Umm, yea, yea they did. All the time. It was extremely common during those days for an adult at a public gathering or social function to excuse themselves while saying "I've got to go call and check on the kids" -- it was exp

Not to mention that right now, and for the relatively foreseeable future, the $700 MSRP space is actually the $1400 space. Barring some major development shift in crypto currencies or them seriously ramping up manufacturing in a hurry, I do

That's not really fair. There are a lot of folks who are bound to the MS Office suite not by choice, but because that's what the corporate system of their employer uses.

Ah. You have a point. I guess it would depend on intent, and at what point they saw the writing on the wall.

So they (Be, inc) passed the buck onto the general public, and let them shoulder the immense financial burden of their failures? That's pretty evil, extremely devious, a whole lot cowardly, and an astonishingly good move business-wise.

It sure does! Does anyone remember MUDs? Some of those boggled the mind with how creative some folks can be with text and symbols. Good times, great memories from back before being a nerd was en vogue.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I bought mine from the Official SJCAM Store on aliexpress. It was a little cheaper on ebay at the time, but I just didn't want to risk it because shipping from China can take a while some times.

FWIW, I can heartily recommend SJCAM -- their build quality is great for a Chinese knock-off and the resulting image/video quality is really really good for the price of the hardware. However, be careful when on eBay/aliExpress I&

Thanks for the link. I'm curious how it compares to https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php although this looks to be free I don't think it's open source. Not having much luck finding license info for it.

I'm not personally a mac user, but I'm still very glad to see projects like this being developed as open source. Very cool I hope this goes on to be a really solid piece of software. Does anybody have any recommendations for good

The whole cat and mouse game thing... for some strange reason that sounds fun to me. Probably because I don't know the details and the workload involved in actually doing it (and it's not my money or inventory at stake). It seems

I still don't see why all the scientific paper publishing stuff is allowed to work in the way that it does. I mean, don't a large % of the people doing that research use funding from government grants? If public money was used to

That nixie tube driver board is incredibly sexy. I wonder what those black ... block(?)-type chips are? The caption mentions they're 6-pin, but I can't make out any markings on them.

I wasn't implying ADHD wasn't real. It very much is real, but unfortunately it seems to have become a sort of "catch-all" diagnosis. It's now more of a common label than it is a medical diagnosis. Isn't it equa

MediaMonkey has a similar function for audio playlists. I have no idea how well this translates to mobile (or even if you CAN transfer it to mobile) -- but I know it works on PC for my MP3 library (which is stupidly huge)

I have no idea if 'Turk Trust' is even a real CA or if you made up the name in jest. I'm honestly scared to Google it and find out, in slight fear of finding out that is an actual CA. (Not to get too political here, but giv

It's worth mentioning that a reviewer on YouTube recently posted a scathing review of their product[1]. It's a long video so TL;DR: product is junk and they knew it plus they tried to pay him off with a paltry $500. No idea how mu
