I remember the last time this discussion happened on this forum and it got this far: If I buy one ticket for the powerball, my odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 175,223,510. What are they if I buy two tickets?

World class athletes wouldn't compete in it.

More evidence that we're just in a big software simulation and the programmers used an unsigned variable to determine energy. As a layman this sounds extraordinary and very suspicious. Like the dudes that said they got a particle to accelerate FTL.

Tony's at I75. Favorite restaurant for men on their way up north to hunt in MI. Most famous for their rather silly BLT:

If you're a boxer and want to call out UFC fighters, call out a striker, not a wrestler, lol.

The difference between a true AI and something people actually want is becoming increasingly academic as we improve our processing and software. Shit like SIRI isn't a true AI system, but it sure is intelligent and artificial.

Goldberg is more entertaining than Anik, but he was also more embarrassing.

Who is lawnmower man? Also you missed the whole dynamic between Leo and Jackson. Leo is a relatively dumb trust-fund kiddie and Jackson was the real brains of the operation. Jackson practically raised Leo and while he acts subservient to him in public, he tells Leo what to do.

Did you play multiple playthroughs with drastically different but reasonable decisions?

Do you actually make decisions in this game? And do the results make sense or is it, "Oh you chose the smart thing, rocks fall everyone dies" ? edit: nevermind, lol. This really looks and sounds like watching a movie you have to press the play button every few seconds on.

That's because that issue sold a magazine for every household in Canada because of the demand of coal powered snow-mobiles.

Some of the stuff (The things you picked) is factual. The problem is that these tech sites always pick up some novel research that some researcher is exaggerating, then dumb it down by overstating its current state of progress and imagining up real-world applications.

Hurt Locker is the greatest super hero movie centered in the Iraq war.

Now that this thread has been brought to my attention when I'm not drinking, should I add "Science" into the Tech forum?

You can't zerg the dungeons, but they're so gimmicky it's more annoying than anything. The tank-heal-dps paradigm is much better than what they made.

Nearly everything in that list is pre-mature. It's like a list of the top 27 things that fake tech news sites have over-stated in 2012.

Having not played Eve nor Elite (Besides a few minutes yesterday where I could only play long enough to realize I needed a joystick) what does Elite:Dangerous have that Eve doesn't? From what I can see Elite has a more twitchy combat system and fewer options that require complex menus to...

Yeah Machida does that slap-cross a lot. I think the whole "divert the attack while counterstriking" is prevalent in TMA (Partially because it looks so good when doing demonstrations) but only world-class practicitioners like Lyoto can do at the UFC level in MMA, especially when they fight...

best story here tbh

I didn't get banned from either exploit things, but ANet takes all the fun out of the meta game of finding sploits before they fix them =\

sorry, couldn't resist

Yeah hipster and pretentious are not interchangeable. A hipster is pretentious in a backwards and more annoying way. As an example it'd be pretentious for me to say that future movies at 24fps can't hope to achieve the visual quality that a 48fps movie can.

Fear is the mindkiller.

Welp it made it!

After finding the tracking page it looks like this is a done deal.

Never heard of the original game but I've been bitching about there not being enough open world flight sim games out there. Just put in $65, enough to get my name in the random name generator (lol). Seems weird that it's so close to being funded, I wonder what will happen if it doesn't make...

INTJ bro, statistics matter in that they are a prime determination of my understanding of a complex world

I'm fine with feel-good measures, but yes, statistics should matter to a parent.

Yeah in the book Tyrion is a bit of an athletic super hero. Not only is an excellent tumbler but every combat scene shows him destroying people. I'm kind of glad they didn't try to make Peter Dinklage obliterate fools like it was an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess.

Emotional responses are all well and good, but let's be real here. Public schools are safe places with or without armed guards.

Why not?

It's a feel good measure, whatever.

I think it depends on whether the employees turned off the movie / turned on the lights. I'm sure there's some movie safety protocol that tells them to do that but it's not like they'd always follow it.

One of my most memorable lucky kills even if it wasn't impactful was on de_dust in CStrike. I was bunny hopping through one of the corridors and when I exited it there were two CTs across the gap. In a midair bunny hop I turned and hip fire an couple AK shots and headshotted them both. Pure...

It's so nice to be in a profession where having a cool resume is frowned upon. My wife is a graphic designer and if she turned in the resume it wouldn't be looked at

I would say anything that GRRM isn't pissed about being released. I have no idea if there's any leaks out there but that stuff would be poison to my eyes.

Cool, that's exactly what I asked for. After looking at it a bit and extending it (To add additional static boxes) it seems a bit brittle: http://jsfiddle.net/UmXB2/3/ In order to handle the animation cleanly I need to find out the exact pixel differences between the two states...

Yeah it does.
