Woo-oooh.

You're welcome.

I don't ... know ....

AAAAAaaaAAAaaAAaAhhhh!!!

Unfortunately a lot of the time insurance claims don't work this way. I had a lightning strike recently that took out 90% of my electronics.

My policy was "new for old", but until I bought the "new", I received only the depreciated value of the "old".

If it were only this, I would still advocate your strategy, however there was also a 6 month time limit to purchase the "new", send receipts in, and get reimbursed for the depreciation.

Long story short - you may lose out on a lot of money if you don't replace that stuff now.

If you think "bite my shiny ass" is the worst Watson could have gotten up to, and you aren't weak of stomach ... I suggest* that you should visit UrbanDictionary.com and start with a few choice** selections such as:

1. The Alabama Hotpocket
2. The Chili Dog
3. Space Docking
4. The Alaskan Snowdragon

A few hours wiki walk later, and you will almost certainly be asking for the same treatment Watson got.

** Gut-wrenching, vomit-inducing, etc

Aside from that, TVs really do NOT need a new connector.

FTFM.

Epic fail completely changes post intent.

You're proposing to plug the mouse and keyboard into the TV .... instead of the stick? It sounds like you want to have the TV act as a KVM switch, which seems a bit odd unless you plan on having multiple sticks installed... I'm guessing you're in the very far minority that would want that.

Aside from that, TVs really do need a new connector. HDMI already supports full HD, 7.1 audio, ethernet, and CEC. There's enough there to let the stick control the TV, and get network service from the TV.

The power want is pretty reasonable in the general case, and I've wondered about it in the past... but do take a closer look at this stick in particular. It wants power from a 5V micro-usb. If your TV has a USB port for firmware updates, it can probably already power the thing. For TV's manufactured in the last 5 years, the odds are pretty likely.

Cheers!

I'm reminded somewhat of two pertinent XKCD comics:

TornadoGuard/937

Star Ratings/1098

Interesting how they're kind of at odds with each other, but both true.

Step 1. Buy a Chromebook
Step 2. Use ChromeOS for half a day.
Step 3. Follows instructions you got from SOMEONE ELSE (a Google-employed developer, at that) on how to load openSUSE onto a Chromebook.
Step 4. Enjoy being on slashdot front page getting credit for what someone else told you how to do.

Geez.

Careful buddy. Apple has a design patent on logic with rounded (aka "circular") corners.

You're moving into dangerous territory!

Or know what JRPGs are, perhaps???

Good grief. what an obscure reference. And that is supposed to make Aeris notable?

I guess so is the guest character from that one episode of the simpsons to someone out there... but sheesh - like the target audience for JRPGs I'm guessing that group of fans is vanishingly small.

Given the trend in valuation of US currency over the last five years, I am pretty sure that the US has had absolutely no problem printing money on a whim lately.

Whether we are talking about the same thing or not is an exercise for the moderators :)

I think this should help you understand the message being sent:

HTH, HAND

You seriously think that a random act of terror will make the security measures show for the security theater they are? Please. Any self-respecting politician will merely point out the security measures are just *inadequate*, and now you will have to strip prior to getting to the air line check in gate, and wait in the security line naked... or some other atrocious invasion of privacy that seems too laughable to mention now but in a short time will be "the next logical step".

I no longer fly, and it's not for fear of terrorism. The cost of flying has gotten too high, even if the financial burden has never been lower.

iThink there is room in the market.

iCould be wrong though...
