Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Dude, You need to get out more often. I want to post a stinging response, but I don't even know where to start. I work on FPGAs on a daily basis; they are powerful devices, but I have no desire to know the most subtle details. The work of 100's of engineers goes into the development of this year's best devices. Do you propose to gather and employ their combined knowledge somehow? You'd never finish a project.

Your template comparing FPGAs to the GCC compiler is flawed. There is a great economy of scale for FOSS compilers. There isn't one for FPGAs.

Nice rant, wrong topic, IMHO.

Lol

Consider the possibility that women just aren't interested. Don't apply your feel-good agendas to it and expect it to be magically transformed.

And for the record, I noticed I was getting semi-symetrical service close to a year ago.

So I'm a Verizon customer, etc. How is this anything more than free advertising? What is the compelling need for this to be all over the media, etc?

These jokes are easy, but they're still funny.

Corded phones didn't cost $350 - $500 either.

AC gets it. No more complicated than what is written above.

He also forgot to say "let me make one thing perfectly clear."

If it isn't funny, you just haven't been there ...

Mod parent up. He speaks absolute irrefutable truth.

Administration policies are anti-tax? Really? The GDP suffers due to the heavy load of higher taxes and regulation.

The real story is that things like NASA, NIH, Roads/Bridges, border enforcement aren't important to dear leader, so the budget for those entities suffers.

Now make the case that NASA has suffered due to the anti-tax movement. I'm listening.

On which planet has the anti-tax movement won?

and it would be the final nail in the relevance coffin ...

Your argument would be more effective as a horse/buggy/whip analogy.
