    We've had this argument before it seems like a chicken and an egg problem to me. The SteamBox needs games to attract people to it and needs people to attract games to it. I think making the right choices for an attract platform, spending the money and effort required to attract developers and...

    It's fine to be against TRT, but I think Hendo and Vitor carpool to the same TRT warehouse, lol.

    I like how they say, 'People weren't ready to have a rational conversation'. Ok dude, let's have that conversation now. Tell me what cool stuff you have to go with the shit you're trying to shovel. Because all I saw was trying to take the profitability of having a Steam based system without...

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    I couldn't help myself: Note that those win counts are over all ten games. So in one game that guy that won 24 times skewed the whole fucking result a bunch. If he didn't win that time it'd be way over. Another cool observations that are intuitive if you think about it is each win count is...

    Hehe, that's exactly how rand() is supposed to work, it's not fubared. fromrand - C++ Reference This number is generated by an algorithm that returns a sequence of apparently non-related numbers each time it is called. This algorithm uses a seed to generate the series, which should be...

    Plus the PS4 uses opengl. Hopefully that alignment makes it easy to make games run natively on SteamOS, but I doubt it'll be that easy.

    You play Keith David playing Keith David from Saints Row 4 plays Captain Anderson in the first contact wars. No surprise that they're making a new ME game though. They always said they would, just without Cmdr Shepherd.

    I ran it 100000000 times (literally, check out the while(i<100000000) { } statement, that's C++ code for "Run this shit 100000000 times bro" as long as you're increasing i each time it goes through.)

    Ok that makes sense. My perception of HFT was that we'd see Joe start buying a basket of stocks on Wed, so we'd buy the stocks he wanted before him and then sell it to him at a slightly higher price. This would make Joe pay more for his stock.

    The reason I'm against HFT isn't because I think it's free/easy money but because as a layman I don't see the value in it for society. Maybe it's naive but I see the investment market as a way to move capital to good(profitable) causes. There's a ton of aspects that pervert this(derivatives...

    btw if someone knows how to calculate the average payout I'd like to see it. I think it'd be a summation from 1->infinite with x^2 and 0.5 mixed in but I don't really know how to do it.

    From my model about $13 output: avgVal:[12.922964] avgIt:[1.999862] max:[33554432] maxTimeToTails:[26] It would be a viable (if boring) casino game if they put a max (say 1024 or something) amount of gain from it, that'd likely drop the value dramatically.

    On FoH a guy was engaged in HFT and made good money, posted proof and stuff but said it sucked his life away. Personally I wish they'd make HFT illegal or untenable. As a layman it seems like it imposes a financial tax on investing and it also attracts some of the most talented...

    Thanks for the link. There's a store near me (twelve oaks mall) that has it, but I don't see anything corroborating your statements about xbones being available to play there?

    Yup. Even if they think that the host took out 98 doors and knows where the door is, it doesn't matter, they still have a 50% chance of having the right door. But really they'd probably get tired after being told to pick a door ~25 times because both contestants kept not picking the right door.
