    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Yes, the misunderstanding in this problem is the circumstances of the second choice. If you look at the second choice in a vacuum, it is definitely 50/50. However, when you add in the circumstance that your first choice was more likely to be wrong, it becomes skewed in favor of the switch...

    How often do you get email meant for someone else?

    Some kid occasionally uses my e-mail when he signs up for tween-targeted apps, then posts a bunch of moronic swag-fag crap. I know this because take over each account and delete it. If he did it enough to actually piss me off, I would sabotage him thoroughly before deleting the account...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Glad to see they are finally looking at adding the features that could make D3 go from a playable game to a great game. Hopefully they deliver big now that they got rid of the scourge that is Jay Wilson.

    Terraria

    Redigit says 1.2 will officially release on Oct 1st. This is much more definitive than the previous "around this time" announcements made. Skepticism is still understandable.

    Just saw this and LOL'd. Make sure you PAY THE IRON PRICE and murder someone for the ore.

    Zimmerman stands his ground against wild moose.

    I had never seen pics of the wife before. Good god, were the two of them having a race to 300 lbs? Zimzam did some serious catching up in the clink.

    Realm of the Mad God

    Yes, they restored all lost characters into new slots. While they were silent all day, they were furiously working to get the game back up. Seems like they responded pretty well. They believe the FORUM login db was compromised, but not the GAME login db. So take that into consideration for...

    War with Syria

    That is the positive aspect of distributing responsibility. The negative aspect is that if you had 50 sets of regulations for the 50 states, the regulatory burden would be mind-bottling. It would also again favor large companies, who can afford to keep a large regulatory affairs staff...

    Realm of the Mad God

    Not sure if anyone on Rerolled still plays this, but the game was hacked today. If you do play, DO NOT LOG ON with characters you care about. Someone got admin rights and has been spawning high level mobs in the Nexus on many servers. You will die as soon as you load. They also took...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    Let's summarize the things you should/shouldn't do while buying a used car for posterity: - DON'T exchange any money until a bill of sale and signed title are on the table - DON'T ever buy a used car without Carfax'ing it. - DO get the car inspected by a mechanic before purchasing it (if...

    War with Syria

    Could we have possibly expected anything different? It's not like the regime has a great record of caring for its citizens in the past couple of years. All of our ridiculous waffling after promising to rain missiles, and we are surprised they are making an effort to turn it into a PR...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    Check renter's rights in your state. Things like carpet have a legally defined lifetime and if you've been in the same place for a long time (like 5 years), any claims on the carpet will probably be severely pro-rated or voided entirely. The more you know!

    Cubeworld

    I may be too pessimistic. The lack of communication from the devs makes me nervous. I hope they do a lot more with it, it has tons of potential.

    I haven't played in a while. Have they added any content and/or features since the alpha release? If not, it's not worth buying and may be a dead project at this point.

    War with Syria

    Both have ended up going massively over-budget, with the unit cost on both being far above expectations IIRC.

    MiG-29s are modern fighters. Especially if they have the upgraded avionics package. If you want to see a laughable air force, look up North Korea's.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Not sure I'm a day 1 guy if it is in the $40 range (as would be expected). But I will probably pick it up and play it at some point. I actually like what the game became after numerous patches, though there is still plenty of room for improvement. A free expansion would go a loooooong way...

    Operation: Adebisi O'Mara

    Find all social media outlets for the place and have the internet take a dump on them. Then leave a flaming bag of dog poo on her porch and ring the doorbell. Observe. Come back and declare victory.

    Have you gotten the power-up and won the game yet? Or were you murdered in your work parking lot? Inquiring minds need to know. EDIT: Damn, mures beat me to it.

    hyperloop

    The "rail-gun" launch method typically gets burned by track length limitations. A track long enough to limit acceleration to where it doesn't crush the people & items inside while still hitting exit velocity from ~ground level is extremely long. And before you say "But Haast, just build a...

    Perhaps they can build the support towers ready to hold a second set of tubes at fairly low additional cost. So scaling would just involve dropping a second set of tubes into place.

    hyperloop

    I thought the paper called for airport-like security. Regardless, I think it gets somewhere in between no security and airport security since, as you said, it can't be commandeered. It would be a prime target though, so I could see to gov't protecting their investment with security checks.

    Actually, on the topic of cramped spaces, has anyone ever seen the original capsules used in early US spaceflight? I was touring a NASA facility and saw a miniature model of one hanging in an exhibit. Then I read the exhibit plaque and realized it wasn't a miniature model, it was the real...

    Ok then. Why does this matter again? Are you saying no one will accept having to sit next to a single person for a 30 minute ride? Quick, call the automobile companies and tell them they've been doing it wrong for the last 100 years!

    Your best hope for car innovation is self-driving cars. Flying cars are sci-fi mental masturbation that will never happen, or at least not in our lifetime. If cars were self-driving (especially on highways and other high-traffic roads), traffic could be coordinated with some elegance and you...

    hyperloop

    I would say it's an evolutionary leap in the train category. Like going from a diesel locomotive to a 250+ mph bullet train. However, it adds additional features that make it more enticing. It takes plane speeds with no ascent/descent penalty, departure schedule on par with city rail...

    Yeah, I'm sure he is somewhat optimistic on costing in general. I assume he is calling R&D a sunk cost, with the assumption that after successful deployment in Cali, it would be deployed to numerous other locations. He's also not costing in pork/bribes to get things done. However, fuck the...

    Is this one "Escape from Heroine Whore's Shitty Apartment Complex"? Because that was a sweet-ass game.
