I'm wondering how the hell they're going to deal with this really - without blackholing people who want to be found online.

My name is an alias for one folkpop-humppa star.. so if I request my name to be blocked will other people be at the same time? I mean they can't, it would take a real person to go through the hits and even then it would be hard for them to judge if it is me or someone else with the same name that's mentioned on the site xazyx.

dunno, put a chair on it.

anyhow, you Could stand on it with the feet facing same direction one after one I suppose(if it was not for that one switch anyways). but it wouldn't be so good position to ride.

anyways, it looks like a fun toy. don't know many so hipster friendly cities where you could substitute a bike with it(pedalled or motored). I mean, you could probably commute with it if your office was at the gate of your so called gated community but going over walkways or going among bikes with it?

why everyone thinks sexbots would be just for sexual misbehavior, when they could be just about having good time without (much) drugs whenever you wanted, cheaply and accessible to people who can't afford a harem.

and yes that would actually solve a lot of problems for a short while and probably save on resources too.

oh yeah fucking and masturbating for fun is sexual misbehavior.. if you're catholic..

I'd take node.js over php any day of the week. also over python. practically over anything that doesn't have true threads really since that's the thing that makes node messy for some use. for everything else it's pretty damn neat.

)unless you just take a boilerplate "kit" of software for creating a website and end up with 20 different libraries and something that goes through 10 libraries for http reply... but only a php idiot would go that way(spoiler: many node projects end up that way).

next up, Nike hijacking some freerunners channel ads.

Because you know, if you use Nike shoes all profit belongs to them because they own copyright to the shoe logo. makes perfect sense??

fuck no, no it doesn't. Nintendo should just publish their own playthroughs instead of retroactively trying to hijack shit. what's next, they going to claim rights over late '80s movies that show someone playing smb3?

Comment infinite amounts? well yeah, if 3 is about infini (Score 1) 80

"Each 22.7-times larger Efimov state is also 22.7-squared times weaker, requiring the optical trap to be cooled even further to allow the new state to form. Grimmâ(TM)s group perfected its techniques and detected the state at the very edge of experimental limits."

"Meanwhile, the two other groups managed to observe three consecutive Efimov states by taking advantage of a footnote in the theory: When a trimer is built from a mixture of different particles rather than an identical set, the scaling factor of 22.7 decreases according to the particlesâ(TM) relative masses. In other words, nesting dolls made of atomic mixtures become closer in size, enabling more of them to be observed within the experimental window."

cool sure, but ""The law is a geometric progression of evermore-enormous trios of particles, spanning in a theoretically infinite sequence from the quantum scale to (if the particles were cold enough) the size of the universe and beyond. âoeAlthough we didnâ(TM)t see an infinite number of them, thereâ(TM)s pretty strong evidence when you see three in a row,â Chin said.""

yeah sure, universe size yeah why not if we have 3 smallest and every sequence is weaker...

Comment Re:Developers? (Score 1) 225

you get the developer version. or chromium.

but anyhow, this is along the biz reasoning why they started chrome originally. when they started, the most popular browsers were looking like they were going to ship with adblocker extensions by default... and boom google comes up with funding for a browser of their own.

the fov is what makes oculus so good.

and also, FUCK THE MOVE CONTROLLER. the best way to play with oculus(and similar) still is sitting on the sofa with a keyboard and a mouse. unless you think your going to play for 10 minutes - and we all know that if a gaming session is 10 minutes then the game isn't that good to begin with...
