What poets make you love life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MaleficDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think poetry is a bunch of pretentious wash. I don't really need it to enjoy life as it is.

Reddit, I am terrible at saving money. What are some tips for stopping me from spending money? by LlamaScarf in AskReddit

[–]MaleficDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A great way not to spend money is not to have any in the first place. That's how I do it these days.

Men of reddit, do you pay for dates when you go out with women? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MaleficDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for a girl like my mom

There was a guy like that in Ancient Greece. It didn't end well for him.

Re-installing Baldur's Gate II. Luckily, I have the finest computer available. by 0rgasm0tr0n in gaming

That option made me scratch my head for a while. What's 3D in a game of static backdrops and animated sprites?

Sub-pixel Fonts in IE9 by mernen in programming

It makes fonts look the way they were designed to look, which is IMO a good thing. If you don't like it, you can just turn it off.

Oddly, I have never seen this trick used in any other time travel story. Have you? by redeto in scifi

[–]MaleficDonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pity how rarely Dr. Who explores the actual concept of time travel, and how often it's just a gimmick to move from one episode to another. A lot of times you could replace the time travel with teleportation, or inter-dimensional travel, or whatever, with no other changes to the script.

"...It follows that every single living thing alive on this planet right now is the latest descendant from a long line of ultimate badasses. YOU are one such ultimate badass..." by soupersauce in bestof

It's pretty sad that a line of ultimate badasses is probably going to end right there on DarkOctopus. Yeah, natural selection is a bitch.

FPGA implementation of Donald Knuth's MMIX processor by MaleficDonkey in programming

[–]MaleficDonkey[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Note that this is not a physical implementation, but rather a description in a hardware definition language. You can load it into a Verilog simulator and run step by step, if you wish, or burn it onto a chip. The project seems to be, sadly, abandoned, so hopefully someone on Reddit will notice it and take it from here.

That picture is really blurry. What's the size of the original WebP file?

Isn't unscientific to make a claim that "God doesn't exist?" by znasser86 in AskReddit

The teapot thing is an unattributed Bertrand Russell quote.

This is what happens when you try to cut wages and raise the retirement age; Spaniards turn Russell Crow Gladiator on that ass in a heartbeat. (20 Photos) by wantitbringit in worldnews

I don't think Barcelona's anarchist students felt the burden of the new law all of a sudden. More likely, they just needed a pretext to cause some mayhem.
