Storms can kiss my ass.

Wow. Final Fantasy 3 on Stem for $16. Why?

My RAM is also clocking at ~65% it's original 'speed'.
I also have 8 cores, but I only have 4 enabled via bios.

For what purpose?
I'm tired of my corner of the world being extremely hot, yet I don't want to deal with super high-speed sounding fans. My CPU temp was ~123F before, now It's ~95F. Is pretty chill for a PC.
I'm also trying to tone down our power bill.
I hardly do any gaming on my PC at the moment, and right now it still seems to be okay with whatever I'm throwing at it in terms of programming tools and whatnot.
So why not.

Computin' like it's 2004.

I just watched Maleficent.

1) I wasn't expecting it to be bad, but I really, really liked! Just remember I'm also easily entertained.

2) I wasn't expecting to root for her so much either. Specially on the times where there should be no reason to.

3) It added Sam Riley to my list of actors I need to google as soon as the movie is over.

So yeah. I am satisfied.

I'm right in the middle of watching Her at this moment, you know, that film from late last year where a lonely dude purchases an OS that has a female personality? I was most curious, and hoped to gain some new insight into this notion of humans becoming attached to artificial forms of life since the movie is critically acclaimed.

But right now, I just feel ... conflicted? I guess? Especially after hearing Scarlett Johansson talk dirty for at least a full minute and yet not be onscreen as a human being. I feel as though I just passed some unknown stage of puberty that actually only hits adults in their twenties and thirties instead of the typical adolescence.

I don't know; I guess so far all Her does is reaffirm what I've already concluded about this kind of subject. On one hand, it's a very nice thought to see human beings function well and feel happiness with an artificial humanlike entity - even if as nothing more than a voice within a machine you use daily - if all else fails for them. But at the same time, it's a scary thought, like what ways it could eventually plunge us two-legged free-thinking mortals into ruin as a race, like becoming altogether unable to cope with each other on any level. Hell in the unforeseen future for a piece of Heaven now, perhaps.

Anyway, it's a fascinating movie thus far, if nothing else.

I couldn't find another thread to post in today but needed one more to get my first coin back, so this became the default.

I'll get back to work now.

Congrats on a HUNDRED posts!

Duel, when you going to start coming back to the Mag regularly?

I just became three decades old today! ... And I still think I need an adult.

Happy Oldman's Day!

A well-meaning person just said "God bless you, sister" to me over the Internet. .... Should I tell her I am a guy?

And on that note, do I give off a feminine vibe with my username? Be honest.

I think the reason why they called you sister was because your name starts off with Sarah. Nothing more. Didn't read the rest of the user name. If you gave off feminine vibes, it wouldn't be from your user name.

THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION!!!

Oh, you suck, Insult.


=P

People see the "Sarah" part but not the "Knight" part. Had me fooled the first time I saw your username too.

Wait... You were a guy?!?!?!?!

Such is the drawback for putting a girl's name in your username...

The best thing that has happened to me on the Internet.
