im a big fan of having as many different flight control surfaces, canards, variable geometry wings etc as possible. it really broadens the range of expression the aircraft is capable of, and increases its capacity to react and emote with dramatic or subtle gestures and body language

for example, like a dog that's sad that its walk is coming to an end, a concorde will droop its snoot on landing, and do that face you know the one where you want to give it a little jet-a as a treat

among everybody I know, when playing a video game on an Xbox or a Nintendo, we never say like “press the ABXY button” or whatever. because it’s confusing right. so we always just use the playstation button names

keep coming back to the realization that tux is like one of the best character designs of all time. something about his facial expression. he looks so Head Empty. and the way his feet are faced towards the viewer really emphasizes how he's just sitting on his ass and not doing much of anything. all of that combined with the bold, high-contrast black-and-white with the bright yellow-orange accents? it just screams Yeah Sure It Doesnt Work. What Am I Gonna Do About It? Nothin :)

had my morning cup of coffee. it just wasn't really working for me. even an hour later, i'm just sitting there. no good. so i drank a giant glass of water. my god! what a difference. this shit should be illegal

hi, whats up youtube, welcome to my review of the Psbiometexel LLC Inc. N Zero Crystal Gold UNIX Plus Workstation. this is the original monitor, it plugs in through an extremely thick cable that contains a wire for every single one of the pixels onscreen. as you can see it has a 50-button mouse, which is really useful for CAD software. in fact it was used to design the Chrysler PT Cruiser. these babies used to cost $500 million per unit, and it shows in the all-marble construction,

linux is made by boiling linseed oil. the resulting mixture, or 'kernel', is rolled flat, with additives and dyes added to produce various different decorative patterns and finishes called 'distros'

the biggest problem in computer graphics programming is that the word 'height' is one character longer than the word 'width'

i bet theyre gonna have to put LED strips on every single building in the world to make cities look like wireframe ones so the robot cars feel sufficiently comfortable that they dont start something that computer vision researchers are calling "the crazy taxi era"

the newest bomberman game ive ever played was from about 1989 so i completely missed that they gave him a yoshi. look at this guy holy shit. why did none of you ever tell me about how they gave him a yoshi

if you see a dog, crouch down in front of it and, in an extremely quiet voice, say "woof."

smartphones are cool because you can text your friends to say youre gonna meet them in town, and listen to some music while youre on the bus. and while youre listening to music you see a really funny looking pigeon out of the bus window so you can take a picture of it. all with the same device! three in one! i dont think i personally need more features than that

the original iphone was the best smartphone because like. it didnt have apps. thank god. no apps. the scrolling was really nice. free ipod built in. good normal interface for browsing your music. touch screen where you could touch multiple things at the same time. and the best feature of all: no apps

copy a program from one computer to another, then run it. if it doesn't work, then computers are bad
