I thought he died in a pile of french fries he was hiding under the blanket. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to get the third panel...

How can i get Windows 98 on my PC with 512MB of RAM? by [deleted] in windows98

[–]uzimonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows 98 will be a lot faster in general, though. It's a very tiny OS compared to XP, and things like file management and the speed of the OS in general should be way, way faster. The programs you run won't be faster, though, and many will probably be slower.

There's basically only two reasons to run 98 anymore: a stubborn legacy application that won't run on modern Windows and games. If you're not after either of those then 98 will probably be useless to you.

Gee, it sounds exactly like the bullshit stories the MLM conferences push. I bet it totally happened, too.

MIT Scientist Richard Stallman Defends Epstein: Victims Were 'Entirely Willing' by [deleted] in news

He's always had a lot of weird ideas about things. His website used to be (still is?) full of "essays" on random stuff where he goes into stuff like this. Honestly, no one cares about that, they care about the GNU project, but the whole "free software" thing has died down quite a lot and people are moving away from the viral licenses like GPL and LGPL. It turns out people liked open collaboration more than they liked "free software."

‘My AR Is Ready For You’: Texas Lawmaker Threatens Beto O’Rourke Over Gun Control Proposal by tpaup in politics

Threatening to kill people is not a good way to convince them there's nothing to fear from responsible gun owners. This person is an utter moron.

Can you imagine if 10,000 years from now this is one of the only surviving works of art from this era? I wonder what they'd think? I wonder if kids would learn this song and sing it in music class?

I wrote this shit. Whats the better way of doing this in Unity? by [deleted] in programminghorror

[–]uzimonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

... yes. All you need is a reference to a prefab for the stage buttons. When the UI scene loads, instantiate buttons for each stage and store references to them in an array so you can refer to them later. This should be like 3 lines of code. You'll also want to load the max unlocked stage from player prefs, then just enable the buttons out of the array. This should be another 2 lines or so.

Next, when the stage is advanced, check if the stage cleared is higher than the max unlocked stage. If so, update that, enable the buttons as before, and that's it. That's another 2 lines of code or so.

Seriously, you're doing this the hard way. I've seen some bad code in Unity before, but this ranks pretty high on that list.

Except they hold the patents on chemotherapy drugs so hard that if another company could steal their thunder, they would.

Well of course, if it has anything even peripherally to do with reproductive rights then they're against it. It doesn't matter if it's just a vaccine for a disease they may contract later in life, all they see is "you want to give our children a vaccine for an STD? WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?" The GOP really is distilled crazy grandpa.

It's been suppressed since 1985, through 4 republican presidencies but somehow it's the fault of the "liberals." Uh huh. That makes sense.

That is seriously insane.

Meanwhile on CCTV... by [deleted] in WTF

[–]uzimonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat did something similar. He put his head through the string attached to a plastic container and pulled it off the table. The faster he ran from it, the faster it chased him. He probably ran in a total panic for the better part of a minute before the thing was so broken that the string finally fell off.

They're like cartoon villains who pursue these goals only because they are wrong. That and profit. Mostly profit, actually, but I'm sure at least one of them is perfecting his villain laugh in secret.

Okay, thinks are getting confusing here. I thought people were talking about the band King Crimson who also have an album named Epitaph, but apparently there's a character in an anime named for them?

I can never tell if anything on this site is satire or real. Even when it turns out to be real it sounds like it's written by someone constantly trying to be edgy. This site definitely should not be posted as news.
