    North Korea goes full retard

    http://www.carloslabs.com/node/20 Search for Kaesong, North Korea (it's near the DMZ) Pick a W76 100 kiloton warhead, and start picking locations to nuke. They might see a bright light in Seoul if you nuked the DMZ, but you're probably not even blowing out windows on the other side of the...

    North Korea goes full retard

    Nuke the DMZ zone, I'm not saying carpet bomb north korea with nukes and destroy all of it's cities. I'm advocating using nuclear weapons to the current threat they pose to south korea via their artillery positions with the best weapons possible for destroying hardened targets.

    North Korea goes full retard

    China and the US crafted the latest sanctions that brought about the end of the armistice. China is done with them, but more than likely when they call no one in North Korea is picking up anymore.

    North Korea goes full retard

    The fact that they're willing to let millions starve to maintain their iron grip over a nation? They lock up families for the acts of a single member, for decades at a time.. not even immediate.. you, your cousins your relatives.. everyone gets locked up. There are children who never know what...

    North Korea goes full retard

    Maybe I'm alone in this, but I'm pro just nuking the shit out of the north korean DMZ line then just driving right into North Korea and ending this. They're far too dangerous with a nuclear arsenal and their concentration camps are just disgusting. The fact that the world has let this go on as...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    They've bumped the chips, tested them at 350mhz which they passed IO validation and they should finish packaging this week and then final assembly next week. Sure they've missed a bunch of deadlines, but they're actually in a position to start shipping shortly with a high degree of certainty...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Honestly ignore Tea and keep it. They're saying they're going to deliver in May to late June if you order today. Even at a 25x increase in the network hash rate, you're still making 4-5$ a day at 45$ bitcoins. A 45$ bitcoin sounds ridiculous but the fact that you can use them to get around US...

    Getting started in computer programming

    I'm not sure how interested you are in biology still, but there is a pretty big gap right now in basic sciences, biology/genetics specifically where they have massive amounts of data and they need specialized software to analyze it which generally requires someone who understands both the...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    No one has actually delivered a commercial ASIC unit yet. A company named Avalon has shipped two demo units to purchasers and I believe there is another company with a finished product but they aren't shipping to end users and they make up about 10TH (1/4) of the current processing power of the...

    WWYD if your girlfriend said she was on birth control but wasnt and got preggo?

    Vasagel, basically it makes you completely sterile without fucking with your hormones or requiring any pills. Quick injection into the vas defs and then you're shooting blanks for upwards of 20 years. Easily reversible with another injection to remove the material. It works by blocking sperm...

    Archer

    I'm pretty sure that Archer got so drunk he ended up passing out naked on top of a pig, potentially fucking it from the trauma it seemed to cause everyone.

    What European country do you profile as?

    I think it's a combination of religion, low level of corruption and being open to immigration. Me and a coworker were almost identical other than immigration which he opposed, and he got Sweden.

    Denmark, the Canada of Europe.. so I'm not surprised.

    Archer

    I thought the first episode was kind of weak, but I really like the second episode. I'm hitting refresh over and over again on the Archer store hoping a t-shirt that says "Bros before apparent threats to national security" magically appears.

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    hah I'm doing the exact same thing. Everybody who I've forced to watch this movie has loved it but it's a pretty huge barrier to get them past the stupidity that was the first Dredd movie. My one buddy's solution to every one of his life problems is now "Incendiary" ammo, nothing like a little...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Pretty much, the algorithm that generates bitcoins limits it to generating a block every 10mins (a block is currently 25 coins+transaction fees) and will self adjust it's difficulty after 2016 blocks to ensure it stays at that rate. Every time a block is generated all the transaction associated...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    This article does a pretty good non technical explanation:http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=66 One thing it's missing is that the act of mining coins, also doubles as the verification for all transactions within the network. So it's not all "for nothing". In terms of taxing them, I believe that all...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    We had a thread for this previously on foh~ Not really sure if this should be in general or technology, this seems as good a place as any. Bitcoins just hit $17.40 US today passing their 2012 high of $16. Theres now a few thousand vendors taking bitcoins as payment, as well as word press...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    I was running software Raid 5 on linux and it just became more and more frustrating as time went on. I had one situation where a power outage caused the drive raid signature on the drives to become corrupt. I hadn't written down what I had chosen for the drive order+bit size etc, so I had to...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    I should say my issue isn't so much on the plex server, as much as the client. When browsing my movie collection it chugs like mad, television isn't so bad. I have quite a bit more data than that, so it might just not be designed for what I'm throwing at it. It's still useful, just slow.. I...

    Building a decent size media storage server

    Do you find it doesn't handle large collections well? It has a tendency to chug on my system pretty hard.. I can't even open the web interface at all.

    Building a decent size media storage server

    I'm not sure what kind of penalty there is for running it in real time, but I run it in snapshot mode, so at 3am every night calculates parity. If a drive were to fail I'd only lose whatever I had added to the raid since the last parity was calculated. The parity calculation is pretty good for...

    Kroll Show

    This~ He's hands down the best character on the league but his special was garbage. I saw a youtube clip that had his whole cat rant and it was pretty good, but the gf shut the special off after 5 mins, I watched the whole thing and it was just terrible except for the cat rant :/

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    From what I read the it would be have fully replaceable parts, meaning you could change the motherboard/cpu/gpu (It's an AMD APU according to engadget) as well as the drive which means it's more like a form factor. With the Nvidia keynote where they have ironed out their cloud gaming strategy I...

    Desktop Computers

    I would check canadapost.ca, xpresspost to the US for a graphics card shouldn't be more than 20$ and that's 3-4 days shipping. Slower methods would probably be half the cost.

    Difficult programming question

    I have never heard of game programmers making shit money. There are a few game companies in my city and far and beyond most of them offer well above what the average programming gig does. Generally beginners start in the 60-80k range with a senior making 120k+. These are base salaries with a...

    Have you cheated?

    I've never cheated, though I have been in some odd situations where I was probably by all accounts in a relationship with multiple women, but they knew each other and were okay with it. I also had a fetish for taken women in highschool/college but I got into a serious relationship in my mid...

    Fuck lawyers, fuck condos, fuck condo fees and fuck special assessments. Also fuck condo boards. Four assessments in three years totaling $18,300 (5000$ from my previous owner, I've paid another 5k and on the hook for another 8.3k). So one of these assessments happened before I moved in and...

    If he got fucked by a dude that's really messed up, but it was probably all horse shit :P Anyways I'd be down for Evelys coming back, he has provided tons of hilarity and always had something interesting to add in the political thread. He should face the music for the morenetz shit and I can't...

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    We met up talked, and agreed that what would work for her wouldn"t be fair to me, so we called it off. She actually went and talked to a counselor about it and the counselor had a lot of good reasons why we shouldn"t be together. There was apparently a lot of other things going on that she...

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    I confronted her Sunday night and she broke down saying that "break" wasn"t really the right word for what she wanted. She just wants space to figure out whats up with herself, I asked her specifically what that meant and what "space" would entail and she just said she didn"t know. I told her...
