Birthday is tomorrow, college in a week. Catch you guys on the flip side.

Yeah...because I was in a royal hurry to do this before I left (like I said in the news post).

Looking back, I could have feasibly gotten everything in place, but considering I had to try to work on the site while loading cars, taking stuff apart, doing more packing, and hanging out with my awesome friends one last time I didn't want to risk keeping the site down too long.

Problem now is that I'm not entirely sure what the best thing to do with the backups I have is. :x  I might just put them up as a read-only "s.net v3.0" and let you guys grab stuff from there...we'll see.

Did vlad really seriously leave? What a chump.

Also, I got to stand outside of Wal-Mart and beg for money for three hours today (er, yesterday). It was actually pretty fun. Then my friend came over, and we went swimming for three hours.

I'm hungry. I want donuts.

chump.

fuck that. So, he hasn't posted in a week... Big deal. And so he hasn't recreated his account yet... So what? The forums just got deleted, for only two days now. Shit-talking over something small and so soon is fucking ridiculous. No need to call names, really. A reaction like this has only lead me to suspect an underlying issue between the both of you, and if none of us has detected it, it certainly must be over something completely miniscule and blown out of proportion. Saying things like this will only prolong vladgd's return, which is what many of us on this forum don't want, especially bullshit comments and trash-talking at other users. Do us a favor, please, TimJing, and just keep it to yourself and vlad. The rest of us don't need to hear it.

Damn I missed Cristian's photo of the day... Cristian, be sure to repost like, the most recent pictures since like 8/17/07.

s.net v1.0 was the phpBB-"powered" forum
s.net v2.0 was the SMF-powered forum
s.net v3.0 was Joomla+SMF
s.net v4.0 is this

It's going to stay at v4.0 for a loooooooooooong time, I promise.

What the christ? Dude, chill the hell out. I have NOTHING against vlad, it's just silly to see people leave over nothing (and yes, his last post said 'psbai', and that was about a week and a half ago). You're acting like the fact that I called him a 'chump' (which I use very often and with very little meaning, by the way) has the same effect as me calling him an 'assclown that needs to kill himself'.

Don't get me wrong, it's funny, and the friends I went with were convinced it was the greatest movie ever, it's just that I honestly didn't care for the amount of swearing. Not to sound like some sort of prude or anything, but god, swearing ever sentence is overkill. That's probably 90% of the reason the movie got an R-rating. That and the fact that the entire subject matter of the movie is losers trying to get laid.

Hopefully my computer won't be a douchebag and be able to run Bioshock. I've got an X800, which has managed to cut it quite well for everything I've played up to FEAR, so I'm hoping the minimum specs thing is bs and I'll be able to play the game passably on the lowest settings.

I'm taking French in school. Sometimes it makes me want to shoot myself. The only reason is that I live in Florida, and I DON'T want to learn Spanish.

Same reason I'm taking German. Even if Spanish and French didn't suck so much ass, I'd still take it though.

Status report on my first day of school: IT KICKED ASS. All of my teachers are AMAZING. I'm going to have the best year of school ever, I can just tell.

AP Literature: Easy teacher, kind of weird, but I should do fine.
German: Really awesome teacher who's friends with my sister (they're two weeks apart in age) and the students kick ass too.
AP American History: Great teacher, my sister had her years ago, and I have friends that had her. I'm really interested in history, so I should do fine.
Physics honors: Probably the coolest teacher i've EVER had. He has some interesting policies, such as 'mp3 players and other electronic devices are allowed once your work is done' and 'no forcing students to do work if they don't want to'. I'll share stories in the future.
Trig: Really nice teacher, but she's OCD about everything relating to cleanliness and neatness. Should do fine.
Instrumental Technique IV: Band. We just practice our marching band show. Easy.

Then I leave school, at 1:05. I leave school. Not, I get picked up, but I myself leave school. Thanks license!

Can you compile the latest version found on http://www.holywar.net/index.builder/en/freeware/holyshout3.html  for me? For some reason, my shell is getting errors trying to compile it. :\

I'll see what I can do tomorrow...rather tired at the moment.

If you want to try something else in the meantime, try using gnumake or gmake (forgot how they put it) instead of just "make".  While some of the GNU and BSD tools are similar there are enough differences to make them totally incompatible in some cases (i.e. GNU make won't handle the ports collection at all while BSD make chokes on a lot of GNU automake derived Makefiles).

So I found out that I can use that same script to fuse .mp3s with images if I change the file extension to .rar, although I might just be able to edit the .bat file to fuse .mp3s.

EDIT: Wow, that was some simple scripting. I made a script that can fuse .mp3/.ogg/.zip/.rar files with .bmp/.png/.gif/.jpg images, and I cut it down so it just loads up, fuses the files, and closes itself. That script is now in my avatar's archive along with simple instructions.

Man, that's actually a pretty cool way to send messages to people, lol. or, you can rar up a program, combine it with a jpg, send it to someone, and they can use the program, and whoever's watching the whole thing (for instance, you're sending from school via email or something) will never realize what you did, unless they've got some intense logging.

yep. and it makes photofucket a great place to host some data.

A really great way to hide files is to use an embedded jpg. attach a password-protected rar to a jpg, and its contents will never be discovered. Even if they knew that the jpg was in fact a jpg + rar, they would *still* have to use brute force to open the rar. Give the rar a really long alpha numeric password, and I'd say the only one that could find you out would be the FBI. (I've heard crazy stories about what those motherfuckers can do with stored information)

Post by: Bobbias on August 22, 2007, 02:46:04 PM
Lol, well, considering how much power they have, plus, there are ways to make brute force more powerful. By using something that tailors the first guesses to things that people are more likely to use as a password, they can crack many common passwords much quicker. Basically, prioritizing using their knowledge of how people chose passwords.

Lol, I'm in a small town, so by about 1 or 2 I'm usually the only person in the place (we don't have 7-11s, but we still have 24 hour convenience stores, and they're close enough.) I could talk to the clerk for 2 hours straight and probably only see 1 other person awake at that time. Of course, I'm the kind of person who goes out at 5:30 AM when there's no more coke in the house and buys a pack for himself.

I'm taking the learner's permit course online. It might just be the funniest thing ever. I quote - "Most people are afraid to fly. You should be afraid to drive." "Myth: alcohol makes you sexier. Truth: The more you drink, the less you think. Alcohol may loosen you up and make someone more interested in sex, but it interferes with the body's ability to perform. And then there's pregnancy, AIDS, sexual assault, car collisions and worse, to worry about. Not sexy at all."

Oh yeah, I know. I'm really excited for TF2.

In other news, the american distro of Granado Espada, Sword of the New World, has decided that they're going f2p instead of p2p, which is freaking amazing news. I'm not even exaggerating slightly when I say it's the best mmo I've ever played. For one, grinding is reduced to leaving your game minimized/windowed, due to a built-in patrol feature (this is logical, considering you control 3 people at once), PvP is emphasized, and is a blast, and the character system, where you get to hire NPCs, is freaking genius. Not to mention the incredible art.

I mean, think of it.  Capping off those annoying double ducks almost simultaneously.  Uses the same ammo pool but still, two guns is way cooler than just one! Dunno if it will need extra batteries or not, but probably shouldn't.

Also, anyone here smoke cigars? I bought a pack of Colts (Cognac flavour). I love those things, so much better than cigarettes. And yes, I know the health risks, but this is my second time smoking cigars, and I plan to keep it an occasional habit, same as smoking pot.

It may take a while unless you have some experience programming before. C++ is not really beginner friendly. Though I can lend a hand with explaining some stuff, or showing you how to use some code. I can't guarantee it'll be well coded, but it should usually work.

Yeah, I work at Borders. We got totally shafted by providers. The only provider who could actually hold to the contract was t-mobile and they're pay-to-use.

But yeah, they usually just expect you to buy a coffee. I've never cared even if they get nothing. Makes my job easier haha.

lol, nice. I Most people don't read entire books there anyway, most people browse the book, decide whether or not to buy, and buy it anyway. It takes a lot to keep coming back and reading the book without bothering to buy it. Though I'm sure I'd be surpriised how many people do read the books in the store, lol.

We got totally shafted by providers.

Why?

C++ is not really beginner friendly.

It isn't. My C++ Primer book says that the book is written only for people with program theory, in BASIC or otherwise. You need to get a firm grasp on program theory and knowing how to solve problems like a computer before you do anything advanced... That is, assuming you have no prior programming experience. Doing a "Hello world!" may be cute and all, but then getting into arrays and classes and pointers makes things a little trickier. ;]

It may take a while unless you have some experience programming before. C++ is not really beginner friendly. Though I can lend a hand with explaining some stuff, or showing you how to use some code. I can't guarantee it'll be well coded, but it should usually work.

I'm fairly proficient with BASIC, if that counts for anything.

Well, I began on C++, so I know what it's like. You just have to be able to understand the ideas of what a class is, and how it works. And when you should use one, and what you should use one for, and such. Because that stuff tends to come easily to me, learning classes, inheritance and such was easy. Of course, after learning C++, Java is a breeze, you just learn to HATE writing GUIs in it.

PS: I also have worked with VB, C#, Java, Some Perl and PHP, Turing, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Post by: Bobbias on August 30, 2007, 02:25:44 AM
I'm waiting, getting a job, and saving money, because college costs way too fucking much. We're not all rich. Plus, for 1 year, my college costs about the same as most people's university tuitions for a year. $18 900 for a 1 year course in music recording and engineering. My parents have a $5000 GIC in my name which is available until I'm 21 if used for my education, but aside from that, I'll have to take out a loan. And $18 900 is a VERY big loan. The place I'm planning on going is in Mississauga, which is part of Toronto (one of the cities that Toronto absorbed when it was expanding) and is like, 2 hours away. The place is a specialized institute, so while there are no dorms or special housing, the company that handles their loans is willing to loan 100% of the tuition AND living expenses. Which means that while I will be able to afford it technically, I'm going to have one HEFTY loan on my hands afterwards.

So, I'm planning on working at Elcan if I can, which is a very nice place to get a job, if you can. They primarily manufacture lenses for sniper scopes, but they also make a lot of other things, both military and non-military. They are a child company of Raytheon, which as of 2005 is the 5th largest military contractor in the world.

They're one of the few remaining places that still sort of adhere to that "work for a company, wo9rk there all your life" mentality. They will help pay for training and such if you want to move up, for something like a CNC machine operator. Plus, most of the jobs there that are skilled like CNC machinists and such are jobs you can find just about anywhere, so if I decide on going for one of those instead of a music recorder, I'll probably be able to go pretty much anywhere I want and get a job, because there's always huge demand for jobs like that.

Also, Cradle is fun as hell. That would make an amazing multiplayer level.

So I think I'm going to ask out my female best friend tomorrow, or at least see how she feels about stuff. I really hope it goes well, wish me lots of luck guys. I really really like her.

And that's why I fucking hate when my parents (more so my mom) interfere with me. I damn well know as well anyone how bad smoking is, and how addictive it is. I chose cigars because they're not something you smoke like ciagrettes. They're occasional.

I bet a decent amount of people had "countdowns" when the SNES and super Mario came out. The whole pre-conceived notion thing is what basically leads to fanboys/girls. I just think it's funny when people compare Crysis and Halo 3, even tho theirs only been a beta out for Halo 3.

let me know if you're interested and we'll work something out.  I got the controller[and BM USA] for ~50 and the game obviously was at least 60.

class stuff

i kind of like my schedual better, however, what you posted is a ton better than 7-8 classes in a school day.

we had two groups in each grade, call them group A and group B

group a:
block 1
block 2
lunch
block 3
block 4

group b:
block 1
block 2
block 3
lunch
block 4

lunch was determined by where you went third block, hence the groups were determined by third block.

being in group b would kick ass, for me anyway.  block 1 would be an annoying accounting class, 2 would be senior writing, 3 would be a semi fun IT related class with my friends, after that, my day is easy.  lunch, art, home, i love it. 

however im not in school anymore, and i haven't got a call back from the place i got interviewed from, so i guess ill go in and check whats up tomorrow.

also, im in a very metroid mood for some reason (regardless im playing castlevania SotN, im still in that metroid mood) and i have been listening to the metroid ost for around an entire day now, reading all i can about metroid related stuff/games.  thinking i should play the original metroid on my metroid zero mission, but no map, and that game is rock hard, i don't think i have the balls to beat it.

Well, Despite being REALLY hungry by the time lunch came along, the Sr. Schedule is better for me, lol. Only having 1 class after lunch goes so quickly, and if it's a shitty class, then you don't have to worry about possibly having another class to sit through.

Oh, and I may not be doing much right now, but like vlad, I'm looking for work, and if I manage to get into Elcan, I think I'll probably really enjoy it. Plus, they pay pretty well, and we get TONS of benefits and such. That's how places like that work, they give you all sorts of benefits and such that supplement pay so that even though you're not making as much as some people might, you have all sorts of benefits and such that keep you happy. Plus, they'd be paying me better than most other places around here anyway, because regardless of the benefits, it's above minimum wage.

I want to sell my beatmania US controller +IIDX red + the stupid BM USA.  I don't really play them that often at all. 

let me know if you're interested and we'll work something out.  I got the controller[and BM USA] for ~50 and the game obviously was at least 60. Everything works perfectly fine, and i did a little plastic bag slipmat mod to the controller. So, like I said if you're interested, contact me.  I might even throw pop'n 10 in there too cause I'm cool like that.

Go find the Crissaegrim. The fight takes literally 3 seconds

shield is faster, i tested it, crissaegrim takes several seconds longer to kill dracula, and the shield does the same damage regardless of what level you are at.  i beat the game at level 47.

ohh and i got my ass kicked by riddley on the nes metroid, went at him with 70 energy and the ice beam, thinking of picking up the wave beam just to kill him =/

i would like the game alot more if i could farm up to max health, then just get my password, so i wouldn't have to start out every game at 30 energy and no full tanks.  but i guess thats what i get for playing the nes metroid on my metroid zero mission cart.

