Both people in this argument are resorting to personal insults, but Mope54 does have a point. If you are going to say the game is crap without even taking advantage of the free week of flight demos? Well, you're actually the one 'invested' in the game, to borrow an expression. In this case...

*smashes Icon_Charlie over the head with a heavy object while his wife distracts Icon with her cuteness, then robs Icon_Charlie of every last bloody penny he had on him!* :)

In this sense, conservative means the old definition before partisan politics clobbered that meaning. Old-fashioned, averse to change, cautious.

Eh, why are you trying to use a smart speaker for an entertainment system, anyway? These things aren't intended on playing your music in high fidelity. They're the mouths of virtual assistants. While one CAN play music, it's never intended to be what you're trying to make it be, so of course...

Might be a good idea to replace the image on the front page. Put it behind a click or something, labeled clearly NSFW. I'd hate to come across that image when reading a tech blog in polite company. ;)

Sure we can! And it's a relatively easy, if time gated process. Step 1) Vote for Democrats in 2018 to lay the groundwork for Step 2. Step 2) Vote for Democrats for President, Senate, and House in 2020. Step 3) Ajit Pai loses the gavel as one of his colleagues or himself is forced to step...

How's about this: WHen I turn off VPN on my router, Youtube TV stutters on a regular basis. My internet is...Comcast. Could be modem or router, right? Nah. Turn on VPN, and suddenly Youtube TV is smooth (from California, because my end-point is a non-shared IP in Cali, which makes me wonder if...

If I were to get something like this, I would want her more like Cortana. Less pretending to be interested in me as a romantic interest. More pretending to be interested in my well being. Of course, then you start getting close to that edge -- how do you tell the AI that just acts like it's...

If you think it's possible to make a refrigerated case of that size for $500, then I invite you to try. I'm sure you'll find customers who would be willing to buy that. :)

I can believe that people learn how to fly an aircraft well enough from a video game well enough to get a real one off the ground. Landing it can be a bit harder, especially if your goal is to exit this world in a blaze of glory after joyriding with the thing. I just hope that this doesn't...

That thing makes my Mozart TX look small! No wonder it's $500!

Hmm...is it me or could this also be used by state actors for nefarious purposes? Hijack legitimate US cellular accounts and then use them as part of a telephone campaign to push the sort of political nonsense that's been flourishing on Facebook? We've got to get a better handle on our technology.

And this is why we can't have good things...and before you think I'm taking cdabc123 to task, let me be clear. YOU BOTH are why we can't have good things!

The Big Bang happened _billions_ of years ago, as in 17 billion. Earth and Mars were not around when that happened. The Sun wasn't around when that happened. In fact, NOTHING was around when that happened. At least nothing in this universe. Because that's what created everything. At least in...
