Wainy days. Very cool videos

damn whales

chek this shit out.

Now this will shut those tree hugger up!

SSC is coming out with a new hybrid supercar (lol toyota) that features a breakthrough drive train that will- get this - require charging only every couple of years. You might literally forget where the refilling station is.

Now you can easily pass this off as fluff, especially because this manufacturer is not known in the mainstream, but they make good supercars from 1337 engineering skillz.
Whether they come out with a car that actually does exactly what they say it would, doesn't concern me too much.
The fact that a company that has been so stubbornly private-owned, has opened itself up to very selective exterior capital funding just so that it could come up with this drivetrain and put itself on the line just for this car makes it all that much more probable.

Really, if they fail at making this drive train, or just don't attempt to make it, they're going to disappear either way

Time to rewatch Aliens 2 and The terminator series

The sensitivity to strength switch is just stunning.
Scalability, upgradeability is stunning.

Remember T9? that was so pre-touchscreen

Inventor of T9 comes up with new text input method. - The main itch in smaller devices.
Here is a feature list.

here is IBM's research on the same

Expanding:

The following factors make shape writing particularly powerful.

Efficiency: Rather than articulating one letter at a time (longhand), shape writing allows the user to write word level sokgraphs ­ a form of shorthand.

Human sensitivity to geometric patterns: A person’s ability to recognize, memorize and draw patterns is remarkable. Shape writing capitalizes on this remarkable human capability. Drawing patterns with a stylus is fluid, dexterous and fun.

Intelligent pattern recognition: ShapeWriter is "intelligent". The number of legitimate words (ranging from thousands to tens of thousands in a lexicon) is only a fraction of the number of all letter permutations (tens of millions). ShapeWriter takes advantage of the regularities of words formation and recognizes user's ink trace on keyboard with maximum flexibility and error tolerance. An intended word can still be recognized although irrelevant letters between intended letters are crossed or even if some of the letters in a word are missed in the stylus trace.

Ease of learning: Shape writing bridges initial ease of use with eventual high performance by embedding learning in use. In psychology terms, for initial ease of use, the user interface needs to be recognition-based – action by visual guidance. To reach high performance, however, the user interface should support recall-based skills. In shape writing, these two modes are gradually connected. One shifts from recognition to recall over time. The graphical keyboard serves as a visual map and a training wheel from careful visual tracing towards a fluid form of shorthand writing.

Ease of error correction: Underneath each word in ShapeWriter's text stream editor is a list of probable alternative words that can be selected with one additional pen stroke. One can also delete or insert words anywhere in the text stream editor.

Work put into f1

better with videos i say:

When onboard video technology was still in its infancy: Senna at monaco. Makes for a more immersive view of speed.

Telemarketers!

Its hard to come up with ways to deal with telemarketers. It takes a lot more creative dedication to make fun of this sorry lot. But one man, has taken it upon himself to mess with these genetic retards!
I've seen many prank calls on telemarketers, i've seen many pranksters fail. But Tom Mabe manages to pull it off. Very well indeed.
Tom Mabe is awesome

Indy Jonesy and The crystal balls.

Pictures:
1. Thats the amazingly evil bad person.
2. What amazing stunts. really.
3.You see those two guys with AUTOMATIC rifles (actually three in jeep)? Thats about a couple of feet away from his balls. Three guns and they miss, not just Indiana jones, but nobody gets shot. beauty



When i saw the trailer for the new movie, i naively had hope, that maybe Spielberg and Lucas, with all that time and money on their hands, along with the massive investments they've made on their new graphics studios will come up with something current, something that shares traits with the originals while still being progressive.

The movie turns out to be a ridiculous excuse for an adventure movie, with some very soft russian soldiers, who can empty a whole cartridge at point blank range and yet somehow manage to miss a very slow moving 80 year old fart.
They had riddles in the fucking movie! clues! and not of 'da vinci code' caliber even - think blue's clues. How can you get enough of the elaborately setup moving doors and traps deep in the middle of ruins, cheaply ornamented and eventually and always destroyed with these idiots sadly getting out just in the nick of time ?

How about a five minute long sword fighting scene on a fucking car when they have a gun holstered safely in the back? Does that lick your fancy? Then you will enjoy the pause in each fight scene long enough for the old man to catch his breath and throw out an awesome smart ass comment, before he ends that kindly soldiers life.
A few other things:
How can someone survive a nuclear blast in a fucking fridge?
How can anyone survive a car landing on their head?
How can you fall off THREE massive waterfalls in a car and not break something or get sucked in the torrent?
I guess waterfalls are gentle wonders of nature that gently carry you to the surface and to the bank.
More importantly, how can someone swing across banyan tree branches when the branches are hanging VERTICALLY?! Think about the physics of that.
Oh and the end of the movie! a fucking alien forms together and the entire city becomes a space ship and flies away. Next scene: Jonesy breaks the plot down for the audience in one sentence. And then the end. Not even fucking kidding.

How hard can it be to make a classic movie series cool and current? Watch batman begins and compare it to the old movies you'll see what i mean. If they can do it, i'm sure stevie and georgie can manage it. Or maybe they're getting too old. Dicks.

Stephen colbert, and insight.

If you have a penis, watch this movie, if you don't watch it anyway

This is the manliest man movie ever man-made.

The plot sets up this movie to be a one and a half hour fun ride like no other.

Hell's Yeah! This shit might just be back!

Oh Hi!
