Nice to see /. is still living back in 1995.

I recently bought a standard def roku box on ebay that I use to watch Netflix streaming through my tv capture card on linux; works like a charm!

Commercials? Oh yeah, those pesky things they show on TV that I don't see anymore because I stream pretty much everything I watch these days off of Netflix :-P

This is what we get for cutting (nyuk nyuk) shop classes from school curricula.

Stretch? Wait, just how invasive has the Freedom Patdown gotten anyway?

I think you can already get that if you just leave it off?

If you are still into making games, there are plenty of possibilities there too :-) Plus you don't have to quit your day job.

Diplomats also damn well better be using secure ways to communicate, otherwise the "other guys" will find out things they shouldn't know. If anything this points a big neon arrow at problems in that area that most certainly need to be addressed, because if wikileaks was able to gain access to this info you can pretty much guarantee other countries can too.

I have a $15 tester that lets me test a power supply in seconds, without having to rip it out of the case, plus now instead of a bunch of power supplies laying around with a big "Flakey?" or "Bad?" written on them, I now know for sure :-D

I saw the trailer; holy hell it looks awful. A veritable crapfest, in 3D even!
