Title: Cool stuff found on the Internet (Take 2)
Post by: EUOL on April 17, 2002, 11:03:25 PM
Okay....
Wow, the stuff you miss while you're asleap. (You sure you're all okay?  I thought I saw some body parts flying in there...)

Anyway, I started this thread because I like to plumb it for things to review for the Tower of Cheapness, and because I like seeing what people find on the internet.  So, we'll try again.  If you happen to find an interesting link--not nessissarily something you want to plug, just something amusing or of particular note--feel free to post it here.

Here's cool link you can all look at: www.seanbaby.com

the guy swears like a sailor, but he sure is funny. The site is basically a bunch of random essays on nintendo, the Justice League of America, and stupid world news. My personal favorites are the Exciting Kick to the Groin Adventures. You'll just have to read it to find out--it's too weird to explain.

Creepy, yet fun. Just the way we like it.

Jeff/Jordon- maybe your games can be like this   ;)

Ok, this one's just killing me. I'm sure it has something to do with the slope of the line, but it still doesn't make any sense. Maybe 42 can figure something out, he's the visual one.

Title: Re: Cool stuff found on the Internet (Take 2)
Post by: House of Mustard on May 06, 2002, 03:00:17 PM
Ok - It was buggin the crap out of me so I figured it out -- referring to the triangle thing.

Since I don't have pictures, I will refer to individual shapes by their colors, the top composite as A and the bottom as B.

The total area of both A and B is the same: 32 units.  The problem is that the pictures are an optical illusion (with the aid of thick lines.)

The slope of the green triangle is .4 and the slope of the red is .375.  Therefore, while it looks like the hypotenuese of the composite is one straight line, it is actually two straight lines, angling slightly in the middle.  You can tell because the added length of the hypoteneuse of green and red equals 14.045, while the length of the hypoteneuse of a 5x13 triangle should be 13.928.

Composite A bows slightly in - the red triangle has less of a slope than the green.

Composite B bows slightly out.  This bow (along with the excessively thick lines) give the composite enough extra room to shove that "hole" in.

If none of that stuff made sense, just remember that the composites are not true triangles - and that A and B are not exactly the same shape.  (though they look like it.)

IB Trigonometry finally pays off!

I posted this over at AORP this morning, too, but thought I'd cross-post to be sure. This was emailed to my company as a press release. I thought you'd all find it immensely amusing.
...


for immediate Release

The present press release is sent to a selected number of media contacts which created the most compatible impression with us become.

Consequently, we will immediately take you from our dispatcher list.


“Gothic against terror”

On the basis of the bad force file of the Satanic - Pair of Ruda and the Erfurter amuck, I have established the campaign “Gothics against terror”. So far, it is present in the internet exclusively under http://www.gothic-against-terror.com. The fatal defamation of the Gothik-scene and also the consequently concerned people, is allowed to and can be tolerated no more longer. The base picture of our society, incorrect, immediately should become corrected before it assumes serious social sizes. The coverage of the media is based exclusively on Unknown, claims and bad, slanderous Talkabout.Die Gothik - movement has nothing, but also not the lowest with the dreadful satanics mean! Satanics are not to be identified through their optics, that something marks them its the single belief alone. Sound investigations prove that they avoid even all sensation strictly.

Exclusively the media world possesses the Possebility, our society the real facts, to mediate over the Gothik's. Fact is, Gothiks express their personal life attitude like every other grouping. Unfortunately, the people immediately associate the evil and the death with this admittedly very bizzaren style. This grouping gives serious thought only very critically to topic to the taboo
death on that occasion. They accept it as an obvious component of the human existence. The society cannot understand that black lets also beautiful things bandaged with the color. As for example melancholy, romanticism, protection and security. their interests are directed at the lyric, the Middle ages, old graveyards, vampire stories, that of Mytologie as well as various occult Themes. Occult is on no account with the evil, however, to equate. It is the fascination of the fear, miraculous phenomenons and white magic. It happens from pure interest and on no account in the intent, to practice angry rituals. they embody a peaceful way of life, extend rather back and occupy itself with their thoughts and the sense of the life.

Through the immense prejudices, they are met with very big refusal in the everyday life, partial is even made unbearable it them. Angry gazes, insults, to be served even the refusal. The fear that somebody from fear of the "supposedly satanic thought property “some dreadful one could commit, lies consequently very draws near. One can let do it so far come by no means.

