Pockels beats Popcorn in the final for me
I note that at the end, the two hilts are still stuck together. Maybe they both need to be turned off?
And I’d have liked to see the blades in color.
Didn’t Spaceballs do this?
In Spaceballs, the sabers wrapped around each other (“I hate it when my Schwartz gets twisted!”); Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis had to work together to separate them, resulting in them stumbling back to the walls.
ETA: Or, to put it in a way the kids will understand-
I’m a little disappointed he told us where the projection’s pole is, because it would have been fun to try to find it.
Little-known fact, by the way: A full Mercator projection is infinitely tall. Real maps just cut off at whatever latitude they think there isn’t anything sufficiently interesting beyond. That’s why that single tiny island ends up larger than all the rest of the world, and the lake on the island would end up larger than everything.
Needs [square brackets] and {curly brackets}.
Is the cursed one a real thing?
Don’t think so. The title text is making a joke that the lower 2 should be treated like the variable below the capital sigma in a summation.
Now if the lower 2 was the same size as the upper, it’d be combinatorics notation. Although that would be a trivial combination, since it’s equal to 1.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this app:
Can’t figure out how to get to Apple Maps. Probably only available on Apple computers.
Ya know, I went to that page before posting. It has all kinds of what are more or less ads about the features of Apple Maps, but strangely enough, no actual maps.
Oh, I see now that when I click “Open Maps” at top right, it launches a different app. I’ll have to try it on my Windows machine and see what happens.
Don’t get the “Open Maps” link. It may be because I’m running Ubuntu or may be because I don’t have an Apple account. Google may not have the prettiest maps around, but at least they don’t require me to have an account to use them.
Re: Apple Maps
Before the xkcd on it, I didn’t even know Apple was doing a map thing. Now today, only two days later, I’m out bicycling and what do I see? An Apple Maps car. I’ve been using Google Streetview for several years now and have never seen one of their cars in the wild.
They launched “Apple Maps” with iOS 6 in the 2012 release making it the default mapping feature in iDevices. Across the land millions were utterly underwhelmed by what it brought to the table, and promptly shoved it into the “unused bundleware” folder and installed Google Maps onto the home screen.
…but they got better.
