Support NeoGAF

[Buddha Beam]

Is anyone else on MobileGAF getting, like, a LOT of gay phone sex ads?
I mean, I would understand if porn ads (although not gay ones) were showing up on my desktop on GAF but I've never used my phone or iPad for porn.

Is this just me? I can post screen shots if need be!

So guys, I'm looking for a book I saw an image from on the internet a while ago. It's a book with a cruise ship as a cover, and you can see the whole interior on different levels. It's a children's book.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I see people writing :jnc on gaf. What does it mean?

It basically means jack n' coke IIRC. Some sort of in-joke from sports-GAF, specifically the NFL thread (or rugby thread, can't remember), used as a reference to a specific GAFer.

 

[archnemesis]

It means the same thing as :lol and it was used as a replacement when smilies were banned.

I see, thanks What does jack mean?

 

[archnemesis]

I see, thanks What does jack mean?

It's a reference to the bourbon Tennessee whiskey Jack Daniel's. It's pretty terrible so people tend to mix it with soda. The NeoGAF user jacncoke had a laughing emoticon as his avatar at the time.

I just logged in to NeoGAF, and this is what I saw:

It's usually around 2000-3000, but damn.


I thought it was my mind tripping, but after returning to the home page, it was still there.


is this a bug or something?

There is a link to a neogaf thread on the front page of Reddit.

 

[ultron87]

The people online thing says there are 22000+ (and still increasing) guests online right now. And we seem to have just set a new "most people online record". So it seems like something weird might be going on.

Edit: Ah, that would do it.

 

[Jackben]

Yeah, GAF thread is on the front page of reddit.

 

[t-ramp]

Yeah, GAF thread is on the front page of reddit.

Damn. Not a bad way to get the attention, I suppose.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Something has happened with my mouse settings where one click seems to now equal a double click in Firefox. One click in text highlights a word, I can't click on menus as they open and close instantly, I can't use the GAF multiquote feature since it just clicks on and off again. Just happened earlier today. I have no idea how to start fixing it. Halp?

 

[Candeldandel]

Yeah, GAF thread is on the front page of reddit.

Haha, damn, I'm glad that this thread was here to answer my question! That's insane... I was all "WHERE'S THE MEGATON ON GAMING SIDE?! I don't see it!!"

Edit: Ok fine, that ad is pretty cool. lol

Are you using a Logitec mouse? Otherwise you should be able to go into mouse settings and change the click sensitivity.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Are you using a Logitec mouse? Otherwise you should be able to go into mouse settings and change the click sensitivity.

It seemed to be behaving as if ClickLock were on, but that wasn't the case. I fiddled with sensitivities, then rebooted the computer for good measure. Then I did some desktop clean up, during which the mouse went apeshit: some clicks were single, some double. Couldn't click and drag most of the time, and so on.

It was a wired Dell mouse, the one that came with the computer many years ago. It's in the trash right now - the wireless Logitech mouse I use for my work laptop is working just fine, so I'll snag another for the PC. So it was probably the left click on the mouse up and dying. Thanks for the pointer, that helped me trouble shoot.

My phone contract is finally up. I want to drop my plan and do prepaid or something. Basically I just want to pay as little per month as possible. I text a little, maybe like 0-4 texts per day. I rarely talk on the phone (~5 short conversations per month), and I don't need data at all.

What's the best option here? I don't want to use my current phone, I'd rather get a flip phone or something. Prepaid? Some other cheap thing? Should I just go to walmart and look at what they have? Ideally I'd pay like $10 a month.

I really don't know much about phone plans, but Tracfone has a 50-unit plan for $10 per month. I think each text sent or received is .3 units and calls are 1 unit per minute. Might be pushing it... I'm not sure if other companies offer similar options.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for a company to call you for an interview (if ever). For those with jobs, how long did it take you guys to get called for an interview? I know it's not always the same for everyone but i want some estimates.

About 2-3 weeks for me. You could try calling them after 2 weeks (some companies mention only short-listed candidates will be contacted, blah, blah, blah but hey doesn't hurt to ask).

Yea thanks, i think i'll give them a call later in the month although i heard some companies don't like when you call them.

I'd look into a prepaid phone.

