  1. DOS76 said That pretty much looks like my XBox One Now that I'm lookin' at it closer, due to your observation, I don't think my first picture was a "Slim Version".
  2. The ever accurate Internet has 'supplied' me with different pictures of the rumored Xbox One Slim (one more rounded than the other):
  3. Samsung releases a 512GB SSD that's smaller that a Postage Stamp! The insanity of it all!
  4. SentaiBrad said Another program I love is IOBit Advanced System Care http://www.iobit.com/en/advancedsystemcarefree.php So it's actually only got a free section, and some features are behind the pro license, but I think it is very much well worth it. So, out of all the System Cleaning/Tweaking programs, such as iolo's System Mechanic, Ashampoo's WinOptimizer, Norton Utilities, Glary Utilities, AVG's PC TuneUp, Uniblue's Powersuite, etc., etc., why did you select IOBit's Advanced System Care? I must admit, the Drive Booster program that comes with it was the only program I've used lately that found Drivers on my System that needed to be updated.
  5. I forgot to mention, I asked the guy if SnapPower had ever tried to appear on Shark Tank. He said they had, but by the time the Shark Tank producers got back to them, they (SnapPower) no longer needed their assistance. Big smile from him after I commented on how great that was.
  6. I do more feather-weight Gaming than any other type, and and I was wondering about importing BigFish games (please don't banish me for playing those games). Somewhat . Anyway, even though I'd undoubtedly have to deal with all the artwork manually, if I were to put all of the games 'launching' Executables in one directory, would I be able to import them into LaunchBox somehow?
  7. Just to clear a few things up for education: ** I think you may be referring to a Trans Woman I don't know what I'm referring to, or even what I'm talkin' about most of the time. After a veer of this Topic I hadn't anticipated, I started an informal Poll of the issue. Most folks don't seem to give a crap about it. My observations are that it's mostly parents with younger daughters that are the most concerned. I have two daughters (adults, now), and I don't believe I would've wanted either one of them to see some ugly-ass protrusion hangin' off some strangers crotch. To note: If a Trans person is in your bathroom, the likelihood of them being there for a sexual gain for them is close to nil. I totally agree. But we're in a pretty and crazy and diverse world. Let's just love each other and worry about actual problems Ultra-Ditto on that one, AutumnSounds!
  8. Well, not that anyone would be interested, but I added some more 'wires', and I think I was able to maintain some sort of order.
  9. The July issue of MaximumPC magazine has a decent DIY article on a hard-piped build. The tricky aspect is that the tubing is acrylic and therefore quite solid at room temperature. You have to heat the tubing to bend it. They say a hard-piped build is not easy and screw-ups are inevitable, but I say it looks sweet when complete! I wouldn't use a white liquid, though. Somethin' in the blue, green, purple family that 'glowed' under UV light. More like this: It'd be really cool if ya could aerate the fluid with pee-wee bubbles, so you could perceive the movement of the coolant. Ohhh..., how 'bout mixing water and a colored, light oil. It would be taking advantage of the ol' adage, "Oil and water don't mix." Remember these: (I'm not sure if it'd look cool or not - it might be too blobby. I'm sure I'd like the fizzy effect, though). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUZ8vrj-qzM
  10. I recently attended a Home and Gadget Expo and SnapPower was one of the Vendors. The guy wanted $51 for a 3-pack of the Charger ones ($54 on Sale on their Website). I said, "If ya throw-in one of those spiffy cables, it's a deal." He threw one in the bag and the deal was done. When I got home and emptied the bag, he had thrown in 3 cables. Nice! (The cables are about 40" long, but aren't currently available on their Website). One in the package: Micro-USB and an Apple plug on the same wire:
  11. fromlostdays said If this technology had been around for decades many more people might actually be bilingual. It's not about what's the point of trying to learn, its that this is probably an awesome learning tool, no? It could be a great learning tool, but I believe people are letting machines do almost all of their thinking, remembering, etc., and many I believe are getting intellectually lazy. Many educators have told me some High School students struggle with basic math. One from southern California said many of them struggle with English! I'm a bit guilty. Thanks to the Nav System in my car, I don't need to figure-out how to get anywhere - I just turn when it tells me to. In a not completely related story, I spoke with a retired Kindergarten teacher just a few days ago, and she told me many of them start not knowing how to count at all and don't even know basic colors! Worthless parents, no doubt. I taught my daughters their colors really early-on with M&M's. If they got the color right, they ate the M&M, but if not, I got to eat it. They had the M&M colors down in no time.
  12. How do you keep users connected to the massive processing and graphics power required for VR, while they remain mobile enough to walk, punch, or perform other movements required by whatever virtual scenario in which they are immersed? MSI's Backpack PC
  13. DOS76 said Republican based add so don't attempt to find sense in it, it was made for people who already hate Obama and anything different from them so questioning the validity of it is out of the question for them. Many Americans only like freedom and equality until it makes them uncomfortable then its time for the Frankensteinesque mob scene to destroy the monsters before they totally eradicate the moral fiber of our country. I usually avoid political posts because I'm sure someone will find offense but this is just ridiculous fear mongering which is the number 1 play in the extremely tiresome Republican playbook. Personally, I hate almost every politician (with the possible exception of Newark's former Mayor (now a Senator), Cody Booker). They're all nothing but self-serving liars, IMHO. If Spock (aka U.S.S. Enterprises' Science Officer) were running for Prez, I'd vote for him in a second. All decisions based on logic for the good of the whole - that's what I'm talkin' about! P.S. You're right about the wisdom of avoiding political Posts. What was I thinkin'? I'll be more careful in the future.
  14. AutumnSounds said Is this that ridiculous thing where Americans seem to think Trans people are all sex offenders / criminals? Might be. I believe the issue that many people aren't liking is that, say, a trans-gender male whose hasn't yet had the 'transforming' operation, can enter the Woman's/Girl's bathroom, while still sporting his package. Granted, he'll be behind a stall door, but what about when he goes into the Woman's Locker Room? That's my understanding of it, and I can see where the concern comes from.
  15. ps4isthefuture said Seems a bit too good to be true...I mean google translate can't even translate properly yet. But I don't think this would be a good thing. If I had that why would I learn to speak or understand Thai. If this technology had been around for decades, you might not be bi-lingual, as one's parents may have just stuck those in their kids ears early-on - language barrier solved. But I applaud you for being bi-lingual (maybe multi, for all I know). P.S. I never make-fun-of people who's English isn't that good, because I'm certain I can't speak their native language at all.
  16. DOS76 said I love to see science fiction brought to life. Ditto! One of my heroes, Leonardo da Vinci (the other being Homer Simpson) had envisioned helicopters, submarines, etc. Not Sci-Fi to us, but then? But more to your point, many Sci-Fi writers have 'nailed it' on so many fronts. Now all we have to do is wait for the fruition of Skynet (insert diabolical laugh here)! As a cave-person, I don't think I could have even forseen a wheel, but fortunately, my ancestors were more inventive than myself.
  17. DOS76 said That Zelda shit is so sweet! You got that right, Derek. I had no idea there were sooo many 'Zelda Collectibles'! [To Replies 11 & 14 (from Wolf_) - Wow! Thanks for uploading all those photos].
  18. Excellent! Now I won't have to learn Spanish/Español if I ever travel to the Southwestern U.S. "At the convergence of wearable technology + machine translation, the Pilot is the world’s first smart earpiece which translates between users speaking different languages." Meet the Pilot
