Welcoming our new overlords - Off-topic

Greetings, fellow meatbags.
It has come to my attention that we meatbags are losing more and more grounds to the silicone overlords. From Pamela Anderson's boobs, straight on to Gary Kasparov's inevitable defeat at the hand of Deep Blue, our race of meatbags was most recently and most emphatically beaten, thrashed and dragged through the mud in Jeopardy by none other than IBM's Watson.
What next, you ask?
Rock, paper & scissors
Yes, once the preserve of the playground's courts of arbitration and the ultimate decider of who should be "it", and occasionally the last word in auction arguments, Rock-paper-scissors (RPS) will now be played by the AI.
While we would like to think that a simple game with three possible outcomes would never be mastered by mere humans (or mere computers), NY Times, in collaboration with Skynet, has developed an AI which can ultimately predict and eventually beat humans at this game.
Now I don't feel so secure in my bunker any more.

that hunk of junk is no match for me. Played him on veteran to twenty and killed him, well beat him by 2 matches.

Your overlords frown upon you.

It has come to my attention that some of the meatbags on here have a little too much free time on their hands.

First our overlords give us more free time, then they wait for us to become complacent and lazy from having too little work, then they destroy us!

And this is how it all begins!! I'll be back

It was on veteran. I dont have time (obv. lie) to play 100 rounds so allow me to scientifically estimate the results of such an endeavour.....
Wins - 40
Ties - 50
Losses - 10
I am Sparticus / Spartacus (delete as appropriate)......

Lol, at the beginning it was easy, but at around the 40s I was losing by 8 points, then I had to make up for it.

Just for proof.

Any idea how to unlock volcano?

For those of you who are tempted...
Don't just go 20 rounds. The more you go, the more likely you will succumb to a certain pattern, so the computer's advantage is very obvious the longer you play.
Of course, if we hook it up to a learning matrix database, we'd be busted from the get go.
Also remember that this is done by the NEW YORK TIMES. Now imagine IBM getting down on this.

I agree completely. What about using a more positive approach, like "How long will you live?" instead!
well first of all the site is complete bull****, cause judging by my ancestors i will die at about 80 years, and what kind of question is do you have a dog, in a test like this??
btw I got 70y, and im 16 now!!
EDIT: oh and judging by the test- smoking only takes away 3years - thats an even biger bull****!!
You Will Die at Age 55 lol well i'm over halfway there and some, makes me want to change my life so much "chuck chuckle" not
^LOL, just in time for Holloween! No doubt it will be a box office hit...at least with the XDA
That is not very scientific, here is a much more reliable site.

73 and I dont even drink or smoke! Lol
What this doesnt take into account is that medical science would have definately advanced in 50 years time. We definately won't be at the same level in 50 years time as we are now.
But then again these websites are just plain silly

Is this like a hobby or something ? Because the last time someone bumped age old threads for no reason, they were banned
How does "Do you belong to a volunteer group or church you attend regularly?" determine wether you live longer? Apparently, it makes you live 3 years longer.
Attending church will not make you live longer, that is utter bullsh*t. In fact, being foced to attend church regularly makes me die at age 23. By committing suicide.
"You Will Die at Age 82" Bleh.
52....half way there

Now I need to decide what I'm gonna do for the next 16 years.

You Will Die at Age 55
That's one of the most depressing things I've heard in a long time. I have to put up with another 15 years of this cr4p according to the site - Ireally hope they're wrong.
Edit:
Apparently if I take up smoking, become overweight, start driving faster (and drunk) I can shave 12 years off that and die at 43 :good:

WARNING! Telescope may hit Earth

http://www.hindustantimes.com/WARNING-Telescope-may-hit-Earth/Article1-756017.aspx
all these satellites and crap floating up in the stratosphere, and falling back down as they age, it's making the future picture in Max Headroom more and more closer to reality
soon enough we'll be walking out the streets with those metal shielded umbrellas to protect our-self from the falling debris
Max Headroom was such a cool show!
Anyway, yep..it's getting pretty messy up there. If there was a runaway cascade effect it could get seriously ugly, fast! Imagine going back to pre-satellite era communications!*
We do have the re-tasked NORAD keeping a watch on the situation though, (when they're not busy tracking Santa), and i'm sure if there were any imminent threat we'd have heard more by now.
Don't forget that a lot is coming down even as we put more up, and what comes down mostly burns up safely in the atmosphere. I watched a beautiful re-entry event from my garden one night, as something that glowed green as it burned, streaked towards the ground before splitting into numerous fragments.
*In the event that this happens i'm buying every share i can in Skype. VOIP would take off like a rocket!
the one that you saw... was that the other telecom satellite that was in the news 3 weeks ago?
i though they said that went into the sea

Could have been anything and it was a long time ago! It was eerie and quite unexpected though. I just always look up while i'm outside smoking at night. Force of habit!
It annoyed me when people started mouthing off recently about how NASA couldn't predict where that last one was coming down. If by putting spin on it, you can make a tennis ball swerve by two metres over the length of a tennis court, imagine what unpredictable path an irregular shaped object falling through one-hundred kilometres of atmosphere could take!
YOu know I'm taking some of it if parts of it fall in NYC. And I'll try to be there before the FBI/CIA/Secret Service/Army/Navy/Coast Guard/Aliens/BBQ gets to the location.

Well believe it or not, on XDA I am allowed to post in whatever thread I want, and if it means you get butthurt let it be.
Also what is the whole point with hand egg? In the play offs they only play one game with each team. It should be like hockey where you actually need skill and determination, and not just luck, since you have to win at least 4 games with one team before you can go to the next round.

Yep. They have like 8 teams play in the play offs. So there are 4 games first round, then you have 4 teams left, 2 games, and then the super bowl. Maybe you have a bit more teams at the beginning. In hockey you have 7 games between the teams before going to the next round.
.................
All hail the New York Giants!
i say new orleans saints oh wait thats next year
Don't feel like quoting on my phone. Physical...with 20 kilos of protection. Not sure if you ever played rugby. I had a hard time standing straight for 2 days. And hockey is just as if not more physical. Getting slammed by a 200+ pound guy against a wall is worse than the same hit without a wall. Trust me.

How's it going neighbor. It's been a while since I was in Montreal. Probably about 7 years ago. Nice place.
There used to be a street downtown where everyone would go party. I don't know if they still do it or not. 7 years ago it was considered to be one of the biggest party places in the world. I can't remember the name of the street?
I do remember people parking their cars in the middle of the street on Saturday because the street was so crowded with all the party goers that you couldn't drive down it anyway.

I tried it and survived for two days. Then it tells me that is the end of today's episode and to come back tomorrow. Kind of boring. All I did was run through the woods and every time there seemed like trouble, I avoided it. Took all of one minute.
Not too hard. Now if I had a gun it would be different. That is what they need in the game. GUNS!!!! And rocket launchers and ****.

Because of their size to the untrained eye a train appears to be going slower than it actually is. 8 or 9 out of 10 make this deadly error. You gauge a train's speed by stationary objects around it's path of travel. Telegraph poles or electric poles are convenient reference points. Error on the side of caution. Beware of the 2 or more trains at once on different tracks, the one you can't see can still kill you.
Don't trip on the tracks, ties or gravel holes as this can be a deadly mistake even with no train. The rails will break bones if you fall on them... always assume a train is coming. I've walked many miles on active lines starting at 6yo, still here.