*edit* as for circle of the moon, for dracula, he isnt bad.  for his first form just use the cross over and over while avoiding his attacks.  and his second form is cake, when he charges at you, just keep super jumping to avoid it, when he turns into bats, when he is on your screen, use a summon spell, i prefer thunderbird, kills lots of bats, and makes dracula dead.

Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Ulti on September 05, 2007, 06:46:13 PM
I think the only reason that it sucks is because unless you really know a lot about games, and I mean a LOT, and about EVERYTHING, people will assume that you're an incompetent douche and treat you as such. I do hear that EB is way better than Gamestop.

In other news, operation went smoothly, i'm in pretty good shape so far. I've decided that I freaking love being anesthetized, and painkillers are freaking awesome. I got some pretty amazing pictures of me being an idort right after coming out of the anesthaesia. It's still too early to determine if it's going to be painful much or anything, and how swollen I'm going to get, so I'm going to hold off until this weekend when the worst of it is over and post a thread detailing my adventures, and photos, and such. Here's a teaser, though. This was taken almost immediately after I realized that I wasn't like, KO'd anymore, when my attendant left the room. I had trouble keeping my right eye open, and there's gauze in my mouth. My hair managed to get horribly messed up during the operation somehow, I didn't notice until I got home, so I normally don't look THAT silly.

Gamestop merged with them recently.

My best bud works at one one day a month to keep his renting priveleges. The only way that working at that store would suck is if the people that work there already suck.  The company in general is fine.. like I said the main rub would lie with your boss at that store +scheduling + it's not the highest paying job you could probably get.

Yes, which is the main reason that EB's started to go downhill. EB is a far better company than Gamestop, it's just that they're all one big mediocre-fest now. I'd rather just go buy my games at Target or something, where I know there won't be large lines (for medium-sized releases, not your Halo 3 line up for weeks garbage or horribly obscure games that you're lucky to find even at a specialty game store).

Except this store is really amazing. Its not very big, and as for scheduling it looks like I have lots of freedom.

Also the people there are pretty awesome too.

My other possibility is a place called Pixel Perfect and its all about pictures and frames and so on. The back is a giant room where you can get family pictures and such taken too.

And like I said, we'll just have to see how it all goes. I haven't heard anything bad about EB or anything, but whatever, I'll know soon.

As for ignorant asses, I know how to deal with them. And this is only my second job, and I did just move, so I'll take what I can get for now and move on when something better pops up.

Don't worry. Majority of people lose all their friends after high school. It's normal. I only have 1 friend from high school left and that's only because he came back here for grad school.

Most of my friends now are older than me (some even a full decade older). Sounds weird but I just don't seem to get along with my generation, which actually really sucks for dating but OH WELL

Yeah, only one friend that's the same age as me is still back, and even a friend who is younger than me is gone off to college (I took an extra year of grade 12, so yeah). It really sucks though, because my parents are making it hell for me along with the fact that I pretty much lost the few friends I had.

I really hope this doesn't get much worse, because the last thing I need right now is to become depressed.

I was drunk enough to think "What the hell are you doing?!" while saying whatever. I was basically at the point where I can think but I lose self-control.

In other words, I think I meant it. I've been denying a crush on her for a while, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head.

She's a pretty firm believer in "Drunk words are sober thoughts."

Well that all depends, do you actually care for her? Or were you just not to sure and the alcohol made you all happy.

How drunk were you? I don't get how some drunk people can manage to say stuff they didn't mean to unless they were drunk enough to start forgetting stuff. That, and how drunk people do stupid things.. I need to be pretty fucked up to be drunk enough to actually do something I wouldn't sober.

I've had a friend say "some kid died this way" (I fucking love that line) then jumped on a counter and was going to jump on some chick that was laying on a bed but fell and almost busted his face on a small table. I also know a guy who drunkenly put a hole in a wall and broke a sliding glass door. Shit happens.

Well, one of my friends, after say, 4 or 5 beers, is already getting to the point where he doesn't realize how he's acting, but I could have 2 or hell, 3 times that much beer and I'd still be in control. Until I'm drunk enough to black out, I'm going to be in control of myself, I may lose some inhibitions, but I'll still make the choice of my own free will. I just say "ahh fuck it" when I think about reasons not to do something, but I can still think "man, that's retarded, why the hell would I do that" to most things that are actually stupid.

So I finally talked to Kate about last night. Apparently she was obsessing about what I said as well. She told me that this happened at possibly the worst possible time, since her last relationship really sucked, and she really didn't want to date for a while because of it. She said she needs a couple of days to think it over.

We're going to eat lunch together on Monday. Based on my "past experience", I'm pretty sure I know exactly what's going to happen.

I played the beta enough. I've never really paid the series any attention and I don't plan on starting now. From what I played, it was exactly the same but with items that no one would use because they can just have a sniper rifle, sword and camo. I got it more for Eternal Sonata, Bioshock, Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, MotoGP07 (I like motorcycle racing games so sue me), Puzzle Fighter HD, maybe Worms, rent some Strangehold, The Darkness, and quite a bit more. I'll probably get it later though, but it can wait until after Christmas. I have enough to buy for now.

Yesterday went really well, spent the day with my girlfriend, hung out, snuggled, went swimming and what have you.

Also, Aldrasio, the SAME EXACT THING happened to me about a month ago with my old girlfriend right after we started going back out after being separated for a month. I was "a little bit" drunk and told her I loved her while we were talking online. Even though she pretty much knew I didn't stop loving her after we broke up, it was still a really stupid move on my part, and it kinda funked things up.

I set a system restore point, disconnected from Wi-Fi, and logged off of my password-protected account. I got past all of that to see if being drunk would affect how I played StepMania. It didn't, oddly enough.

Did you go to the Marvel Arcade or the Great Canadian Midway?

I think it was the Midway...it was the place with two levels (not like two floors, but one area was like a meter higher than the other) -- used to have a DDR Extreme with awesome pads in one section and DDR 1st Mix USA with so-so pads near a couple of Crazy Taxi cabs.

WOOT

I just got a call from Elcan. I've got a Pre-Employment test Thursday (this week or next, I'm not sure, and I need to call to make sure, lol)

I need to bring my Grade 12 Diploma and 2 or 3 work references (I haven't really worked anywhere before, so that's kinda a problem). I'll be bringing a copy of my reference letter from my teacher I got from co-op, hopefully they'll like that.

I found a formula for finding Pythagorean triples when the shortest leg is an odd number. I’ve found it works in every case I’ve tried as long as it’s positive. Technically, it even works for 1.

A^2 = B + C
B + 1 = C
A^2 + B^2 = C^2

3^2 = 4 + 5
4 + 1 = 5
3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

47^2 = 1104 + 1105
1104 + 1 = 1105
47^2 + 1104^2 = 1105^2

255^2 = 32512 + 32513
32512 + 1 = 32513
255^2 + 32512^2 = 32513^2

1457^2 = 1061424 + 1061425
1061424 + 1 = 1061425
1457^2 + 1061424^2 = 1061425^2

I found this in my English class while the teacher was lecturing about the Iliad. I think I like math too much.

Dude.
You like math too much.
that's badass, but still.

That is one reason I like math. Because no matter how you are taught something, you can always do it a different way. Math is infinite in how you can achieve something as long as you know the basic relations between numbers.

My teacher once taught us how to do something like this:
You sell x tickets.
y tickets are sold at $5
z tickets are sold at $10
You made $A from the sales
How many of each did you sell?

(of course, x was known and A was known)

I couldn't remember, so I noticed that the prices were a basic ratio, 2:1, and if you sold X tickets, it was simply a matter of applying the ratio.
I noticed this in about 5 minutes, after being completely blanked on a test. I still got docked marks for doing it wrong. Fuckers. I learned more about how to answer that sort of question than anyone else in the class. I learned the fundamental relationship between the price, the profit, and the number of tickets sold.

I could continue on a rant about how school is a perversion of the original idea of learning, but I think not.

If we sell C tickets at $7, and A tickets at $9 with a total of $530 in 68 tickets sold, how many tickets did we sell?

(c x 7) + (a x 9) = 530


Our formula is this. So, to solve:

(c x 7) + (b x 9) = 530

our formula must then become

(7 x (68

I've decided I'm going to start some sort of music project within the near future, hopefully.  Decided for it to be either Gothic Metal, Black Metal, or Deathgrind. 

Going to buy a decent microphone, and drum machine as soon as I can.  Getting a bass guitar is the hard part, as it's the most expensive.  :/

Zak: I think that's how the school wanted me to solve it. But i had blanked on the question, so I ended up using the ratio, lol.

I've decided I'm going to start some sort of music project within the near future, hopefully.

Awesome. Also, you can just use something like fruityloops or Adobe Audition to do the drums.. then you don't need to shell out for a drum  machine. And it's more customizable than a drum machine.

I found a formula for even numbers today, during the same class.

A^2 = 2(B+C)
B + 2 = C
A^2 + B^2 = C^2

8^2 = 2(15+17)
15 + 2 = 17
8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

34^2 = 2(288 + 290)
288 + 2 = 290
34^2 + 288^2 = 290^2

968^2 = 2(234255 + 234257)
234255 + 2 = 234257
968^2 + 234255^2 = 234257^2

5842^2 = 2(8532240 + 8532242)
8532240 + 2 = 8532242
5842^2 + 8532240^2 = 8532242^2

After finding this, I would randomly get out my calculator and say, "Give me a number, any number at all, and I'll find a Pythagorean triple with that number as one of the legs."

Most people were pretty impressed. Not that I could find the triples, but that I discovered simple formulas for finding them on my own. I think they were more impressed with my lack of anything better to do, though.

And, as I thought, those formulas aren't original. They're too simple to not have been discovered until now.

Also, football game went extremely well. Our team lost, but who gives a damn about that? Our marching band kicked ass. We played the first movement of our show really, really well, and there were thousands of (loud) people there, so the odds were against us.

I hardly ever got paranoid, the worst I ever got was walking home one night, the houses seemed to look creepy. Aside from that, I never got paranoid. However, I haven nearly passed out (not falling asleep, I was standing once when it happened) after doing poppers, or when I tried a jamaican shower.

I haven't even HAD any homework since my freshman year. So far this year (i'm on week 4 (or maybe it's even 5 now, I don't even know rofl) of the 6-week grading period and I've had two homework assignments- 1 being a 15-minute project for English on literary devices that I halfassed and got a 100 on, and a really fun Physics project that I actually chose to spend a lot of time on because I enjoyed working on it so much. That's it.

I work at EB Games now. The people there are all kinds of awesome. Decent staff discount too.

I have a 360 now. If I see one argument that something is better than the other I will hunt you down and kill you. I have had it with the console wars. You have no idea the customers that come in and argue with one another. One guy came in and asked for the PS3 and some guy was all "Dude don't be stupid" and the other guy was all "what are you talking about I'm not stupid" and a full blown argument was born right infront of some poor old lady who wanted to buy GTA III Liberty City for her grand son. Thankfully, the customers don't argue with us. Well, not that I've noticed, but I haven't had anything come up.

Also I get to work the night of the Halo 3 launch. YAY! Money!

I bought the 360 because its what I wanted, and I've had a great time with my old Xbox. I also got it because I wanted to finish Halo; I enjoyed the series, so why not? Along with it, I got Bioshock and an extra controller that was drawn on by Todd McFarlane.

I also own FEAR and its Expansion Pack.

Okami is one of the coolest games ever for the PS2. Really unique.

This has been my update post for the time being. Soon I will have internet, Gears of War, Oblivion for my lady friend and money coming in from multiple people who owe me money that have finally gotten around to paying me back.

If I drink hard liquor, I need to really watch myself, otherwise I get messed up.. Though that's only if I have enough to get messed up. Last time I had hard liquor, my GF and I split a bottle of Peach Schnapps (24%, and the stuff tasted amazing). Unfortunately, I ended up drinking some beer something like an hour or more later, and ended up getting sick. I was completely fine till I got into the beer. That sucked.

Also, Insomnia blows ass. I have that Pre-Employment test today, and I need to get some sleep, but DNAngel + Insomnia are keeping me awake. I even took some Nyquil, because I'm all stuffed up and shit, and I'm hoping it'll help get me to sleep.

The crap, Vodka's supposed to be completely flavorless. That must have been some cheap shit.
As far as I know Vodka's pretty much just supposed to be water and alcohol, and that's about it.
Though it does have a hell of a bite, which is bad for someone really susceptible to heartburn (fucking pop, I gotta stop drinking so much pop :/).
Then again, Grant's Scotch was the harshest thing I've ever tasted. It was like drinking varnish. Though it was oddly addicting. (Hey, at least you knew the shit was potent, it's kinda scary when you get alcohol that's so good you don't realize how much alcohol it has.)

Also, I highly suggest anyone interested in watching a good anime watch DNAngel. That was seriously awesome.

I was skeptical at first, but A) the intro song is absolutely amazing, and B) the story is really nice, actually. It was enjoyable, and the dramatic scenes really had power. It did actually bring me close to tears at some points, which is a sign of how impressive it is (anime only rarely manages that).

Either The Beer Store or the LCBO, lol. They account for almost all sale of alcohol in Ontario. And The Wine Rack on occasion. (some wineries and DIY wine making places account for the other little bit)

Well, out of the three guns that can kill in one with (without a head shot) theirs the bow, the boomer, and the shotgun, and you fucking spawn with the shotgun.

I'm starting to all because of the retarded amount of hype it's getting. I used to like, and be decent at halo 2 but the last few times I've played I've just been bored out my mind. Also the controls on halo 2 always seemed sloppy to me, like when 2 people get 2 close to each other and they spin around like 3 or 4 times each trying to hit the other person.

I never tend to be very close to people for very long. I found that most of the games my friends and I played in Halo 2 were really vicious. I used to get a TON of smackdown medals for finishing people off with my weapon as I ran full tilt emptying my clip into them, lol. It was a tactic that nobody else did, and was damn fun, too.

