4:00 PM
 
@StrixVaria I got bored of that game, hacked myself so much stuff I stopped caring
 
I need a new incremental to play.
 
@Sterno I've been trying to figure out why I have an application becoming deadlocked. It isn't going well.
 
Junction Gate was decent, but...short. And not very complex.
 
@Frank It added combat recently
 
4:00 PM
@fredley As soon as you take to the console it ruins any incremental.
 
You should go back to it
@StrixVaria Yeah. But it's the only way to escape
 
@fredley Later. Once it's complete.
 
Fixed it
 
@fredley
 
4:02 PM
@Frank Pretty sure saves are compatible
 
Dear snopes.com: can Title II cause taxation of internet service? (FALSE)
 
I don't know what Deponia is, but it's 97% off on GOG. That's a lot of % off.
 
@Sterno I'm mad enough at them
 
@Sterno Deponia is pretty fun
 
(taxation of internet service, broadly defined, independent of FCC classification, has been banned since 1998)
 
4:03 PM
@Sterno Sounds like a game where you just murder ponies. A solid concept.
 
... so, auto generated HTML is the worst, approximately this was the result:
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;">V</span></span><span style="font-size: 16px;">&oacute;&oacute;</span>
<span>r bla bla bla</span></span>
I have since replaced it with <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px;">V&oacute;&oacute;r bla bla bla</span>
 
@OrigamiRobot huh?
are you implying all dots are yellow?
 
RACIST
 
The dots in your gif are.
 
4:10 PM
OK, sure the middle one is green.
None of them are purple
 
@OrigamiRobot huh, I never said either of them were purple
 
35 mins ago, by Kevin van der Velden
I just managed to make it also no purple circles
 
I might be missing context to your replies
 
That image
Not the one with green and purple dots
 
4:11 PM
Oh, that explains everything.
 
NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE
 
I can't see that post.
 
(no it doesn't)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Now it actually makes sense
 
or does it
 
Yes
 
4:12 PM
Fairly sure it does
 
@Unionhawk I thought it was only banned at the state and local level. Though regardless, I don't think anyone hoping to get reelected would support implementing a tax like that even if they could
 
None of you make sense, and that makes sense.
 
Things that confuse @ori are the best things
 
It's incredibly hard to find information these days when googling that doesn't come from bullshit blogs
 
@Sterno Now I'm not sure, but I also don't feel like digging out the section of the law
 
4:13 PM
Apparently Winamp>Llama
 
@fredley It's not about the progress. It's about not playing it too much before it's complete and getting bored of it.
 
This was my context.
 
@Frank 'Completion' is just unlocking another few types of bees
Over the course of weeks
 
@OrigamiRobot aah. Stop ignoring people then!
 
4:14 PM
There's no new mechanics
 
Not a chance.
I'm up to 22.
 
Only 20 more!
 
Even still, I love hearing arguments that this will be "11 billion in new taxes", when that comes out to $34 per capita.
And is very probably untrue though @Sterno now makes me unsure about that.
 
Or 20 if you don't want to count the Lazer twins.
 
@OrigamiRobot I figured the context after, I just didn't know you were replying to @KevinvanderVelden, because there were no reply arrows and his post was way back above yours
 
Dudududududududududude
 
> Wings will enter beta testing for Alpha and Beta backers next Tuesday
So excite
 
@Sterno Well then, republicans, why not propose a bill to also include the prohibition of taxation of the internet broadly defined in general rather than trying to come up with a way you could garner enough support to impeach the President and overturn everything he has done.
That seems like an intelligent thing to do
@OrigamiRobot Trying to figure out the ship in the screenshot. Maybe fer de lance?
Actually, all of those look new
All right, let's break the streak of being late to this class by leaving RIGHT MEOW
 
Ooh. Sunwuko's set is getting a six piece bonus.
 
4:21 PM
@Unionhawk The one on the far right is the Fer de Lance
 
And the one in target is vulture?
Wait no
 
I can't tell what the piloted ship is or what it is targeting.
 
You're right
 
Neither look familiar.
 
