    This is well on the way to becoming the absolute coolest site I have ever stumbled across. I just randomly typed "number of Korean students divided by GDP of Botswana" and it happily gave me an answer, and a graph of how that comparison has changed over the past 25 years or so.

  • So last night, Bonnie suddenly sits up in the middle of the night and says to me, "I had a thought!" and I respond, "Oh yeah? What's that?" and she says, "I can wear underwear at the mine" and chortles as if she's just revealed a truly devilish stratagem. And then she goes back to sleep. Sleeptalkers are great.
  • WTF, progSHELL.
  • 5 Unintentionally Disturbing Christmas Ads
    Luke and Jarred, there's Burning Wheel in there.

    The best thing I've ever heard from a sleeptalker was, "Don't be stupid, everyone knows Jews have superpowers!"
  • I got one of the 60,000 Cr-48's running Chrome OS.

    I applied Thursday the week apps opened. No email or package yet. I'm hoping...

  • I too have applied for a Cr-48. Given my slim chances of actually getting one, I am attempting to pre-console myself by reading scathing reviews of its apparently appallingly bad hardware.
  • Apparently my alma mater and my current employer have just engaged one another in furious StarCrafting.

    You know what? I know where I come from. LongHOOOOORNS! Enjoy some five-alarm Texas chili con banelings, you upstart Husky pups!
  • Eeee! So cute, that bat!

    You can run Ubuntu on it. I'd probably dick around in Chrome OS for a week before installing a Linux Dual Boot.
  • Why not just run Ubuntu with Chrome inside it?
    Also, it's a netbook, I thought hardware would have been pretty standard.

    The OS actually does have some neat exclusive features.

    A lightweight OS that wants eight-hours of battery life has to scale down hardware somewhere.
  • My 360 broke over the weekend, so I ordered a new one* and it just arrived. It's so small and quiet, it's pretty awesome.

    *I ordered a new one rather then sending in the old one to get repaired because: 1) it was passed warranty, 2) there was no red ring so I would have had to pay for shipping and repair, 3) for $300 I got a slim console, with a 250 GB HDD, and 2 games, which is a nice upgrade from my 20 GB 1st year 360.

  • Happy Holidays.

    I'm doing the same thing when mine eventually dies again - last time was under warranty, but it's out now, and if it breaks again, straight to the Slim.

    I've been playing some retro games lately and I just played megaman for the first time. God damn, that's a fucking great game.

    Edit: maybe this fits better in booh-yah?

    Haha, my boyfriend talks in his sleep all the time too. This morning his alarm goes off at 4:30, which I have no idea why since he never wakes up that early.

    "Jeremy, your alarm is on."

    "Huh, oh. Ok." turns off alarm.

    "Why is your alarm set so early?"

    "Because I'm going to the zoo."

    "The Zoo?"

    "Yeah, Digit (our cat), told me the dinosaurs are coming to the Zoo and I have to get up and make gravy so she can eat the dinosaurs."