I out sniped a friend using the pistol in Boarding Action in #1 (he had the sniper, lol). I also mastered the art of throwing grenades into those little windows in the bunkers. Most of my friends thought it was impossible to even toss one across the level, so when they died because of one of those grenades, they were pretty surprised.

Although there were times where the game seemed kinda odd to me control wise, I actually found it a lot more fun than most other recent FPS games because it managed to have a complete in your face feel when you get into some heavy combat, but still managed a rather decent game pace (I never really got that "spawn just to get pwned by some sniper, or sprayed by someone just waiting to pwn you" or anything). The weapons didn't seem too messed up, except maybe the Assault Rifle being a total bag of shit.

I've never seen that happen. :/

I suppose something that could lead to that happening, though, are people using their Halo 1 sensitivity settings in Halo 2.  10 in Halo 2 is a lot snappier than 10 in Halo 1 (I use 10 in Halo 1 but I think I stuck with 7 in the sequel for that reason).

What about the one were they all get naked and the look at Jillian and go "...wtf"

I've never seen that happen. :/

It probably because of the already slow turning speed, and I increase it I cant aim at all. That and I hate console shooters, I feel retarded aiming with a joystick.

I spent about an hour today speedcubing, and afterward I remembered how much it stimulated my brain. It's a weird feeling, almost like my perception of time has slowed down because I'm thinking so fast. After it wears off, I have trouble thinking about anything, but it goes back to normal after 10-15 minutes. This only happens when my mind is out of shape, and I haven't really been speedcubing much for the last 6 months, so it's definitely out of shape.

Oh, that's okay.  My laptop really isn't much of a laptop.  The battery has six dead cells...problem being, it's a six cell battery.  It's really just a small, light computer at this point.

Word to the wise: letting your Li-Ion battery go too low too many times is a baaaaaaad idea.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on September 25, 2007, 01:33:24 AM
Lol, yeah. Also, Li-ion batteries keep the voltage up much better than other batteries when they get low, i guess when they finally hit the point that they drop, it can get stressful on it.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Spectere on September 25, 2007, 01:36:01 AM
Oh yeah.  They don't handle being discharged very well, especially when they start to age.  I guess it's good when you first get one to discharge it one or two times and fully recharge it but after that it's a bad idea.

I hear getting old batteries rebuilt is a better (and cheaper) alternative to buying a new one so I'm going to look into that.  Laptop batteries definitely aren't cheap -- a first-party replacement for mine is about $120, I think. :<

edit: i got this laptop from someone who broke it (dropped it).  The only thing i had to do was get it a new harddrive, and it worked fine. 120GB Western D. pretty nice.  like 80 bucks. shit son. Anyway,only other thing wrong with it is the battery, which I shall work on soon. 

But having Ubuntu is a nice change of pace from windows, even though it was a bitch to get the wireless NIC drivers on this thing.  All is a learning experience, ya know... . .

Heh, yeah, my battery is just as good as yours.  If I were to pull the power cord out of it right now it would shut off instantly.

And, wow, not a bad deal.  Given that it was dropped it's good that the screen still works.

Wireless NIC support in Linux is still kind of meh in my experience.  I wish some things were explained better, like how you had to download the firmware for the ipw2200 driver (took me some time to work out...blah).  There's also a lot of cards that don't have freely available firmware but for those you can generally use the Windows drivers via a wrapper.  It's moving along, at any rate.

And heh, I was thinking about going for an A+ certification but I never got around to it. :x

I'm going to need one of you goons who runs linux to explain to me sometime how exactly to get it set up and running properly, I've got an ubuntu boot cd and a spare partition that I'm planning to run linux on, but I'm not positive exactly how to go about getting everything to work. Particularly Beryl.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Spectere on September 25, 2007, 06:47:27 PM
I'm running lunix nao. :>  Horray for elinks!

I haven't installed Ubuntu in quite a while so I'm not sure how helpful I'll be (as a general rule, each distro installs in a dramatically different fashion).  I'm pretty sure they made everything graphical though.  Pop in the CD, boot off of it, and it should bring you to a live GNOME environment with an installer icon on the desktop.  It should be pretty simple to get going -- just tell it where to install itself.

If you don't have a free partition things could get a little hairy.  I don't know if Ubuntu includes an NTFS/FAT resizer.  If you're going to replace Windows, no problem.  If not, you're going to have to find one.

The GRUB boot loader will allow you to selectively boot from Linux or Windows.  Most distros set it up for you and Ubuntu is no exception.  The only thing you may want to change is what boots by default (it'll probably boot Ubuntu by default after a few seconds), but you should be able to easily configure that after the system is installed.

I wouldn't recommend using Beryl just yet because when I used it recently I had stability problems (when using both ATI and nVidia chipsets...especially the former).  It looks pretty but I don't think it's worth reducing your system's stability.

on a somewhat related note, using ati drivers in general may be a bad idea.

I was actually surprised that ati-drivers went in smoothly in my last Linux installation.  Usually I wind up spending an hour (at least) getting the driver not to crash my system on startup.

Of course, I did use the xorg.conf from my previous installation.  Maybe I finally got it to be "just right."

Quote from: Bobbias
(yay for dependancy hell)

Some distros are better than others.  Judging from what Tox said, Ubuntu is pretty good.  I've had very good experiences with FreeBSD's ports system as well as Gentoo's package mangager (which is similar to the ports system).

Debian is fine so long as you stick to the horribly out-of-date stable branch.  I made the mistake of attempting to use the unstable apt source and...wow.  It was a terrible experience.

Haha, well, yoper was really young at the time, stable, but still VERY young, so it hardly had any packages aside from the essentials. I ended up hunting down dependencies for like, 3 hours before giving up. I liked their package system though, because it could handle pretty much any format they threw at me.

Also: how well does Wine work?

Its compatibility list is a bit weird.  It's kind of a hit-or-miss thing.

From what I hear, it'll run Steam and HL/HL2 with a bit of work.  It runs WoW.  Neverwinter Nights, from some accounts, runs better via Wine than with its native Linux version (which is kinda sad).  IE6 and Office 2003 both work (I've used Word, Excel, and PowerPoint extensively under Wine, though some Office components don't run well, if at all).

Your best bet would be to check the application compatibility database (http://appdb.winehq.org/) on their site.  Also, bear in mind that some games, like the Quake series and the UT series, have native Linux ports available.  I've played Quake 1, Doom 3, and UT2004 extensively under Linux and they run just as well as they do under Windows.

Domain and range basically are the max and minimum values for X and Y if you plot that on a graph, and it's a function if any number in x gets a result without having 2 numbers give the same result and without any number coming out undefined.

I read that three times and I still don't get it, I had my best friend (who is a GOD at all forms of math) explain it to me and he couldn't get me to understand. I honestly have no idea why I can't grasp this concept, there's an extremely good chance I'm just overanalyzing it, like I do everything else.

Also, just got back from the hospital, my grandma is doing better, which is good.

I'm too tired to bother making a huge explanation, but basically, you're saying "the X value is always a Real number, it's always between this number, and that number" and the same for the Y

Really all your doing is telling whoever reads that what the largest number and smallest number that you'll ever find for X and Y.

Oh yeah, you're going to have fast speeds at colleges and universities, especially during off-peak hours.  A lot of campuses (and even local school districts) are connected via fiber now because the Internet is so widely used in education now (thank goodness).

You mean to write mods and the like?

Changes are applied directly to the PHP files in smf/Sources.  I'm not entirely sure how to get changes made directly to the PHP files to be made into proper mods, though.  I'm sure a basic diff-like tool exists for that.

I got Halo 3 on Tuesday. Its a pretty fun game. The graphics impressed me when I first saw them and still get to me sometimes.

Gameplay is a little different with the inclusion of the bumpers. You swap weapons with them instead of holding x, so it seems kinda weird, but it kinda works at the same time. New weapons are kinda nifty. The plasma turrets and the machine gun turrets can be broken off their stands, but one you break them off they only have a limited supply.

New usable items too, other than cloaking and overshields. Things like the power drain and regeneration are pretty nifty if you use them properly.

The fact that you have some allies other than the human race is kinda cool too. There is a big aspect on fighting with your people, its not all "you alone must save the universe." So far in the first few levels that I've played, I've always had some marines or Elites nearby. Its pretty cool to be working along side them.

So far I'm really quite happy with it, but you should really make up your own mind. I'm just one gamer :p

I think it would be kinda difficult to find the right item then get put into the right position to be able to use it. Some things like that big shield  almost seem useless. Now the turret kind of seems overpowering, unless you have a damn decent long range weapon or the sword. The graphics do look pretty damn good tho.

Woo, so I recompiled every package in my Gentoo installation because of the new versions of imlib and expat are binary incompatible with the previous versions (hence, breaking everything) and created a bit of dependency hell (i.e. couldn't recompile many of the packages that used imlib because they depended on expat, and vice versa) so, out of sheer annoyance, I just rebuilt it all overnight.

It took about 10 hours of straight compiling (the goliaths -- like kdelibs, gcc, glibc, among others -- take a hellaciously long time to build). O.O  But hey, everything works without a hitch!

I've given up for the time being.

Since I can't simply connect to the server from the MySQL client I downloaded, I have to write pages to do all the SQL queries for me :/ The only plus side I can think of is that I'll finally have written a useful page in PHP, an will have learned SQL. But seriously, argh.

I'm making pages to A) Create a table for the progress information for the game ("Task, Completion, Priority, and Workers"), And B) Insert or update the rows for it.

I'm not using AJAX or anything because my head will explode if I have to. If I used AJAX I know I could place all of this on 1 page.

My main page will have a section which will display the info on the project.

Also, is the Primary Key sequential or anything? I don't know much about it except that it's likely the best way to go about making my update function work.

Also, PERL would be the true techie hell. Not only is it worse than PHP, it's just plain fucking UGLY.

Yeah, it's probably set up so that only 1&1 web servers can connect to the MySQL server.

Still not sure if there is a safe, secure way to hook you and Kuroneko up with PHPMyAdmin or something similar...

Also, is the Primary Key sequential or anything? I don't know much about it except that it's likely the best way to go about making my update function work.

The primary key ensures that there is at least one unique value in every row of a table in a relational database.  I don't believe it's sequential by default; you may have to specifically set that column to autoincrement.  I honestly don't remember.

If you want to know what the primary key is actually used for, see the end of this post.

Also, PERL would be the true techie hell. Not only is it worse than PHP, it's just plain fucking UGLY.

Perl makes up for it in a way by how ridiculously powerful it is.  I actually intend to learn that.

The biggest problems with PHP are that (1) the language is a giant pile of kludges and inconsistencies and (2) you have to fight with HTML code to get all of the major web browsers to render your code properly.  In my experience with PHP I've pretty much come to the conclusion that it's just a bad language.

I think I'd actually have fun doing web applications with Mono/.NET, mainly because those languages actually make logical sense and don't feel like a giant workaround.

...

And now for my primary key explanation:

The primary key isn't a very big deal in single-table "databases" but when you start linking tables together it becomes incredibly important.

For instance, let's say you have two tables, users and posts.  The posts table has three columns -- id, message, and user -- and the users table has two -- id and name.  In both tables, id is the primary key.  Let's say, for the sake of argument, that our users table looks like this:

idname
0Spectere
1Bobbias
2Zakamiro
3Kuroneko

Now, what we want to do is link the two tables so that the numbers in the user column in the posts table correspond to the users on the system.  This, in effect, creates a one-to-many relationship between the users table and the posts table -- one user can create make posts.

Since the id column in the users field is set as the primary key, each row in the table must have a unique value in this field.  As such, this value will be used to link the two tables together.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the posts table:

idmessageuser
0Hey guys, what's up?0
1You smell funny.1
2wtf =(0
3Yeah dude, you're seriously rancid.2
4No joke.1
5...0
6...wait, what?3

With a bit of creative SQL trickery (that I don't feel like remembering at the moment) you can join the two tables together and pull all of the necessary data (message id, message, and username) with one query, essentially giving you this:

idmessagename
0Hey guys, what's up?Spectere
1You smell funny.Bobbias
2wtf =(Spectere
3Yeah dude, you're seriously rancid.Zakamiro
4No joke.Bobbias
5...Spectere
6...wait, what?Kuroneko

Had we used a column that could potentially contain the same data between two rows, the results could have been ambiguous.  The database engine does both the grunt work of ensuring that no two rows in a table have the same primary key and makes sure that the DBA doesn't do something silly like try to join a table by a column that could potentially have repeated values.  Thanks to MySQL doing a fine job in making sure that the programmer doesn't make any obvious mistakes, I'd have to say that working with SQL is the most enjoyable part of designing a web-based, database-driven, PHP application.



...whew.  I think I'm going to go to bed now.

Post by: Bobbias on October 01, 2007, 07:01:18 AM
Apparetly there's a pretty simple way to get the number to auto-increment, lol.

After thinking about it, I may use AJAX anyway. It'll be a cleaner solution, and require less pages for me...

Well, once I get the pages working, I'll recode them into AJAX, because I don't want to scrap when I've got going right now. I'm having enough trouble getting things working as it is, without introducing AJAX into the equation.

got to meet rick springfield, have him sign a guitar and a photo, and take a picture with him [$500]

totally worth it to see the smile on my girl's face and how stoked she was about the whole thing.  She's been wanting to see rick for a looooong time.  So needless to say it was quite a productive evening. har har

Apparetly there's a pretty simple way to get the number to auto-increment, lol.

Yeah, it's just a parameter that you set when you create the table, nothing big.

jesus christ

i HATE you

first porcupine tree, then infected mushroom? wasn't DT coming there too? die in a fire, we get NOBODY here in tampa ;___;

also, today was my girlfriend's birthday. we went to denny's after school with a few friends, but aside from that didn't get to do anything today for various reasons. i'm going to make it up to her later this week, i'm going to come over and watch ice age with her.

also, it seems like everyone i know is depressed lately, it's kind of rubbing off on me from time to time... otherwise, i've been really happy lately. and my finger still hurts, stupid sprain. i shouldn't be using it to type but whatever.