Can't tell piloted ship, but it's targeting the one on the far right, which looks like fer de lance
 
4:22 PM
Oh, the far right is the targeted ship.
I thought the one directly ahead was for some reason
 
Nope
One on the left is a cobra
 
The hologram looks wrong compared to the actual ship
 
A little
 
So Cobra (maybe Sidewinder), Eagle, Fer de Lance
 
I don't think that's one of the freighters being piloted
 
4:24 PM
Piloted ship is Vulture
 
I can't tell what ship that is
Ah
The medium gunship with 2 hardpoints, iirc
or large?
 
Based on my not recognizing the hologram and eliminating the Fer de Lance
 
Who wants to see some complete fiction?
 
And it has 2 hardpoints
 
4:25 PM
@Powerlord LOLNO
To claim that 100% of people even have 3+ providers at all is dumb
 
@Unionhawk It's counting mobile connections.
 
Actually...
What the fuck
 
Are you fucking kidding
 
Non-mobile version
 
4:26 PM
Goddammit
 
@Powerlord ISPs are old hat at providing "accurate" data that shows what they want it to.
 
@Frank People are using these charts to try to say the Network Neutrality vote wasn't needed.
(Note that these charts are from the FCC's own reports.)
 
WELL FUCK PEOPLE
 
@Powerlord And how much you want to bet it comes from an ISP funded study?
...Apparently not.
 
Introducing the new White and Gold Dualshock 4 http://t.co/YK0yE4M3fJ
 
4:27 PM
This report (PDF) specifically.
@KevinvanderVelden I saw that last night.
 
ahem LEAVING RIGHT MEOW poofs
 
@Unionhawk Somebody's playing Monster Hunter.
 
@Unionhawk unpoofs
 
Good thing broadband is now defined as at least 25Mbps
Where's that bar?
 
@OrigamiRobot the lowest I can get from my ISP is 30 Mbps
 
4:37 PM
@KevinvanderVelden You obviously don't live in the US.
 
Yes, fortunately
 
In other news, I'm going to be shadowing a judge at an MtG event tomorrow.
Go me!

Q: Where are all the secrets and secret areas of Forsaken PC (1998)?

FabiánI tried to find them with google but there's no FAQ or article about them. Does anyone know all the secrets / secret areas of the game?

 
@OrigamiRobot that's pretty cool
 
cc @StrixVaria @murgatroid99
 
4:39 PM
@OrigamiRobot Are you working on becoming a judge yourself?
 
He's already great at judging
 
@murgatroid99 The intention for tomorrow is to see what it's like and go from there.
I'm quite confident in my rules knowledge, but actually judging adds in IPG infractions and all that.
Which I don't think the L1 test even goes into, but it's still part of the environment.
 
@KevinvanderVelden lol @ argument that Europe treats Internet as a utility and it's slower.
 
@Unionhawk ... what?
I don't even
 
@Unionhawk what, people are arguing that? O.o. Though the biggest reason we've got better internet then america is the fact that we have actual competition
And not just different companies run by one group of friends
 
4:45 PM
YUP
Pretty sure the second Republican commissioner said precisely that.

Q: Shadowrun: Dragonsfall - which etiquette are being used, and in what order?

ExtrakunI am playing a Samurai with high Charisma, and am trying to use much etiquette as possible. The issue is, etiquette are pretty narrow in application and in my playthrough I keep getting them in the wrong order. What I am looking for is a spoiler-free list of etiquette to pick up each time I gain...

 
I think @Unionhawk has a goal of inserting the word "Republican" into every other sentence today.
I wonder if Rebecca Black is Republican. Hrmmmmmm
 
No, like, you don't understand
Man
 
> Despite being an American, Black endorsed Mexican PRI presidential candidate Enrique Peña Nieto.
 
Wh
I can't even
 
4:48 PM
Someone versed in Mexican politics needs to let me know what that means for RB
 
What is RB's next move?
 
