Assange is a rapist

I guess I have something to play around with the smilebasic syntax. I can't imagine that the language used will change dramatically to the new version..

This looks like an iteration on PetitComputer, and there are a bunch of stuff on Petit on http://petitcomputer.wikia.com/wiki/Petit_Computer_Wiki

Petit Computer has a function that allows you to share via QR code. Since the screenshots show that this is based on Petit, I'd assume that you have that in this as well.

dangit! I just bought petit computer last weekend. From the screenshots though this looks like the same interface as Petit Computer. Is this a new application separate to Petit or will this be an update for Petit I wonder...

If you don't mind me asking; are you one of those people who use the word "Millennial" unironically?

Kinda reminds me when Kraft was about to acquire Cadbury there were thousands (Ok not literally but there was quite a bit of noise) of facebook groups saying that this shouldn't happen because "the chocolate will taste like dairylea cheese" as if Toblerone wasn't a thing that Kraft made.

It's funny how when there's news of a company acquiring another people think straight away that it'll change drastically and overnight, making the huge assumption that the company is A) going to change anything B) doesn't know that changing something will break trust with users making their billion dollar purchase useless.

Or maybe Yahoo will change things on tumblr who knows? I'd like Yahoo to add a feature to change your primary blog on tumblr. That would be nice to have..

Hey I can post links too! Her's a link right here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smear_campaign

But really I decided to do a bit of research into this and found that the source of this came from this site http://www.p4rgaming.com/?p=1680.

In case anyone doesn't know. It's a "satire" site.

Not quite. A lot of the 100 "games" are DLC for other games.

/me puts tinfoil hat on

    Adam and Eve are riding bicycles (naked) in the Garden of
    Eden. They decide to have a race to see who is the
    fastest person in the world. Adam's wheel pops and he
    uses the snake St Satan as a replacement tube. $4

Imagine turning a snake into a bike tube. You'd end up putting the tail in the mouth. The symbol for a snake eating its own tail is an Ouroboros (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros) representing cyclicality (hohoho bicycles!) especially in "eternal return".

Funnily enough this cyclicality is mentioned in the idea where a man ends up being a dead albino during the day and a wild horse at night. There's a cycle of the man going from dead albino to a wild horse and even a "Rising from the grave" (http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/rise+from+the+grave) in the idea's description.

Oh.. and here's some info about the symbolism of horses: http://www.whats-your-sign.com/horse-symbol-meanings.html

There's quite a few mentions of love and marriage across the texts. There's also a date on the last message (DESOLEE). Could they be related?

Oooh actually look at the second to last point of NOTES and then look at DESOLEE. Of course 18th of April not in "1 hour" but still ;)

One bit I found interesting in NOTES was "avoid using pseudonyms". Could this be something to do with _why detaching from his persona for the last few years?

I think it's supposed to be "term" not "team". I think we all can guess where's he's getting at here though :) (/me looks up the last point in NOTES)

Whilst I'm kinda disappointed that my game (Space Ham https://github.com/dafrancis/SpaceHam) was 104th on the list, on the other I shouldn't really. I didn't spend much time on the game at all and although I could have spent time making the theme coherent and making a solid and fun/engaging game I ended up submitting what I managed to build anyway since at least then I would have something to show.

I also took part in Fuck This Jam (http://bmo.fuckthisjam.com/) in November which could also explain my lack of effort. Since I did the mistake of "not using a game engine" or "not knowing how to do graphical game interfaces" my games tend to look rather crude and mspaintlike. I did learn a lot about canvas though in the last month so it wasn't all for nothing.

Github Gameoff and Fuck This Jam were the first time I've gone and participated in a jam on my own. I've learned a lot of things and I think I will be better prepared next time I decide to partake in another jam. Perhaps I'll take a few art lessons as well...

Favourite is one of those weird features on twitter I rarely use. I suppose the idea is to use it like a "like" or "+1" button but I find that "favourite" is too strong a word. There's been plenty of tweets I've seen where I think "this is a good tweet but I don't like it enough to RT it". I mean I liked the tweet but I'd never say it's amongst my favourite tweets.

To be honest I don't think this will stop trolls, or at least not the ones that actually believe what they say. There will be still some trolls that will fill in the correct word in the captcha and say stupid shit in the comment. Asking for someone to think morally for a brief second is not going to stop people. This is "just another captcha" to most.

I don't think it's effective against bots either. If a bot can read the three options it has a 1/3 chance of getting it right (assuming that the bot would choose randomly). In fact from the sample captcha it looks like one of the words is not like the others and therefore you could possibly eliminate that making it a 50:50 chance (again assuming it picks it randomly, that there's an odd one out, and that the odd one out is unrelated to the text above).

Although, I suppose that the idea of the captcha is to show awareness, rather than actually stop spam or trolling. It's neat, but not a great spamkiller.

Guide on how to Hacker News:

1. Look at the current popular articles in Hacker News and choose one.

2. Write short blogpost about it which could easily been a comment (but your opinion is much more important and deserves its own golden soapbox)

3. Post said golden soapbox on Hacker News.

4. Steps 1-3 are repeated by someone else posting a rebuttal to your blogpost.