Forgot to bring the afro but anime club was made of faggotry and lulz. There were literally about 50 people there, and the 7 of us were there simply to laugh at all of the weeabooness. At one point my friend randomly asked everyone if anyone liked naruto, and this one freshman kid shot up his hand and yelled "I DO!!!" It was so funny, we all started dying of laughter. After that we just grabbed some snacks and bailed, it got pretty boring once the president of the club started talking about logistics and stuff.

PS I actually know the girl who started the club, haha. She's a friend of mine who just happens to be somewhat lulzy.

Also, I just woke up from a nap that I've been taking since I got home, and in just a short while I get to go back out the door to practice. 8)

My grandma passed away at 1 this morning. Me and my sister got to the hospital at around 2, and we stayed there with our family for about an hour and a half mourning and such. It was really, really sad, but at the same time we're glad that she finally doesn't have to suffer anymore (the past two weeks she's been in the hospital have been hell for her). We were all really close to her- she meant the world to her family, and vice versa. She lived a good, long life- she was 83- but we'll all inevitably miss her.

I ended up getting home at 4 in kind of a daze and then waking up at like 8 and going to school. I didn't really tell many people, just close friends. Oh, and funny story, when I went to the student services office at school (where you get a pass to class after coming to school late and such) I told the lady there that my grandmother had passed away, and she told me it wasn't an acceptable reason for an excused tardy. So on top of things happening, I walk into American History and get marked tardy, which counts against me. Hooray.

Meh, I wouldn't want to live forever. Plus the way I see it I'd rather get into "heaven" by going my own way rather then following some religion, but I mostly believe that when we die we no longer exist.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on October 04, 2007, 01:29:14 AM
Good to hear that other people are shunning the idea of following religion... As far as I'm concerned, every person is different, and we all need to find our own way through life. e can use religion to help us form our ideas, but ultimately, those ideas are our own, and we have a responsibility to decide for ourselves what our morals and such are... Following blindly allows us to be sucked into whatever pitfalls that religion has, as opposed to looking at everything ourselves, identifying those pitfalls, and avoiding them. Example, how the catholic church and some zealous followers are so against homosexuality... You'd think that when Jesus bids us to both "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" and "Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself" they would simply accept homosexuals and let God sort things out like Jesus told us to, not go on some stupid rampage citing Old Testament laws we haven't observed for years as their reason to condemn fellow humans... A smart and religiously conscious person would realize that even if they personally believe that homosexuals are an abomination, they should not treat them any differently because of Jesus' teachings...

Why do I always go into rants like this?

Also, since I don't have a belief, I do think that it is likely we simply cease to exist, though if there is something after death, cool.

I killed someone in Forge in Halo 3 by swinging a warthog into them and smashing them into a scorpion, which was covered in those gas tank things, which then exploded, killing everyone else.

Also, sadness for the passing. I've talked about my own familial deaths so you know that I understand how you might feel.


In other news, wednesdays are awesome because I know all of my customers and one of them is a very cute girl named Erica, who I remembered from the week before. She was really surprised and then thought it was sweet that I remembered what drink she liked. Next week, I may ask her out for lunch (I only work mornings on wednesday).

I also got awarded most eligible bachelor at work, which is actually sort of sad because my competition was the 30 year old diabetic and my friend Eric, who is gay.

I've decided to take up parkour.

And so the weeks of training begin. I really have to work on my arm strength, my legs are pretty good for now.

Today was my first "try" at it... Alycia and I went to a nearby school yard and practiced some rolls and climbing a pole. I did one or two shitty 180 vaults off a random metal rack that was sitting in the middle of nowhere, but thats about it. Alycia is better than I am at rolls already  :P. After a tiny bit of messing around we ran home.

Its a great way to be physically active, and its alot of fun too. I'm keeping a journal of it, making an entry every time I try something or screw around or whatever. I might bring a camera next time so we can tape eachother and learn that way.

So don't be surprised if the videos suck. I don't expect them to be anything grand for a while. I can hardly do a simple vault now lol. I'm just using it for practicing really.

If you really want to see what I'm doing, which isn't much, I might post some. Just keep that in mind.

Either way, It'd be cool to be able to have a collection of vids detailing your improvements as well.

I don't expect you to be able to jump over a 6 foot fence like the jump in that vid I posted, lol. (it must have been 6 feet minimum, and they jumped it without using anything except their own ability to jump.. that was insane.)

Wait, whozat? Lady friend? And is she doing parkour too, or just giving you moral support?

PS that's awesome, I wish there were places to do that here, but there literally aren't. I live in a suburban area that's only like 10-15 years old, so there are no old, rundown buildings or the like to use.

Yeah its easy to get hurt. Its easy to misjudge a jump or a landing. Thats why you just take your time like I'm doing.

Yeah shes my lady friend. And yes she is doing it as well.

The thing about parkour is that you can use anything. Go to a playground for practice. Theres one just 3 blocks away from here that has lots of stuff, poles, railings, benches, bike racks. If you think about, your choices are limitless. Its amazing what you can find at a park. My first thought when I went was exactly "shit what is there to do here." But I went on in there and tried climbing a pole and I realized that you can use just about anything.

leparkour is amazing, goodluck with that :)

Thanks. Its gonna be fun.

It sucks though, its pouring rain and -1 here... which makes it even harder to do in the dark. So no practicing tonight. We might do some rolls in the basement, and stretches and whatnot. We're looking forward to the end of the weekend though, its should be nice and sunny :)

Our director managed to push the performance time back to 2:45. Unfortunately, I got stuck in traffic for about an hour and ended up missing our performance.

It wasn't all bad, though. We got to see Duncanville High School's band. It has at least 160 people in it, so it was pretty amazing to watch. In their first movement, the entire trumpet line was tonguing 16th notes at around 132 bpm. The second started out with all of the brass buzzing a concert E, then a clarinet soloist started playing Flight of the Bumblebee at around 150-160, with the rest of the band playing all of the secondary parts. In short, their show was amazing.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on October 06, 2007, 08:16:09 PM
Well, the appropriate speed for Flight of the Bumblebee IS 150-160, as far as I know (I seem to remember hearing someone say that it was actually meant to be played around that speed, as opposed to the slower renditions that usually get played around 130-140.)

Yeah, a bunch of people from our band took the SAT and were late/didn't come to practice today. We have I think 67 people altogether in our band (including percussion and guard) and about a dozen of them weren't there. Yeah, we didn't get much done, and our runthrough of the show blew, mainly because there were so many holes and stuff. Our first competition is a week from today, so we really have to start practicing our asses off so we don't suck for it >_>

The director even added an extra hour of practice to our Tuesday and Thursday rehearsals this week for that purpose, and I thank him for that -_-

I'm the opposite. I'm pretty scrawny (130 lbs at 5'9" doesn't leave much room for muscle), and overall pretty nerdy, and I'd WAY rather manual labor over fucking retards. I wouldn't come home stressed out because I have to listen to idiots complain about their computer being fucked because of their own stupidity and such. I'd end up going nuts, telling them all to throw their computer out their window and go fuck themselves, where I'd just come home tired and sore from manual labor.

Well, it depends on both how many people we get, and what sort of people they are...

I check it fairly often, since it's the only site I check much, other than romhacking.net at the moment as well. The main thing is that some people here lurk a lot, which means that even though people are online, nobody's posting or responding to previous posts. I respond to nearly every thread and nearly every post that someone makes unless I either have nothing to say (rare) or I'm not online when the post is made (and any subsequent responses).

Also, me and my friend rode our bikes down to the park today to try doing some parkour. It went pretty well, we got vaulting (over a picnic table) down and practiced jumping up railings/fences some. We're gonna make it a regular habit to go down there and try some stuff, hopefully we'll eventually get pretty decent at it.

Also, me and my girlfriend apparently broke up. She still has feelings for her ex (who conveniently lives in ohio and is 3 years older than her, making any relations illegal) who is her "soul mate", or so she thinks.

I don't know if I'm upset or sad or mad about this yet. I don't think I'm any of those things. All I know is that I'm somewhat tipsy and need to wake up in a few hours. Night night :D

I fucking hate girls/guys that think that way, they "think" they have met their "soul mate" and will pursue them no mater what, regardless of logic. I have a friend exactly like that, who dated a guy for a short while, then hated him and thinks shes going to date him in college even tho he already has a girlfriend.

QFT, haha.

Remember the good ol' days, back on a0, when everyone would go all crazy if someone used 'QFT'? Good times...

Also, I'm pretty sure I've come to a conclusion: this is entirely her fault, but not necessarily her fault in a bad way (in other words, she didn't mean for this to happen). It just sorta did, and I was kinda sorta expecting it. I know she still really likes me, but her reasoning was that it wasn't fair to me for her to still like her ex and not completely be with me. And I agree with her, and I'm glad that stuff happened, but at the same time it really kinda sucks. Need to stay positive :x

Everything will work out eventually. That's the best part about teenage romance/drama, in just about every case, regardless of what happens, it'll work out in the end, and everyone will be fine. There are exceptions, but for the most part, that's the case. (Exceptions like someone runs away from home, or does something stupid due to depression. Running away with some guy and getting your life messed up, or greeting pregnant in a bad situation are generally the exceptions too.)

I was about the same with my grandma. We never really saw each other except for holidays, birthdays and family gatherings and stuff, but she only lives about 20-25 minutes away.

Lunch date didn't happen. Next week! I have to try to figure out some cute way of getting her attention. Paying for her drink and then asking if she'd like to join me for lunch would work too. She just has to get there before I have break. Next week is ideal because I only work until noon so I can wait around a bit.

There's obvious interest judging by our conversations. I just need to keep up my efforts.

However, I won't be surprised if she's just naturally a bit flirty and she's already got someone. I'd punch someone out over her and I don't really know too much about her.

Also, I should have a car soon. My old Escort kinda....died. The floor rotted out, gas line leaks, battery's dead, some other stuff. It's not worth paying the money to get the parts for it.

I'm just going to avoid her for a good few days until she calms down because christ, she's unpleasant around me right now. She's her normal happy self with everyone else, but of course whenever she sees me she's reminded of what she did and gets really mad at herself, and takes it out on me.

Practice blew for a variety of reasons. My friend slapped me really hard (granted, I did hit him first, but at least he deserved it) and it was really unorganized, which translated to us not getting anything done. It was also very painful to use my knee, which I had to do a lot.

Sorry for the ranting but I really needed to. Also, good news, my parents gave me $100 for good grades/the Jacksonville trip we're (marching band) going on tomorrow.

ps be back like Sunday

Well, my dad has a 2004 Grand Prix, and my mom has a 2006 Grand Am GT, I believe. She has a MP3-CD capable player, but only holds 1 CD, and doesn't have as nice a sound system in car as my dads, which is a 6 CD changer with monsoon subs in the back. My mom hates anything but the crappy commercial rock the radio plays, but my dad will let us listen to anything. Plus, he has the bass cranked. He used to play bass in a local band for a while, so he liked to be able to hear the basslines in his music. My mom's car has the usual smiley face setting for the EQ, but it's one of those default settings that blows, period.

I got my ACT score back today. I got a 27. I was hoping for at least 30.

The form I got also included my GPA, which is a lot higher than I thought. I mean, I figured because of my general lack of effort my GPA would be 3.0 at best, but apparently it's a 3.5, or 3.36 unweighted. Weird.

I guess getting into a college I want to go to is going to be a lot easier than I thought.

You people and your weird standardized testing, and GPAs and such. Here we do everything in %. Your average is all your classes for that semester averaged. Your overall final score is usually split like this: 70% of your final mark is your daily stuff, tests and such. 15% is a special project, and 15% is your final test. Of course, some classes don't have a project, and change it to 70% course work, 30% final.

Until you do the final, all the marks they send home are out of the 70%, so if you have a 50, that's 50% of the 70% final. You use that to figure out what you need to get on the final to pass. That system is kinda weird, but at least you don't have 25bllion standardized tests with all sorts of acronyms.

That system is kinda weird, but at least you don't have 25bllion standardized tests with all sorts of acronyms.

I think that system is more logical than the GPA/Standardized Tests here in the US.

I will give you all an example of how an SAT score is absolutely meaningless:

I got a 990 on the SAT (read: SHITTY SCORE), I had a 3.56 GPA in high school.

I graduated college with a 3.35 GPA (CumLaude, or 'honors').

I'm currently working on my own research in the university of massachusetts amherst, and odds are if this works, it will be published in a psychology journal (along side other studies that relate to the same topic, it will be a package of studies that make a point) and I might be credited as second author.

I will be applying to various social psychology Ph.D. programs this December.

So yeah, going back to that amazing score of 990, the words **the results of this test are highly correlated with one's success in college**...

I'm not bragging because I don't see it as something to brag about, it's just what I'm doing now with my life...in the end, I just wanted to give you all an example of how bullshit Standarized Tests are.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on October 12, 2007, 10:52:07 AM
Lol, wow. I checked wikipedia and noticed that 990 is somewhere around 40%... Wow.

But yeah, some people take tests well, while others are much more assignment oriented. I happen to a be a test person myself, but almost everyone I know is much more assignment oriented, which means I would probably have a much higher SAT score than they would, but I would likely not do all that well on a number of assignments and such in college. For some reason, I absolutely HATE doing large involved projects, I much prefer learning, and then doing a couple questions to prove I know it, and wait for a test. Which is why my scores look like this: Assignments, 20% due to missing 4/5 assignments, Tests: 75-80%

i think a perfect score is 36 on the ACT.. The average score is like 20.8. Basically, it's a standard test, but has some retardedly hard problems to create a curve of its own.
   
score/possible = percentage right. this would mean that the average score is 57%. Yeah. This is why.

