Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I thought this was why kittens die.
Have a "migraine" or a bad case of "food poisoning."
get a "phone call" from your "landlord" that said a "pipe burst" in your "apartment" and you need to go home to "move your couch."
Tell your boss that he is *many bubbles* and not being *go-go* with the *dancing* is making you *frumple*
if its so expensive why dont they just pay a little more
if its overloaded why dont they get sturdier computers
alas no amount of walking can lose me sixty lbs in six days

PSN/XBL: Zampanov -- Steam: Zampanov

I have 30 minutes of lunch and have to report all doctor visits during work time to my boss. I don't have a girlfiend either. I mean, I never leave the office during lunch break. If I would someone is gonna ask why I did and if it's one of the few people I actually like I'd hate having to lie to them. I mean, I can say I went for a stroll or whatever, but it'd still raise suspicion and I'd have to maintain the lie and describe the benefits of it in detail.
Also, it's freezing outside, I don't even want to leave the building.
I mean, this is basically the state of paranoia I'm constantly in, no matter what I do I fear someone is going to find out and report on it. They're running this place a bit like Eastern Germany with people being pushed to report on their co-workers' mistakes and HSE violations all the time. They've already fired someone for being too actively looking for a new job during work. I don't want to be next.

Man who wants to create a computer made to work like a brain? Brains suck that's why so many people are idiots.
He means expensive in terms of resource use, and I don't think you appreciate just how much work the forums likely are for the powers that be.
Yessssssssss.
My character in Dark Heresy (Nico) is basically a spy, one of his personas is Comissar Albert Hoss. It's a fun character for me, though Nico feels terribly guilty about the things he has to do as the Comissar.
Just get sick halfway through the day. Make retching noises in the men's room if you have to.
Man the last thing PA needs is MORE assholes who have entitlement issues.
Feral is such a *Happy Camper*

They actually took a bread knife out of our mini-kitchen because it was deemed too dangerous*.
*I am absolutely not joking about this. A dude was cutting a orange in half with the big knife because the small knife was dirty and the office manager came in, reacted shocked to seeing him cut an orange in half and next break the knife was gone.
if it uses lots of resources why don't they open a mine or something
and get some more resources
No, that's just skin cancer.
not really how its panned out on the Something Awful forums.
The Goons are the most well organized group outside of 4chan.

dude should have cut his next orange with

That actually is pretty reasonable. If Dickface McCoworker cuts himself using a knife in the company canteen, he could conceivably sue the shit out of the company.

That cat is so cute.
This probably makes me strange. I'm ok with that.
Their idea being if we just attain enough computational power, we will cross a threshold, a "mind" will awaken, and the "mind" will become self aware and be able to perceive and react to the world.
Their logic goes thusly: humans are comprised of matter. Therefore, the human mind is produced by the human brain, which is matter. Since computers are also matter, it is then possible to create a computer mind.
This logic misses what should be a completely obvious point: a human being is a living, breathing organism that has self-locomotion, sensory organs, and an ability to interact with its environment. Our intelligence comes from the interaction of our bodies (including our brains) and the environment we live in. A human who could not walk, could not talk, and was locked in a closet for 60 years would be socially and intellectually severely retarded. In order for any given computer to have "our" kind of intelligence, it would have to resemble us not only in its neural architecture, but in its bodily and sensory architecture. In order for a given computer to be as "smart" (where smart is defined as our specific kind of intelligence) as a given human, it would have to resemble a human almost exactly.
i ask to see an m and p compact
him: well do you know how striker fired guns work
me: yes
him: instead of a striker gun i recommend a glock or HK
me: ...
then he kept sweeping me with the muzzle
then i go: may i test the trigger
and he's like SURE THEY CAN TAKE PLENTY OF PUNISHMENT
and i'm like, yeah most all modern pistols can, but i always figure it's polite to ask since it's not my property
and he goes BE SURE NOT TO DO IT WITH [he lists three gun models that are perfectly fine to dry fire]
me: ok
sigh
Because of the stalagmen and deep crows.
I did not think pugs could look uglier. I was wrong.

Yes, there are several sub-boards
