Just don't let it be in control of the pod-bay doors

Looks like the Mandelbrot set in 3D!

I would be interested in learning what good reasons people don't like Thunderf00t for?

Did the amazing Amiva conversion of Bomb Jack make it to slashdot recently? That is seriously impressive and beats the hell out of the Elite conversion. If you have an amiga then you just tty it!

This is along with various other bits and pieces that turn my MATE linux desktop into something that is virtually indistinguishable from Windows XP!

Why have I done this? I was bored the other night and there's something slightly amusing about running an i7 8700 CPU with 16gig RAM using Linux...all looking like an ancient Microshaft OS!

I listened back in 2009 when all you guys told me Bitcoin was pointless. A couple of years later I thought for myself and got hold of a few...which are now worth 20X that amount...oh and any initial 'fiat' investment has since been taken out and I still have thousands of $$$ worth! So to all the naysayers - I have bitcoin, it didn't cost me anything and I'm happy.

Agreed. I've only ever used GIMP for simple graphical stuff (used to be backend web dev and sometimes tinkered with images instead of asking the 'pros' to do it in PS). Everything I needed to do (resize, cut bits n bobs, move stuff around) all was easy to do. I tried the same in PS and was like "dunno how to do anything". I think PS'ers complain about GIMP because they're not used to it. Same as Windblows users who 'can't use' linux because it's 'too hard'. It's just different.

That is actually pretty scary. Imagine all children being given this at birth in a small enough dose that it doesn't make them trip out. So now they have a permanent colony of these things and due to the tolerance will never be able to enjoy mushroom tripping again.
 

Had my eldest at 29 and he's pretty 'geeky' and loves science.

It's for their school cafeteria and I told my wife that I didn't want it done but apparently I was being "paranoid".

Yep, the high fees of btc are a bitch at the moment. My personal (and slightly tin-foil-hat) belief is that it has been infiltrated by either people wanting to make money from side-chains OR people (read: government) who want to see it fail.

A simple increase in the blocksize would fix the high fees instantly as more transactions could be handled in a single batch.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on Bitcoin by any stretch, so please feel free to correct me...unless you're one of the two types of people mentioned.

Oh yes, I forgot about all the stuff I've bought along the way with it, mobile phone, graphics card, motherboard, cpu, memory...and loads of e-liquid etc.

Yes, I'm an idiot.

Oh really? Damn, I thought I was clever for buying some, waiting for it to rise, cashing out my initial investment and still being left with a few btc. My bad, obviously an idiot.

...I installed the linux version of this a couple of days ago so I could see what people at my old job are listening to (we had a shared playlist that everyone could add to). All went well and I could see they were (still) listening to crap music. But later I started getting facebook crap in my inbox and I deactivated that rubbish years ago. It seems that it cheekily reactivates facebook. Not happy at all.