Actually, A 21 is 56%, so 20.8 should be a 54% to 55% or so. It still makes me think that the US systems were designed by mentally handicapped people...

All in all: Standardized testing is stupid. We only really have 1 that's worth anything, A literacy test. Essentially, this is a pass or fail thing, (no "score" is ever given) and if you fail, it means that either you take too long to do the work, and got screwed by that, or you seriously need to become better at reading. If you suck at reading and writing, you fail. Failing means that you need to retake it (it's necessary to graduate) and you can take courses to help you. It's one of those things that you need to pass, and if you don't there's a problem.

There are a number things that you guys have (like, you know, colleges with good networks, considering all our schools are too cheap to get anything better than about 100 kb/s. Oh, and you guys get cool concerts, canada fucking blows for music.) But I'm just saying that I really don't see the point in all those tests. I prefer our system since it doesn't have those tests which really don't make sense. And I'm not trying to hate on standardized testing overall, because we have a standardized test which is useful.

I AM biased, since I live here, but I just don't understand anything at all about why they have so many of those tests, if their grading scheme is totally messed up, they aren't necessarily all that accurate, etc.

We had (have?) some tests that they give kids at grade 3 and grade 6 (not sure if they are still running or not) that were introduced with the literacy test being the final one, but they were pretty much just a ploy by the teachers to make people think we're getting smarter, by making each test easier. So it's not like we don't have our share of stupid tests, I just didn't mention them because nobody around here gives a shit about them.

And how close were you to those concerts? Most cool concerts are either in montreal/quebec or toronto. Neither of which I can get to, like, ever, because of the distance. The US has so many more cities that there's a much greater chance of a city close to you having a concert. If you look at the amount of cities in the US that a band does touring, VS how many in canada, canada has practically nothing, unless they're a canadian band and making a point to go through canada.




PS: Benny Benassi should not  be on that list....

Oct.18, Job for a Cowboy/Behemoth/Gojira/Beneath the Massacre
Oct.19, Puddle of Mudd/Saliva
Oct.23, Danzig
Oct.30, Underoath/Everytime I Die/Poison the Well/Maylen & The Sons of Disaster
Nov.3, Sevendust
Nov.8, Fuel/Trapt
Nov.11, As I Lay Dying/All that Remains/Haste the Day/Through the Eyes of the Dead
Nov.25, Papa Roach
Dec.5, Hellyeah/OTEP/Bloodsimple
Dec.30, Never Never

Note that these are only a few highlights, bands from genres that I know. (Not necessarily enjoy, mind you.)

No More Heroes looks amazing, has amazing ideas and will generally be insane.

So, I had more fun today playing Perfect Dark Zero than I ever have in Halo. Why did people not like PDZ's multiplayer? It's fucking hilarious. Not to mention the Jackal has the greatest tactile sense of any sniper rifle in any game ever. It looks like a .50 caliber rifle and the BOOM and subsequent WHAM when you hit something is unbelievable. And the game's like...$7 at Kmart.

Also, just borrowed Bioshock from a friend. Pretty sure it's all I'll be playing tomorrow, although I want to play more MotoGP 06 (which I also got for $7). Well, too bad for motorcycle racing I guess.

Speaking of MotoGP 06, I can't wait for 08. 07 looked better than 06 but it didn't seem like enough of a jump for me to pay $60 for it. I figure 08 will have the perfect framerate, amazing tracks and the most streamlined gameplay.

People are niggers. Most people like mainstream music (like that ballin song, fucking ew) so it doesn't surprise me.

Lol, I absolutely loved the original, but I mean, his stuff clashes with it, he doesn't even follow the same chord progression.

Also, somewhere around the lines of 90-95% of mainstream music is MUCH worse than the stuff that happens to be mainstream (maybe because it's true to the style, as opposed to being made to appeal to as many people as possible, even if that means making it lame).

Pretty much everything you said, plus you can use -c to continue broken downloads.  Not to mention that if you have a long-term download it's a lot lighter than having Firefox or whatever running.

ps spec, you really don't. I would have more, but my HD crashed, and havent been able to pay postage to return it. :\\

I know, it was more of a shock when I first looked at it.  I've been trying to clean up my 400GB drive because I've been running out of space and I quickly found that half of it was taken up by torrents (note that I have several other things, like MAME disk images and about 40GB of Amiga software, that was moved elsewhere). XD  So, in reality, that figure is more like 200GB, not including the unorganized stuff plastered all over my E drive (and the music on D (and my Linux drive (and the CD images that I have organized on C and F))).

I've been archiving my drive to DVDs lately.  I already burned six of them and went from having 5GB free to having 40GB free.  Woot!

Ultimately, I'm probably just going to have to get a big external one.  I can't connect any more drives into my system without a PCI card, and I'm not going to upgrade any of my IDE drives because odds are the next board I get will only have one IDE port.

Woo, rambling!

I saw some dual-layer DVD-R's at Best Buy that hold ~8.5 GB. When I get some money, I'll probably buy a pack and use those for archiving instead of regular DVD-R's.

Shitty having a 68.5 GB HD.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Spectere on October 15, 2007, 10:47:36 PM
I dunno, I'd probably stick with the regular ones.  Let's just say, I was able to buy 100 DVD-/+Rs for what I'd have paid for 25 dual-layer DVD-/+R.  It's really not worth it.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on October 15, 2007, 11:12:12 PM
Well, the plus side of getting dual layer is that you need less of them to back up your data, but the problem is that if you use them with any regularity, and they happen to get damaged, you are liable to lose a lot more data if it gets damaged. I'm terrible at archiving stuff on CDs or DVDs, so for the sake of actually keeping something, I'd like to get one of those networked storage systems if I can get the money for it.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Spectere on October 16, 2007, 12:18:57 AM
Sure, you need less of them to back up your data, but when you're only getting half of them for the same price, what's the point?  You're essentially paying twice as much per byte for dual-layer discs.  I'd rather save a good chunk of money at the expense of a tiny bit more physical space.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on October 16, 2007, 12:27:12 AM
I'm not debating the fact that they are more expensive, though I probably would sue dual layer DVDs just because I hate having to try to keep track of a bunch of CDs, and if I'm actually archiving on something like a DVD, I'm gonna keep them in one place. I'd rather have the space to archive something like an entire season of high quality anime + a movie on 1 disk than to start splitting things up.

Anyway, I'm more likely to use networked storage anyway because I like immediate access to my storage, as well as the security to know that it's on something like a harddrive, which I find can take much more of a beating than a CD. We're not good at keeping disks in good condition.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Zakamiro on October 16, 2007, 01:13:35 AM
This is why I bought 200 DVD+R discs and 50 DVD-DL . Well, mostly because Netflix + dvd burner = an epic combo, but I only got the DL ones for discs that would NEED it.  I really don't want to have to use DVD shrink to put an 8.4 GB disc onto just a 4.7 GB disc. (even though the program works extremely well and I am more than impressed with it) Anyway, I doubt anyone has any unbreakable files/folders that are larger than 4.7 GB. torrent folders can be broken down to single torrents, etc. And yeah, bobbias pretty much summed it up, too... While it may be nice using less discs, you're still putting all of your eggs in one basket. Remember, your invaluable data is riding on a piece of plastic with shiny piece of silver/aluminum on the backing about 10 pieces of paper thick. XD.
Scratches and data CDs do NOT go well together at all... In fact, I have about 7 or so windows XP discs burned (I claim fair use..........) simply because the windows installer had read errors on the disc (and just misplacing the CDs, or not knowing what the disc was later because i didnt care to label it)... And I'm talking about right off the spindle, directly into the burner, eject, into the other computer. Usually when I was fixing up other people's computers, I'd bring two of them, just for that reason. heh. But anyway...

Well, if you look at the size of song long running anime, I've found a couple anime that are 10+ GB for the entire show, and I hate the idea of having that extra 3rd DVD there. I'd probably use a DL and a normal DVD together for something like that, and package in the OSTs and such with it. I can get pretty creative on how to fill things up. Though there are few anime that are that size. Even the high quality releases from k-neko fansubs which are HD rips are only 170 MB each, resulting in about 2 GB for the entire 12 episodes of Zero no Tsukaima II.

Nice work with the install disks. I don't have any blank CDs right now or I'd DL myself some as well. We're always having trouble finding the CD.

Sadly enough, though the layout caused me to get pissed a couple times, my Microsoft keyboard works quite well too, and looks like it's possibly more solidly built than all the logitech keyboards I had. My only issue is the squashed insert etc. section. They decided to make it 2 wide by 3 high instead of the other way around, and moved the print screen etc. buttons over beside the F12, which means that instead of home and print screen being vertically aligned, scroll lock is above home. Nice, now my instincts are fucked and more than once, I managed to go into the options menu in stepmania because of that "feature" which makes me hit scroll lock instead of fucking print screen. Oh, and fuck you to whoever made the scroll lock button the "operator" button. That was a stupid idea in the first place.

I like my logitech mouse, though it's beginning to stop moving randomly (which my mom thinks is because the mouse pad is so dirty).

Well, I was referring to the "discrepency" between real GB and GiB. 50 GB (or GiB) between the industry value VS what your computer reports is quite a bit. I know it is still actually 50 GB, but I'd have rathered that the industry use the binary system, since computers are binary machines... I realize that GiB is technically the wrong system, but since nearly every bit of memory you'll have to deal with is measured in GiB about 90% of the time, you'd think that it would make more sense to make your memory in GiB than GB...

The reason sticks of memory and the like are measured using binary measurements is because they have to be measured like that by design.  Additionally, not many people actually look at how much RAM is in their computers.

When it comes to hard drives, there's absolutely no excuse for utility developers to be stuck on binary measurements.  Computers being "binary machines" has absolutely nothing to do with it because in that aspect we're dealing with personal data.  Humans do better with systems based on ten because that's what our numbering system is based on.  It's less confusing for everyone.  After all, do you seriously think that doing a size comparison based on a unit 1024^3 large is easier than doing a comparison based on a unit that is 1000^2 large?  Not only is it a glaring user interface issue ("oh, well, this program says it needs 4GB of space.  I have over 4,000,000,000 bytes, so why won't it install?!") but it goes against the entire metric system, which has been in place a hell of a lot longer than personal computers have been.

So, long story short, operating systems should either properly report sizes in binary figures (using KiB, GiB, etc) or switch to the proper metric form (i.e. KB = 1000 bytes, MB = 1000 KB, etc).  None of this "half-way" shit that they're pulling now.  All it's doing is causing grief for everyone.

It's like trying to claim that the Imperial measurement system makes more sense than the metric system.  Yeah, 12 inches to a foot, 36 inches to a yard, etc.  Using the binary system's 1024 bytes to a kilobyte, 1048576 to a megabyte, 1073741824 to a gigabyte when a much simpler, more logical, easier to grok system is in place is just lunacy.

That is so ironic coming from an American. That made me laugh very hard spec. I really have to wonder why the US hasn't smartened up and switched to metric already, there are only what, 3 countries in the world not using the metric system?

In any case, it would be a lot better if this whole issue was corrected somehow, because it is really annoying not seeing 750 when you clearly have 750 GB of data. I guess I'm sorta like the people who oppose the metric system just because it's different. I wouldn't really care too much what they did as long as they cleared things up more tan they are now. I can make the switch to using a base 10 system just as easily as I'm used to reading hex values and working with the base 2 system. (well, easier really, since our native counting system is base 10.)

I just wish that ISO or IEEE or whoever has dominion over this issue would issue something to try to get everything on track in some system that makes more sense.

All those european countries changed over the the Euro, even at the expense of fucking a lot of people's lives up (portugal's economy got royally fucked. An escudo now is worth like, nothing. The person I was talking to said she could live on 1 or 2 escudos a day before, and now she spends almost 5 euros a day, and euros are worth quite a bit more than an escudo was worth). If all those countries could change their currency, then obviously the US can easily change over to the metric system. It's a lot less likely to destroy their economy than switching to a different currency...

You think all the countries that use the metric system used to use it? They pretty much all had to change at one point or another.

It'd be a very hard changeover.  Granted, a lot of things have been in place for years to facilitate the change if need-be (for example, cars with both miles per hour and kilometers per hour on the speedometer).

The biggest hurdle the people, as with anything else.  Even with people around my age, who had been taught the metric system in school, would have a problem with it because everything would suddenly turn upside down.  As someone who's traveled a fair amount (it's a 5.5 hour drive to my parent's house and I've gone back and forth several times...not to mention the regular hour trips to visit pyroko and Jinxie when I lived in Ohio) I'm used to thinking of long distances as miles.  Not because they make more sense, per se, but because everything here is measured in miles.  When you print directions on Google Maps, MapQuest, or whatever, it reports the distance in miles.  When you travel, you look at the odometer on your car which, here, is given in miles.  When you're approaching an exit on a freeway it gives the distance to the next exit in miles.  When you're tracking where you are on the highway, there are signs every tenth of a mile.  Basically, in every single instance where you'd think of a kilometer, I'd think in a mile, simply because it's impractical to do it any other way.

Another giant hurdle would be cost.  You know all of those signs that I mentioned?  Mile markers, highway signs, signs telling you how far to go to the next rest stop, everything.  All of that would have to be completely replaced.  For an effective changeover it would all have to be done very quickly at great cost to the government (in other words, taxpayers).  There would also be great corporate expense as companies changed all of their internal documentation and the like to reflect metric measurements if they haven't done so in the past.

To elaborate on one of my previous points, you really can't compare it to a currency changeover.  Currency changes are not quite as psychologically set as distance changes are.  I could move to the UK right now and I guarantee that the move to metric would screw me up more than a change in currency.  Also, keep in mind that the United States is a hell of a lot bigger than any of the European countries.  We have a humongous web of roads and highways that would all require a great deal of work.  I don't really know enough about Canada to compare the experience with it, but perhaps this will make you see my point a bit more:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider)

Soon after Canada changed to the metric system, a commercial airplane was loaded with an insufficient amount of fuel for its flight.  Had the pilot not been an experienced glider pilot with enough skill to get the huge Boeing to the ground safely, 69 people would have been likely been dead due to the switch.  Given that a 125 million dollar spacecraft was already hosed by unit conversion issues (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter) -- with rocket scientists at the helm of the project, no doubt -- it's not a stretch to think that this could happen again.  Many times.

