The Anaheim Ducks last 4 years in the post season can be summed up thusly:

Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.
Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.
Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.
Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.

Bruce Beudreau's last 7 post seasons can be summed up thusly:

Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.
Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.
Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.

Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.
Leads series 3-2.  Lose game 6 on road and game 7 at home.

(Beudreau is the current...soon to be former, coach of the Ducks.  Before that he was with Washington.  He is the only coach to have lost 3 consecutive game 7s at home.  He's done it with two different teams.)

So in case you haven't heard about it, Microsot designed an AI that learns and evolves from talking with people in twitter.

It soon turned into a racist genocidical machine by troll comments and was pulled out.

But what I find really funny about this is that it means the Megaman X series turned out kinda prophetic. X only turned out a good robot because he spent decades in a bunker "learning" how to be good, while basically every other AI in the series designed to interact with humans eventually degenerates into "Kill the filthy meatbags!"

That's also why "true AIs" are really overrated. If they can learn anything, there's a lot of wrong stuff out there to learn.

Actually, if I remember correctly, Dr. Wright basically pre-programmed X before sealing him away in a time capsule. The reason X is immune to the Maverick virus is simply because he's an older architecture that can't interact with it.

That's incorrect by at least three reasons:
-Most reploids were built by reverse-engineering X.
-Zero was built around the same time as X, and Zero's the origin of the Maverick virus.
-In the Megaman Zero time period, the first game's final boss is a carbon copy of X that was built after the original X went missing, except they skipped the whole "spend decades learning the difference between good and evil" bit, and thus the copy X used its superior power to basically become a psycopath robot dictator (leading to the period's premise of scavenging Zero because he was pretty much the only bot who ever could go toe to toe against X). It's one of my favorite boss fights in Megaman games, since copy X has a dynamic AI that can use any of the original X weapons from the previous games, so it can be pretty different duel each time you fight it.

You're all off, because megaman isn't canon, as is the cut up, changed up, made puerile for American's version. Rockman is the only real version.

=P

(Posting on behalf of a friend of mine, I've never watched or played either series.)

Please. The only "megamans" games that are canon are Megaman Soccer and Rockman VIII.

All of you are clearly silly peoples.

So this isn't funny at all ... there's a huge fire in Fort McMurray north of Edmonton Canada.

The people weren't taking it seriously, the winds changed,
and the fire roared (literally) right into the middle of the city.

This is about as close as a large group of people can get to being a "Darwin Award".
Those are flaming cinders landing on the cars, from the trees right next to the road !!

It's hard to get the scale of this ...






Toronto vs. Fire Size

[Kethrian]

Yeah, that fire is insanely huge.  It's already 1,500 square kilometres in size (150,000 hectares), and is predicted to as much as double that by the end of today.  To give an idea of reference, New York City is 789 square kilometres.  LA is 1,302 square kilometres.

Game Freak has finally made another non-Pokemon game.

That game is Pocket Card Jockey, a game in which you fall off a horse, get trampled, and are resurrected by an angel so that you can win the Royal Derby.

By playing speed solitaire.

Because you're a shitty jockey.

It's glorious, is what I'm saying.

So true!  When I was in grad school, I played around quite a bit with linux. Now that I'm married with kids, I almost never boot it up.

I've heard about using fruit in the bedroom, but this is just ridiculous. NSFW

This is the best D20 product cover. The statue's got a sassy pose as it eyes the adventurers; the girl seems weirded out and leaning away slightly, while the guy has an intrigued expression.

[Nanshork]

I think that might be the sassiest book cover that I've ever seen!