> Another YouTube commenter added: “Boycott Rebecca Black for backing the corrupt killer of innocents Peña Nieto. Not only [can’t] she sing, she has no brains. Boycott Rebecca Black for backing the [corrupt] killer Peña Nieto.”
This isn't looking good for her
 
Uh oh
 
What would a boycott of Rebecca Black even look like? A normal day?
 
We'd have no more Fridays or Saturdays.
 
4:50 PM
@KevinvanderVelden I don't get it
 
Yes
 
@TimStone!
did you see the screenshot?
 
Yea, it's blue and black
is the joke that PS is colorblind?
 
@Batophobia Clearly you weren't on The Bridge for the last 4 hours
 
4:52 PM
He spent the last 4 hours sampling the dress in photoshop
 
@Sterno that
 
Good morning, Bridge.
 
@Sterno I was a little procupied:
59 mins ago, by Batophobia
Then I'm not sure why anytime I click I end up at Friday
 
@OrigamiRobot I did! HYPE!
 
OK, @Unionhawk, @TimStone, @4th, I think we should all have different loadouts in our Wing. Like, @Unionhawk can be lasers, I can be cannons or w/e.
 
4:53 PM
@OrigamiRobot dibs on screaming distraction
 
@OrigamiRobot I thought he'd be in charge of explosions?
 
Does anyone ever microwave pop-tarts for only 3 seconds as the instructions say?
 
Does anyone ever microwave pop-tarts?
 
@KevinvanderVelden That makes the xkcd comic make so much more sense
 
I just microwaved a pop-tart for 4 seconds, then 4 more, then 5 more and it's still just barely warm
 
4:55 PM
...
 
@OrigamiRobot people who are too lazy to pull the toaster out of wherever it is located
 
@Chippies 1. if you microwave poptarts you need to rethink your life, and 2. it takes the microwave 3 seconds to even get going.
 
also, people who are too lazy to find where the toaster is located
 
What madness is this?
 
Does anyone ever microwave heat pop-tarts?
 
4:55 PM
Yes
 
@OrigamiRobot toasted s'mores is god damn delicious
 
user4704
I've never microwaved them.
 
@OrigamiRobot Well excuse me, I was just following instructions on the box!
 
Poptarts in a toaster are the best
 
user4704
I put them in the toaster.
 
4:56 PM
No
Put them in the freezer
 
frozen poptarts are also good.
 
Sure, depending
 
user4704
I also only like the ones that don't have icing on them.
 
Frozen chocolate related pop tarts are good
 
OK, @JoshPetrie is just a masochist.
 
4:57 PM
I usually only eat pop-tarts when wife toasts them for me, but she's not home and I'm hungry and I could only find pop-tarts
 
if it has annoying ass sprinkles that get everywhere (i think the frosted blueberry?) then yeah, no frosting pls.
 
That's amazing.
 
I can't imagine a good heated pop-tart.
 
Dude
 
In my mind, they'd either be pointlessly warm, or boiling lava hot.
 
4:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot the brown sugar and cinnamon ones are nice
 
Fruit related pop tarts are only good heated
 
wife prefers the cookie dough poptarts
 
Fruit related pop-tarts are garbage.
 
I've never had fruit poptarts
 
YOU'RE GARBAGE
 
4:58 PM
@OrigamiRobot Or it's like Hot Pockets where they're both boiling lava hot and Arctic cold.
 
i tend to prefer the fruit ones "raw", but the dessert and such variants have to be heated.
 
 
@Yuuki claps
 
I was hoping my boss would reply to my email quickly since our timekeeping is technically due at noon.
 
I mean, wrong color argument, but bravo anyway.
 
5:00 PM
@Powerlord your boss is probably busy arguing about a color of a dress on the internet
 
@Chippies Well, actually she's dealing with our TKU (Time Keeping Unit) not having some of our projects in it.
Although... there's nothing she can do about it now that she let Michelle know.
 
@Powerlord well, then maybe it's your TKU that's arguing. All I know is that someone, somewhere, somehow is arguing about the color of a dress on the internet.
 
A TKU is just an organizational unit.
 
I also just realized that TKU might be a device, rather than group of people
I won't back down from what I said, however
 
It's really just a map of employees to valid project codes
The only reason ours changed is my boss's boss changed.
I forgot to bring my reorg boots.
 