Just something to think about.

I just wish that ISO or IEEE or whoever has dominion over this issue would issue something to try to get everything on track in some system that makes more sense.

As shown here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix), the binary prefixes were standardized back in January 1999 by the IEC.  Additionally, those prefixes are also backed by the likes of IEEE, CIPM, and NIST, and is set to become a European standard.

To end on a humorous note (taken from the "binary prefix" Wikipedia article that I linked to), Western Digital got the last word in when one of their customers sued them for being "misleading" about the storage capacity of their drives (which is probably why you see "capacity based on 750,000,000,000 bytes" or something similar on the packaging of hard drives now).  They were, as companies generally are due to legal costs, basically forced to settle.  On the footnote of the settlement, they wrote: "Apparently, Plaintiff believes that he could sue an egg company for fraud for labeling a carton of 12 eggs a “dozen,” because some bakers would view a “dozen” as including 13 items."

For the full document showing the details of the settlement, go here: http://www.wdc.com/settlement/docs/document20.htm (http://www.wdc.com/settlement/docs/document20.htm).  It's actually a good read.  Western Digital clearly put their most sarcastic lawyers on the case for that one -- good for them.

GiB -> GB and GB -> GiB isn't a big deal. I mean, if you ask anyone if they care, they more than likely won't know. But from a technical standpoint, it might be. But, from ANOTHER technical standpoint, a main goal of modern computing is to make things as simple as possible for the user. And if they don't know the difference between GiB and GB, then mission accomplished. It's seamless enough.

My point is this: If it's not (too) noticeable for most end-users, it shouldn't be worried about. It's bad enough there's people out there still trying to check their email and edit images with MS Paint. [THINK WEBTV/MSNTV.] Seriously, there's no need to "TURN ON THA FUCKIN' REVOLUTION MACHINE, WE GOT SOME USERS AND BYTES TO SAVE FROM THE OPPRESSED WORLD."

Yeah, it is pretty stupid Macro (http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000240.htm)shaft isn't following the newer conventions and uniformity, but the storage capacity is still the same, it just looks different to the user. Seeing as how Vista was just released (and to the best of my knowledge hasn't changed this since XP), it may be a matter of years until they finally incorporate it into the OS. (I doubt they'd put it into a Service Pack... Imagine the users calling them and saying, "WHAT THE HELL WHY ARE ALL OF MY FILES BIGGER?!"--Not to mention possible software incompatibilities. (which means even more incompatibility for Vista))

Since it seems to be only MS that doesn't want to "get with the program" (no pun intended), there should be no real cause for concern. Perhaps they just kept binary for the sake of matching previous windows'. It's not like this hasn't come up to the programmers, everyone there knows about it, and choose to do it. They have a reason for it.

Perhaps there will be a future fix for it, perhaps there won't. Oh well. There's plenty of better shit to bitch at microsoft for, let's focus on those. This issue just isn't important enough for major concern IMO, and I've heard enough.

Okay, now why is everyone blaming Microsoft?  The entire software industry has been slow to switch from the old standard to the new standard.  It has nothing to do with Microsoft.  The developers of OS X's Finder, KDE's Konqueror, and numerous other file managers are equally at fault.

The old method is still a valid way to do it, it's just not a very good one.

Post by: Spectere on October 18, 2007, 03:09:34 PM
Not everything in Linux uses the old standard.  fdisk, for example, uses the new convention (i.e. it picks up my 400GB hard drive as being 400GB, not 372 "GB"), and I believe GNU coreutils also does.  I think GNOME has been changed to match the new prefixes (that or it properly uses the binary prefixes now) and I think KDE is set to do that for 4.0.

That's the thing, though, there are a lot of programs that need to be converted over.  You can't lay blame solely on Microsoft, or Apple, or anyone.

So our band definitely just kicked ass at a rather large competition just now, coming in first place out of all of the bands there. To put things into perspective, we scored an 86.72 (out of 100), and exactly a week ago we scored a 76 at the competition we went to. Our performance was so godly, and we won best percussion, among other caption awards.

I don't get a buzz from cigars, lol. I just like the flavour, and smoking them in general. There is less risk of cancer from them, (though there still is some), and you don't really fill your lungs with tar like cigarettes (since you generally don't inhale them), so they're somewhat healthier. Plus, you don't tend to smoke as much overall as someone who smokes cigarettes.

I have tried cigarettes before, and hated it. Plus, you really do get cravings and such. Even after a couple puffs, I had cravings afterwards, whereas with cigars, I've never had a real craving for another or anything, I just smoke them when I feel like it.

Remember how Zakamiro and I said that wget kicks ass?  Here's the biggest reason why:

(http://www.spectere.net/graphics/wgetrocks.png)

I don't think more needs to be said, really.

I have tried cigarettes before, and hated it. Plus, you really do get cravings and such. Even after a couple puffs, I had cravings afterwards, whereas with cigars, I've never had a real craving for another or anything, I just smoke them when I feel like it.

IANAS (I Am Not A Smoker) but as far as I know cigars have much fewer additives in them than cigarettes do.  They definitely don't have the same uber-addictive properties that cigarettes do.  My mom has been a cigarette smoker for most of her life and she gets physically ill if she doesn't have a cigarette.  My dad, however, is an occasional (read: few times a month, tops) cigar smoker and he has absolutely no problems.

Based on my experiences from the sidelines, both have the potential to be hideously repulsive or so-so.  I've smelled some really bloody AWFUL cigars before (I still have flashbacks to when this one old guy was standing behind me smoking a particularly odious one while I played DDR...ugh), I've smelled some pretty decent ones.  I've smelled cigarette smoke that made me want to cut my nose off with a switchblade and I've smelled other ones that have a much smoother, less repulsive scent.  What it all comes down to is this: nothing is worse than ultra-cheap tobacco-based products.

Post by: Zakamiro on October 21, 2007, 08:18:47 AM
I'll smoke once and a while... Perhaps a cigarette every week to 3 weeks. I primarily do it for the lulz. Sometimes, you just get in the mood for a little something special. Smoking helps to relax, and to just ease your nerves a bit. Anyway, Black and Milds are pretty good, and swishers are kinda meh. Swisher strawberry may *smell* like strawberry when you smell the cigarillo, but smoked, you can hardly taste what might be considered strawberry. If you really like tasty things, smoke some shisha in a hookah or bong, or any other apparatus that allows you to smoke damp tobacco. Extremely flavorful, and unbelievably smooth. Optimo's are the tastiest cigarillos I've had, and they taste a lot more like their fruity counterparts much more than swishers or similar things that I have experienced. Primetimes are kind of chalky and thick, and still not a whole lot of flavor...

Anyway, if/when I buy a pack, it's been Marlboro Smooths. They've been out since only march, but they are just like what they say on the package, "uniquely rich and smooth". They're menthol, but with a mint taste... Think of Andes mints. The 100s are a little lighter than the kings, and only hit as hard as the kings when you get near the butt of the cigarette from the refry. I'd definitely recommend hard-packing the 100s, Kings are fine with the stock looser packing.

cloves are ok, it really depends on which variety you get. They burn very long, you can usually piece one with two people no sweat. The smoke is thick, (doesnt really taste like it, though) which makes them great for blowing smoke rings... xD kreteks will piss a lot of people off though, so yeah. Oh, and they cost like $6.50/pack here instead of marlboro's which cost about $3.60.

As far as cheap cigarettes go, GPC's, sundance, and winston (although not cheap, but still suck) smokes are crap. For a really good cheap cigarette, basics make a good choice. Basic cigarettes are just what the name is. Basic. I'm trying to think of a way that can convey Basic as being "basic", without sounding like it sucks.. I think "traditional" is the best way to put it.

Rolled smokes are ok, I'm not so much of a fan on TOP, but bugler makes a great pick, you can score a bag and papers for only $2. Worth for about 30 smokes or so.. Not a bad deal.

I don't want to sound like the antithesis of the D.A.R.E. program to you guys-- you know, the "lol come on! TRY SMOKING!! LOL!!" But honestly, if you're curious, try it. One won't kill you. Hell, you could get addicted and die from lung cancer, but it's not like there's a chance other shit will kill you first. You only live once, and it's worth a shot. It's just something to experience, that's all. I don't really think there's a way to describe what it's like to smoke for those of you that haven't, but then again it's kinda hard to really explain anything related to that really feels. (see drunkenness, being high on weed, etc.)

ummmmmmmm...... yeah, there was more I thought I had wanted to say, but I guess not.

That and if you smoked close to the same amount of of cigars that some people to do cigarettes you're jaw would rot off. Also I think their less addictive because you don't really inhale cigars.

Post by: Bobbias on October 21, 2007, 05:40:31 PM
That is true to some extent. Also, part of the reason that cigars are less "potent" than cigarettes is because they are not dried the same way. The drying process that the tobacco goes through for cigarettes causes them to essentially have more nicotine than a cigar's tobacco. Nicotine is EXTREMELY addictive and also EXTREMELY poisonous. It can kill you in concentrations as low as 0.5 - 1.0 mg/kg. Another factor that people rarely ever her about is the fact that tobacco in any form contains well known carcinogenic radioactive particles. I don't feel like summarizing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_tobacco_smoking#Radioactive_components_of_tobacco

Now while this is true, I still smoke cigars on occasion because as Zak said, you only live once, so why not experiment once in a while? That's why I smoke pot once in a while (It's been 9 months since last time though.) I'm also looking at possibly trying shrooms or other hallucinogenic drugs.

It's a way of classifying in order to better understand. When you run a statistical analysis of a completely uncategorized group, you get very random results on anything, but if you can categorize those things, you can learn more about both the category, and can use data collected over numerous subjects all exhibiting that specific category.

Though it is not very successful, it is possible to change a person's personality, as long as they are willing to help themselves, as in my cases, these personality "categories" are dangerous to the people who exhibit them, or to people around them. The meaning of the word "disorder" is that things do not function as they should be expected to in a normal human being. If someone's personality is different than a statistical "normal", then they potentially have some sort of disorder.

I understand where your comments are coming from, but being able to categorize, and therefore statistically analyze a person's personality, you can gain a better understanding of how they can to have that type of behavior, and possibly, how they can correct it, as many of these "disorders" are known because they are destructive behavior.

Obviously, someone with HPD has a number of acts that tend to undermine their ability to have stable relationships, which generally leads to a greater likelihood of developing depression. If you see the point of life as being happy, then many of these actions directly or indirectly undermine the exact purpose of life as well.

I see things like these as almost being "programmed" in the sense that they do not fulfill the normal expectations or goals that would be expected in a person. Instead they are a reaction to some sort of stimulus or are "programmed" through genetics, and either way, aren't a rational response.

They tend to view things in a twisted way, which undermines their ability to deal with life in a rational and proper manner. In this sense, it is something that should be corrected, if possible, to increase the person's life, and those around them as well, because HPD affects more so, the people with close relationships who may care more than a regular friendship would cause them to.

Anything new and super exciting been happening here?

Not much, the usual. (Highschool drama and such.)

Hope you're feeling better (though I assume that's the case, since you're here, and you tend to withdraw when you're not in a good mood.) In any case, welcome back, I was beginning to wonder where the hell you went.

I'm back in May-rillind now.  wewt

Spec, 400k? holy shit. d00d, your xboxstat.exe runs on 5.69 times more allocated memory than that, and it's only 2,276K. (compare to my firefox at 154,236K, Azureus at 83,444K or pidgin at 75,700K.) Shit, it's a little under 8x the system idle process. and that's like, extra fantasimo small.

I love wget.

Oh yes. :)  Not to mention the whole thing where it doesn't hammer the CPU while downloading.  DownThemAll for Firefox makes the system have an aneurysm when you finish downloading a large file.  wget just saves as it goes.

I'm a server admin for the network that the s.net irc channel is on, now. thetree.phazenet.com IS GOOOOOOOOOO.

Grats! :D

Hey I'm back.

Hiya! ;D

I haven't really seen any freeware/FOSS software to convert bins to imgs after a quick search, but I did find something that converts bin to ISO, which your emulator (which I'm sure you're only using to play your own PSX games ;)) might like better:

http://es.geocities.com/dextstuff/cdirip/down_iso.html (http://es.geocities.com/dextstuff/cdirip/down_iso.html)

It's a command line utility but you might be able to get away with just dragging the BIN file on top of it (since it doesn't require a second parameter) if you don't want to get your hands dirty.

I have magicISO for that, but the iso didnt run at all and on bins it plays only the sound effects but no music or VOs.

It runs fine, just the lack of music bothers me.

Guitar Hero 3 is terrible. Expert mode consists of them throwing random triples all over the place. There are maybe 5 or 6 really excellent songs (Knights of Cydonia being one of the best).

DOS stuff, what else? ;)  It's not even set to boot into the GUI by default anymore.  The main reason that I'm using Win98 for DOS is because it supports FAT32 (which my hard drive basically needs so that the cluster size won't be a complete joke) and because it's a HELL of a lot more stable than FreeDOS (then again, running Windows 95 on a system with gobs of spyware, bad memory, a bad CPU, and a dying PSU would lead to more stable performance than running FreeDOS. period).

There's also some awesome games that don't like Windows 2000/XP very much...like the Monster Truck Madness.

Spit in their face and thank them for the help, Also I keep having these crazy ass dreams. One of them I somehow got into jail and was threatening to eye gouge a big ass guy who was about to fight/rape me, then in the other one I went camping with my family (or something) then their was a car my friends in it and we where hanging, then we where at a huge party, like my family and everyone I knew was their, and I had to swim threw this moat thing in the middle of the house to get to the driveway, then some chick who was on my school bus tried to get me to smoke a bowl, but then she stuck a light sparkler in my face, after that I walked to the road and looked for my car. Also during that whole secound dream at random times I would start to not be able to talk or even walk and was basically crippled until I laid down on the ground for a little bit.

