Alien Arcana posted:I understand everything else about this story, but how was it that the MMO's owners lost money? I mean, as I understand it the plexes are 'game time in a can' that let you trade money for X weeks of subscription. Doesn't that mean that CCP had already been paid for those plexes? The MMO owners didn't lose money. CCP just got money for no service rendered.

I tried to figure this out too, but it's just that the phrase is ambiguous, he meant "had spent" as in somebody else spent that money in CCP's game.

Sorry I wrote that after a test after an all night cram session. I just got a nap and a better wording would have been "That's 1200 dollars someone paid CCP for the privilege of watching someone else blow it up live over the internet" or something. It's the only game out there you can pointlessly throw money into like that. Also from the Reddit thread again! TheSpiritFox has a new favorite as of 23:11 on Nov 22, 2013 |

Farecoal posted:It's a weak piece of crap with voice controls that don't work about 50% of the time, a useless but mandatory Kinect camera that makes it cost $100 more than it's more powerful competitor, a confusing and awkward UI, stereo sound only, a massive Day One update required to remove all the DRM stuff, a controller that cost $100 million dollars to make worse than the 360's, makes the image quality of whatever cable box or other media equipment you plug into it worse, doesn't even act as a DVR, has lovely launch titles that cost $60 and yet have "micro"transactions, and can barely display games at 900p resolution without chugging framerate wise. Could you expand on more of the things wrong with the Xbox One, as I've no really been following the thread at all.

LeJackal posted:So pretty much all MMA fights. I never understood why MMA became more popular than k1. Ive only watched a few bouts of each but as far as I remember in K1 you can only stike 3 times on the ground. Submission holds are still possible but they have to be done quickly. K1 is so much more fluid with lots more striking. I could be dreaming all this, as I said I've only seen a few bouts of each. MMA is bloody tedious most of time.

Quick boxing question. That guy's arm looks like it was almost fully extended when he made contact with the other guy's face. Is that what you want, ideally, to hit the guy at the outer limits of your reach?

Ali's jab was fantastic, Frasier's left hook was brutal, Tyson's right uppercut finished fights in the first round.

So people started doxxing the predditors, the pics and comments to their bosses, or in some cases, to the police. http://jezebel.com/5949379/naming-names-is-this-the-solution-to-combat-reddits-creepshots the meltdowns were amazing.

My coworker's son has been having a fit that he's not getting an Xbone on launch day, which is also his 18th birthday (he neglected to reserve it). I've been hearing about his drat XBox for weeks now, and I knew it was overhyped, but I had no idea it was so ridiculously terrible. Teenage boys freaking out about consoles, man.

TheSpiritFox posted:Capacitor The bigger ones (about the size of a computer case) are used to help with voltage regulation on power lines (helps boost the voltage a bit on long runs) as well as power factor correction. These can operate into the tens of thousands of volts, hundreds of thousands of volts when connected together in series/parallel. You always short the two terminals on a large capacitor like that with a piece of wire because not only does that demonstrate the cap is safe, but the caps can actually build up a potentially dangerous charge on their own over time, even if they aren't energized.

It's funny because he should probably have just stuck to cat subreddits instead of spewing his latent creepo tendencies all over the site. Oh, and on the original Gawker article, some choice schadenfreude comments: quote:I have no problem in you posting anything to stop the horrible subreddits that exist. I have no problem in you bringing attention to horrible things, like r/creepshots or r/jailbait. quote:Gawker opposed this guy's right to free speech, using what he posted anonymously to get him fired and ruin his life. quote:Mr Adrian, keep in mind that posting this article will have real world repercussions on that man. If he really cracks and gets a gun, who know what might happen. He might as well take his life and you'll have that in your track record. You can do in fact kill a person with words. quote:I think that the country was built on free speech and internet anonymity is it's partner. The man should be left alone. Anyone here in America can say anything they like and voice whatever opinion they have, regardless of it's popularity. And nobody should try to censor that. Certainly not by outing someone. Absolutely horrible. I'm guessing it'll prove to be one of those moves that gives you instant gratification but much future regret. And the whole post has a ring of jealousy to it, as if you're upset that he's more known on the web than you. This isn't what America is all about, and in some neighborhoods there are serious penalties for this kind of bullshit.  was truly the greatest emot to ever bless this website

I never really understood the whole "it's his freedom of speech to be a pedo" argument. Even if it were the case, it would then be just as much a freedom of speech for someone else to out him for his shittiness.
