Is the Compute Stick’s AC a hard wired cable and plug? Or is it a cable with a USB plug and a separate wall plug with a USB port? Meaning, if your TV has a USB port next to the HDMI port could you just carry the power cable and plug it into the TV’s USB port for power?

I enjoyed reading this comment thread so much I forgot what the original article was about. I knew what TL;DR was but only because I had to google it myself about a year ago. And I learned about the difference between acronyms and initialisms so I learned something, too. :)

Would you prefer they said “LedOL”? ;)

I did not know that. Thanks for the PSA. ;)

I really am only interested in the Doctor Who and Portal levels. I guess my biggest issue with this model is the physical space needed for the base game pad. I’d rather not have to clutter up my coffee table or TV stand with this thing just to play a video game. But all the reviews seem positive and I do love the…

On the plus side, now we can get that Action Jackson reboot. ;)

I would say “giving it a roman helmet” more than tea bagging but I know what you mean. :)

Thanks for the link. That was a great read. This really intrigued me. Now I want to know what the “strong clue” was. I’ll have to fire up my 2600 emulator and play some Adventure now.

Don't go petting any weird creepy snake things.

She lives in Canada. I met her at Niagara Falls. :)

I also love that when you choose "image search" it takes the first few Google Image results and displays them as a pseudo-ascii art image. :)

The H2G2 website started roughly around the same time as Wikipedia and it always bummed me out that H2G2 didn't win out over Wikipedia. What a great legacy to Douglas Adams that would have been.

Agreed. I loved the Rod (Rob?) Lord animated graphics. They were, and always will be, how envision the Guide. Although, I thought they did a pretty good job in the movie, too.

Hope you and your four-year-old have a great time rocking out. :)

Chicago's The Boogers. Punk rock for kids. :)

It could be. Maybe the Chameleon Circuit is just acting wonkier than usual.

I know this is over a year and a half old, but the nerd in me is really curious. What would the correct usage have been? "...the likelihood of my reading your resume..."
