    Want banned or anything just lost access a few years ago. Then life and a kid happened. And now I want to rejoin the community. I had bought the lifetime membership forever ago.

    The First Self-Driving 18-Wheeler Hits the Highways

    We are a long way off from a truck that can drive in the city. As a someone that drives a tracker trailer often there are times when you have to be a dick or do slightly illegal stuff in order to make a turn safely. Another time is when a light turns yellow even driving under the speed limit you...

    The other day at Sears I gave my phone number as 867-5309. Turns out I had custom credit of $1.90 that I could use on my purchase.

    FTC Charges DirecTV with Fraud for Misleading Customers

    I noticed the same thing when my friend had Direct and I had Charter. We have the same TV and going to his house in the middle of watching a football game the difference was stunning. U-Verse and normal cable are limited because they also do internet over the same cable. Make less room for high...

    BattleBots Is Back After Ten Years, and It's Bound to Be Incredible

    That was the biggest issue with the old show. The only way to win was to build a wedge, a flipper, or a spinner. It mostly became a game of paper/rock/scissors. What I want to see is a non flat non solid playing surface. Make the floor out of dirt, rock, and mulch.

    We're Paying For Broken Games, And It's Unacceptable

    The reason I never got in to PC gaming was because of having to update and configure shit. No big deal as there was consoles. Put the game in and you're playing in no time. Once the 360 and PS3 came out that changed. Once again you could have to update your console just to play a game. I never...

    Robotic Suit Gives Shipyard Workers Super Strength

    I super excited for exoskeleton tech progressing. Having a mom with MS I see the obvious need for this type of tech. That said, this suit serves no advantage over current simple machines of forklifts, pallet jacks, and dolly's/two-wheelers. I work for a beer distributor and spent 3 years loading...

    PC Gaming Is On The Rise

    Of course PC gaming is on the rise. The whole appeal of Console gaming is that you stick the game in and it works. That is no longer the case. If you're going to have to dick with shit then you might as well do it on a more powerful machine.

    The FCC May Consider A Stricter Definition Of Broadband

    For all practical use 4mb is plenty to be considered broadband. Unless getting netflix and Youtube in HD has become a need I don't see a problem with it. Consider that the term broadband came around when most people were on 56kb. Eight times that speed is fine.

    Walmart’s Delivery Truck of the Future

    If you're out to live the trucker life and spend all your time on the road then looks will matter. That is why you can still buy classic shaped big rigs. But if you're just in it to make money then you take every chance you can to save fuel. As someone that is considering becoming an...

    Upcoming MGS Game Less Than 2 Hours Long

    I support the move to shorter games. If games got below 6 hours it would then be possible to finish a game by just renting it.

    Nintendo’s Wii U Is Costing It Billions

    I don't think it will happen with the Wii U but Nintendo has a big chance to really make Sony and MS look like fools. The thing that made console gaming so popular was the simplicity of it. Put the game in and play. Now you have to install system updates, install the game and then install game...

    How Old Is Too Young To Go Online?

    HOLD THE FUCK ON. Why is everyone talking about the internet like it is a thing that comes from some box while sitting at a desk? Once your kid has their first smart phone all bets are off about what they see or have access to. Don't want them to have a smart phone? How far off are cheap but...

    Tim Sweeney Predicts Photo-Realistic Graphics Within 10 Years

    Realistic game play simply can't happen. The way a character has to more to make it feel responsive is counter productive to the animation needed to make it look real. I would say that 10 years to a screen shot looking almost real is a good guess. There will probably always be that "tell" that...

    Record Setting $3M Kickstarter Game Needs More Money

    I don't get why anyone would backa product in development. A game is about the worst thing I can think to back. I've kickstarted two things. One was funding for a local free skatepark. They already had land donated and starting construction. It was getting built no matter what. The other was a...

    Single Player Games Not Dying

    I've never played team sports and I've never played online multi player games. I'm a skater/snowboarder/gymnast and some of my favorite games are Metriod Prime, Eternal Darkness, and Super Mario World. Not to say I haven't enjoyed some time playing Wii or Halo with friends but I have nearly zero...

    Who's Liable For Driverless Car Crashes?

    In theory the driverless car should ever be in an at fault accident if it follows all traffic rules. Too bad following all traffic rules would result in not being able to drive normally. Think about trying to change lanes if you followed the rules about following distance and waited for a gap...

    The WTF Video of the Day

    For a while Denny's was selling bacon pancakes. I paid my friends son $1 to try them and he ended up eating the whole plate. Almost all pork products mix very well with sweet things. That is why I call it nature's candy.

    Japan to Start 4K TV Broadcast in July 2014

    Most people don't sit close enough to their current TV to be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. People aren't going to be wowed by 4k like they have been by every other jump. It will remain for the people that have a high end home theater if it stays around at all.

    iPhone And Apple Jumped The Shark

    I think smart phones in general have jumped the shark. With LTE getting the speeds it does we don't need anything faster. The form factor of phones limits how much processor you need and we are about at that limit. We are at the limit of screen resolution and phone size is down to personal...

    Walmart Announces New Search Engine to Power Walmart.com

    Walmart is probably doing the smart thing. Developing their online presence to compete with what Amazon is trying to become. It would be hard to take on that type of project outsourcing everything. Imagine if Walmart built their online inventory large enough to compete with Amazon. Then use...

    Intel Testing Oil Immersion Cooling for Its Servers

    I take it you've never really worked on a car before. Being covered in clean oil is pretty damn easy to clean. It's road grime and grease that is hard to clean. Cleaning the part is easy enough with some alcohol.

    BugASalt: $30 Fly Killing Shotgun

    Years ago I did some starting research about getting a part for inline skates made. Calling up local US companies they said it would be in the $50k range to get the single mold I needed made. I can't imagine him spending less then that.
