Kantai Collection was always the absolute weirdest concept, to me, in video games/anime. And that includes abstract personifications/anthropomorphic ideas like 'OS-tan', oddball games like 'Muscle March', various H/ero-games, and niche sims like 'Densha de Go!' :p
I get the idea of games that feature cute/moe girls, and games that feature war simulations and war machines...but Kan-Kore as an idea is just...*brain turns off* -_9;;
My random thought today?
What the *** was I thinking getting a new tower that runs Win8?!
I mean it. It was a senseless act! I get my new tower, install FFXI, and now I can't get back into FFXI. It keeps saying the game can't run under the current OS.
Any ideas where I could be going wrong here (aside from using the poisonous Win8 OS)?
Margaret Hamilton, credited with coining the term software engineering, standing with the code she designed for the Apollo 11.
Hamilton's work prevented an abort of the Apollo 11 moon landing: Three minutes before the Lunar lander reached the Moon's surface, several computer alarms were triggered. The computer was overloaded with incoming data, because the rendezvous radar system (not necessary for landing) updated an involuntary counter in the computer, which stole cycles from the computer. Due to its robust architecture, the computer was able to keep running; the Apollo onboard flight software was developed using an asynchronous executive so that higher priority jobs (important for landing) could interrupt lower priority jobs. Initially, the fault had been attributed to a faulty checklist and the radar being erroneously activated by the crew, but a 2005 re-analysis concluded that a hardware design error in the rendezvous radar provided the computer with faulty information even while in standby mode.
Due to an error in the checklist manual, the rendezvous radar switch was placed in the wrong position. This caused it to send erroneous signals to the computer. The result was that the computer was being asked to perform all of its normal functions for landing while receiving an extra load of spurious data which used up 15% of its time. The computer (or rather the software in it) was smart enough to recognize that it was being asked to perform more tasks than it should be performing. It then sent out an alarm, which meant to the astronaut, I'm overloaded with more tasks than I should be doing at this time and I'm going to keep only the more important tasks; i.e., the ones needed for landing ... Actually, the computer was programmed to do more than recognize error conditions. A complete set of recovery programs was incorporated into the software. The software's action, in this case, was to eliminate lower priority tasks and re-establish the more important ones ... If the computer hadn't recognized this problem and taken recovery action, I doubt if Apollo 11 would have been the successful moon landing it was.

The body needs carbs - but you can change the type and source of those carbs to healthier products than simply scarfing down tons of bread or gluten products.
Didn't Fatkins die of health complications following his own diet regime?
From Wiki:
Wiki said:
On April 8, 2003, at age 72, Atkins fell on an icy pavement in New York, suffering severe head trauma. He spent nine days in intensive care before dying on April 17, 2003, from complications from his head injury.[15][16]
Dr. Patrick Fratellone treated Dr. Atkins from 1999 until 2002, and also worked with the doctor at the Atkins Center. He says Atkins suffered from cardiomyopathy, a chronic heart weakness. But this condition, he says, was caused by a virus not his diet: “I was his attending cardiologist at that time. And I made the statement… When we did his angiogram, I mean, the doctor who performed it, said it's pristine for someone that eats his kind of diet… Pristine, meaning these are very clean arteries. I didn't want people to think that his diet caused his heart muscle – it was definitely a documented viral infection.”[17]
A medical report issued by the New York medical examiner's office a year after his death showed that Atkins had a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, and noted that he weighed 258 pounds (117 kilograms) at death.[15][18]
His widow refused to allow an autopsy.[18]
The last two paragraphs point to yes, the rest points to no. "Complications from a head injury" so I'd probably go with no, as if it weren't for the head injury, he probably would have lived, now the question is, if the rest had to do with his head injury, would we consider it a contributing factor? or it if was the cause of the complications?
There's also the fact that he was old when he fell, so I'll still go with no, even though his diet is still unhealthy and bad for people.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
