haha fucking IT people want to wrap all computers in spill proof bubbles.

Yeah it always cracks me up when I see some cheap little game that asks you to grind for dozens or hundreds of hours to unlock weak shit. My wife has a doodling game where people guess what you draw and you get coins. If you get a hundred coins you can unlock colors. It takes dozens of games to...

It could definitely happen but I think Naruto will end up ruling with Sasuke.

Driving to Pittsburgh tomorrow. Any recommendations? Am willing to meet up with anyone if someone lives there!

lol @ fixing own eardrums.

Just bought 0.1 BTC off coinbase at 534.20 USD per coin using coinbase. Obviously it's not enough to be a significant investment but I wanted to be part of the fun. Thanks for telling me about it. I tried using mtgox.com before I saw your message and the upload on my driver's license failed...

Those are good points. Really all I remember from either game is the amount of mouse lag present. Thx unreal3 for not having hardware mouse support!

Would be better if it wasn't so fake looking.

I saw very little difference in the gameplay of Bioshock1 and infinite. The biggest differences were probably in the enemy types.

Maybe, I doubt it'll get much press in the US since it's in Brazil.

Hehe I think this discussion illustrates the frailty of human language. I ask a question to see if we still don't know how gravity works and I get the following different answers: 1. The newtonian equation for gravity. 2. A discussion of how worrying about why gravity exists is a waste of...

Is it possible for a man to win a fight against a woman? I feel like if I got in the cage with Christine Santos (Who would thoroughly embarrass me) people would still cheer for the woman.

Haha thanks. I was worried about that. Usually when I put money into a new bank I always try to deposit and then withdraw a reasonably large amount (several thousand) before I put more money in. As for BTC being valuable, it just seems like a function of whether it can be used as a currency...

It's a cool idea but I'd be a little annoyed if I bought the game and had to hunt the demo down to get a 'full' experience.

I agree with you that asking why can sometimes be obtuse and unnecessary and a trap. Could you expound upon why you cringe at someone talking about traits surviving because of evolution?

Yeah it's always been easy to find cheap hotels from priceline. I'm thinking we're driving if we go anywhere. Only reason we're travelling now is because I'll lose a bunch of vacation time at the end of the year.

The 'new paradigm!' always makes me chuckle because of how true it is.

Request accepted.

I don't really enjoy philosophical debates and maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying but I will say that the details of why something works (In this case, why does mass bend space time?) are often the key to understanding how to both hypothesis its effect on a system as well as how to...

So anyone have a good guide on how to buy bitcoins? Should I just use mtgox.com and do whatever they say?

That's one of our options.

Just worked out for the first time in months. I AM SO HUNGRY NOW

The people have spoken.

This does not look good.

If the Xmas thread didn't exist I would have removed nets already.

I have the next week off. My wife and I have no plans. We don't even care where we go as long as it's warm (50+ degrees). Is there any kind of service that searches for ridiculously cheap last minute flights to warm places? I've tried: Skyscanner - Compare Cheap Flights, Hotels Car...

Re: IT guys whose goal is to reduce the amount of work they do. Sometimes I wonder if it's counter to the goal of an IT dept, which is to help the company have functional computer systems and networks. At some places it seems the more work IT does to automate their job the less useful the IT...

Talking crap about realism in movies is all well and good but come on, every blow to the head doesn't result in skull fractures. That doctor probably thinks someone dies in every boxing match.

RIP wizardhawk

I'm definitely 100% asking the why. The affect of gravity on objects is as obvious as apples falling from trees. The reason for it is unknown.

I will continue to assume that understanding why gravity works will result in flying saucer technology.

Yeah I haven't seen any description of the scope and number of their star systems. Personally if you want exploration to be exciting you need to have a massive planetary wilderness to explore. If it's just a small theme park of highly streamlined content there's no mystery or discovery. I...

Re: Woman bitching about her husband's spending habits. Without knowing the details it's tough to say if it's smart or not. The truth is that most American finances are disasters. Most well-employed people in this country will dole out whatever seems smart to their 401k, then calculate a budget...

I haven't watched Lithose video yet but let me be very specific in what I mean. The equation you brought up describes the way in which gravity affects objects but it doesn't describe why. I get why when I push a pencil it moves because at some level my hand's molecules are bumping into the...

This is pretty big news, and google has recently sucked up a handful of other robotics companies: Google Acquires Seven Robot Companies, Wants Big Role in Robotics - IEEE Spectrum These all seem to be related to bipedal/quadripedal robots (rather than wheeled robots like their world-class...

Tired of letting my wife figure out this fertility thing. Just bought some magnesium and calcium chloride lube, a microscope and some chemical analysis strips and I made a temp spreadsheet. Gonna get this done. TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

The people have spoken. I hereby declare that 2014 will bring a new, nets free, era to this community.
