As a big Half Life fan I thought the image was very funny. Sadly, I donāt think theyāll ever be a Half Life 3.
Valve released HL2 to show off what itās engine could do and ensure there was at least one AAA game on Steam when it launched. I donāt think they ever expected it to be so popular.
An expansion on one from my current math textbook:
"The mother was exasperated because the mess in the kidsā room increased exponentially. Only 10 items were out of place at 9 a.m., but 40 minutes later 80 items were out of place. How many items were out of place by 11 am? "
If we assume that these kids are magical exponentially increasing disorder-generators (not too unrealistic an assumption), and that the kids will eventually be rearranging Planck volumes (less realistic assumption), then there is a limit on how long this can continue: 28 hours and six seconds. That is when the radius of the expanding ball of rearranged Planck volumes must start expanding faster than c. This will occur when the ball is exactly one light second in diameter. The number of things can only expand along with t^3, rather than 2^(1/800*t) (t in seconds) now.
From the same source one can add:
So this is what computer science doctorates are good for:
Total revenue generated by arcades (US) correlates with Computer science doctorates awarded (US), Civil engineering doctorates awarded (US), and Engineering doctorates awarded (US), PhDs awarded to women in all fields (US), Biology and Biomedical doctorates, Uranium stored at US nuclear power plants, and a huge number of other things that generally go with population. Also, people who drink whole milk, die during surgery, or get legally executed donāt spend money at arcades (or vice versa).
My son when he was about 15 months old reached out with one hand and touched his momās phone for one swipe and it froze up and would not work. We took it to this phone store and the guy said that this is the risk you run when trying to hack your phone or something. I told him we were not. He was convinced that it was and said this would have taken several minutes to Jack it up this bad. We kept swearing he did it with one hand in one swipe. The guy refused to believe it and said it was impossible. We had to buy a new phone and the other one never worked again.
