I'm in my early twenties and I have never owned a printer and likely never will. I have always had access to them at libraries, my university (which is when I actually printed a lot of stuff), work, etc. I can't imagine ever needing to get

How will you ever be able to print transistors, capacitors, anything made of metal, or most anything useful? Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of cool uses now for very specific things like robots, prototyping, or medical things, but the

I completely agree. I keep hearing people talking about printing electronics, car parts, and all kinds of ridiculous things. Yes you can make plastic stuff and molds etc. but no 3d printer is going to be able to make a blueray player or any

"People shouldn't have the power to kill other people so easily - not unless they're the police or army." And why should some some 18yo kid in the army have that right but not a middle aged adult? Because some other army guy yelled at him f

Yes, I'm sure a man who is likely a father and husband, suicide bombs some place so that you would have to live in fear of being molested by the TSA. That makes sense.

I don't like Eclipse because it doesn't do the stuff that a basic IDE is suppose to do either at all or very well. Perhaps you have noticed that when you type in Intellij, it actually makes good suggestions and auto completes properly.

It's disturbing that some people need to be told to have hobbies and have fun. It also seems like a lot of CS oriented people don't realize how much fun can be had away from electronics. EE stuff, CS stuff, video games, pet projects, etc. a

That makes me angry. I really like Jetbrains as a company and you would think Google could spare some money and pay Jetbrains something.

What a silly law. Why don't we fine people $50,000 every time they do anything irresponsible or dangerous. Surely that would make our society safe and responsible! Seriously, no one is going to pay heed to this law because how would you ev

My college was like this as well. I think the basic idea is that you will sink or swim. If you can't make it in the program then that's your problem. I don't really see the point in limiting who can take part in the program. They get my mon

Too Chomsky's lost all of his credibility by aligning himself with all of the New World Order crackpots out there.

It all depends on where you live. I doubt where he lives (Longmont CO) is that expensive. There are plenty of places in the USA where 25k will go a long way. Remember he has no mortgage and other debts. If he has relatively low property tax

Preach it. I can't find a decent Ultrabook. It's amazing that there are so many that dont even have at minimum a 1080p screen. That really should have been part of the Ultrabook specs. What is really astounding is how completely clueless OE

Arm exists because they went after a market Intel didn't care about. Intel was slow to react to the shift in market, but they have reacted and they are focused now. It is only a matter of time before Intel dominates the market. Their latest

The only boring parts are the parts below Michigan/Chicago, particularly Indiana... it's basically one giant field.

I have to agree. This whole thing puzzles me. The Android FB app is terrible. Absolutely terrible. Some basic functions don't work. Like when someone tags me in a photo and a notification pops up, I click the notification and their app cras

I agree. The intuitive way to zoom in is to move your face closer to the screen. Pinching a screen makes absolutely no intuitive sense. People learned it by accident or because they were shown.

I think eCommerce was a different situation than what you describe. People were already used to calling up and ordering things over the phone from a catalog using their credit card. Doing the same thing over the internet wasn't that much of

How ironic that now that you brought them up, the "scandal" is hijacking this thread and we aren't talking about this positive stuff.

You forgot that they are a giant mood killer. Anyone who has been in a long term relationship where condoms are the primary source of birth control knows what I'm talking about. Want to have sex in the shower? Forget that. Want spur of the

I was responding to the "Really, the negative comments here on homeschooling are staggeringly out of date." part of your post. I find that a lot of the criticism of homeschooling still rings true.

Were you homeschooled? Because I was, and all though I don't want to go into extensive detail on why I despise it, I will just say that parents HS because they think they know what's best for their children, but they often don't. I lived in

I would think these issues are more to do with CM. For additional anecdotal evidence, I have had my Nexus 4 since it came out and I have not had the issues you described and I have never had to reset it.

I saw him speak at SXSW... he didn't strike me a terribly humble man... On top of that, there was a band that did video game music covers and they covered some Ultima song. He gave a presentation on his new game, cut into the bands set time

I don't think it has anything to do with size really, it's more about the variety of people who shop there. I don't shop there often, but the times I have, I have noticed the people shopping there weren't exactly representative of the gener

I would suggest going with straighttalk. $45 a month unlimited everything and it uses AT&T networks. I always have a signal. I would suggest going with a good unlocked smartphone to take advantage of it (I went with the Nexus 4). In fac
