Darren Bent has quit Twitter! Alert the media!

Posted by on Wednesday, 17 February, 2010

Twitter: 2006-2010. No, the site isn’t shutting down, unfortunately, but it might as well be, for Sunderland striker Darren Bent has quit. Look, see! This is a terrible day for humanity.

Darren Bent, for the seven people around the world who don’t follow the Premier League, is an English footballer who currently plays for Sunderland, a team in the North-east of England. He was transferred from Tottenham, in London, to Sunderland last July. He was, until today, one of the most famous Twitter users in the world. Premiership footballer? Big deal, he has lots of Twitter followers.

Bent’s most famous use of Twitter was to tweet rage at Tottenham management for dragging their heels over his transfer to Sunderland. The Sun called it an “F- Word Rant,” but it must have worked: he’s now a Sunderland striker, and he’s not doing too bad, scoring 15 goals in 25 league appearances.

But that’s all in the past. Sunderland is in the heat of a relegation battle, currently in 13th place in the Premier League. So, in order to concentrate on ensuring his team stays up, he’s quit “the Twitter.”

He said, “People were writing stories in the papers about me from what I put on Twitter. There was a lot made of it. It became a distraction I didn’t need. I thought I would fully concentrate on the football.”

This is the most famous example of a person quitting Twitter. Miley Cyrus, Chris Brown, Tila Tequila (?), all of whom are celebrities, I guess, also famously quit Twitter. But let’s be honest: none of those people can compare to Mr. Darren Bent.



PooTrap: For people who shouldn’t own dogs in the first place

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. This is the PooTrap, an elaborate apparatus that you strap to your dog. It holds a bag in place right about where the you-know-what comes out of the you-know-where. It costs between $30 and $40 depending on the size of your dog.

People, listen. If you can’t tolerate the thought of picking up dog crap, then don’t get a dog. I myself wasn’t crazy about it at first, but you get used to it. It’s not fun, but it’s better than walking a dog with a bag stuck to its ass.

And I can’t stress enough how much you should read the FAQ section of the PooTrap website. Here are some completely unedited questions and answers:

My dog will not like it for sure?

Actually, dogs don’t like many things such as “they don’t like shower”, “they don’t like to stay home alone”, “they don’t like to eat dog cookies”, however, when they are used to all these things, they will be excited about it.

Why my dog seem not able to get used to “PooTrap”?

In many ways dog is like human being! It’s like when first time people use camera to take photos, for sure it seems weird but nowadays many people around the world are using cameras for taking photos.

Dog feel not respected when wearing “PooTrap”?

Babies wear diapers and they are truly loved by their parents, hence same applied to the dogs owners who use our “PooTrap” actually truly love their dogs.

I would rather like to pick up poop by myself?

People invented many useful technologies to make people’s life easier. All these inventions (car is among one of them) are to make people’s life more convenient. With our “PooTrap”, no need to worry that dogs will cause environment pollution, and as dogs owners may know, actually it’s difficult to pick up poop.

And if all that hasn’t been enough for you, here’s a video:

Online Gaming: Who Is Gaming Whom?

Posted by on Monday, 6 July, 2009

Many people around the world play at online casinos, and that’s fine if it’s your only source of gambling. However, online casinos are nowhere near as close to the real thing when it comes to simulation. Take Craps for example. Do you have a good craps strategy? The casino determines what number rolls by using a random number generator. However, just how random is random? If you have been in a casino, you know that every single person at a table has a unique rolling pattern. Some stack the dice and casually vault them into the air. Others shake them up and rocket them to the back wall, while other frequently launch the dice off the table or fall short of the back wall. There are even players who change their rolling pattern every roll or point.

An online casino does not have the ability to simulate this. Sure, they can manipulate the random number generator, but there’s still no way to accurately simulate table action. Having programmed, I know that a random number generator is not all that random. Worse, if the computer simply “picks a number”, it is not even a proper setup to being with. Let’s keep looking at Craps. Does the casino have a random number generator that simply picks a number between one and twelve? If so, all the numbers have an even shot at coming out, which is against true probability. Perhaps they list out all probable combinations and then the computer selects one. This would be a little more accurate, probability wise, but it still lacks the real randomness of live action—and weird events are more likely to ensue.

What I’m about to tell you is true and happens more frequently that one would imagine. A tester recently played at an online casino (online casino craps) to monitor number frequency in the field. Within the span of just 150 rolls, the computer rolled 11 non- field numbers in a row and then followed it up a handful of rolls later by rolling 12 non-field numbers in a row. What’s the big deal you ask? Well, first, the field has a 44.5% chance of winning on every roll and second; the probability of throwing 11 non-field rolls in a row is .0015%. The probability of throwing 12 non-field numbers in a row is .0008%. These events should happen once every 667 rolls and once every 1176 rolls respectively, yet both where seen within a handful of rolls from each other within the 150 rolls monitored.

Wizards of the Coast sue over pirated D&D Player’s Handbook

So here’s a tough one. Some kids posted a copy of the Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook 2 on Scribd.com and it was viewed more than 4,000 times and potentially downloaded about 2,600 times. They also found that a nice Polish boy, Krysztof, who posted copies of some modules. The defendants are based in Florida, the Philipines, and Polska.

Here’s the rub: if I were WotC, I’d be happy someone was actually reading my books. Role playing is popular, obviously, but this would open up the pastime to millions of proto-nerds. Obviously the company needs the cash to stay alive but perhaps something a bit less drastic is in order? Maybe a “lite” version for the kids and an easy way to get the books in stores around the world?

Interestingly, 4,200 downloads is a pittance. Six million people around the world play D&D at present and 20 million have played it in the past. Clearly someone is buying the Monster Manual out there and the 20-sided-die industry isn’t failing. Why get litigious? What think you?
