  1. Re:Comparison to Chess? on Pentago Is a First-Player Win · · Score: 1

    You forgot an important random variable... the fact that you will forgot something deemed "important" by them. At that point toss out the equation and go sleep on the couch. Do it too often and you won't have to worry about that either.

    To be fair they usually don't do this kind of stuff.

    Right. Normally, if it's broken, it stays broken until a new product release really fucks it up...

    Jesus, you sound like you're 14 years old.

    I'm pretty sure Mary said the same to Jesus...when he was 14 years old. It probably didn't mean the same thing back then.

    Hey, that had to be a rough time for him. A teenager that can turn water to wine is automatically banned from all swim meets... nothing funnier than seeing the whole team floundering about in 40,000 gallons of chardonnay!

    I'm waiting for 9.1. Don't want to be first in the pool.

    Hey, this is Microsoft we're talking about... THEIR suck goes clear to ELEVEN!

  9. Re:Cause and effect may be backwards on Daily Pot Use Tied To Age of First Psychotic Episode · · Score: 1

    Perhaps these folks were smoking that much pot as a coping means ("self medicating") because of their troubles, rather than pot causing the troubles

    I'll go with that as long as it explains me seeing the RSS headline as "Daily Pot Use Tied To Age of First Psychedelic Episode"...

    Seriously, the people who conceived and established our "right" to own weapons had just finished using the finest weapons technology available to overthrow their own lawful government... and they knew full well that the issue would come up again... because it always does.

    I would point out that one way or another anything that's actually new gets stuck where the sun don't shine... and that's working out pretty well for Doc Johnson...

    I think it works out to 0.75 Ahmet, but I have no idea how many Diva that equals...

  13. Re:Is it there? on Smaller Than Earth-Sized Exomoon Discovered? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it would serve any agency currently under scrutiny well to have astounding and spectacular tech or science headlines at this time. If you can get people that really that think to think about something else, ANYTHING else, then mission accomplished!

    That being said, anything we learn from outside our sun's gravity well may be new data worth examination.

    If all that happened in a banana republic we may say "Oh, but they are banana republics".

    We've had approximate computing since the earliest days of the Pentium CPU.

    So, you missed the whole "now we are equipping the pedestrians with glasses which actually blind them from what is going on around them" that I was replying to?
    Most states have distracted driving laws already in place to cover ANY distraction.

  23. Re:Wearers beware ! on Epson Tries to One-up Google Glass with Moverio-Goggles (Video) · · Score: 1

    Wearing stuffs like this that distract the wearers from the reality around them is dangerous.

    Not only they could walk into walls, they also could be distracted enough (like this Epson thingy which actually plays movie) to walk into the middle of a very busy thoroughfare !

    As if we haven't had enough of drivers distracted by their phones, now we are equipping the pedestrians with glasses which actually blind them from what is going on around them.

    Well, evolutionarily speaking we have kind of been coasting for awhile now... we are getting bigger and dumber (it would seem) so a thinning of the herd may be useful. Think of it as adding chlorine and a filter to the gene pool... give people the option to massively screw up and maybe win a Darwin Award.

    Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Look, Mr. Scott, I'd love to explain everything to you, but the Captain wants this spectrographic analysis done by 1300 hours.
    Scotty: Do you mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want.
    La Forge: Yeah, well, I told the Captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour.
    Scotty: How long will it really take?
    La Forge: An hour!
    Scotty: Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would *really* take, did ya?
    La Forge: Well, of course I did.
    Scotty: Oh, laddie. You've got a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker.
