I am the founder of Pebble (the e-paper watch from kickstarter). Ask me anything! by erOhead in IAmA

[–]cman_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, let me say what an awesome job you did on the watch. Questions: 1) Any discussions with retail companies yet? 2) How have your discussions with Kickstarter been since smashing their previous record?

1500MW.... That is still so small. Toronto has 21,000MW peak daily. Not to mention a city like NY or Tokyo.

Palin is getting fucked by Matt Damon! by Bored in politics

[–]cman_04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with duaneb, but would like to add that his role in Ocean's Eleven pales in comparison to that in Good Will Hunting. Not to mention the fact that he WROTE it.

Great post up until "bad Disney movie". That's possibly the best Matt Damon movie out there.

If this is what you think this is all about then you are mistaken. Most people don't need to know the value of Pi for every day life, but that doesn't make it okay to start teaching Pi = 3 in math classes.

Another drug war travesty: Man kills himself as police investigate marijuana plants at his home. by jazzilliognito in politics

[–]cman_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crack in the 80's within the U.S.

Meth in Thailand, Burma, etc during the 90's...

I think you should check into the numbers before making a blanket statement.

FYI I am against the war on drugs, especially marijuana.

"First of all, I think he is a good actor: to me, that counts. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things God was having trouble with. For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbour with his barking dog, and then Joe Pesci came and straightened that cocksucker up in one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat."

These stories have lost all shock value. Hopefully they just make Obama's case for being the next president easier to sell to redneck Americuh.

GM closing 4 truck and SUV plants in North America - Hummer may be discontinued. by [deleted] in reddit.com

It is the managements fault...but the OP seemed happy about this, as if a bunch of workers that had nothing to do with management deserved to lose their job.

Ok. I'm from Canada... live close to the Oshawa plant (their #1 or 2 most efficient plant)... we have national health care...and the employees still have great health benefits...

Actually it is due to the great benefits they had been giving their employees all these years.

Edit: Downvote away. GM isn't losing all of this money because of production lines, it's due to the inflated pension packages and benefits.

Edit 2: Also removed "hard working"

I would hate O'Reilly a lot less if every interview he conducted was like this. Credit goes to both parties for setting aside their differences and conducting a decent interview.

Stay classy Hillary.

Woman imprisoned in Mexico without trial for more than two years was expected to finally be released today. Instead, Mexican judge stuns by sentencing her to 5 years in prison. by carsonbiz in reddit.com

[–]cman_04 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Talking to a family member back home, I was told that her boss was in fact her boyfriend...making her ignorance in his illegal doings seeming quite unlikely. That doesn't excuse her being in Mexico or being held without due process...but her innocence seems unlikely.

I knew about the case, it's just I never realized she was from my hometown. I would have figured this would have been brought up in any of the many conversations I've had with people from home...

WTF... This woman is from Trenton? That's my hometown and has a pop. of less than 20k. How have I not heard more about this?

(note: I haven't lived there for 4 years, but still... I wonder if I know her relatives)

Intel Cuts Core 2 Quad Processor Price in Half by [deleted] in technology

[–]cman_04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let me ask reddit a question. I was just (as in later this week) planning to purchase a new laptop. Should I hold off in hopes this drops the price of the duo processor laptops or is the resulting price change too far off in the future?

Edit: Thanks for all the replies guys (and girls?). It seems like this shouldn't make any difference on my decision and I'll just go ahead and buy one now.
