What's all the ruckus?Facebook is creating bad habits in me: I wanted to "like" this post-mouser (December 14, 2012, 01:19 PM)
when it comes to software, what determines if it's ready to go for a certain distro? the distro itself, or the desktop environment? I'm confused because desktop environments to me sound like they are just "skins" for the OS.It's really a mix-superboyac (October 09, 2012, 09:59 AM)
).Uhm. What about http://www.bonkersworld.net/ or smth?It does have some amusing stuff-Tuxman (October 01, 2012, 11:38 AM)

Man, I need one of those cameras.You sure have mastered the art of the duckface, though
Any idea how hard it was to snap this picture with a conventional IXUS? Also, I was all out of self-tan and eyeliner. #yolo #fml :-( (see attachment in previous post)-f0dder (September 22, 2012, 08:09 AM)
Vim can tweet.I'm OK with that, as long as it doesn't turn into Emacs-Tuxman (September 25, 2012, 05:00 PM)
Easy. Get eyeballs installed in the back of your head. Problem solved!I can easily see a bunch of situations in which those would be handy!-Renegade (September 25, 2012, 11:53 AM)
Actually, I'd say that if that post is set to public visibility (if it's an ad, probably it wouldn't make much sense not to be, right?), your friend's friends might also see it, if it was promoted. Also, if any of those other friends-of-friends like or comment the post, it'd reach their friends too and so on. So, depending on how many friends your friends have and how many of those overlap, you might actually reach a pretty large number of people.Actually, that's not that bad of a deal, if the post is commercial in nature...and you have over a million subscribers.-app103 (September 23, 2012, 09:35 AM)
It's my personal account. I ONLY friend people that I know. I have 226 friends. I do NOT friend people I don't know. Of those, probably half are inactive. Dunno exactly.
So, $10 for a personal post? Seriously? WTF?!?
But Hell yeah! If I could reach out to a million people for $10, that would be a great deal. I'm not talking about that though. $10 for probably 100 people? For a personal post? Of no commercial nature?-Renegade (September 23, 2012, 10:00 AM)
I've been wondering if it really is useful information, or just a little prank from the engineers?If it was caused by an exception, it could be a stack trace? I guess if it's encrypted, there's no way to distinguish if it's random information or not, right?-f0dder (September 22, 2012, 06:52 AM)
lol, is that posted in the wrong thread (or am I missing something?)Well, the image is from the Wikipedia page on "Tilting at Windmills". Also, it's funny how in the smaller size, I confused the horse with a dragon..-tomos (September 20, 2012, 12:09 PM)
o0, Who moved it back? lolAccording to the moderator log, it was mouser himself-Stephen66515 (September 20, 2012, 07:00 AM)
TL;DRYep, really is too long. I also haven't seen the whole thing. But if you didn't already, try zooming out to the max just to have an idea of how large it is-Tuxman (September 20, 2012, 05:48 AM)
Anyone know how it's done?I actually tried - to no avail - to get the large image from the source of the webpage. From what I understand, it's JavaScript.-tomos (September 19, 2012, 02:22 PM)
The second one isn't a hoax. Quantum levitation is real. The hoax was that the Wipeout course was computer generated and not really using quantum levitation. Or at least that's what I understood from your link.You are absolutely right. Sorry for the mix-up, I remembered seing that one of these quantum levitation videos was a hoax and assumed the whole technology didn't exist. Then the videos are really awesome!-Deozaan (September 18, 2012, 07:11 PM)
1) Laputa... The Spanish word puta means little girl. Yes, it is also being used as slang for whore, but that doesn't change the innocent original, except for the dirty-minded.I'm portuguese and no specialist in spanish, but in portuguese puta hasn't meant little girl for at least decades, it only has the curse word meaning. I believe the same is true for spanish.-Curt (September 17, 2012, 10:23 AM)
2) Pajero: "Penis"? No, it does not mean penis in any language!Nope, but it does mean homosexual (in an offensive way) in spanish, and it's also close to the portuguese "paneleiro" (which means the same). AFAIK, the Pajero does have a different name in spain: Montero.-Curt (September 17, 2012, 10:23 AM)
5) Ascona. Ascona in Switzerland is located on the shore of Lake Maggiore. The town is a popular tourist destination, and holds a yearly jazz festival, the Ascona Jazz Festival.Actually, in Portugal this car was sold as the Opel 1604, since "Ascona" has some resemblence with the portuguese curse word meaning vagina, "cona". According to wikipedia, it was sold as the Ascona in Spain, so I assume that curse word doesn't exist in spainish.
Google Spanish-English Translator has nothing to say about ascona.-Curt (September 17, 2012, 10:23 AM)
Have you tried to decode it? It looks like encoded data... could be an Easter egg...Apparently not an easter egg. It looks like base64, but doesn't decode to anything readable. More info here: http://www.cambus.ne...p-error-500-message/-wraith808 (September 18, 2012, 09:10 AM)