It would be the modified media certainly more profitable not to revise reality. The topic Satanism can be wiped out to the suffices, delivers headlines. However, the Constitution of the human dignity should not be changed to this case by the freedom of the press.

I'm always impressed by what translator programs are able to pull off--no matter how eloquent the original piece, they turn it into laughable (but usually intelligible) English. It's a question I've always wondered about Star Trek--when they use the universal translators, does it make them sound like backwater hicks to whatever new race they've just encountered? When aliens come to Earth and try to communicate, will they all talk like hillbillies?

I was looking through old posts on this thread catching up and I ran across the triangle problem. It didn't bother me. I don't really see what the problem is. The shapes are in different spots so the conglomerate shape looks different. What's weird about that?

I liked the Gord page though Tage. That was cool.
Title: Re: Cool stuff found on the Internet (Take 2)
Post by: Fellfrosch on May 22, 2002, 07:23:40 PM
The weird part, Prometheus, is the area. Putting the shapes in different spots does not change the total area of the four shapes. It's not a matter of the conglomerate shape looking different, it's a matter of there suddenly being a hole in the middle of it that should not, technically, be there. Moving shapes around does not change their area.

(Well, unless you cheat, like this guy did, and hide it with thick lines.)

We made fun of you because that is what we do, not because of any real knowledge and/or conviction.  I've actually never played DDR, or even seen it played (except through news clips.)  

If they wanted me to play, all they would have to do was make it more than just little dance moves--make it so when you wave your hand, you fire a missile at the other player.  Now that would be a dance 'revolution.'

I'm probaly the least bible scolary of the church going people on this site and even I find a lot of things in the skeptics bible to be very wrong.  i was looking through the book of mathew and the list of contradictions, and i couldn see what he thought was a contradiction.  though the absurties are funny.

Post by: Entsuropi on July 22, 2002, 11:56:24 AM
i have to admit that his list of contraditiions seems to be based on some wierd criteria. i think that it refers to a contradiction against the normal view of god. ie. kind, caring etc etc.

"Chick" refers to Jack T. Chick, the author of the tract.  He has a whole website of them, and is actually somewhat well-known.  

Scott Kurtz, of PVP, did a nice little rant on Chick.

Note that among the less vindictive yet still very faithful Christians, chick isn't necessarily very compelling. My born-again co-worker and I endlessly bash him, especially since our mail tends to include at least one every couple weeks. My biggest complaint is that he needs a good artist. Oh, that and perhaps a spiritual dimension to his bigotry. My co-worker agrees.

And on that note, I received 2 pounds of JW tracts in the mail today. Yes, that's a lot. Funny thing is, I actually learned a couple things. Then I threw them all away. Their concept of eternal reward fails to appeal to me in any way, and their unique vocabulary and term usage seems designed to be contradictory (to all other Christians).

The Geek Test (http://www.innergeek.us/geek.html)

I got "14.20118% - Geekish Tendencies" - the lowest rank. I feel proud.

The highest ever score was "001--Arridian: Geek God, 69.82249%"

Oh, a couple other tests -

"I have read: Douglas Adams, Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen Hawking, Robert Heinlein, Robert Jordan, H.P. Lovecraft, Anne McCaffrey, Jrr Tolkien" er.. yes, all the above... in facte all but 3 of the items in that section...

And the best "I want to score well on this test"

I was disappointed that there was an entry for I have 2+ dictionaries but not 2+ dictionaries in each of 2+ languages (the number for the first for me is at least 2, in each of 4 languages...)

I got 57.00197% - Extreme Geek. Which is third from the top, barring only "Geek God" and "Dysfunctional Geek." If only I knew more than HTML, Perl, and some crappy scripting languages, or at least my Geek Code, then I'd be a Geek God.

I tried "dice," but I answered all the questions from a roleplaying perspective. In addition to the normal stuff like being used for games, I said that dice can be used to obtain information and accomplish tasks, and I said that they can be found in an office (because I have several sitting here with me). The poor program didn't know what to do with itself, and gave me crazy answers like "a phone card" and "A CD-Rom."

heh. Even acknowledging that guy exists is giving him FAR too much credit. He empitimizes the bigotted unloving idea of Christianity that too many people have. He's entirely irrational and self-contradictory. For example, I received one by mail recently (they send them to us here at work ALL THE TIME) that claims Allah is a pagan god even my Islam's standards. Apparently, Jack Chick thinks that the whole world will just bend their knees and kiss your feet if you're a jerk and tell them they and their ancestors have been making the world's stupidest mistake for several centuries, especially if you pretend to show evidence but don't say anything that actually makes sense.

