I’ll say it again.. it’s absolutely mental he is still in a job. In any normal organisation he would be long gone. If you call yourself a Celtic fan, there comes a point where you have to look at the reaction from the support, banners demanding your resignation and songs being sung about you and ask whether staying is really in the best interests of the club.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on PC runs great to the point where optimised settings are far less important than understanding what the texture cache option does and how you should configure it for your GPU. Alexander Battaglia has our PC tech review:

Some organ donors in America are not truly brain dead when the organ procurement process begins, says Dr. Joseph Varon, co-founder of Independent Medical Alliance. “I have seen multiple occasions where a person supposedly was brain dead. If you are brain dead, you don't need any permission from anybody to disconnect somebody from a machine…but there are specific criteria as to what constitutes a patient that is brain dead. So a brain dead person, for example, would not have any feeling. When I was doing my fellowship training…I would fly with a cataract surgeon to wherever was the dead person. So we would examine the lungs, and if the lungs were good, we would get the lungs out. In order to do that, I would do a procedure called bronchoscopy, where you put in a scope into the lungs, and if you are dead, you don't cough, you don't move, you don't do anything. There was more than one instance where I would go in, I put in my little scope, and the patient starts either moving or coughing. And you look at the nursing staff and you say, ‘Hey, this person is not dead.’”

Lue Elizondo says Hal Puthoff was a giant in the intelligence community and lead physicist on Zero Point Energy. "The idea is that there is energy in the Universe where it should not be, in fact it's everywhere. If you have a way to harness that then you potentially have an unlimited supply of free energy."

With blizzards and mountains of snow, could you imagine having to deliver pizzas in this? So you just delivered a decent sized order to a used car lot, they didn’t shovel the snow yet so it was a trek just to get to the door. The bill was $43, they gave you a two $20’s and two $5’s, you figured the remaining $7 was the tip, you thank them and go back to the shop. When you get there, your manager pulls you aside and says the dealer called back and said you stole their $7 change and just left, they make you drive all the way back to give them back the $7. Would you have even bothered to go back knowing they are just being jerks?

Where is the triangle? Alex O'Connor thinks consciousness is the one thing materialism can't explain away and he has a deceptively simple argument for it. Close your eyes. Picture a triangle. You can see it. The shape, the angles, maybe even the colour. It's right there, vivid and undeniable. Now ask yourself: where is that triangle? According to Alex, this single question cuts to the heart of one of philosophy's oldest problems. A strict materialist, someone who believes everything in the universe reduces to physical matter has to say that triangle exists somewhere in the neurons of your brain. But if a neurosurgeon cracked open your skull right now, they wouldn't find a triangle anywhere inside. "If everything you experience is reducible to the material when I close my eyes and see a triangle, there really is a triangle there. I can see it. It's there. And I think well, where is that triangle? The materialist has to say it's reducible to just somewhere in your brain. But if I cut open your brain I'm not going to find a triangle inside of it." He anticipates the obvious pushback. When he raised this on YouTube, commenters pointed to computers as a counter-example: if you cut open a computer, you won't find the triangle it's displaying on screen either. But the hardware is still producing a real image on a real screen. Alex's response is that this analogy doesn't hold because the mind has no screen. There is no separate interface between the brain's processing and the experience of seeing. The brain is the computer and the screen. Which only deepens the mystery: somehow, purely physical processes are generating a first-person, subjective experience: colours, shapes and images that can't be located anywhere in physical space. "It's as if the computer itself somehow had a triangle in the computer's own first-person subjective experience. Like where is that triangle that you can picture in your head? Where the hell is it?" For Alex, consciousness isn't just another interesting puzzle in the philosophy of mind. It's the big objection to materialism. The thing that, once you sit with it, seems to demand that there is something more going on than matter arranged in clever ways. He points to something as ordinary as dreaming as a case in point. Every night you produce vivid images full scenes, faces, colours without any external input. An entire visual world conjured from nowhere. Where does it come from? Where does it go? "Even just when you have an average dream, it's fascinating to think what's going on there. You've got images in your head, you can close your eyes and you can picture things, you can see colours, you can see shapes in your head. Like where are those shapes?" The triangle thought experiment has a way of making this undeniable. It's not abstract. You can do it right now. And when you do, you run headfirst into the hard problem of consciousness: the gap between the physical description of the brain and the felt quality of experience that no amount of neuroscience has yet bridged. Whether you find Alex's argument convincing or not, the question it raises is genuine: how does purely physical matter give rise to the inner world we each inhabit a world of colours, shapes, memories, and dreams that exists nowhere except in the first person?

I grew up with the C64 (early 80s) as so many of you here. My very first game ever, the one that my brother and I played to death, was Falcon Patrol (1983) designed by Steve Lee. If there is one sound I will remember until my final days, it will be the refueling sound of the jet. What was your first computer and the very first game you played on it? (Not a game that you played at your friend's place or at the arcades - but the first game on your very own first computer)

THE BEAUTIFUL AGONY OF LOADING THE ZX SPECTRUM Back in the 1980s, you didn’t just click “Play” - you fed your computer a cassette tape. You’d press LOAD "", hit play on your tape deck, and sit through several minutes of shrill, screeching modem-like noises while psychedelic loading bars crept across the screen. If you were lucky, the game loaded on the first try. If not? You’d rewind, adjust the volume, and pray to the 8-bit gods. It was slow, unreliable, and absolutely magical. Source: Coffee Cup Arcade

Why and when points are taken in MMA — Big John McCarthy explains: “When you sit there and say, ‘I’m gonna take a point for any eye poke, any touch of the fence, or anything like that,’ you’re not gonna like the results. It’s gonna be detrimental to the sport. When you categorize it as, ‘What was the intent? And what was the effect?’… If I have someone who reaches their hand out towards the fence and kind of grabs it to stop the takedown, but the takedown still happens — the intent was to stop the takedown, the effect was it didn’t happen. I’m not gonna take a point; I’m gonna warn you. If you stop the takedown, no doubt you stopped the takedown.”
