Serious / How has Tim Berners-Lee not won a Nobel Prize?
« on: March 03, 2015, 09:34:39 AM »

This man's contribution to modern network communication vastly outweigh any other contribution to modern society that any other scientist or engineer has ever made.

If Barack Obama can win the prize for peace by making empty promises, why not Berners-Lee?
Spoiler
The answer, unfortunately, is that there really is no prize to be given in this field.

I personally support Berners-Lee recieving the Nobel Prize for Peace, but there is no prize for engineering, which is an unfortunate circumstance that has led to many great pioneers of modern society not being able to recieve this highest recognition.

I would love to hear opinions on whether or not Berners-Lee is a deserving candidate.

The Flood / Re: So this is Frieza's new form
« on: March 03, 2015, 03:41:13 AM »
They should have done this. Looks WAY more intimidating and less faggy too


Or this one even
Spoiler
I'm sorry but those both look super faggy to me.

Here's your fan fiction LC

Pretty much on the same level. The second might be passable though.
He's supposed to shed layers though, that was the point of Frieza's transformations. They were forms that repressed his powers. I like the idea of his natural form being so unadorned and ergonomic.

Cooler had one more form than Frieza and it was essentially an armored version of the final form so it looks like it fits.

I'd rather have something else though or just no new transformation altogether.
Cooler ran in the face of canon. Whoever wrote it didn't understand/didn't find it profitable to understand the transformation process of Frieza's people.

Toriyama designed Cooler.
Then he didn't find it profitable. Toriyama got told what to do a lot over the course of the original DBZ tenure. Piccolo was originally going to be Majiin, ect ect.

Brah, it's more like Toriyama doesn't give a shit. He stopped giving a shit about canon after the saiyan saga. That's why the plot is riddled with holes and inconsistencies.
Arguably he stopped caring after Goku finished training with King Kai, because even the end of the Saiyan Saga kinda felt like bullshit.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about.

He's obviously black, and he was never white, he was always blue.

Banning shitposting means that we need some sort of (specific) definition for it, lest the mods go lock/warning/ban-happy.
Oh, we all know a shitpost when we see one.

This STEM circlejerk is going to kill the demand for STEM majors in a decade or two, you know.

At least you only paid $9.
It was $300
Not what the tag says.
Not sure why that's there
That's the estimated annual operating cost.

Mine is $8

Every now and again.
I usually go during the winter to look for coats.

If they have any decent furniture it's usually a steal.

Why would a STEM person take the LSAT?
Actually, it's not uncommon for aspiring lawyers to take majors in college other than pre-law, because this means their bases are covered if they fail to get into law school, or lose interest in law.

How does it feel knowing that you score higher on the LSAT than pre-law and criminal justice majors?

Fucking non-STEM are worse at everything, even their own major fields.

He actually got you to change your avatar?
I'm disappointed.

People actually care about my avatar?
We're doing this week of the fox and bear thing. I'm not entirely sure what we're doing, but I'm rolling with it.
Change it to this.

Unless posts weren't counted.
I'm not saying spam should be allowed at all, and I really don't see what post count has to do with anything.
Shitposting for the sake of shitposting might as well be spam.
And it has the same effect.
But don't you think the Flood would be better off without it?
If you don't like it, you could just never go to that board.

It was my plan not to.

Before we introduce any themed boards, like an Anime board, or a gallery board, we need to consider something important.

The Flood is shitpost central, and it's no secret that a lot of users are turned off by that. Dank maymays and Autism® and Lᴇ Eʙɪɴ Rᴜsᴇᴍ™ threads are running rampant across the Flood and drowning out all serious discussion.

The Serious board however is meant for political threads, and current events.
The Flood needs to become a haven for casual discussion on intersting topics, I therefore propose a radical solution.

Spoiler
BAN SHITPOSTING ON THE FLOOD

"But Sol, users are always going to shitpost!"

Well, yes, that's true.
I myself am incredibly guilty of enjoying a shitpost or two.

So in addition to this proposition, I have yet another.
The creation of a shitposting board, that abides by the current rules of the Flood.
This would essentially be Sep7's version of [s4s], which moot created to clean up discussion on other boards.

It is my opinion, that the creation of such a board would vastly improve discussion value on not only the Flood, but also Gaming.

"But Sol, that's what Anarchy is for!"

This is true, our little one weekend purge is effective at keeping NSFW and user attacks down during the blunt of the month, however those unsavory activities are not the root of the problem which we are currently addressing.

Please vote accordingly with your opinion, and if you agree with me, suggest names for this new board!

I suggest:
Ryle's House
Ember's Dungeon
[s7s]
The Pit

« on: March 01, 2015, 05:52:29 AM »
This is the same company that didn't add allied Mgalekgolo and Unggoy in Halo 3 because they thought players would get confused.
I love how they purposely butcher their own games. They do stupid shit like that and they seem to forgot the Arbiter is in the game as well. It's pathetic we have no idea what he was doing outside the times where he's with us all because Bungie are lazy fucks.

They got rid of multiple campaigns- Arby and chief- in 3 because the fans hated it in H2.

I'm gla 343 is going back down tht road with Locke and Chief in H5.
You mean because a few vocal critics hated it.

The vast majority of players loved it, something 343 figured out.

Pretty much. I mean, there have been a few polls on waypoint tht have shown more people in support of newer gameplay features and the like who just don't say anything out loud, which is why sites like teambeyond basically have a grip on the way the multiplayer goes now.

Still, the a t that arbiter is becoming an essential character to te series makes me happy again. Plus his new armour looks fucking amazing.

I really hope they contract Blur to do the cutscenes for Halo 5.
I just know this much, they need to fire Certain Affinity.

All of their maps are bland, except for the remakes.

That's the one thing Bungie was outstanding at, Multiplayer design.
Designing a decent matchmaking system that didn't shove the worst maps down your throat, that's another story.

Everything changed when the Brutes took over.

But seriously, why are the sangheili even there when the jiralhanae are basically better in every way?
The Jiralhanae are a recent addition to the covenant, religious convention had been preventing their ascention.
