Their latest album _The_Astonishing_ tells a story of a future time when digital music is generated by "noise machines" and mankind had forgotten what real creative music was. I know this is first attempt for AI but I (one with pretty much zero creativity) could come up with something better than that!

5 hours at 10% real time. So this was just a 30 minute skirmish.

Bought house 4 years ago. Replaced every other vanity light bulb in master bathroom = 5 new good brand CFLs. 3 years later, all have burned out while the 5 incandescents are still going strong. Waste of money. Same thing with outdoor CFLs that are on 3 hours per night. Incandescents outlasted those too.

The DS I still believe to be the superior gaming platform. It's got buttons and some touchscreen capabilities. The problem, for me at least, is that the games aren't really all that much better than the games on iOS but for some reason costs 30x more in some cases ($35 vs $1 games). iOS is killing Nintendo because of price and the real value of their games.

Best Man Rigs Newlyweds' Bed To Tweet During Sex 272

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday December 17, 2009 @09:40PM from the nice-feed dept.

When an UK man was asked to be the best man at a friend's wedding he agreed that he would not pull any pranks before or during the ceremony. Now the groom wishes he had extended the agreement to after the blessed occasion as well. The best man snuck into the newlyweds' house while they were away on their honeymoon and placed a pressure-sensitive device under their mattress. The device now automatically tweets when the couple have sex. The updates include the length of activity and how vigorous the act was on a scale of 1-10.

I liked ST5. The surrounding story sucked but the main story was more about the trio's (Kirk, Spock, McCoy) friendship than anything else. With that in mind, I find the movie quite enjoyable.