5:02 PM
 
Grab all your content in a keystroke. #WindowsTip http://t.co/W44T1qFVj6
This is literally the dumbest tip I have ever seen them post.
 
@Yuuki Why isn't that a blue shell?
 
@Powerlord Because the gif maker doesn't Kart.
 
I can see Alt+Tab, cut Ctrl+A is...
 
5:04 PM
Also, I was thinking red.
 
@Sterno This is easier.
 
I mean, the white car doesn't look it's in first place.
 
Also, it is officially sad how long I have spent determining how I pronounce about.
 
@Unionhawk On one hand, I'd like to say "You'd be surprised", but on the other hand, the people that could learn from that, probably don't follow @Windows on twitter
 
5:05 PM
Yes.
 
@JasonBerkan Just record a clip and I'll tell you.
 
@Unionhawk Ctrl+A is select all
 
@Powerlord ...
 
@OrigamiRobot My cold is so bad right now, I'm almost unintelligible.
 
@JasonBerkan then you'll have an excuse when @OrigamiRobot gives you the wrong answer
 
5:07 PM
This is just amazing - http://www.madebyevan.com/webgl-water/ - WebGL water!

Q: What Block/Item ID's are save to use for a mod?

codermasterI am making a mod for minecraft and I want to know which ID's can be used and which ones are taken by the game allready? I mean which Block/Item ID's (basically a number used to load a block in minecraft) which ID's are safe to use for my own mod?

 
@TimStone So, we're using WebGL to do things we could do in OpenGL in the late 90s?
 
Progress!
 
It amuses me that one of the packages I'm using aptitude to "manually" upgrade is unattended-upgrades
 
@TimStone Neat

Q: What color is this dress? -- And why do some see it as white and gold and others see it as black and blue?

John BerrymanHere's the dress (and keep reading, this is actually a serious question): This question about this image has apparently become quite a rapidly spreading meme on the internet. And after conducting my own little home experiment I can see why! My brother an law looked at this image on the same sc...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA‌​AA
runs out screaming
 
5:14 PM
@Unionhawk Why are you even on CogSci?
 
“What color is this dress?” Some see blue & black. Others appear to be frigging color blind. http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/9405/what-color-is-this-dress-and-why-do-some-see-it-as-white-and-gold-and-others http://t.co/PjGBJl4NE5
 
R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy.
 
:(
 
There. Now you all have something to talk about other than the dress.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz ?
 
5:16 PM
Alternately, all you illogical bastards claiming it was white and gold killed spock. I hope you're happy now.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yes, now what is lizard supposed to beat?
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Sad day :(
 
5:22 PM
Umm, ok
 
@Yuuki Charging someone with manslaughter for that seems appropriate. Fuck people, man.
 
And then she proceeded to organize a charity fundraiser for him.
 
Now I clearly see blue/black
cc @Sterno
 
@OrigamiRobot Have you been eating @spugsley's cookies?
 
Welcome to the rest of the human race
I can't get back to white/gold anymore
FU, brain
 
5:22 PM
I...
 
@Yuuki I feel like... I don't know.
 
Like before it was very light blue. I could easily understand it being white with a shadow.
 
@Unionhawk Which raised $2,300.
Her bail is $2,500.
 
Now it is very vibrantly blue
 
Yeah
 
5:23 PM
It's specious, I know.
 
> “I can’t understand why they brought the charge,” Cataldo said. “They’re trying to claim there is manslaughter, when they freely admit the boy took his own life. You can’t have it both ways.”
 
But I'll be completely disgusted if it turns out that she paid for her bail with the fundraiser money.
 
Uhh yes you can.
 
I opened that link @Unionhawk posted and it was still gold.
 
Moreso than I already am.
 
5:24 PM
Then i clicked the image and it was black
I need to go reevaluate my life now.
 
Magic!
 
@Yuuki I feel like it could possibly be rectifie-- no, wait, it cannot. People who encourage suicide and people who raise funds for suicide awareness are two mutually exclusive sets of people.
 