Ok, maybe some of you have seen/played this. But I *just* discovered Button Men. The buttons aren't free, but you can play online free at http://www.buttonmen.com
It's a lot of fun. Green Knight sent me their expansion (4 sets, in fact) called Buttonlords featuring Arthurian characters. Each button has a different amount of dice of varying sizes. You then try to capture each other's dice for points. I convinced a coworker to play with me, and it's fun.

My username at buttonmen.com is thelemur, incidentally, if you want to challenge me. They have a full set of rules there, so you can learn how to play.

Really? My friend's son is 2 and can change the display settings. He's also been known to start to set up a Warcraft III internet game. Because of that his parents now log out of XP Prof. everytime they aren't using the computer, and he has figured out that you are supposed to click on an icon and type something.

He's actually quite scary to watch.

You want some crazy stuff? Well try this. My Computer Programming teacher's baby boy, who is probably about a year old, can play counterstrike. And is reather good at it too.

Okay, that's really freaky too.

What is Counterstrike about? Is it a first-person shooter?

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on September 17, 2003, 07:57:18 PM
Yeah, in a terrorist/counter-terrorist scenario.

YOu should know that if my wife doesn't let them watch Disney's Robin Hood she doesn't let them near UT, right? Yeah, my kids will grow up with no computer skills that will help them.

UT=Unreal Tournament  It's the first person shooter (FPS) that Counter Strike (CS) is built around.

You are funny Spriggan. I do not know weather to laugh, or laugh harder. CS is not based on UT. CS is based on Half-Life. UT does have a mod that is similar to CS, I forget what the name is. Urban Terror, thats the name!

Good god Spriggan. Do you know nothing?

HL (Half Life) is the FPS that CS is a mod for.
UT is a game that came out 2 years later...

Gemm, Urban Terror is the Q3 (quake 3) mod. Can't remember the name of the UT one.

Answer a bunch of questions and it will tell you who your ideal presidential candidate is.  It gave me a 100% score for George W., which surprised me quite a bit since I thought I was more liberal than that.  83% was Lieberman, for what that's worth.  I scored 3% on the Natural Law candidate.

Title: Re: Cool stuff found on the Internet (Take 2)
Post by: Fellfrosch on September 18, 2003, 03:34:08 PM
I got 77% for Bush, and 100% for some dude from Ohio: Dennis Kucinich. Frighteningly, I got 85% for Lyndon LaRouche, but on the plus side I got 45% for Retired Army General Wesley K. "Wes" Clark--I have no idea who that is, but he has the coolest name on my list.

Of my 14 results I got 11 Democrats, 1 Republican (GW), 1 Libertarian, and 1 Consistution party guy. If GW can be that high on my list and yet still be the only Republican, either he's very liberal or there aren't many Republicans in the database.

Post by: House of Mustard on September 18, 2003, 03:51:13 PM
The database only contains actual cadidates.  Since it is assumed that George W. will run for re-election, no other Republicans are declared as candidates.  John McCain is on the list, but he's now some wierd semi-Republican thing.

In addition to not including any Republican candidates, this test is pulling some pretty fishy moves. My wife marked the abortion question as highly in favor of Right to Life, and yet got a 100% match with Joe Lieberman--who by the test's own admission is highly in favor of Planned Parenthood.

There is only 1 test that i have ever done that i agreed with teh results for - its too hard to get it right i guess, since "one size fits all" is the philosphy you have to use. 3/4 the questions on that test i marked as "low interest" and 1/3 i put "undecided" so i guess that it gave me Bush by default.

I was listening to NPR the other day and they reported a shooting West Hollywood between two drug dealers.  They were both in the same little apartment in a crappy part of town at 4 in the morning when the fight started.  When it was over they were both dead and at least 96 shots had been fired (they found 96 casings in the apartment).  When the police questioned the neighbors (in the same building), they said they never heard a thing!

