Pfft, he isn't a real ninja, I can totally see him.

He was on Sidoh's, Blaze's, and your monitor. I'd say that's pretty ninja.

My question is can a hacker be considered a ninja? They both operate with stealth and guile.

Anytime you feel like working on that ignore mod, Sidoh

I'm working on some homework currently. I'll try to get to it afterwards?

Get it done after.

I want to know what the anagram to Count Lacouch's name is if nobody guesses.

I'd much prefer a fat dutch over a swisher. Swisher's are small. Plus Dutch's have the outer leaf and if you roll it right you rewrap the outer leave making a perfect blunt with a perfect taste. Cali just isn't up to speed, sorry.

You act as if you're the only one who uses different wraps.

And here I am complaining about temperatures at freezing. Then again, I don't have heat where I stay.

General Discussion / Re: XKCD: metric conversions

« on: January 07, 2009, 07:35:08 pm »

All I'm pointing out is that decimal is not intuitive. If it were, it would have been simultaneously adopted by almost every ancient civilization. If having 10 fingers was really the intuitive motivation for decimal, it went unnoticed by ancient civilization like Babylon, Egypt and even the Mayans. But, its a known oddity that people have a very easy time doubling quantities in their head. I wonder if the human mind is better suited to bases of powers of 2. It's hard to objectively tell...but I think the fact that people have an easy time doubling quantities should be a good indicator.

A lot of people miss intuitive stuff.

I think people are better at patterns than anything, and doubling follows a pattern.

Or maybe ease of doubling is an indication that the brain stores quantities in a binary-like representation.

Neurons do fire in a binary-like manner give or take the inhibitory effect on neighboring neurons. This leads me to believe that the universe would be more accurately depicted by binary-representation.

General Discussion / Re: Apple kills DRM on iTunes Store purchases!

I'd just like to point out my friend tried purchasing a song just now, and it was in .m4p format (protected .m4a) and that he was unable to create an MP3 version of the song straight from iTunes, because "protected songs cannot be converted to other formats."

:|

I had to download a third-party application (noteburner) in order to convert from .m4p to .mp3. It creates a virtual device that mounts the image as an audio CD (i.e. from the burning feature in iTunes) in order to rip it.

yeah, you suck.

just a little.

Some southern gentleman you are, riding on daddy's wealth. It's a shame you're all too transparent.

I don't even know who you are, but if you have something to say about me, say it.

Ok, although it won't be anything you haven't heard before. You're a pretentious, naive prick who knows very little about the world except for that which was given to you on a silver platter. Additionally, you seem to lack any sense of humbility, which is what irks me the most.

That's all I've got, but thanks for letting me rant as well as taking it with stride.

You seem to talk a lot about maturity, humility* and all those things. It vexes me.

That it should.

All three of you fail at quote tags.

It was broken in someone else's post and I was too lazy to fix it in mine. An astute observer you are, though.

That doesn't mean much coming from you. I could just as easily say that you're fake depending on the people you're around, which appears to be the case overall.

Probably. You do know me pretty well afterall.

The same way you know Californians pretty well, right? But hey, you can say whatever you need to in order to make yourself feel like less of an asshole in comparison with everyone else.
