NES Video Game Cartrage Durability – SOOOO much better than CDs

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:21:30 +0000

Through an awesome series of, not recommended, experiments, we see NES cartridges can take a massive amount of abuse before they have any problems. Why is everything on CDs now? they are so much less durable because of heat, scratches, microwaves.. lol. I know cds hold lots more data, but really we could make games on just as durable solid state hard drives for maybe a slightly higher cost, but them how would game companies make more money off selling you multiple copies of the same game cause your cat bit one?

The Known Universe – now in convenient video form to entertain you.
…and you thought you were important. hahahah.

More videos on the awesome universe you live in.. if you want to feel even more insignificant…

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

Multiply with lines – cool technique

Multiply with lines – super cool math technique by Alex Bellos:

So it’s kind of a strange way to multiply and would get real annoying if you have really big numbers to multiply, but non-the-less an amusement for the three minutes that you’ll remember it.

I’M ON A BOAT!

The boat I want to be on!

Everyone wants to be on a boat, relaxing, enjoying the sun and freedom of the open waters. Fortunately, thanks to SNL and T-pain, we now have a theme song for that desire! The boat in the music video is more what I would call a yacht or ship, but I guess it wouldn’t work as well for the song.

Some lyrics from the new “I’m on a boat” off the Lonely Island CD.

“Take a picture trick, I’m on a boat bitch,
Drinkin’ Santana Champ’ cause it’s so crisp,
I got my swim trunks, and my flippy-floppys
I’m flippin’ burgers, you at Kinkos straight flippin’ copies.”
