If the suggestions aren't static, then they are useless.

If I know to type "mittens" I need to press M, I, and then it will be the word suggested in the center, then I will learn to use it. If I type M, I, and the suggested word could be "milk" or "might", etc. then stopping to read the suggested words will take longer than just typing the word out myself.

Same goes for word predictions based on the previous word. It has to be static to be useful.

Svedka is the best I've found in terms of quality/price, it's about $18-$22 for 1.75L.

Although I still keep some top shelf bottles in my bar for when I want to drink it on the rocks without any mixers (just a slice of lime).

As another vodka lover, what are your favorites? I usually go for Crystal Head, Grey Goose or Belvedere, but I'm not exactly a connoisseur.

Comment Re:This guy personifies when NASA had creativity.. (Score 1) 34

I don't normally post about personal things, but this seems like a good place for it. There was another guy like him who passed away recently. My grandfather was an amazing man, and (I like to think) played a very important role in NASA's success. The den at his house is basically a museum of his medals and signed photographs with astronauts and presidents. I loved going through it with him, and I'm going to miss listening to his stories.

So just encrypt your porn before you upload it. problem solved. If I were to use it, I would probably use it for archiving porn. I would prefer rsync but for the average person it would probably be enough to just upload a zip file of last year's porn photos. It would be easy enough to encrypt your porn while you were zipping it.

While #2 is escalating the situation, the guys asking you to stop taking pictures with your friends are the douchebags. The proper response to your false dilemma would be to inform the guys "No, I am out with friends in a public location, and we are going to take pictures of ourselves if we want."

Going back to something you said earlier:

How the fuck is performance in a fully deterministic computer game more impressive than performance in an infinitely variable real world?

There are a finite number of games of Go possible. At least to my understanding, but I don't know all the rules. There are definitely a finite number of possible moves on a given turn.

I'm not really sure what the argument is with you and the GP. Trying to prove whether e-sports or traditional sports are harder or more impressive? I don't think it's possible to say. When you have humans competing against other humans at something, you're going to see some amazing things. It doesn't matter if it's an e-sport or a traditional sport, or if it's fully deterministic or infinitely variable.
