@Moon @lelouchebag @coolboymew @xianc78 there's also Hoppe's argument, that the reason democratic legislators are bad is their reduced time horizon ("higher time preference") vs. a monarchic ruler (with "lower time preference") who intends for the country to still be held by his progeny. Democratic legislators only have so much time to loot the country while they're in power, and any permanent investment in it is hard to understand as a benefit to them, and term limits would make this even worse, making their looting more intense as even an investment with a return after seven years is too far in the future for a six-year legislator to benefit from.

But, that's just an argument, and standing opposite it is Nancy Pelosi who is still not behind bars for extremely blatant insider trading.

Ada Lovelace is called the first computer programmer because she translated a paper written by one man, about another man’s work, using example programs written by that man from two years prior that she modified with a lot of his help. All of the fuss about Ada being the first programmer is about this translated paper.

Can you /pol/-tards please talk about something else for a change?

Think a lot about how r rated movies always have actors dub over profanity with FCC friendly language and I'm waiting for them to start doing this with older movies with soundalikes to remove "racist/sexist/lgbtphobic" jokes/language

@lanodan Until you realize that people who were three years old when the Wii came out are old enough to post on most imageboards. But then you also realize that the last official Wii game was released two years ago.

New malicious hardware 

A new form of malicious hardware: CPUs with circuits that won't allow it to work if moved to some other brand of computer.

Does this have an effect on software freedom? I don't see that it does, but it is nasty in any case.

@beardalaxy The only other Star Fox game I played was Command but that is a completely different beast and that game had all range battles and a turn-based strategy element. However, I was only eight when I played it and I could never beat a single level. My older brother played it the most (and he grew up with SF64).

RS was linear in terms of level progression, last time I checked. There are a few bonus missions but that's about it. I think the ability to replay missions and unlock more ships makes up for it though.

Rogue Squadron's music was awesome because Factor 5 wrote their own sound drivers for the game. They pretty much rewrote the N64s firmware which is why it is impossible to emulate that game.

And this maybe an unpopular opinion, but if Nintendo is really finding new ways to innovate the Star Fox franchise, I wouldn't mind them trying to experiment with a Rogue Squadron or Ace Combat style Star Fox game. I wouldn't think it would be too big of a departure like Command was.

Well I guess Pleroma is pretty much abandonware at this point.

Did not see that coming.

Lol, awkward :blobderpshrug:

@shebang I think it works differently than the connect. The EyeToy uses basic color detection while the Kinect uses machine learning to detect skeletal tracking. This ended up being a problem with the EyeToy because anything moving in the background will be detected and registered.

I don't know if it could be possible to use it with VR but it would have to be used in a place where it is guaranteed that nothing in the background would move.
