@GodEmperorDune Sorry, I will be slower next time ;)

GodEmperorDune

and software rec instead of game dev, but i guess both fit

user15026

@GodEmperorDune It would likely be too broad there as well

user15026

Or do you mean close reason, not site?

GodEmperorDune

@Ash i just now realized that two of our close reasons are also sites

now we just need piracy.se and ITG.se to complete the set

off to area 51

@Ash and yeah i meant close reason, not site

Did anyone on here get a chance to play the MMORPG that 38 Studios was developing before it went under?

nope

dont remember playing it

user15026

Started reading a bio of Bill Gates that sounded really good but it's so over the top silly praising that it's not interesting.

user15026

I've not abandoned a book in a while, but this is basically "OMG HE IS PERFECT AND MAGIC AND SO AWESOME" which gets old after like 10 pages

GodEmperorDune

@Ash the isaacson bio of steve jobs was pretty good

user15026

11:12 PM

@GodEmperorDune I've not read that. I should.

user15026

I love computer history stuff but this was just so...flamboyant and bombastic in its praise of Microsoft and everything Bill Gates that after 40 pages I was like "okay I get it I am bored"

GodEmperorDune

isaacson does a good job of showing where steve jobs done goofd

particularly with the health problems near the end

user15026

Ah, see, I like the idea of that - this book is too much "HE REVOLUTIONIZED EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING WAS MAGIC"

user15026

Which, okay, yes, but man. Enough.

Dragonrage

didn't he offer to sell off to ibm or something?

Q: Hacker Experience I recently just got added to Safenet's list, is my IP on a text file on their server?

I recently got added to Safenet's list after deleting a file for a mission. I know you only stay on the list for and hour, but I also heard there is a .txt file on the Safenet server containing the full IP of everyone on the front page. Is this true? P.S. I can't do an IP reset for a while so I'...

hacker-experience

GodEmperorDune

@Dragonrage he brought the pepsi exec in as his second in command, basically destroyed that relationship, told the board it was the pepsi exec or him and they picked the pepsi exec

also he did something where several of the initial people didn't get their shares

woz felt bad and gave those guys some of his

user15026

Woz's book, iWoz is pretty good. It's a lot of fun.

arda

@Ash will check out

GodEmperorDune

@arda what, you're not going to read the "everything bill gates does is great" book?

arda

@GodEmperorDune I wrote that book.

GodEmperorDune

11:21 PM

@arda well played

arda

Also I watched last 5 except last Steven just a min ago. Kiki one and the centipede one was nice

user15026

amazon.ca/Hackers-Heroes-Computer-Revolution-Anniversary/dp/…

user15026

This is an AMAZINGLY good computer history book

user15026

(Then again a lot of Steven Levy's stuff is super good)

user15026

@arda I should watch the new SU stuff.

GodEmperorDune

11:23 PM

> Language:Chinese

arda

Man amazon needs to support Turkey already

GodEmperorDune

@arda if erdo lets them

arda

I don't want Turkish books, I just want to be actually able to help authors.

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Goodreads failed me :P (I used their amazon.ca link)

arda

I can buy physical books, but not ebooks.

user15026

11:25 PM

I only have Hackers in physical format, I think.

arda

And shipping of physical ones would be probably high

GodEmperorDune

@Ash it might be the onebox, the page looks normal

user15026

I do have a pretty decent e-book collection. I should sort it at some point and put it all together.

arda

I like physical books more, but ebooks are just cheaper, easier to carry and easy to read in dark.

user15026

I used to love physical books more but my ereader has really changed my views on it

user15026

11:26 PM

I am trying to purge stuff because I hate how crowded my house is with stuff.

GodEmperorDune

kids these days, we used to have to smuggle a flashlight under the covers to read a book in the dark

user15026

I might have to go on a book-selling mission soon.

arda

@GodEmperorDune me 8 years ago.

GodEmperorDune

@arda me 20 years ago

arda

Also thinking about it, time does fly.

