They are not closing down eBay Motors; they are closing down an app for eBay Motors.
Not just that, an ad many people never realized existed to begin with. Would be nice if they would make it possible to sell multiple items from the Android client.
Let us not forget that it was supposed to have fully working XBMC at release time (if not included, then downloadable) which still hadn't materialized over a month later. Did that ever really happen? Before I took my Ouya back to Gamestop, I tried numerous nightlies and none of them were ever anywhere close to stable, nor did any of them really work properly anyway.
Ouya really set Android gaming back substantially with their incompetence. It's good to see that some other manufacturers are now bringing devices to market, even if the most reputable are Mad Catz and Razer — both known for making cheap knockoff trash.
As it happens, yes. I have Aspergers, I get shit scared by ignorant cunts abusing standard English terms
Oh my fucking god you just made my day. I mean, I rarely ROFL, and I'm not now, but I'm about as close as I ever get right now.
in order to avoid having to defend their agenda of hatred.
You're the one misusing the word "cunt" on something you don't like. Closet case much? I mean, it's OK to be gay, but you don't have to hate on vagina.
Happens that 'privilege' is an excellent example of just that.
It just so happens that if you find yourself getting angry about the concept of 'privilege' then you are yourself a privileged person. If you even have time and leisure to sit around thinking about how privileged you aren't, you are.
I want the benefits of mass production commodities and be able to buy a good PC gaming machine off-the-shelf for a lower price.
The Steam Machine won't give you that, because it's small and because it has a brand stamped on it. It's going to come at a higher price.
Iâ(TM)m tired of spending so much time building my own custom PC and doing OS installations.
So buy one prebuilt.
Iâ(TM)m sick of Microsoft charging me many times more than everybody else for a Windows license because I didnâ(TM)t buy a pre-configured machine from an OEM.
So buy a pre-configured machine from an OEM, which is what you are proposing to do.
Iâ(TM)m sick of Windows blue screening and corrupting my EFI boot partitions so my dual boots wonâ(TM)t work.
So stop putting multiple OSes on one disk. Segregate onto different storage devices. Problem completely solved.
- Iâ(TM)m sick of Windows nagging me about turning on Secure Boot. I donâ(TM)t want it.

Iâ(TM)m sick of big giant PC towers that take up massive space and donâ(TM)t fit well in home theater cabinets (or anywhere else).
Buy a SFF PC.
- Iâ(TM)m sick of loud PC fans and the unnecessarily high power consumption and heat
Buy a low-power CPU and GPU
I want a gaming PC that is fully utilized for games, not loaded down with needless background processes sucking up CPU and RAM
So disable the indexing service etc.
- Hardware driver updates for Windows is such a chore.
It is? The only ones that see many updates are the GPU drivers, and geforce experience handles that for me with very few clicks. Perhaps you are currently "enjoying" the AMD experience.
Windows mostly broke DirectX/DirectInput compatibility. Iâ(TM)m so sick of having to get xce360 working and re-configured for every single game I buy now.
Shoulda stuck with win7 for gaming, boyo
- I hate it that Fraps doesnâ(TM)t work any more with non-fullscreen mode starting in Windows 8
See last. Also, fraps is over, what are you, new? Now you use your GPU recording tools.
- I donâ(TM)t want to be pushed to Windows Store
Not going to happen yet. Maybe later.
TL;DR: a Steam PC isn't going to solve any problems; you didn't list any problems which aren't already solved.
You shoulda got a used original Xbox. You can often pick one up for $20, if you can solder you don't need to buy anything to mod most of them, there's a ton of games and a ton of indie software including a crapload of emulators. You could have saved it from the landfill and saved eighty bucks at the same time
Slashdot's editors typically don't do much to user submissions.
Who told you that? Every submission I've had accepted has been altered by more than half.
If there was a code in the box, it checked it. And refused incorrect codes.
But nobody tested it when there wasn't a code in the box.
In what world is (null) not an invalid code? What color is the sky there?
the cpu and radio on a drone are both tracable by cell towers.
Who told you that?
I'm actually kind of hoping this is a viable option. I dread the idea of re-installing my phone from scratch, but a drop-in replacement for the affected files would certainly be welcome.
Probably not. libstagefright is, nominally, per-GPU. Every GPU vendor would have to roll their own. And then it would have to be tested... It's just not going to happen at all. Everyone is going to say "time to move on" and blame the vendors. The vendors will blame the GPU makers...
They delivered the product as promised
Well, no. Not really. They promised an open and hackable platform. But they didn't deliver that. They released a shitty and broken platform. Many units overheat. All original controllers were shit, they had to do a second run. And the "recovery" is shit. It's implemented at the same level as the OS, so if you ruin your OS, your Ouya is really and truly bricked. Nobody has figured out how to get JTAG on it. USB keyboards become controller #1 so nothing works until you unpair them and the keypad (which will have become controller #2) and then re-pair the keypad. Pairing of PS3 controllers was never reliable. Etc etc. Ouya is a turd, they failed miserably, and it's not clear why anyone would bother to pick up the pieces.
Using the word 'privilege' is a troll in itself.
Wow, afraid of words? We're back here? Even on Slashdot?
if you're not going to enforce the rules, why bother going through the motions?
There are obviously a lot of steps between here and there, but that's no reason not to try to take them.
You can't give people everything they want. But you can enable people to create them, and you can stay out of their way.
Because I can't stand living in cities as they are now. When they kick out all the cars, maybe I'll think about moving back. On the other hand, I like having a lot of personal space, and it's a lot cheaper in the sticks. I probably won't ever move back into the cities if I have a choice.
If the permit said "no performances by this guy"
Then it was bullshit
"WHY"? The most idiotic thing he could ask.
If you're in the game for the long haul then you don't just throw away your reputation. You make the game when it makes sense to make the game. You have some new level of competence to display, usually. That's when HL2 came out.
