"We've contacted Sony for comment, but have not received a reply at time of publication. " http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/02/report-psn-hacked-showing-stunning-lack-of-credit-card-security.ars Apparently, the security is so fail, you can get free games just by changing the URLs. :laugh:

Now, I want to ask it questions... When is this thing going to go online? :blink: I think I was going to name it something like "CPU vs. Human", commonly used in games, but I trying to fit as many short keywords into the title to make it clear what the thread was about from the lounge, in order...

Is it wrong I was rooting for the computer to beat the measly humans?

haha, I don't think anybody was fooled, we just like to argue. Feed the trolls, else everyone here will starve.

Pretty much this. What did they say?

Well, there is a lot of doom and gloom with a forecast suggesting: hot with a chance of shit hitting the fan. Are solar flares a real threat? (video) Researchers say the Sun is awakening after a period of low activity, which does not bode well for a world ever more dependent on satellite...

Not so much in the classic sense of the word "book": http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&biw=1568&bih=752&tbs=nws%3A1&q=borders+bankruptcy&aq=f&aqi=g-z2&aql=&oq= More and more, people are getting their books digitally.

Interesting comment. I have observed such things in other areas of nature... though I can't think of any off-hand.

Haha. But don't forget someone had to enter that information into a computer at some point. I agree, but I'm not sure if that's not part of the test - how long it takes it to search all of its archives and go through all of its algorithms to come up with the answer. Sometimes the computer...

This is just a difference in bit rate/sample rate of rips - all I need is a bigger hard drive to store the larger files, which is fine for albums that are special to me. So it's not a matter of spending more money. If you are talking about music creation, I've created all of my music using...

I don't think you understand, read this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/a-prima-donna-pc,544-4.html http://www.tweakheadz.com/16_vs_24_bit_audio.htm It only works with Vinyl or Vinyl rips. The difference is what makes all the difference. I simplify my obsession here:

Sun unleashes huge solar flare (time-lapse video) "The eruption is a so-called X-flare, the strongest type" The massive spot near center is the X-flare. My internet wasn't working when I woke up this morning, I had to reset that bitch. I have no idea if it's related, of course.

Reminds me, I need to update my STEREO thread...

I like Techland; in the past they have attached some innovative or mostly overlooked or out of favor gameplay ideas to the 'tried and true' formulas. For instance, in one of their rally games, you had to pay for repairs to parts, or you could upgrade them instead. Another thing they did was...

When you say things like "I had a lot of fun", you implicate yourself. Wow, don't become criminals, you'd be telling on yourself all the time. Oh, wait. . er, never mind.

I love the insight they have provided periodically during the episodes, especially during day 2. Very interesting. One day in the future, we may have something like this -- probably much more polished -- all in the palm of our hand, or as a wrist watch. Go on, ask it a question. Beats the...

I have a simple, tall, black-stained bookshelf I got from Ikea when I was only a teenager. In recent years, I've placed it in a dark corner of my room and made it difficult to navigate nearby, thereby excusing me from reading anything on it. I have loaded it with beautifully bound classics such...

'Watson', IBM's Artificial Intelligence, competes against human contestants in a 3 day Jeopardy special. NOVA science documentary covers Watson in detail Day 1 (Feb. 14, 2011) (part 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLdkJpAtt1I (part 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXH7jn2AHAw...

You think that's a wall of text? That's hilarious. Look, we are talking about a friend of mine here. The question is, why are you telling him that mediation is "bad news"? This claim has huge implications on Akira's life; you and Shift have encouraged him to avoid getting help. Do you have some...
