Says you? Or is this the collective opinion of every learned scholar on the subject? I mean, "we don't understand it well enough to duplicate it" isn't the same as "it's random, therefore undesirable". What a cop-out.

It's all chemically quantifiable, yes. It has to be, because it's a chemical reaction. A very complicated reaction, granted. And yes, we would be inventing humans, with different parts. That... is... the... point. A machine that behaves like a human. But, because we are narcissistic as a...

Been married for years. I believe that her every action is finely calculated to keep my balls firmly ensconced in her purse. Point taken, though.

I love this entire statement, in that it's as wrong as anything can be. "A machine cannot reason utilizing emotions"? Why not? A response is a response is a response. Take stimulus A and respond using response B. Who cares if the stimulus is logic or emotion? At the end of the day, they are...

This. Emotion is not "random", though. Emotion is as random as a bunch of bits combined to form a result based entirely on their setting at the time. Just because I call bit #12 "happiness" or "frustration" or "anger" doesn't make it any less of a switch than "cold", "hot" or "tired". The...

Why are you fully discounting this concept without a shred of intelligent debate? Because some guy wrote a book that didn't talk about it? If we are attempting to create an artificial *human-based* intelligence, it will have to contend with emotional states of human beings in order to...

Meh. I game on 3 1080p monitors with bezels and I'm used to it by now. The only annoyance is the FOV distortion from Eyefinity / nVidia Surround, which I'm guessing doesn't happen at all on a single ultrawide, yeah?

You can't take DVI-D and directly connect it to anything analog. You need an intermediary like a KVM with logic to convert digital to analog to do that. DVI-D cables don't have the necessary pins to carry the analog signal, and if your monitor/KVM is only DVI-D (and can't do DVI-I at all), it...

Replace "ignore" with "process" and I'm with you on this. Outright ignoring emotional pain is not an appropriate response unless you're talking about an intelligence that will never actually work like ours. If you strip the emotion out of the process of thought, you're inviting decisions that...

Sometimes people don't even know they have issues with drugs until they're used later on in life. This might have been one of those times.

Holy shit. He was so young, too. That's crazy. RIP.

Sustained GPU operation at 80c isn't an issue for most video cards. I wouldn't call it "super redline", no. Close to 100c and you're in trouble. If you're monitoring under full load (i.e. FurMark) and you see a steady 80c, no worries. If it's climbing well past 80 and still going, you're...

New web browser in 2015 and no built-in adblock? Shame. Every "power user" I know uses one. You'd think they'd understand that.

A key is a key is a key unless it's VL/KMS.

I sense Sean levels of repressed anger in this one.

Actually, yeah, that sounds 100% Claptrap-ish. You sure you don't write for these guys?

They're all still there if they haven't quit the FC themselves.

Aside from the higher level encounters and world events, it's actually pretty reasonable to draw conclusions from a trial of this game. The only advice I would give is: Do a bit of everything as soon as you can. Play the first several levels of a bunch of classes. Do a bit of gathering. Do a bit...

A bunch of us are still on Gilgamesh, yes.

Just for luls, I GPU mined for an hour the other day to see how much I would make. 0.0000007 BTC or something. This, from a rig that used to do several BTC per day.

Hey, Amod, can we rename this thread "How not to advertise for your guild on RR"?

4x MSAA is derp for these tests. Not sure why they would bother. Then again, I'd assume the performance decrease isn't really all that bad, maybe a couple FPS?

Droigan, if you want a reinvite, find one of us online and it's no problem. There were purges of inactive players back in the day, yep. Exactly 0 people have asked which ISIS we meant. I should think it would be obvious.

I thought NIN was equal to or greater DPS? Maybe that's just skill talking, though.

Don't forget that Virus also has a long recast timer and a re-use debuff. Dragon Kick doesn't have either.

Haven't bothered with any of that. I do wish you could use the Odin armour for glamour, but it has to match all slots that it fits in and nothing else matches chest/legs/hands.

Ahh. I see you've met the son of the Crafting RNG, the I Actually Need That RNG.

ftfy.

FFXIV: Where crafting is more nail-biting than raiding. No, really. Crafting RNG is the toughest encounter in the game.

It's nothing like it was at launch. Is the Arnold RP stuff still around somewhere? luls.

I'll hit you up when I get on if Nehrak hasn't already. I'll be on in ~4h.

Yep, WSUS is the way. It's simple and does its job well. Unless you wrap SCCM around it, anyway, at which point it becomes part of a hideous beast that has 5000 heads and pretends it's the Jesus of all solutions, when it's more like this:

Give 'er. It's not like we're using it for its original purpose.

Whenever someone asks me why we went with SCCM "instead of" WSUS, I tell it like this: Picture the average pizza delivery guy. He has a Ford Fiesta or something, and he drives around with one pizza at a time, delivering it the way everyone expects he would. Everything is working fine...

I made Rezz and Crone officers, so they can invite folks as well. Let's start this thing back up, even if it isn't nearly as active as it used to be.

I'll find people online eventually and invite them. I'm still playing, just not as much as I was (i.e. 100% of the time).

I haven't seen anyone online to invite them. Been looking now and then.

Yeah. It was fun for a long while, but I overdid it, which is probably why I feel burnt out at this point. Meh. Maybe I'll get back into it, maybe I won't. I definitely don't feel compelled to grind out crafting to 3/4 star, though. Screw that. The grind to 2 star was boring enough and it'll...

Don't know why, but I have no appetite for any of this shit after reading most of the posts here. Oh wait, yes, I do know why. I got every class to 50 and relic before I quit, and I can't even bring myself to level rogue now. How do people put this many hours into a game anymore when there's...

No flash for a phone unveiled in 2014 is pretty horrid. Otherwise, looks pretty solid for an entry level model, for sure.
