"„PureMeal” mechanism is a transmitter of electromagnetic emission. Device woks by means of unique food decontamination method of bio-resonance effects. Methods of disinfection with the device - is the elimination of harmful effects of chemicals and biological contaminants. It can prevent infections which usually comes with food and water, moreover it helps to avoid various diseases." Hmm, it has bio-resonance effects. It must be legit!

Also maybe if you didn't want "uninwhited guests" in your food you should stop letting your 8-year-old sit on the loving bench during food preparation, you loving animals.

The MSJ posted:Make it the Doobie thread. Our story begins with a dream of one man to make the world around him better, too feed those who hunger (for hot dogs), to quench the thirst of those who are parched (with ice-cold cola). This is a story of love, betrayal, money, and more betrayal. This is a story of a dream turned into a nightmare. A story of oobi ogs.

pathetic little tramp posted:Why is the paperback more expensive than the hardcover. Also why is someone writing a book about something that happened in a video game. Lowtax should get in on this poo poo if there are nerds who are depressingly worthless enough that they would read this. It says 'Mittani Media' - isn't The Mittani an EVE goon? (I spend more time looking at EVE threads on the forums than I ever did playing the game, it's more entertaining.)

I'm pretty sure those cats are only "listening" to the purring noises that were thrown into the music, if anything at all. Don't forget the monkey music either. I wonder if this guy even understands actual music, never mind "animal music".

I don't know if the music in video was actual cat music, but real life cats didn't react to it at all.

Even Tom Clancy supposedly based The Hunt For Red October off of a tabletop wargaming campaign he played.

Several Vin Diesel movies were based on his D&D character and campaigns. The Last Witch Hunter being the most obvious one.

Yeah, the chronicles of riddick was born out of the D&D campaign he played after being riddick in pitch black. Which is why the whole thing is so ridiculous, and amazing. I don't even like D&D, but I'd play it with Vin Diesel.

Some kind of... magic usb drive.quote:Leaf includes a patent-pending device which intelligently morphs into a random access memory chip using a computer's USB port. This device works on 2.0, 3.0, or higher port values for the purpose of adding additional RAM to an existing computer's bus. Leaf plugs directly into your USB port to not only improve the speed of the computer but also consolidate system processing to the device, thereby freeing on board RAM for secondary processing. Pretty good deal for a $10k goal!

As someone who knows nothing about computers, is what they’re saying impossible? Aka a RAM stick that plugs into USB. It sounds like something that makes sense at a very, very surface level, but I assume it’s not that easy or it would have been done by now. Or is it possible, but the difference is so unnoticeable that it’s pointless to do so?

Windows Vista could use a USB key to speed up booting or something like that because mechanical drives are super slow, but now you can get a decent SSD for $90 to put your OS and common programs on and if you don't you're a straight dummy so that feature has lost any usefulness it had. No, it's not possible because USB is orders of magnitude too slow in every conceivable way. This is the modern equivalent of those boxes they had in EB and poo poo that said they "doubled your system ram." Anyway 16 gigs of ram is what $100 now, and that's more than enough for practically anything.

It sounds like something that makes sense at a very, very surface level, but I assume it’s not that easy or it would have been done by now. It's been done by now. It's entirely standard. Using flash storage as virtual ram/swapfile/cache is way faster than using conventional hard drive storage for that purpose, and modern OSes have been supporting this on the fly for years; MS started officially supporting it in Vista. Problem is, it makes less and less difference the more real RAM you have, and it provides no benefit whatsoever if you're using a solid-state hard drive. This is the computer equivalent of doing a kickstarter for this cool new invention you've come up with called a "knife."
