Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They seriously did that? That's so cool.

I love this sequence of product codenames:

Earlier this year, Nvidia (NVDA) shared its Tegra roadmap, indicating that its quad-core chips will be also be shipping in smartphones as early as the first part of 2012. Nicknamed "Kal-El," this system-on-a-chip is said to be five times faster than the Tegra 2 processor, which is used in many current top-of-the-line smartphones and tablets. Next in line is the "Wayne" series (yes, Nvidia has a superhero thing going on with its chips), which the company says will be 10 times faster than the Tegra 2, followed by the "Logan" (50 times faster!) and finally the "Stark" (75 times faster!).

Though, really, I'd have put Logan at the bottom of the pack. Or the top.

It's really not worth it to return a USB to mini B cable when I needed micro B if it only cost 2.99 in the first place. If someone needs one, I'd be more than happy to send it their way.

I'm (now) guessing it's micro B that I need.

I need about 2 500GB+ external drives (portable) and 1 750 GB+ portable. Is newegg the best place to look or should I do amazon (or another place).

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So, I absolutely DID NOT just knock my ipod into a (freshly flushed, thankfully) toilet. Who would do that?! If I had, though, and had already shaken out as much water as possible, and used canned air at every opening to try to get rid of more water, would I then want to try to pry it open for further active drying or leave it alone to dry on its own (while perhaps lighting a candle for it)?
