Prime numbers were created by the Sumerian King, Mathimondias, who is often regarded as the grandfather of math. During the time before Mathimondias, a base 2 counting system was employed which ensured equality for all numbers and allowing each number to contain factors. King Mathimondias was upset greatly by the space required to chistle numbers onto stone tablets, and […]
1) Prepare carefully Certain skills take a lot more time and resources to level up, so the enterprising dwarfist would be wise in preparing carefully. When it comes to mining, you could easily get by with one dwarf of only novice skill, as this affects only time and materials left behind, both of which are […]
North Korea, in an unprecedented act of brilliance, has decided to concede their nuclear ambitions and adopt a government that “values individual spirit, while rooted in Communist ideals” akin to that of China. Just kidding. They are acting like jackasses again. Literally a day after writing an update on their missile/satellite ambitions, it has been […]
Kim Jong Un and by extension, North Korea, have one again demonstrated that no degree of food aid will deter them from being compete idiots. North Korea operates exactly like a spoiled child who has been conditioned to act out to get what they want, and it appears that they want food again. They have […]
Many years ago in a time when computers displayed only text, a game called Rogue emerged. Rogue was a game where bored UNIX sysadmins would pass the time and look busy in the eyes of non-technical managers. The game itself involved randomly generated adventures in shit graphics with permadeath, and has since spawned hundreds of […]
“Someone hacked my E-mail and put viruses on my computer”. What I say: “Oh dear!” What I think: “I’ve warned you over a dozen times to check the URL of a site before you blindly enter your information. You weren’t hacked. Also, stop clicking every flashing link on those sketchy porn sites and installing the […]
The internet doesn’t make a lot of sense. Google decides to show me some love for a horribly written piece of the Raspberry Pi, and now I fear that the vast number of visitors (mainly British) who were looking for information on the Raspberry Pi, but instead received poorly written dry humor. This may be […]
The videogame that many people associate as being the “first” would have to be Pong. For all of the Conners, Dakotas, Brentleys, and Kaydens that were born in the 1990s and have no idea what Pong is, it’s a game where two rectangles are denying ownership of a square. Atari released their 2600 console and […]
Raspberry Pi is the poorly named tiny computer being produced for poor people to allow them to have a computer. Originally marketed as the Raspberry Pie, the extra ‘e’ was dropped in favor of the American spelling as well as to cut costs. It was a direct result of the One Laptop Per Child foundation’s […]
The sheer number of convenience stores that blanket Tokyo and oversaturate the market is an interesting topic in itself. Since Family-Mart bought out AM/PM, it has become the largest chain by far, and comically has locations that face each other from opposite sides of the street. At the station nearest my workplace, there are 3 […]
