    It’s been terribly unreliable in my experience (Bing) so I’m not surprised that it’s not getting wider adoption. Half the time I try to interact with it, it just resets the convers…

    It absolutely does, and with the recent uptick in recreational nitrous use we have clear examples of what it does to people. This is just one of the handful of cases of nitrous ove…

    They are even matching the internal resistance of the cells, I can't think of much more a professional manufacturer would be doing. As long as they are getting their cells from rep…

    Canon was actually on my short list of printer vendors I would have recommended people to use. Now it's just down to Brother and Kyocera I guess.

    I was at RIM during this time and it was an absolute shitshow. It took so much in-fighting to get RIM to even address the iphone, so many people thought it was a passing fad and wo…

    Proof of Stake changes things to the point where mining is no longer really a good descriptor of what is going on behind the scenes. Proof of Stake starts out with a large amount o…

    It's also easy to discount someone's arguments by writing them off as an "entrenched artist" and implying their opinion is invalid and old fashioned. I'm not so convinced, especial…

    Think I'm going to elect to use a burner machine to tune in to this one.

    It's not hard, but it's not easy and certainly not reliable. This is a good video on the topic, not exactly about your question but they do cover it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?…

    Between Panic and Teenage Engineering I actually have faith in this being a worthwhile endeavor. From the face of it I would expect this to go the way of the Ouya, but with those t…

    It only makes sense really, Chicago has been the ground zero for pinball since it's inception. Chicago Coin, Stern, Bally, Gottlieb and Genco were all operating out of that area. S…

    The rovers would only receive about 4 hours of sunlight in a day, so Li-Ion batteries are used to store enough charge to keep it running reliably. Newer rovers like curiosity are u…

    FedEx did it with 15,000$ worth of apple gear for me. Seriously, what driver would think it's appropriate to leave a bunch of imac pro boxes with a (thankfully in my case good natu…
