Today, my little sister complained about a young boy in her class always pulling her hair. She asked when boys will stop doing it. My mom replied, "They won't, even when they're grown-ups," then looked over at my dad and shared a dirty smirk. FML
all you fucking idiots using that shit, been preaching tixati for 2 years now
Popular BitTorrent client uTorrent is causing a stir by bundling crapware that mines for cryptocurrency with idle CPU processing in its latest update. You can opt out when installing—though some users claim they were never asked for permission—and it's easy to accidentally click "okay." Including adware isn't a new tactic, but this is one is particularly slimy. Learn how to remove the software at How-to Geek.
A glance at Downwell's tricolor palette in still shots doesn't really do it justice. Watching it in motion gives a better idea what it does, but not until actually playing it does it all click. It is built around a simple mechanic: press the button to jump; press it again in the air to fire gun boots downward.
The recoil doesn't act as a double jump exactly. No extra height can be gained from the shots, but the little protagonist's descent can be slowed. The catch is that the boots have limited ammunition in a magazine and reloading requires a stop on solid ground. Those simple mechanics produce a surprising depth in the trip down the well.
Do you like to be comfortable? Are you an asshole? Then boy do we have the garment for you. It's the world's first vape/hoodie combo, and Fred Durst just bought eight.
Stephane Gaudette, a history teacher in Timmins, Ontario, Canada recently got more than he bargained for when he opened a box of Frosted Flakes at the breakfast table with his children. What he found inside the box on the plastic bag containing the cereal was a message written in black marker and dated December 4, 2014. It read:
"This is the very last bag of Canadian cereal for the Canadian market from Kellogg's London, Ontario Plant."
Beneath the message were the signatures of three men. The message writers were dealing with an era of their lives that had come to an end. The Kellogg's factory for which they worked was closed on December 21, 2014 after being in operation for 107 years. Mike Cascadden, the man behind one of the signatures under the message, had the idea to write it because he said the factory was "in his DNA." Cascadden told the London Free Press that his family had spent a combined 184 years of their working lives at the plant: 30 years for his grandfather, 38 years for his father, 32 years for his aunt, 20 years for his son and 24 years himself.
Gaudette didn't take Cascadden's message lightly. He recognized its significance in the history of London, Ontario. Gaudette said,
“It’s kind of ironic it falls into the hands of a high school history teacher. It's a great history lesson.”
See a video and read more about Gaudette's find, including the fate of both the box and the factory, at the London Free Press.

There is nothing Kanye West is better at doing than blowing hot air, so it's no surprise his fans have begun bagging it to sell for thousands of dollars
One enterprising fan posted a listing on eBay earlier this week called "Kanye West Yeezus Tour Air For Sale," which received 90 bids in just several days, resulting in a $60,100 price tag. The original post from stangeedon1, which has now been removed, claimed the user acquired West's air by holding a bag open and sealing it in, The Telegraph reported.
Where there is absurdity, the Internet follows: Stangeedon1's listing prompted at least a dozen other eBay users to try and sell their own versions of Yeezus air. Read more...
This is Salt, the newest yacht concept by Lujac Desautel. It is a sailboat. It has a clean design. It is very pretty. It is not my ideal sailboat—I like classic lines—but it is the kind of ship that I imagine Steve Jobs would have wanted instead of the horror
he actually got. I would happily live in it forever.
Whenever I get my hands on new technology, my first inclination is to try to break it. Well, not the way Fred Durst likes to break stuff, but to see if I can expose any hiccups in the design. Going into a demo for the SteelSeries Sentry, an eye-tracking device, I was confident it wouldn't take long. After all, I can make some pretty minute eye movements that would surely throw it off.
I was dead wrong. No matter where I focused my gaze, the SteelSeries Sentry followed right along. The first (and mandatory) example of this is during the introductory calibration. While it was significantly inaccurate before calibrating, the process cleared that right up. Suddenly, there was a tightly-packed cluster of flickering dots on the screen wherever I looked.
Those dots were indicative of a finer degree of tuning than the human eye can perceive. Each time they wiggled about, which was constant, it represented a vibration or movement of the eye -- something that was completely impossible to actually notice no matter how steady you might think you're staring.
LOS ANGELES — Come to think of it, how did Groot and Rocket Raccoon meet and become a team?
These questions and more are about to be answered, gentle reader of tree-based paper comics (and tree-friendly digital ones), because Marvel is giving Groot his own standalone comic-book.
Following the astonishing success of "Rocket Raccoon," whose issue #1 was the bestselling comic last July, a record-setting month for comic-book publishing, Marvel Comics is set to publish his partner in pulp's very own ongoing series, which will find the two briefly separated — but also explain how they came together in the first place.

Rockstar remains busy improving and tweaking Grand Theft Auto V. With the impending arrival of heists, they also have plans to add another radio station -- except only on PC at first. I guess us console peasants are going to be left out for a little while.
Set to arrive on April 14 with the debut of the PC version, the new station is called The Lab and will feature The Alchemist and Oh No. Also, a full standalone album will follow on April 21.
The station is said to cover "every corner of the fictional world of Grand Theft Auto V and features guests from across the musical spectrum – including Earl Sweatshirt, Little Dragon, Phantogram, Freddie Gibbs, Popcaan, Killer Mike, Tunde Adebimpe and Samuel T. Herring (from Future Islands)."
During the original run of the MTV animated series Beavis and Butt-head from 1993 to 1997, I laughed uproariously because they reminded me of so many of the young guys I worked with at various radio stations. Many of the internet generation had to sneak to watch the show, or only know it in reruns, so you might not know much about Beavis and Butt-head’s groundbreaking series.
2. MTV PULLED THE SHOW SOON AFTER IT BEGAN.
Not due to any controversies, but because Mike Judge and the animation staff couldn’t keep up with the demand for new material, forcing MTV to stop airing the show entirely two weeks after it premiered. It made its return over six weeks later on May 17th with “Scientific Stuff” and “Good Credit.”
5. ALL REFERENCES TO FIRE WERE REMOVED PERMANENTLY AFTER THE SHOW WAS BLAMED FOR A DEATH.
In October 1993, a 5-year-old boy set fire to his Ohio home which killed his 2-year-old sister. Their mother claimed Beavis’ fire-making and blatant spoken love of arson was responsible. MTV’s quick response was to only air the show after 10:30pm and to wipe all fire references from all of the previous episodes—only fans who taped the offending episodes on their VCRs have proof that the word was ever uttered. “Fire” was banned for the rest of the series’ original run, but it was allowed again in 2011.
11. BEAVIS ALMOST SAID SOMETHING TOO CLEVER.
Judge told The New York Times in 1993 that one of the big challenges of the show was to keep the two in character and, therefore, dumb. An original line had Beavis telling his classmates that they had “Beavis envy” because he received a school pass. It was cut because it almost made the 14-year-old with the underbite too smart. In 2011, Judge admitted to “cheating” and probably making them smarter than they are during the music video commentaries.
Wow. This is amazing. I knew cuttlefish could change their hue to blend in with the sea floor and protect themselves from predators. But I didn't know they could use that skill to create trippy light shows that put their prey into trance.
In an interview with Dezeen, perhaps that best interview that I have ever read, Will.i.am boldly pushes a new agenda calling for new laws to stop an uprising of 3D printing humans from sowing the seeds of our society's moral collapse BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
When you download the popular torrent client uTorrent, the website describes the software as "light, limitless" and "elegant, efficient." That's ironic because multiple users are reporting that the latest uTorrent update quietly installs processor-hogging bitcoin-mining software without your knowledge.
