Saw xyz and got curious what sort of porn will use that tld:
Isn't .xxx for porn and cartoons containing bottles of alcohol?
xxx + 2 = xyz
So:
auto xyz = ++++xxx;
xxx only better?

@Scarlet_Manuka said in Hover :
xxx + 12 = xyz
Right forgot the base!
xxx + 27 = xyz
xyz is much better than xxx?

@wharrgarbl said in Hover :
@dse XYZ used to be the cheapest, but there was a catch on renewal. Many cheap TLDs increase the price tenfold on renewal.
There is another problem with cheap TLDs. They are overused by malware
Gee I wonder why cheap TLDs that jack the price up on renewals would appeal to malware authors who want a bunch of cheap TLDs that they'll never care about renewing because their TLD will be on all the blacklists by that time anyway.

Surely, you don't expect him to understand the Law of Unintended Consequences?

@Scarlet_Manuka gave you the correct answer. Why'd you go and present a doubly wrong answer?
-
Used based 10, but still off-by-one error.
-
@xaade But if you write up an equation with mixed bases, you're supposed to indicate which base each number is in. If you fail to do that, then it is assumed that all numbers are in the same base.
-
all numbers are in the same base.
But, that's not how you play. You can't have two runners on the same base.
-
@xaade Maybe you're just hanging out with the wrong women …
-
@abarker But in what base do you display the base?
-
@PleegWat base 13, because then the Answer to the Ultimate Question makes sense.
-
But, that's not how you play. You can't have two runners on the same base.
Yes, but who's on first?
-

Yes, but who's on first?
Yes, exactly.
-
@abarker Exactly what?
-
-
-
@dkf he asked what base it should be in, I was suggesting base 13 as a possible option ;)
-
@Arantor Well, quite apart from the fact that DA explicitly said it wasn't in Base 13 (too nerdy for jokes), it fails to understand what the meaning of the Ultimate Question and Ultimate Answer are in relation to each other. It's not the digits that matter, but the values.
-
@dkf I know that he officially said it wasn't that, and am well aware that it isn't the numbers that are relevant, but I was aiming for a cheap joke on top of a cheap joke and has apparently ruined it :(

@kt_ I haven't figured out anything to put there yet, but I do use the domain for my test sites for various things.

I don't think I'd host the production server for a game I'm releasing in my basement, but... sure?

So it's going to be an escape game?

Oh, you're one of those "the cloud" kids, huh?

Yes, where you have to escape from Mom's basement, slowly, bit by bit.

Imagine if in 'The Matrix' Neo and Morpheus had to go to Milwaukee. They reach their goal, the Agents start pursuing them, they make it to a phone, pick it up and then get fucking killed because it would take them days to transfer themselves out of the Matrix.

Yeah, not a good idea. You could be DoS'd with a telegraph machine.

Funnily enough, the
.xxx
TLD was thought to be a scheme to force companies to pay extreme amounts of money for a TLD with the same name as them (lest it feature unsavory content), so they were basically forced to set some of the pages to just be blank for notable companies.

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay on MilwaukeePC and I show you how slow your connection really is.
...Morpheus: I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to slowly upload through your crappy MilwaukeePC connection.
...
Neo: What are you doing?
Trinity: I'm going with you.
Neo: No you're not.
Trinity: No?
Neo: There is no chance in hell we have enough bandwidth to transfer both of us, we're connected with MilwaukeePC.
Trinity: Oh...
Trinity: I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I didn't have enough bandwidth to play with him because I'm on MilwaukeePC.

@TimeBandit we need a topic that could just be MilwaukeePC/Matrix fanfic.
-
@Polygeekery I'd be happy to give it airtime on fanfic mondays
-
@Yamikuronue /me hunting for The Matrix script
-
@Yamikuronue is it good fanfic if the protagonists die every time?
There could be good humor in The Matrix glitching out, not loading in time or The Agents stuttering and locking up though.
-
-
@RaceProUK are fanfic Mondays anyway?
-
@Polygeekery A bunch of us read hilariously bad fanfics while @Kuro plays Darksiders
-
@Polygeekery Torturing Kuro, mostly.
I've been doing it for months and months, but lately Ben's joined and he's been gung-ho about talking about it on here, so the cat's out of the bag :)
-
@Yamikuronue where would one find such a thing?
-
@Polygeekery https://www.twitch.tv/deamonkid in about... 4-5 hours from now
