Comment This past weekend, Walkman and 13 Y/O (Score 3, Insightful) 166

Over the weekend I had a birthday gathering for my child. One of the overnight camping guests was a 13 y/o boy. He brought his Walkman and huge collection of vintage tapes that were really my style of music. He gets his tapes from garage sales.

Although he also brought other electronic devices, he gave me hope for the next generation that they can still use other things as we did.

As others have pointed out, this is a non story. I do wonder if the source of story is from somebody that has an interest in a different lens company.

I need different powers of contacts depending on what I'm doing that day. If I'm on a computer all day, there is a pair for that. If I'm going stargazing, there is a pair for that. If I'm walking in the woods hunting for shrooms, yup, another pair. Night? Completely different script too.

I have only found 1 optometrist that understood my need for dialing in lenses given the application. The problem was that their computer system wouldn't allow the different contact prescriptions. Sure, she gave me a paper copy, but I had to keep the paper copy, because their system wouldn't allow for the multiple 'scripts.

This company offers a service to me. Please let me decide what specifications I need for my eyes.

Comment Requires W10 or El Capitan (Score 4, Informative) 55

I taught a Minecraft class last year at our school last year for 3rd-8th grade kids. They tolerated Minecraft EDU, but would rather just play on servers or in LAN world as a regular Minecraft Client.

They won't be having the class this year as the Education Edition requires them to upgrade their lab to Windows 10. They aren't going to do that and want linux in the classroom. Now that Education Edition requires W10 for both client/server, I no longer have any interest in the 'value add' of the EDU product.

I can almost appreciate the need for a W10 server, but requiring all clients to be on W10? No thanks.
