Do we seriously expect a guy to spend several hours doing nothing but watching a computer do its job without jacking off at least once?

Your spine is capable of flexing to fit your chair, too. That doesn't mean you shouldn't worry about proper lumbar support.

I've just thought of another problem; if a machine-friendly identifier isn't visible for some reason, said machine will likely not realize it has picked up two garments that are wadded, staticked, or stuck together. It also might tear something in the course of trying to separate two garments which it has correctly recognized.

This almost works, but you need a solution other than QR/bar codes. For those to work, the robot has to pick up a random garment that has been randomly wadded into a hamper, find a code that may not be flat enough for it to identify as such, flatten it, and pray to its machine gods that it hasn't washed out or frayed at all. RFID in the seams would work; though they'd eventually fall out, that probably correlates better with damage sufficient to send a garment at least to the thrift store. Bonus: Wal-Mart and the NSA know what underwear you have on today, which is fairly apropos.

Yes it is. It doesn't do any of the content delivery, since there's nothing there you can play on Android anyway, but I can log in, perform account management, buy stuff, tell steam to install something to my desktop if it's on, use the friends list.

Give me the legal right to give the NSA director a colonoscopy with a bottle brush and we'll talk.

Aggregating scores makes them LESS reliable. There are many instances of large publishers pinning bonuses to metacritic scores, leading devs to improperly attempt to court reviewers to raise them.

This headline violates Betteridge's Law, and therefore constitutes pro-review score propaganda. I call shenanigans!

Stuart Ashen put up a video a while ago showing off an obscure 80s construction toy that came with a cassette tape telling the ridiculawesome Saturday-morning cartoon style backstory of the characters you could build with it.

He realized at one point it was just repeating the same text in the booklet, and fast-forwarded to make sure.

Some fucking kid in the comments asked why he "added that annoying fake fast-forwarding sound." I think I cried a little.

The F-15 is better at CAS than the A-10. It can loiter much longer and see much better. Also, it's not an idiotic Red Scare fueled hack job that dumps all the gross bullshit from firing its gun directly into its engines. The A-10 is seriously a stupid piece of shit. It wouldn't even be particularly useful if the giant columns of Russian tanks it was supposed to fuck up suddenly materialized, because the GAU-8 isn't nearly effective enough at defeating modern armor.

Yes, because nations which have both current and historical problems with euro colonialism squeezing the resources out of them totally have the technology and abundance necessary to attempt socialism. When they fail to do it, obviously that means it will fail everywhere. Makes perfect sense.

This isn't an overpopulation problem. It's a "we still expect people to pay for food and shelter even though we don't need anyone to do any work" problem. AI is going to force us to grow out of capitalism.

Live by the quant, die by the quant you rich assholes.
