@nutbastard: Yeah I used GIMP. I can't afford the expected cost [5 cents] of pirating Photoshop, lest I should get caught.

@dagamer34: Which is why it kinda disappoints me that my bf-laptop gets the same battery life as the eee. Shouldn't smaller laptops last for like, hours and hours on end?

cyborgtroy commented on IBM Mixes Water, Chips to Make Supercomputer And Cook Dinner Too

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:21:16 EDT

@theorie: Plus, taking energy from a heat engine would counteract the cooling system, so you'd need some kind of liquid-cooling to keep the chips cool.

Wait...

I'd make ramen with that.

cyborgtroy commented on Question of the Day: Is the Recession Killing Your Gadget Budget?

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:47:32 EDT

It's not the recession, it's the gadgets themselves, and the fact that I don't have a job.

And that I've never really had a job at all.

Actually, I'm not technically 18 yet, so I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on super-awesome things, but someday I will and then I will come whine about the recession to you.

Shoulda been called the Portable Interesting Media Player.

cyborgtroy commented on Super Talent 8GB Flash Drive is World's Smallest

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:31:10 EDT

That is pretty reasonable, and it's super-tiny.

From the picture, it looks like one of those bizarre ones that only takes up half the USB slot.

I could totally double the hard drive capacity of an eee with this.

I could do that for like $50.

Well, if I believed that Wal-Mart actually sold Dragonforce and the number of unrelated singles I like, I would buy them.

For 10 cents each.

And no fucking iTunes!

Cuboids are not spheres.

Oh, wait, you mean my insane virginity. Yes, that too.

cyborgtroy commented on Time Machine on Airport Extreme is an Unsupported Feature, Might Go Away in the Future

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 19:27:35 EDT

It's okay, if it goes away I can just use my Time Machine to bring it back.

Though it didn't seem to work for my computer I defenestrated, it still won't work.

Yeah, I remember when airplanes were just cramped, funny-smelling and loaded with stupid fucking babies.

*sigh* Good times.

I wonder if cell phone jammers are allowed?

Nah, those are probably bombs or MacBook Airs.

They already tried this with military airbases and it phailed.

@aznplayer213: I was actually just discussing laptop-female porn with my friend and cited the eee girl.

Plus with XP, it could be portable semi-HD real-time low-poly-count animated porn.

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 22:58:17 EDT

That makes me want a electric motorbike with an integrated low-power computer and a screen / dashboard that runs software gauges in addition to a Linux-based OS.

He'll make a shower and toilet that "never" crash, can flush anything, and can even run Windows or Linux, because they use the same pipes.

You can can never take out the pipes though.

@gamecrazychris: That's how my Vista is, always using between 900 and 1100 MB of RAM.

And it still takes forever to do anything like it doesn't know what caching is.

I could run Linux in like a freaking ramdisk in 2GB of RAM.

Of course they'll be robots.