Every notable thing (I have a list of that.) I did was in last 2-4 years.

And I remember all of it like yesterday

user15026

11:29 PM

My memory is not that good

Dragonrage

i can remember things from when i was 4 like they were yesterday

that was a while ago

user15026

Not me. I can remember things that have a lot of emotional pull to them but other than that it's gone

GodEmperorDune

@Ash yeah that's how i remember things too

user15026

(Running family story is the sheer number of times I have picked out gifts for myself, and then forgotten and get all super delighted and surprised when family gifts me the things I picked out a month or whatever prior)

arda

I have one single memory from back I was 2.

GodEmperorDune

11:31 PM

except for all the weird minutia that is locked away in there forever

Dragonrage

i only remember 2 things from that early. then i remember quite a few things off and on through elementary school and it starts getting sharper into middle school and later

arda

Which is a pretty bad one. (dad yelling because I'm on his couch)

GodEmperorDune

like the names of every character in every frame of the original star wars trilogy

arda

@GodEmperorDune even the extras?

GodEmperorDune

@arda yikes

@arda names of the actors? nah. the characters? yep

arda

11:33 PM

@GodEmperorDune oh

user15026

I remember a lot of stuff from books I've read

Dragonrage

i can remember exactly what people looked like in elementary school

user15026

Oh man I am rotten at faces

arda

@GodEmperorDune I can't remember the name of this one, can you help me remember it?

Dragonrage

faces i can do

names i cannot

user15026

11:35 PM

What people look like doesn't stick with me at all

arda

GodEmperorDune

@arda original trilogy brotendo

arda

@Ash same here.

SaintWacko

@Ash That's what I really like about using FBReader on my phone. It loads ebooks into an OPDS library which automatically categorizes them

Makes it way easier

Dragonrage

i also have a hard time rereading books because i have the plot memorized

user15026

11:36 PM

@SaintWacko Some of my stuff is in calibre, some of it is just in a random downloads thing, some of it is just on my ereader (because Kobo is evil and I can download books at 2 am when I have a need)

GodEmperorDune

@Ash yeah if i don't work with someone daily, there is very little chance i will be able to put a name with the face

its probably why my headcanons are so bad

SaintWacko

@Ash Ah, calibre is great

user15026

@SaintWacko I love it.

Dragonrage

hmm, im almost out of votes again

arda

@GodEmperorDune I even hardly remember people I worked with for months. (after a few months ofc)

user15026

11:37 PM

Even if I had all the files sorted and in one directory somewhere, that might help.

GodEmperorDune

also @arda you should check out the HAL9000 fan edits of the prequels

SaintWacko

@Ash I don't really use it anymore, now that FBReader has its own library thing, but I used to use it to sort and categorize my books, then I had a little program that created an OPDS catalog from the Calibre library

arda

@Ash do they all have same extension?

@GodEmperorDune will do

GodEmperorDune

@arda i'll ping you the link on steam when i get a chance

i have it somewhere at home

Q: How does the passive item Unity add damage from your other guns?

The passive item Unity supposedly adds 2% of the damage of every other gun you're carrying to your currently equipped gun. How does it handle things like shotguns (which have multiple bullets that consist of most of their damage), charged weapons (which have different damage ratings), or explosi...

Also in which order should I read Weber books?

@GodEmperorDune thanks. Don't rush, I'm not back to Ankara until Sunday

GodEmperorDune

@arda has the craziness died down?

arda

@GodEmperorDune no

GodEmperorDune

:(

arda

Watched a video of a guy screaming "15TH OF JULY WAS A DREAM. It felt like a dream. We have bills to pay. How can our children shoot at us? Gas bills, electric bills, we pay all the bills they make us pay and they eat Turkey from inside? EXECUTE. EXECUTE. EXECUTE THEM." just today

user15026

@arda yeah, they're all epubs

GodEmperorDune

11:44 PM

@arda oh shit :(

user15026

@arda That's horrifying :(

arda

@GodEmperorDune it's fun until you realize this guy can vote