@Unionhawk So... you're saying she didn't encourage suicide?
@Unionhawk Also, it can be rectified by "she is a sociopath".
 
I'm saying the charity is not genuine.
 
5:28 PM
@Yuuki cool
 
Congratulations, Australia.
 
My timesheet was returned (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
 
Did you reply "No refunds, no exchanges"?
 
@Yuuki :(
 
5:31 PM
@Yuuki We were already sad about that and now you've given us a double-dose with your repost
You monster ;_;
 
Even in the star list, no excuse!
 
now my timesheet problems seem very insignificant. Mainly because they are.
 
I have no starlist!
 
@Yuuki Get a bigger monitor
Or the more starts script
 
OH MY GOD
I'M SO FUCKING DONE WITH THIS STUPID DRESS
 
5:36 PM
@Unionhawk Stop looking at stuff about it, then
I'm not sure why the internet suddenly cared about fashion anyway
 
@Unionhawk I stopped caring about it 45 seconds after I first saw it. Life moves on.
 
NO
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
We're looking at news sources in Information Ethics
AND EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE STUPID DRESS
 
The only part interesting about that dress was that a shitty picture exposed a strangeness in how our brains worked. That's it.
 
Just tell everyone about Spock and the dress will become old news quick
 
I'm about to spend $400 on LED light bulbs because they're on sale for 50% off
This doesn't seem wise.
Yet it seems wise!
 
5:38 PM
You should save that $400 for games to not play!
 
@Frank And then people figured out why some people see it differently, and now there's really no point in talking about it
 
@murgatroid99 Yep.
I'm just endlessly fascinated by things like that.
 
@Batophobia Today's university kids don't know who Picard is, let alone Spock.
 
I spent a lot of $ on Hue LED lights. Very much worth it!
 
@JasonBerkan To be fair, Spock is much more well known than any other Trek character
I'd imagine the popularity of Big Bang Theory educated a good portion of the youngin's
 
5:41 PM
True. And he was in the recent movies.
 
hey guys
 
(I mean, I'm not even old enough to have seen TOS when it was first aired. That's why I'm a Star Wars guy.)
 
guess what day it is?
 
Oh, in other news, you guys might remember that Google recently announced a new ban on adult content on Blogger. They decided not to do that
 
Friday?
 
5:43 PM
@tombull89 Hump Day?
 
@Batophobia well, you scared me witless with that ping because I forgot I had my volume turned right up
 
@tombull89 BOO!
 
We use HUE lights at work to signal our build status
 
@murgatroid99 Don't want to give up the NSFW market share to tumblr!
 
5:45 PM
I recently saw SyFy advertising them though, which seemed odd
 
I wonder if the ban would have applied to slashfic and the like
 
@RedRiderX More "There was a lot of feedback, and we decided it was a bad idea"
 
@murgatroid99 Atleast it shows they listen. Much better than, "Everyone hated the idea, but we did it anyway"
 
@JeannePindar What do you use them for?
 
@SaintWacko Apparently, Cataclysm wasn't remastered because the original source code got corrupted somehow.
 
5:48 PM
Nothing special really. I have them turn on when my phone connects to my wifi when i get home in the evening. Also sometimes I have them change to the music. There are several apps that will do that.
 
@Frank ?
 
And I can turn the lights on and off from in bed.
 
@Powerlord It's a rumor, but Cataclysm was done by a third party. And when Gearbox got the source code, it was entirely unusuable.
 
Apparently the 12 Monkeys show on SyFy can integrate with Hue for a fancy viewing experience
@JeannePindar Apparently you've never heard of The Clapper! Way cheaper!
 
@Frank The ? was because there was no context as to what Cataclysm you were talking about. I've since figure out it was Homeworld
 
5:50 PM
@Powerlord You didn't give me enough context to clarify. :P
 
There's also a Hue fireworks app that plays various fireworks sounds and makes the lights strobe in time with them. Fun if you're watching sports, you can set off fireworks when your team scores. I'd try automating this, but usually the internet feeds of scores are way delayed compared to the TV.
