  1. One of my favorite things to do!!!

     

    Every B-day I get a 3-way!

     

     

    So I'm guessing I've had about 5 in 5 years. :1st:

    Does that mean 2 guys and 1 chick or 2 chicks and 1 guy? :lol:

     

    Always 2 chicks 1 guy, Gotta explore on my bday! Just imagine how many girls I'll have on my Dirty 30 Bday! :o

    If this is legit... how do you find a different girl every year and one willing to explore with a married couple?

  2. And i know i sound arrogant, i tried not to be I really did.

    I beleive there are two types of peer bonding "social" = what we are told is right and "nature" what that does is the one that fucks us all up and we end up in jail.

    Of course. That is spot on. We have our nature brain given to us by our ancestors. And we got our conscious "do what is right" brain. Problem is... some people got a rampant nature brain and no control from their conscious. These are the ones that fuck around and screw people over time and time again.

  3. Hmm... try using a different browser on your cell... or if your browser has an option to act as a "Desktop" instead of a "Mobile" device... that might do the trick!

     

    On the Win7 cell you only get Internet Explorer #(Something) and it's always set to Desktop Mode, Came that way out the box. I have noticed alot of regular sites like the one I get my anime from no longer works either. After the last update on it ALOT of programs look and act different, like my radio no longer has a record function. On my old palm pre (Yes I have 2 cells) it loads up perfect, but its really tiny screen. I guess when I'm out this summer I'll need to be near a laptop and tether my cell to it.

    It's quite strange. I would try googling the matter to see if anyone found a fix. I'll talk to Miskie about it soon too. If I had to make a last guess, it seems your phone is accessing a non-existent domain on the server. Since that screen you see is definitely being spit out from the 1Emulation server, as I have seen it many times before during server maintenance.

  4. 9th - 10th grade I was still hanging with the crowd of black kids, and then somewhere in the middle of tenth grade, I started dressing differently and then started talking to pretty much anyone, especially the teachers. I was just the black kid who always wore sweat pants and a hoodie, and could sit next to just about anyone at lunch and not get awkward looks. Everyone in Highschool is potentionally a douchebag anyway, back when I didn't know how to talk to douchebags.

    Sounds a lot like my high school experience... 9th grade: stuck with the reject crowd of nerds... 10th grade: open to the whole world, talking to everybody, and respected by everyone. Wasn't magic though.. had to change my "perceived appearance" to people, and luckily... people forget quite quickly in high school who you "were"! :)

     

    Most of my classmates were douchebags... I built a good tolerance for it though. Insults would be sent my way and I would reply back with my own. And it seems when we got older (probably around senior year) that people started mellowing out.

  5. Relationships and marriage are very important to me. I feel that only when I've been in enough relationships... that I will be ready for marriage. I see it like body building -- building a relationship can be utterly painful, as you have to push yourself through unnecessary leaps and bounds. But once you're in, it's easy... and then going out is hard. You have to build an emotional tolerance. It's something many men and women can't deal with, and as a result, they marry too early, which leads to high divorce rates.

     

    There are so many different types of women, different personalities, interests, etc. I need to fully understand and experience them. When it seems that the experiences have been "enough"... I will gather the knowledge I have acquired and know what to look for in a woman to be my wife.

  6. Sounds like that scene from Mission Impossible 4 brought into reality...

    When the Xbox Kinect came out in 2010' date=' most people drooled over its ability to read gesture-based commands.

    Matterport founder Matt Bell, however, was more excited about the prospect of low-cost, high-quality 3D imaging.

    As a co-founder of a company that makes gesture-based interactive display advertising (such as virtual soccer balls that can be controlled by a kick), Bell spotted an opportunity to create a new visual technology.

     

    He ended up using Kinect to make Matterport, a handheld device that instantly creates 3D renderings of any space.

    Seconds after pointing the device around a room, you can browse a 3D replica on your laptop.

    Here’s the simplified version of how it works: The Kinect creates millions of individual images as it scans the room. Bell’s software stitches those photos together in real-time in order to create one 3D mesh image that can be tilted, rotated and annotated.

    “You can think of it as a giant 3D jigsaw puzzle with millions of pieces that needs to be solved in real time,” Bell tells Mashable.

    He pitched his latest protoype, which no longer includes an actual Kinect, at startup accelerator Y-Combinator’s demo day last month

    Matterport is targeting its device toward real-estate agents, architects, engineers of special effects for movies and other people who work with space. Currently these professionals rely on either measuring tape and photographs or 3D mapping tools that don’t publish their prices.

     

    Tony Grissim, the public safety and forensic account manager of a company that makes one such tool, Leica Geosystems, said its prices start at $50,000.

     

    The device’s accuracy is within 1-quarter of an inch and it has a range of up to 900 feet. Matterport, meanwhile, has a range of about 15 feet and accuracy that varies with distance. He cautions that comparing Leica Geosystem’s products with Matterport might be comparing apples and oranges.

     

    While Matterport hasn’t set a price for the product, it will begin distributing to beta testers next month. Bell says it won’t be prohibitive to consumer 3D enthusiasts.

     

    Several of them have already answered the question “What would you scan?” on Matterport’s website in ways the company never anticipated.

     

    One family, for instance, wants to capture a 3D image of the houseboat it is moving from so that a young child will remember it. Employees from the USDA want to use Matterport to calculate the square footage of leaves on a plant without cutting them off.

    “The power of being able to send 3D realities to each other is going to fundamentally change how we communicate,” Bell says.

    Anyone have an update on the invisibility cloak? :o

  7. Disappointing Wrestlemania...

     

    Thoughts on some matches:

     

    Undertaker vs. HHH -- Very good match... Shawn Michaels played a great part in it. However, thought the amount of chair shots were unnecessary... almost felt like I was playing a video game. HHH needs to relearn how to properly cut himself.

     

    Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk -- Really thought Jericho deserved the win, but I am obviously speaking with a strong bias (hell, see my avatar). Other than that, the match I felt could have been better. Seems like CM Punk suffered a concussion with the instant replay of his head snapping back on the mat. Ouch.

     

    The Rock vs. John Cena -- Overall, thought the match sucked. Felt like I was watching Jericho and Punk again, but instead of Jericho trying to attack Punk's spine/back the entire match, Cena was taking Rock's air with a billion bear hugs. Stupid re-done ring psychology. Rock seemed incredibly slow midway and throughout the match. They really should have rehearsed this match better. Finish was alright... but is that the best they could come up with in 1 year?

  8. It's funny... I realized today it was March 31st and remembered the good times we had in the past with pranks we pulled. If I recall we pissed off a DS Developer who listed 1Emulation.com on a resume he had sent that day --- same day that we were briefly 1PornNation. Good times. Maybe I'l think of something this year... :-D

     

    EDIT: Anyone see Reddit's Time Machine? It's hilariously amazing.

  9. I'll definitely be watching highlights on YouTube after the show is over... won't be shelving $65 for the live pay-per-view though. I'm quite excited for the double main event of Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk and John Cena vs. The Rock. My votes are for Jericho and Rock to win them.

     

    There is also speculation that Brock Lesnar might appear somewhere during the show.

     

    Overall, I'm quite excited! :D

  10. Saw The Green Latern.... thought it was utter crap!! Too much CGI and it seemed overall, very fake/cartoonish. Ryan Reynolds was the wrong guy for the role as well. It would have been awesome if they brought Tim Burton to direct it. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Green Lantern reboot a few years from now like they did with HULK.