Just as an example of how cheap it can be: Page Plus uses Verizon's network and they sell prepaid minutes that need to be used within 90 days. The cheapest is 100 minutes for $10, effectively 3.33/month, plus low text rates.
You have to buy a phone from them but that's a one time cost.

2) A few years ago on netflix streaming, I watched a movie, and I can't remember the name of it. It was a documentary about a man who built a short-lived society/experiment where people lived together in a building, isolated from the rest of the world for a period of time. I think the section of the building they lived in was underground? He lived in it with them, and they were constantly monitered by camera, and people in the rest of the world could watch them. They also didn't live by the same rules as the rest of society, since there were no cops in the building. This resulted in a lot of crazy behavior, including a shower that everyone could see inside, and "public" acts of sex. The guy who built the experiment called it Project Wake or Watch or Sleep or something like that, which may or may not have to do with the title of the movie.
After the experiment, he moved on to settle down and marry a woman. After a bit, he did a similar experiment with cameras everywhere in his house so that people online could constantly watch him and his wife. His main goal with both projects was to see how people's actions changed if they were constantly being watched by others. While still conducting the experiment, he became abusive to his wife, so she eventually left him. After this experiment, he moved to Africa or something, and that's basically the ending of the movie. Sorry for the wall of text.
Anyone know the name of this movie?

Thanks.

I am rubbish at maths so I am pretty stuck with this:

I am having to work out the coeffiecient of variation for some uni work, but I dont even understand what a particular result means.

I have got a CV of -3.5 and another CV of 0.16. The -3.5 value comes from a set of data which isnt very reliable and I am expecting a lousy result. But the 0.16 comes from model data, I just dont know how to interpret and compare them?

Save me Maths-GAF lol

How did the Tupac is alive joke come about? I see comedians, shows and even forum posters make fun of it but never figure out where it originate.

I believe it is because he has had so many posthumous releases.

This has actually happened with many celebrity deaths across the years. But the biggest cause of this social meme is the death of Elvis and the several decades long run of "Elvis sightings" in tabloids like the Enquirer.

Thanks for the info. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that prepaid minutes expire.

Can any computer science types help shed some light on this question?

http://i.minus.com/jbuFRPHwj1vbE8.jpg[IMG]

I'm revising for upcoming exams. During the brief period we covered this otherwise simple question, we never covered masks. I've looked over the notes and there is no sign of it.

So before, when there was no "M" section, the blank fields would have been...

1111
1111
0101

Very simple. But now, having no clue what the mask field actually does, this simple question is no longer quite so simple. Any ideas?

It's been a long time since I've looked at any of this, but it looks like M is an input to the AND gates at the bottom that go to the output. So take whatever the Q values would be before and AND them with M to get your O values.

Yeah, this sounds about right. Thanks.

Kind of obvious when you look at it. Too much revision of the difficult material today has seemingly taken its toll.

Edit: So much so that I hadn't even looked at the layout of circuit and only the truth table. Time to call it a night. Thanks again.

I think with a small amount of elbow grease (Putting the live things in the order of the recorded stuff) the wiki for his discography should do.

Yeah, I've been looking at that. The problems is the albums that was released the same year where it isn't clear what order they were released in.

Just wrote down all the albums by year (took some time, lol) and now the hard part begins.

So I heard Westboro Church are going to picket the funerals of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims.

Honestly, why hasnt anyone tried to kill that community? I'm just about down for it. If they were picketing my brother that died in the war, I guarantee I'd drive my car through their picket line. I don't understand how so much violence can go on every day, yet they remained untouched. Perhaps they are protected by some god?

What they want is for people to assault them. Then they can sue, and that's how they make money.

I understand that. But I'm not saying assault, I'm saying wiping them out at least most of them... you'd think someone would try about now. I don't get why these sad kids that think they need to shoot-up a school, don't just do it at westboro church? Isn't it a relatively small community?

Sorry, if I seem fucked up about this. But if they honestly picket at the school-shooting funerals, then that has to be the last straw.

In action movies you can very often see people snap the necks of others, by twisting their heads fast. I assume this is harder than it looks but is it actually lethal irl? Or would you just lose consciousness?
