... wow, i just edited my profile.. last time i did i was 33... now i'm 50... amazing.

Wow, it has been a lot of years since I have bothered to login to my account here, but I absolutely had to to respond to this article.

Richard Dawkins is a complete fool. Many years ago, I thought he was really smart, and insightful, but as the last 15 years or so have gone on, he is just plainly dumber and dumber... is he getting dumber, or am I getting smarter?

I hope I don't get dumber as I get up to his age.

Maybe I missed something, but it seems weird as fuck for Palmer, the guy who created a suicide device for fucks sake, to be sucking the cocks of the military industry.

They are still functional as USB barcode scanners, with the right software.

... can i store them like on a USB disk attached to the Xbox 360? Or what? like, what's the process for really taking advantage of the fact that they've introduced huge discounts to almost the entire store?

or will the download servers still live on, even after the store closes?

...why are nearly 100% of the people in multiplayer VR environments somewhere around 6 years old?

I think there's some belief involved here, because we don't really know whatever the hell it was that Tesla was up to at the time. We don't have enough information, I don't think, about what went on in his head, what he was ultimately doing, to know if he had some theory in his brain that we haven't even come close to rediscovering, or not.

It seems clear that if we had a way to do this already, if we could prove out that this was possible, using the knowledge that we have right now, then we would already be doing it, if the technological progress wasn't out of our reach.

I think this kind of hints at an underlying question -- do you believe that Tesla knew what he was doing, and that he may well have had some idea that we haven't even yet thought of, that might've worked?

Disdain? The Internet as a whole has been applauding and attempting to follow, where it can.

How much longer will the community itself keep going on with the same memes? There's a lot more to Fark than memes.

I'm so sorry to hear that seeing 3 ads on a page hurts your brain so much, that you turn into a giant raging spewmachine.

And even then, all you can do is throw models at it and strategies to attempt to use on those models.

jquery makes an absolute mess out of javascript. Much of it involves DOM manipulation, which is something you generally want to avoid doing as much as possible. It's a pain in the ass to read, has a nasty learning curve, and it's slow as fk. Don't bother, unless you need to operate on existing jquery code, or have some other very specific reason to use it or interact with code that uses it.

... this shows how little you understand of poker. Primarily, that poker is a game played between people, and it does not involve the house. The house makes some money for providing the service of dealing the cards, but it is not involved in the game of poker.

Just playing the odds is an extremely exploitable strategy.

Heads-up or even 4-handed, you're going to clear 100 hands an hour on a single table.

I paid attention pretty thoroughly to offline poker, from '02 to about '10... and I've only ever heard of him as a guy that writes articles for Bluff. He's certainly not a name anyone I know would say is #1, when there's players out there who churn through (lose-win) more than this guy has made in his entire life, on a weekly basis.
