Not sure if good idea, bad idea or evil idea
-
not in the slightest.
I'm merely asserting that Windows runs on the Raspberry Pi
-
Or you could use HDMI for both video and sound.
Yes, but I wouldn't run the
mouseauxiliary computer over HDMI…
-
I didn't say to get rid of USB. Actually, I proposed a way to free up the port so it could be used.
Random fact: at my company, we connect GPS receivers via HDMI.

I know there are various micro-PCs that can be VESA-mounted on the back of a monitor. Means the desk space requirement goes down to zero, except you can't mount your monitor on an arm any more.
-

you can if you are clever with you mounting solution.... :-D

He pointed to his cigarette pack and stated that the only reason that they could not put a computer in that was heat dissipation.
Somehow, I don't think it's as big an issue as it used to be:
Yes, that is a computer in a mains plug. No, I have no idea if it's any good.

given the state of computing in the 1980s (that is 30 years ago if i'm doing my math correctly), even the humble Raspberry Pi will beat the pants off most computers of the era for performanceand ig you need x86... well we have those too!
that little gizmo is powered by a Bay Trail Atom processor (the E3800 to be precicse) and is available for purchase: but is rather more than the raspberry pi....

I am not going to get into, start, feed or otherwise encourage a size / performance / age pissing contest. But the image below is that of a DEC VT103. A standard 80 x 40 character display and (not shown) keyboard. The 2 slots are for TU58 Cartridge Tape Drives. The space to the side is the display could house an PDP 11/03, PDP 11/23 and possibly a PDP 11/73 and their variants. Normally a chassis that could accept 4 boards - Processor, memory, TTY and Tape and even then it would only take up half of the available space.

..... and yet you just did by going on to say

... :-P
-
Well.... I suppose I did - yeah.
But here's the thing. It will take some beating, so you could say I INB4'd the entire battle.
And frankly, after a while, it gets a bit boring watching who can piss the highest / furthest; and I find such "contests" a to the community in general.
-
t gets a bit boring watching who can piss the highest / furthest;
not to mention those who partake in such contests never clean up afterwards....
it's not fun cleaning that stuff off the walls and ceilings!
-
ceilings!
You mean that some can actually get that high, or are we talking low basement ceilings (false or otherwise)?
-

well it depends on what they are standing on to get the advantage....
some of those it's almost worth the cleanup to see them fall.... even if the paramedics are less than amused.
-
I have to ask: were copious amounts of C2H6O involved?
-

in my experience is a fairly vital component of pissing contests.

-
I do believe
fall
is correct
-
AMBIGUOUS_ACCALIA_QUERY::FAIL || FALL
both work.
they fail the contest hilariously by falling of whatever they piled up to piss off of.
-
Does "paramedics" not imply fall?
-
I'm gonna guess that that is testosterone....
-
-
-
Ok, force me to "research" it then, or should I guess it's oestrogen....
-
It's close, its got H's and O's
-
or should I guess it's oestrogen....
testosterone and estrogen are very simiular
as opposed to
not very different at all
-
I get pretty good results with C8H10N4O2
-
Combine C8H10N4O2 and C2H6O.
Not fixing the formatting
-
Oh, come on. I suck at chemistry! :)
-
Whisper:
-
Me too, I googled it
-
The only chemical compound I know and have a ready supply of is SH1T
-
C8H10N4O2
C2H6O
-
Cool Google skills?
-
I tried the idiocy that was Red Bull + vodka once (yes, I know, idiot).
All it did is upset my stomach. Pass, for more reasons than one.
-
Fail.
Red Bull + Jägermeister.
Win.
-
Irish coffee~
-
SH1T
lets see.... that would be an ionic compound given your notation. and a highly unstable one, you have a +1 charge on the sulpher/hydrogen ion, which is plausible at least, although it would be more correct to write it HS1 because of the electron orbitals
but having it bonded to an uncharged tungsten? not going to happen.
it would be HS+1T-1 and even then i doubt it would be terribly stable...
-
That could explain the smell and reaction (of other people) when the stuff starts getting volatile and begins venting off (if that is the phrase)
-
-
My guess was urea.
-
Theoretically, you could drop the VGA and Sound connectors too, relying on HDMI for video output and USB for sound.
Because it's impossible to send sound down HDMI.
-

This is technically correct. HDMI doesn't actually carry sound, it carries stream of electrons with varying voltage which can be digitally decoded into an analog signal that, with the correct hardware, could be used to produce sound waves.
PVC pipes can carry sound though.

Red Bull
Okay...
Jägermeister.
Eww. No, no, no, this thing is nasty.
I tried the idiocy that was Red Bull + vodka once (yes, I know, idiot).
One of my New Year's Eves involved a drink called a Getafix' Cooking Pot - after the Asterix (no, not the PBX software) character. Recipe involves 1,5 litre of beer, a 0,7 of vodka, a bottle of champagne, a litre bottle of a cheap energy drink, and raspberry syrup (replaceable with raspberry jabol) mixed together into a pot and poured with a ladle.
It's an evil, evil drink. But awesome.

That sounds brilliant in the it's-all-going-wrong-from-there kinda way.

Getafix
That poor bastard, he has so many localized names I always have to either use Google or guess from context to figure out who the hell he is.
Interestingly, the newest prints, and movie subtitles, I saw here actually used the original Panoramix. Kudos for that. Previous localization would roughly translate to Miraclemix. Sounds like something from an infomercial, the poor bastard.

PVC pipes can carry sound though.
You say that....
Essentially a pipe (could have been PVC) full of mercury. Digital data was transmitted down it using ultrasonic waves. It was (is), of course, Sequential Access Memory, or even FIFO.
(it could be where / why the term "hiccup" came to be used as describing an interruption of data flow in processing systems)
Edit: Sorry, couldn't resist. It could even claim to be the first voice activated processing device.
INB4: Let me make it absolutely clear. The two proceeding paragraphs are JOKES
