure, I'd love the good old days of the 80's before Seattle started to get crowded, but whatever, life goes on. We have a bunch more people here in Seattle these days then we ever did. We need space for the people that are here. Ballard has been a little home owning community. People would buy homes, start families there. Well, family homes are not what is needed anymore. You have young single professionals looking for places to work, not young married couples looking for places to start a family. Does it suck because the Ballard I & you remember is changing? Nope, this has been going on all over Seattle. We are NOT the little community we used to be anymore.

Seattle has grown up and it's time to get it new clothes that fit.

Yes, but I refuse to support these some companies who keep lobbying to extend the copyright law, and do over devious actions in the name of profit for themselves, not for the artists.

Please, unless you have the SX64, you aren't taking it with you. My TRS-80 Model 4 Portable though, gives me gaming on the go.

yes, FreeCiv was an open source project to make a Civilization II type game.

I haven't played nor checked it out in a long time, so I don't know what improvements have been made on it in the last 10 years, but much like nethack, it was a must install. And much like nethack I haven't played it 10 years...

You mean everything equal if you are white.

Nope, cosmic rays created The Fantastic Four and many more: http://marvel.wikia.com/Catego...

Also a toon named Cosmic Ray: http://www.comicvine.com/cosmi...

Didn't seem to find any DC toons who's superpowers came from cosmic rays. I didn't look very hard though.

True story, my babyboomer parents had me in the late 60's. So you can call me Generation X, but I'm more Billy Idol...

I have one of those free Obama phones. It's a dumb phone, yes, and I get free minutes every month. Currently because of the plan I choose, I have over 5000 mins stacked up.

I'm guessing the google plan isn't for me, since I need a Nexus 6 and I have a crappy dumb fucking phone that sounds like shit.

I need a better phone.

Anyways, I like what google is doing here. If I didn't have a free phone and had a Nexus 6, I'd love to get on it. But alas, I don't.

Wow, someone has been drinking the New Slashdot Koolaid.

Wow, is this going to be what everyone brings up with Hillary? Sort of like everyone brings up Bill Clintons sex shit. You have nothing else, so you beat this horse to death?

If Hilliary is so bad, you do have other things to bring up other then someone running there own email server when the NSA is all up in everyones shit? Seems to me Hilliary was smart there, not dumb, not criminal.

Oh, wait, MS bought Minecraft, no wonder they didn't include it.

So once again, based on false evidence, the United States decided to risk war by forcing down another countries Presidents airplane, just so the USA could check to see if a fugitive was on it.

While it's possible Snowden paid a part in this, it was the USA choice to risk war by forcing the Bolivian plane. Snowden isn't the bad guy here, the USA still is.