Yesterday was our school's band competition, we hosted 14 bands from across Florida who competed with each other. Our band members had to all help out with escorting the other bands around and stuff. Me and my friend, however, got bathroom duty. Although easy, it was still rather disgusting at times. I am not a giant fan of our school's bathrooms.

Oh, and a bunch of my friends and me all went to Denny's afterwards (I didn't get home until 1) but we were all mostly too tired to be interesting, so it sucked.

im thinking about making a iidx video.  i plan on playing a 10* song on distorted, but i don't know which one i should play.  i would like to play something i can score at least a B on, and nothing that looks too easy.  what to choose....hmmm.

also, i don't know how i would get it taped and whatnot, so if i do decide, it may take a while to tape and upload.

*edit*

heavenly sun [a]
zenius i vanisher [a]
lovely storm [a] (ok maby id pop in happy sky)
dc fish [a] (if you like boarder clears, lawl)

these songs are challenging to me, and i would think they would look fairly impressive to pass due to nice consistent note streams.  but yea, ill have to think it over.

k i think ill practice lovely storm [a] as it's an 11*, ive passed it once....and it gets pretty damn crazy.

Well, it's challenging, but I've seen a lot of the expert charts, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, after hearing what he said. I'd probably have a lot of trouble on pretty much all the expert charts, but that just means that if they made the hard charts much better than GH2's, I'll have hard and expert to work with.

Making the game harder helps everyone because as long as you keep some easy songs, new players can learn, and for everyone else, there's a lot more room for improvement.

Try playing expert on GH1 and then switch to GH2, you'll nearly shit yourself at the difference in difficulty. I guess the some goes with GH2 to GH3. Oh, and DDR did the same thing when it came out, lol.

Joey carved a spider web.
Kate carved a few musical notes.
I carved the formula for finding the derivative of a function.

My initial suggestion was that we put our 5 pumpkins together and do a longcat thing, but Carrie strongly objected.

I'd definately get GH3. I care less for the new art style, but the little animated shorts between song sets in career mode are great, and the songlist is nothing but killer. The ratio of awesome to crap is significantly higher than in the other games, and if you've played Guitar Hero before, the expert charts aren't going to be THAT much worse than they've been.

because you don't need anything faster than 1,000 BPM?

say you need 1,200 BPM.

Make your song in 600 BPM, but instead make the quarter notes in 1,200 BPM as 8th notes in 600 BPM.

Wow I hope people weren't looking forward to playing drums in Rock Band. The Best Buy near here set up their demo unit while I was there (looking for Virtua Fighter 5 and failing to find it sadly ;_;) and so I was the first one to try it around here.

Right off the bat, the pads were randomly dropping notes and being fairly unresponsive. If you hit too hard, it either sets off the other drums (possibly could set off the 360 home button, which would be frustrating to say the least) and gives you a miss or you don't register at all. Even with that, the songs on Expert were all extremely easy. It was like playing on maybe the upper levels of Basic on Drummania. Graphically, the game's pretty lame too. The look of the notes seems like a more sterile Guitar Hero, almost like a sim. The band on stage ran at a pretty choppy framerate and won't impress anyone.

There also didn't appear to be any way of sorting by difficulty that I saw. Songs were just sorted by genre (oh hey how many ways can you sort ROCK).

I don't think anything on GH3 is retardedly difficult except the Dragonforks song. I didn't have any problems passing anything on that besides Raining Blood, and that's because it has this absurd section in the beginning. Even the solo in One was short enough that I could BS my way though it and survive.

Yeah, is GH3 worth getting? I've never owned a GH game but 2 was quite fun. I just don't know if it's worth shelling out a hundred bucks for.

Also, I don't know about you guys, but my halloween kicked ass. I went to a party with a whole bunch of my friends, many lulz and good times ensued. Also, my new car is awesome, and really fun to drive. It has a lot more personality than my mom's sterile 2006 Impala. The only downside to it is that I can't play CDs or hook up my Zune, but smooth jazz on FM radio is a fine alternative. Or I could just find some good cassettes...

P.S. Bobbias, Mr. Jing may have a different bodily setup so five hours may be pretty harsh on him. Personally five hours is pretty fine if I can survive the first hour or so of being awake. Getting too much, however, fucks me up. Twelve plus hours makes me depressed and tired the whole day.

Same here, lol.

I can't handle hard liquer. I can drink tons of it, even though it tastes like ass (some of it anyway), but it's the effects about 10 minutes later that are a problem. I'm getting more into quality beer, like Guinness, cream ales, and such. I absolutely LOVE Guinness. Oh, and I suggest you try Peach schnappes if you don't like the hard flavour of hard liquers, but still want to get drunk. It's 25% here, so it's weaker than other hard liquers, but it tastes amazing. It's really sweat tasting and pleasant. My girlfriend and I downed a 26er in one night and I only puked because I had some cheap beer later on (hours later, but I was still mostly drunk, because I'd had a good 3/4 or so off the bottle, lmao.)

How was it, I've been thinking of watching that, but I'm in the middle of a couple here (sola and revolutionary girl utena, and shakugan no shana 2).

How are those? I only watch Death note and blood+ (yeah, adult swim is the wrong place to find good anime).

Well, the art in utena is enough to make some people not want to watch it (it IS 10 years old, and many of the people who worked on sailor moon also worked on it), but plot wise it's really good. I absolutely love the Shakugan no Shana series, because it has the perfect combination of shounen action and all that (and a badass back story too) but it does have some shoujo elements (love triangle and all that). The art is absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I stay away from anything that would be considered somewhat bad in most cases, lol. I'll admit that I occasionally watch stuff that some people wouldn't like (piano and other more shoujo based stuff), but most of what I watch is usually in the realm between strictly shounen or shoujo. (I don't watch bleach or naruto or any of those types of anime. They don't deserve to be as long winded as they are, they're full of filler, they are way too shounen overall, and their plot usually isn't all that great anyway.)

(Yeah, I've got a lot of hate for stuff like inuyasha, bleach, naruto, one piece, and all those insanely long run anime.)

It pisses me off to no end that stuff like bleach gets so many episodes, and anime that are something like 1125899906842624 (1024^5) times better than it get 1 season. I'm happy that Zero no Tsukaima and Shakugan no Shana are getting multiple seasons, but quite a few shows like that never make it past the first season.

On a brighter note, anyone know about the Tano*C CDs? tano-c.net they're like japanese happy hardcore/hardcore (not all of it quite fits under HHC, seeing as one CD ends with m1dy) I found some torrents of them and I absolutely love it, so anyone interested in music slightly less hardcore (and without the rampant anime samples) than sharpnel should check it out.

bleach is as long as it is because it has that much material. Stuff like Shakugan no Shana (which I dislike), does not.

Hajime no Ippo has nearly 800 chapters now. Guess what? It's better than every manga in existence. The anime for it was 75 episodes and the entire thing (which didn't cover very much of the manga) is better than every show you could watch.

Long series are just fine and honestly, most of you guys fall into the category of not liking something becauae it's popular. The main Bleach storyline is very well written for the style of show that it is.

They're prog metal, but really not very metal-esque, if that makes sense at all. They have a really, REALLY kickass guitarist, and two drummers, which is nuts. During the concert, they spent like 5 minutes doing a solo where they were reaching all over the place playing on the other person's drum kit, it was awesome. They seem to do more acoustic stuff than metal, but you can tell it's there.

And also: Metalocalypse is one of the best things to come out of Adult Swim, along with The Boondocks.

I was actually thinking about watching Hajime no Ippo, lol. Why do you dislike stuff like Shakugan anyway? I find that I'm rather odd in what I watch, because I tend to watch things like Piano (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,1081,qjwubn,piano.html), Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,1277,zhaabw,yami_to_boushi_.html), Puchi Puri Yushi (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,1065,sxwyon,puchi_puri_yush.html), Shakugan no Shana (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,1817,epsmzg,shakugan_no_sha.html), Sola (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,3979,cvyfso,sola.html), and Byosoku 5 centimeter ~a chain of short stories about their distance~ (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,3821,fkfpzq,byosoku_5_centi.html). Shakugan is the only one that's really popular, but they all ahve such amazing stories (Which I find to be better, or just more entertaining, than bleach etc.)

Zero no Tsukaima has 12 light novels for it's story, but are they going to run it through all 12 of them? Not likely. It's going to get a 3rd season, but I doubt it'll cover all of the books, or even come close. The second season didn't exactly move the plot very far, and if they make the third season like they did the second, it'll likely be dropped because of the new director and writer making it crappy.

I will admit that part of my problem with the shows I'm talking about is because they're popular, but so far, I have yet to find any single reason to like Naruto. Bleach, I don't really mind too much. Inuyasha got lame after they introduced naraku (does anyone else hate anime with bad guys that just don't die?) My point is that many of these anime are only as long as they are because they are popular, because they were pretty much designed as the sort of thing that becomes popular. You don't see people going crazy about Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito, because it's a shoujo-ai, and because it's not designed to be commercialized.

I have the same issues with most movies. You rarely ever hear about a truly amazing movie any more. With the exception of those ones that start in film festivals and break out from there. You never see people making movies like Citizen Kane and stuff like that now.

I guess you could say I'm opposed to commercialization, and the general lack of creativity it breeds. (And the retarded people who think that <insert lame anime here> is the best anime on earth when I could list about 10 anime better than it off the top of my head.)

Shakugan no Shana is extremely formulaic, relying on the same cliched character types as every other series of its kind. It also does have a second season because it was popular. It was popular because it had massive stereotypical characters.

Shoujo-ai is THE most popular anime type right now. In fact, it's the most popular every summer-fall as they make up 90% of the new shows that come out.

Zero no Tsukaima honestly doesn't deserve the amount of episodes its gotten. Again, very stereotypical and other shows have already done what its done, and very much better.

And well, uh, yeah, anime does get more for it if it's popular. That usually should tell you that it did something right. Look at Code Geass or Haruhi. Neither of them were going to have second seasons. Now they both are. Both series are extremely good but because of the glut of shoujo-ai, they both almost didn't get renewed for a second season because the other types of shows are easier to make or adapt. I could name you a dozen cases where a very high rated show with an open ending and a very obvious second season doesn't get it because people just want Kanon 3 or Air 237 or Harem comedy (with fighting this time!).

The idea that commercialization makes anything bad is laughable. Was Beautiful Mind a bad movie because it was advertised and then re-released after it won an Oscar? Is Mario Galaxy going to be bad because everyone's excited for it and Nintendo's really pushing it?

Of course, I hate to say it, but the entirety of the age group after me falls into the trap that anything popular, even if done well, is automatically looked down upon.

Post by: Bobbias on November 05, 2007, 04:27:14 PM
Well, The second season for Zero no Tsukaima was utter crap, since they changed writer and director...

My point about commercialism was that companies are not willing to experiment as much because of the fact that they shun experimental and possibly not profitable ventures in favor of ones they know will be popular. Shows like Piano barely get any recognition at all.

It's kind of sad that my laptop runs much cooler under load despite the cramped design (not to mention is faster).  If I knew my board supported the Pentium M, I'd probably upgrade to one.

I had the rubbing alcohol because I was cleaning my PC fans (when you see your processor hit 70-75C you tend to quickly get in the mood to clean your fans and heatsinks) and I had the water on my desk because, well, I was thirsty.

vidz plz

Yeah, I was a little surprised.  My system wasn't even that dirty but it really made the difference.

I wouldn't have even known if I hadn't done a "dmesg | tail" to try and diagnose some NFS issues in my Linux installation.  When I saw all of those throttling messages I figured that it was about time to clean muh shit.  I'm really amazed that a fairly small amount of dust and grime made a 20C difference, though.  I have to say, if nothing else, the P4's do really well under extreme heat.  The thing didn't even start throttling until it passed 70C and the throttling was enough to keep its temperature under 75C without affecting performance all that much.

It's amazing how much a stage1 install of Gentoo exercises your processor.

Read to here and then laughed, glad to hear you haven't poisoned you're self yet.

Not yet!  I'm sure it'll happen someday if I keep putting big bottles of rubbing alcohol next to bottles of water, though. ;P

Oh, I totally understand, then.  Playing BF2 makes me want to go on a killing spree...that game is awful.

But in all seriousness, yeah, you know what Jacko's reaction is going to be to all of this, despite the fact that the killer supposedly told people not to blame games in his video.

I dunno, I thought BF2 was bad enough that it could possibly do it.

Well, unless getting torn apart by a HUMONGOUS RAIN OF HAND GRENADES* no matter where you walk is a sign of good game design.

*They give players four grenades per spawn which a lot of people seem to feel inclined to use all at once.  It's not so bad when one idiot throw around grenades but it's inevitable that their entire team does it.  I fail to see why they should have that many grenades -- two is more than enough.

If you want to know what is it, take Sandstorm, layer the vocals for the chorus of Linkin Park's "Crawling" on top of that, and throw in multiple incidents of me (ab)using a certain "YEAH" sound that I uttered for one of the CrapMania announcer sounds and, well, there you go.

About an hour and a half ago, StumbleUpon's Wikipedia channel took me to the ecumenopolis article. An ecumenopolis is a planet completely covered by a city. In the examples, I clicked on the Coruscant article. Then I spent about an hour and a half going through a web of Star Wars articles. When I finished, I clicked Stumble and got another Star Wars article.

Now I want to rewatch the series and read the books.

I'm kinda busy with god hand now (the reviewers that gave this game a bad rating need to die, painfully. The environment graphics/textures is almost enough to make you're eyes bleed and the controls and get a little sloppy at times but they probably didn't like it because it didn't control like devil may cry or onimusha) So is the secound game mostly stealth or dose it drift into that sloppy shooting that the last game did?

