"My favorite real-time software is the XM153 remote control software that comes standard with the XM153 50 caliber machine gun. It is solid, never crashes, easy to use and easy to install."
If you don't appreciate the genius of that answer you are dead inside.
My favorite remote control software comes attached to M16 rifle. That always faithful wetware automatically takes care of, transports, and operates M16 rifle in all conditions around the world.
Why yes. My primary tool is the M1A1 Flamethrower. It does wonders for spreading my development philosophy which is my own variant of FDD; fear-driven development.
The funny thing is that is a fucking GSG-5 .22lr mockery of the HK MP5, with a fake suppressor attached to make it legal as a rifle (16"), in his photo.
That's like posing with a "mac" from fisher price.
If this fisher price thing is loaded, pointed at someone, and you pull the trigger will it hurt or possibly even kill that someone?
Another question: if a bunch of well trained delta force operatives went up against an equally numbered random thugs where delta force had the fisher price thing and the thugs had whatever you said was better, who would win you think?
I don't get some people's attitudes when it comes to guns.
John McAfee is crazy and any listening to his rants is a waste of time. I unfortunately read this one thinking it was actually a parody, but since there was no punchline, I realize now I've been suckered into another pointless article. I'm still in disbelief that bragging about a gun is actually coming from a 68 year old man(boy?).
"They allow me to solve 2nd order partial differential equations in my head and to spontaneously create 4 dimensional images of software structures that I can mentally manipulate."
Dude, teach me! But seriously, although the first boast is pretty much BS, I was surprised to learn that there is actually something called software visualization, albeit in 3D: http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~bieman/Pubs/StaplesBieman99.pdf If only the authors knew about the "smart drugs"!
1. If McAffee could differentiate y = x^2, I'd be surprised.
2. Although it sounds intense, a 2nd order partial differential equation represents either an oscillating sinusoid, a decaying or growing exponential, the product of the two, or a trivial solution: a constant.
Ever pulled on a spring and let it bounced back and forth a few times until it came to rest? Congratulations, you've just "visualized" a 2nd order partial differential equation. Same thing (,Leon). I learned thisin high school 20 years ago and it was invented/discovered hundreds of years ago. It's much harder to actually solve than to "visualize." And it's much harder to apply, to combine with harder math (try solve the wave equation!), etc.
3. 4 dimensional images of software structures (during sex). If you can imagine a call graph in 2-d (doxygen/dot), then imagine the same call graph in 3-d (not flattened), then imagine the same call graph at several moments in time, like a multiple exposure image, congratulations, you've just spontaneously created a 4-dimensional image of a software structure. No phenethylamines needed.
McAffee is all bullshit marketing, swagger and trying to sound deep, tough and cool. If you read his backlog of attempts to do anything on his own on bluelight.ru, you'd feel sorry for the poor guy. He could barely synthesize meth and ecstacy under ideal conditions.
Whatever happened to his B.S. plan to provide a secure anonymyity VPN blackbox-whatever from six months ago? [1]
"primarily a semi-auto .22 rifle with a silencer. They are virtually completely silent and can pierce car doors and other light armor."
Complete and utter bullshit. They won't penetrate a car doors, nor will they penetrate light armor. Conventional wisdom is that they will struggle to stop an adrenaline filled grown man, the combined experience of 100,000s of hunters says they won't stop mid sized game.
And don't start with "but if you head shot" nonsense.
Well... not to be contradictory, but don't be so quick to count the little round out. They can penetrate car doors depending on where they hit and the angle of the shot. The caliber debate is pretty silly, .22 have killed many, many humans and game of all size. Is it the most powerful? Of course not. But it's hard to decide what is, live bodies are weird that way.
I can also say that anyone who calls a .22 with a silencer completely silent has never shot a .22 with a silencer.
Now I don't know jack about guns, but I'd heard that .22s can be way more deadly than heavier ammo, largely because of the bullets' tendencies to go spiraling around inside the body due to their low force/velocity/whatever.
Can you comment on this?
Or not, I mean, it's not like it's a practical matter or anything.