To do a full 50,000 words, you have to write 1667 words a day--which is actually pretty easy. A standard manuscript page has 250 words on it, so we're looking at 6-7 pages a day.

Maybe we should theme it. So we all write star trek stories or whatever.

Fuzzy!

The one-month limit is already pretty restrictive, so I see no reason to belabor the idea any further with genre, plot, or character limits. Everyone who enters writes their own novel, however they want to write it, and is not required to ever let anyone read any of it. It might be more fun to post your stuff on the site, but the other people writing their own novels probably won't have time to read it.

Because i really like lists.

Write a novella, dodo-head.

Quote

Not to TWG! Considering each days worth of writing would require 10 posts, i think any topics created would quickly get out of hand. Although you could do it anyway. Create a new section, and have topics for people to discuss their stories. Anyone fancy doing that?

But anyway, not if you do not want to. Just write it on your ownsome.

Also, I promise never to swear again.

Post by: fuzzyoctopus on November 21, 2003, 04:53:18 PM
Mechanically more efficient- but I have to say in practical application women work more effeciently because they can do 3 or 4 things at once whereas men are incapable of remembering what the 3 or 4 things they need to do ARE.

well, it was a very long game, but I remember beating it with something like 48 lives. Hardly compares to the 99 that this guy had, but still. Also, I didn't do it in 11 minutes, because I deliberately avoided the flutes...

Also, it'd take me longer to get through some of those levels. So I'm still impressed, though I admit that the tank parts were less interesting than some of the others.

MoD showed me this link. She says fuzzy put it in her journal.

http://www.yetanotherdot.com/asp/80s.html

80's lyrics quiz.
Not the best done, however. He has a couple lyrics wrong. You are punished mercilessly for typos (is it a spelling quiz or a lyric quiz?). Also, he has a blind refusal to accept that Michael Hutchins sings the same line in a particular song TWICE with one word different each time (yes, the word you're asked to fill in). Also: you get a better score if you pretend to be younger than you are, and get points for telling him where you found the link. A final complaint: you get 10 points for knowing a difficult word from a song he even admits is not from the 80s. Not the best quiz as far as a quiz goes. But a fun waste of time for sure.

I'd like to have seen some of the better alternative stuff too. I don't recall any Echo and the Bunnymen. For that matter, no Billy Joel, Duran Duran, Europe, Ramones, or the Cure. grr.... now I'm getting angry.

I got 85. i reckon once you work out typos, I got a 90 at least. Making me pretty smrt when it comes to the 80s

abbreviated, because not all of them were funny:

What NOT to do during "Return of the King."

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT
PASS!"  Bring long gray robes, a pointed hat, and a staff with a flashlight attached for extra effect.

3. After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."

7. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."

8. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs
sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

9. Talk like Gollum all through the movie.  At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.

10. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty
Python style.

15. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a
nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

18. When they go in the Paths of the Dead, wait for tense moment and
shout, "I see dead people!"

19. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda
would be like.

So today is Wright Brothers' day, at least that's what is on Google today, and I never doubt Google. Anyway, a friend of mine pointed out a very interesting thing about the brothers: these guys were WAY ahead of their time as far as fashion and modelling goes. Just check out these poses:

Whew, my cynicism in humanity is restored! Remember that awesome 11 minute Super Mario Bro. 3 video? Turns out it's not entirely legit. The guy actually played on an emulator, and saved every frame of play and used save-states to edit the thing together. The project took him 2 years to do, so he's still a nut, just a different kind of nut.

It's important to note, though, that he still actually DID everything in the video, just frame-by-frame and with insta-rewind through save-state. Here's the story:

so....he spent TWO YEARS trying to make a video that shows he's as good as possible at a game that was already TEN YEARS OLD when he started the project, for what reason? COmmunity adoration. Dollars to doughnuts, he'll be living with his parents when he's 30

Title: Re: Cool stuff found on the Internet (Take 2)
Post by: Mistress of Darkness on December 18, 2003, 02:39:20 PM
Mostly the lack of gore. The lack of repetition, and the situation. Stick fight is grown men beating on each other. That picture is a teddy bear mercilessly and repeatedly beating up a little boy. Very few people are impaled in Xiaoxiao which allows me to think they are probably just knocked out, maybe some broken bones. That boy is being pulverized. Repeatedly.