I was pretty bored in my 7th period today (student assistant, but the teacher never has me do anything), so I started messing around with the graphs, found a few parent functions, and made this:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/annonymous/Graph.png)
I used the calc option to find the integral (option 7, shades the graph for area).

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/annonymous/Functions.png)
The functions (I stored (π/2 - Y) in A, where Y was the y-value of the second function at π/2).

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/annonymous/Window.png)
The x-min is -(47π)/24, the x-max is (47π)/24, the y-min is -(31π)/24 - 1, and the y-max is (31π)/24 - 1

It took about 20 minutes to completely put together.

Also, Rotoscoping is pure hell. (That's cutting out a character or object from a piece of film, in this case, anime. You have to make a mask, and then edit the mask for each frame. It takes anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes PER FRAME.)

Yay, I'm 23. :)

Also, I dislike Pentium 4s even more now.  I've been compiling a PSP toolchain on my lappy which, obviously requires some very heavy compiling.  I had my CPU fan forced at half-speed and, despite the fact that laptops naturally don't have the best cooling systems and that it's resting on a blanket (hey, it's chilly in this room :)) it ("it" meaning my Dothan Pentium-M 1.73GHz) maxed out at 55C.  My desktop system, with its 2.8GHz Prescott Pentium 4 and a ton of fans and air, maxes out at the same temperature under load and doesn't even run as efficiently (the Pentium-M is faster despite its clock rate being just over 1GHz less...holy shit).  I decided to force the fan on my laptop to high (high is 4800rpm, low is 2400rpm) and it's staying at 47C -- just over my Prescott's idle temperature.

Wow.

Did I ever mention how much I LOVE the Pentium III, Pentium-M, and Core architectures? :]

I've never used an M, though my old was a P3 866 MHz that ran quite nicely, considering the crap I forced into it.We even tried running oblivion on it once, but that was a pretty clear failure on the computer's side, as it ran at about 4 FPS. Though that could have been due to our rather slow video card. That was a GeForce FX 5600 256 MB. Sure, it was one of the first 256 MB cards out there, but it was also a painfully bad performance architecture.

Don't feel bad, Oblivion runs very poorly on my P4-2.8 with its GF6600GT.  The game is horribly unoptimized, just like Morrowind.

The Pentium-M and Core chips were all based on the Pentium III architecture.  NetBurst has to be the biggest mistake that Intel ever made.  It was fishy at the beginning and it was just flat-out bad coming out.  The fact that it only ran well at higher clock speeds should have been an indication to Intel that it was a bad idea, and the fact that it didn't even make it to 4GHz before the thermal issues finally caught up was just icing on the cake.  IIRC, the 1GHz Coppermines were quite a bit faster than the early P4s.  As I mentioned before, my 1.73GHz Dothan is quite a bit faster than a Pentium 4 that's clocked over 1GHz higher.

It's funny how, especially in computing, going backwards can mean going forwards.  Intel had an incredible architecture before the NetBurst Pentium 4s came out, they just didn't realize it.  Now that they dumped NetBurst they're finally in the business of making damn good CPUs again.

What was NetBurst anyway?
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Spectere on November 15, 2007, 07:17:22 AM
It's an architecture that depends on long pipelining (20 stages initially, 31 starting with the Prescott).  Long pipelines inherently decrease the number of instructions per cycle but counters that by allowing the CPU to run at a higher clock rate.

One of the side-effects of this was that some instructions wound up faster than previous generations, others wound up being slower.  A particularly curious set of common instructions were slowed down by the new architecture -- rotate and shift.  You know how you could do a certain shift and wind up with a very quick integer double/half operation?  It wasn't as quick with the P4.  Changes like that made it hard to target multiple processors because, given that particular example, what's fast on the P4 might be slow on an Athlon or P3, and vice versa.

The situation improved a bit with the Northwood core, which sported a doubled L2 cache, a smaller fabrication process, and hyper-threading technology enabled on certain chips.  Eventually Intel did a major rehashing and wound up with the Prescott.

The Prescott, to put it lamely, is too hot to handle.  It supported all of the same features, in addition to SSE3, a fancy new 90nm fab process, and, on later models, 64-bit and virtualization.  It also doubled the cache of the Northwood, to 1MB (and eventually 2MB), per what would appear to be NetBurst tradition.  Sadly, that's where the nice things end.  Prescotts were found to perform worse in many situations when compared to a similarly-clocked Northwood chip.  Not to mention that it runs bloody HOT.  Remember how hot I mentioned that my Prescott runs?  Mine is only a 2.8GHz -- imagine how hot a a 3.4GHz+ one must run, let alone one of those dual-core monstrosities that Intel released (the Pentium D).

Given the overall design of the NetBurst architecture, Intel clearly designed it simply to beat AMD in clock speed alone.  In a way, they succeeded, claiming firsts for the 2GHz and, I think, 3GHz marks.  However, by that point, the techies knew better and the soccer moms and grannies didn't seem to care anymore than they used to.

Also also, Galaxy is amazing. I've been playing it every chance I've gotten since I picked it up last night (which is, uh, two.) and I have like 9 stars so far. Digging the originality, hard to find an original game these days.

Yeah, but can any software acutally utilize [quad core CPUs]?

Sure.  Any multithreaded application that utilizes more than two threads (i.e. processes multiple things simultaneously) will happily use the other cores.  Also, as Bobbias said, the operating system will automatically push certain applications toward certain CPUs.  Windows/LUNICKZ/whatever do what they can to fully utilize whatever processing power you have available.

Bleh, timed matches. I wouldn't say I could EASILY beat them, but I was good enough to beat them every time (in my prime). My match was always a 5 life match with me as marth against link and roy. Roy was WAY easier to kill than link and I don't remember one time where I fought roy alone. Every match lasted around 8 minutes, give or take. It was a work out, for sure, but I could have won every match against them. However, due to my RF adapter being dead, I can't get any practice in to see if I could ever get back to that level of play, though likely not, since nearly every one of my GC controllers has something wrong with them.

I think I'm starting to believe in fate, and for a really strange and, in my opinion, dumb reason.

I always feel that there's a reason behind everything I do and that those reasons will be defined eventually. Whenever I find myself reacting to a situation very differently than I know I normally would and can't think of a rational reason why I would react that way, it stays in the back of my mind and I think of everything that could possibly stem from that moment that wouldn't otherwise occur if I had acted as I normally do. This can range from something simple like running a red light to starting a conversation with someone I would've otherwise paid no attention to. I remember these moments and I think about them whenever anything that could relate to them happens.

I'm bringing this up because I just fixed my translucent blue PS2 controller by transplanting a working PS2 controller's inner workings, when I could've much more easily just used the working controller. The only thing I can think about as I use my blue controller is that I used someone else's controller, which I was borrowing, to fix it.

Either it's fate... Or you just chose to do something you might normally have not done for no apparent reason.

I can only think of one time that I did something I normally wouldn't do in the time since I started highschool. A couple weeks into grade 9, I began talking to a girl who I had not met before. I began the conversation simply because I noticed she had some anime pictures in her locker. We had a great friendship, but rarely see each other any more, because of a number of changes in her life, and all sorts of stuff. (And a considerable amount of depression on my half.)

That is quite literally the only time I can think of something like that.

Yeah, I did, but that was just to move all of my Steamy games from my dying C: drive to my shiny happy F: drive. Didn't do anything, really, so it's pretty unrelated. My problem lies in my driver. I have an old graphics chip/card/whatever, it was really high-end in 2001, but now it's rather obsolete. So no games really dig it, unfortunately. HL2 and related games (including Episode One) all worked, until I got the Orange Box and tried to update my driver like it told me to. Then EVERYTHING stopped working, and I've tried many upgrades and downgrades to my driver, and DirectX, and various variables. It's rather pitiful.

Maybe I'll get hella lucky and get a new computer for my birthday (Jan. 25), like I think I will :x

Oh yeah, PS, I finally saw Transformers for the first time tonight. That was a REALLY good movie. I wasn't expecting to like it at all, but it was amazing.

I just realized I can't talk about videogames with my friends. My friend and I where talking then he said he wanted to play assassin's creed (I've heard a ton of mixed things, never played it) when he's never shown interest in a Prince of Persia or those Thief games. The only reason he probably wanted to play was because of the tons of commercials for it. Then we see a commercial for Quake and another friend says "PS3 sucks", so I say "That's Quake nigger" and he's like "oh.....Quake sucks". Then a commercial for Jericho comes up and the same friend says "oh, shit looks good" so I reply "shitsux lol" and he just said "oh". Then GH3 comes up and it says the same friend says "This shit is retarded, play a real guitar" (he's played guitar forever, so he's like "shits gay lol" constantly) which has to be the worst argument ever conceived for guitar hero. Then super Mario galaxy comes up and my one friend says "who cares about Mario anymore" which was basically how I viewed it, until I saw the game footage.

Ok, so I just came up with the idea of a Rickroll file. It'll look like a file I haven't decided on yet, and I'll put a piece of that song after Never Gonna Give You Up so I can play it in the preview music, but when the file starts, it will be Never Gonna Give You Up.

I need the video in .avi format for this file to be complete.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on November 23, 2007, 03:37:23 AM
Can't you give it a separate file as a preview mp3? I think I've seen that done before.
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: annon on November 23, 2007, 03:39:43 AM
I don't know how to do that. Besides, I've decided on One Winged Angel - Advent Children for the song, which itself is around 6 minutes long, so I'm going to need to add a bunch of length to the mp3 anyways (It's 3:35).
Title: Re: The Official S.net "The Lame Replies Thread" Thread
Post by: Bobbias on November 23, 2007, 04:11:21 AM
Alright, I was just trying to point you to another way of making a preview without having to add to the song.

I am a space marine fighting for earth and I fight demons from hell and I shoot stuff. Why play Halo or Jericho? I just do the real thing


Also, "who cares about mario?" is one of the dumbest things I can think of and basically pigeonholes you as a total poser who plays pretty much just shooters but calls themselves hardcore and acts all high and mighty, as though they actually know what a quality game is.

Honestly, that attitude is so wide-spread now that gaming's almost been ruined by it. It's impossible to talk to almost anyone 22 or younger about games without almost exploding.

ps assassin's creed is fun and good. Just don't marathon it.

Mass Effect is really good too, though there are some odd difficulty spikes sometimes

I found a method of converting .flv to .mpg, so I got a background video. Now the Rickroll file is finished.

I could remake my account on Bemanistyle and see if I could get the the file sponsored a la Into The Inferno or I could see if /i/ would feel like 10'ing the file to no end.

Here's the link so you guys can see it. Personally, I think it looks very convincing. http://www.sendspace.com/file/fzlsuu

I got Beatmania US for 15 bucks used 8)

I had a beatmania controller lying around my house, a friend of mine who bought an ASC gave it to me like 4 years ago...and I finally get to use it.

I'm a very casual player, so I probably won't get any good anytime soon, but as of now, it's fun fun fun :)

Quite true. Once I got the slipmat mod done, the controller was pretty sweet. I haven't had a chance to play an arcade, so I don't know how the ideal gameplay would feel, but still.

So I was playing Halo 2 on legendary (Impossible unless you have a decent rang gun or plasmas) with my friend and I noticed that the AI was horrible. One guy on our side was shooting a wall and wouldn't stop. I walked up to an elite and he just stayed crouching until I shot him. Also nothing ever takes cover or really rushes past my cover, all they do is shoot, jump quickly to one side, jump on a box for no FUCKING REASON, look around, and then jump back down. I can't see why people like it's single player so much.

I'm not a fan of single player, though I've never encountered stupid enemy AI, lol. I much prefer playing multi-player, because I absolutely love the feel of the game. It's not too fast paced for me, but it's also not too slow. I'd like to see more maps in multiplayer, but I can't do much about that.

I've gotten to play on a Beatmania III (5-key) machine a couple of times (before the bastard arcade owner pulled it for virtually no reason).  There is no comparison -- everything about the arcade controllers feel better (aside from maybe the turntable being higher and farther away, but I guess you'd get used to that after you've played on it for a while).

That said, good luck finding a IIDX machine.  I've never even seen one in person.

So I was playing Halo 2

That's your first mistake. ;)

Halo 2's single player was by far the worst in the series.  Halo and Halo 3 are much better.

I got a chance to play an actual IIDX machine when I was in Japan three years ago. It was pretty hard, considering I barely knew what I was doing, but it was fun.

Also, today is the last day of thanksgiving break, and I am sad. I've spent almost all of the week with my lady "friend" and it's been amazing. Tonight I'm going over to her place to hang out and watch desperate housewives.

Health display now supports up to 5 digits; all light maps are inversed. XD  Sadly, the spastic water warping effect (where the lightmap gets detached from the texture map and causes numerous fullbright patches to appear) doesn't seem to happen on ATI chipsets (yay laptop... ;-;).  All the more reason why I can't wait to get back on my main rig.

I do that sometimes too. Actually, 8-4 is usually pretty close to my normal hours, but it's anywhere from 6-10 or so when I go to sleep and anywhere from 2-6 when I wake up. (I don't always fall asleep quickly, so even if I go to bed at 6, I might not sleep till 10.)

Man, today was great, even though I didn't really get much sleep and was pretty tired during school. After school I just relaxed, listened to Younger Brother/Shpongle while playing Galaxy, texted my friends and napped. Then I hung out with my "friend"- we played Galaxy together and then watched Drake and Josh. I realized that show is actually really funny. Then we watched another episode, and, you know, lost interest. I just got back from taking her home. I'm really exhausted :x

Yeah, although I don't know much about the song list from what I can tell it looks pretty awesome. And as of right now, I'm not... too terribly good at it. I can't feasibly forsee myself playing anything more difficult than Hard in the very distant future D:

That doesn't mean I don't find the game to be fun, though. Plus there are a lot of people that would love me if I got the game and another controller, and even more people who I want to try it out.
