Does anyone (probably German GAF) knows if the following games also contain englisch for audio/text because I can't stand german subs in most games. Those are the USK (blargh) versions I intend to buy:

Metal Gear Solid HD collection
Ico & Shadow of the Colossus HD
Disgaea 4

(PS3)

thanks in advance :)

edit: nvm, found it. disabled smooth scrolling in preferences.
 
What is currently worth more? The US Dollar or the Canadian dollar?

I have a bet with my gf on this....(for chicken and fish)

1 U.S. dollar = 1.02440019 Canadian dollars

Google makes for a very handy unit calculator. For example just google (sans quote marks) "1 Euro to Dollar" or "5 Feet to Meter".

Yea but what is worth more. Im saying the US dollar is worth less and she is saying its worth more.

Guess its more of a definition thing....
 
...

If you exchange 100 usd for canadian you get 102 canadian. Thus the US dollar is worth more.

To illustrate with an example that my primary school teacher liked to repeat all the damn time. 1 orange is worth 2 apples. So 1 apple is only worth half an orange. Thus 1 orange is worth more than 1 apple.

edit:
It should have ever be noted that this is only currently the case. The Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar are pretty much in a constant dance about which is worth more. Just last month for instance the Canadian Dollar was worth more with an exchange rate of 0.988. So I think it's best to say that they are worth the same.

If something costs 1 dollar in the US, you can't buy it with 1 Canadian dollar, since one Canadian dollar is worth 0.976 USD. The US dollar is worth more.
 
Hmm.. if a store writes this: "If Paid items are canceled, store credit will be issued."

Does that mean, that I will get my money back if I cancel my order?
 
Sort of urgent,


Can Gaf help me come up with two ideas for political cartoons? They have to be relating to something current/controversial. I had some ideas, but I am only good at drawing, not coming up with dialogue.
 
Uh, the guy eating that dude's face off and causing people to worry about a real zombie apocalypse seems like an easy topic to make a cartoon out of.


Or just make fun of Mitt Romney/Ron Paul or something.
 
Well, can you give us anything more?

Edit:
Here's my suggestion: ask for help in this thread. Just be upfront that it's for homework or whatever.

Thank you, I will do that

Its just that I have not been following any relevant topics, enough to make up a clever reference.

I didn't even know you could scroll with Space. That is really convenient (I hate scroll wheels). Wow, thank you.
Too bad there's no way to scroll up with it though (or is there?)
 
Shift + space is scroll up. Shift is usually used to go back in general. Shift + Tab is back one field when you fill out forms, Shift + Ctrl + Tab is back one tab in your browser, etc.

That is amazing. Thank you.
Now I have to try Shift with everything!

I didn't even know about Ctrl + Tab. I wonder what other keys I could be missing.

Disgaea yes, identical with UK version
Shadow of the Colossus yes (at least the download version)
 
I've got a question:

How come Spider-Man doesn't knock Doc Ock out with one punch? I was watching Spider-Man 2 yesterday, and Ock doesn't have any facial super strength, while Spidey is able to lift a Volkswagen. How does this work in the comics?

Because comics.

Seriously don't think about it. If you start paying attention to the physics or the continuity in comic book (movies) then you might as well not bother with it at all as it will drive you mad.

These days, he wears body armour. In general, he tends to keep people far enough away not not land any punches.

There's some suspension of disbelief involved. :P
 
Ages ago one of my friends told me about how there was this frequency that they play in the cinema during horror/thriller films that give the viewers goosebumps and make their hair stick up etc. I'm sure he called it white noise or black noise. I didn't outright dismiss that this could be true but I thought it was unlikely that I had never heard of it before.

Anyway, last night a friend and I went to see The Pact, and there was a point in the film that they were starting to build a bit of tension, but because of the senario I knew nothing was going to happen. Suddenly my friend and I got that feeling of tension at the exact same time, which made me think that maybe that noise does exist but google gives me no results. So, can anyone defunct this for me?

The scene for those that have seen the film, not much of a spoiler anyway:
When she's in the motel and zooming in on the google street view.
 
...So, can anyone defunct this for me?...

It's real. I don't know whether or not it's used in cinema's but low frequencies have an effect on humans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound#Human_reactions_to_infrasound
On 31 May 2003, a team of UK researchers held a mass experiment where they exposed some 700 people to music laced with soft 17 Hz sine waves played at a level described as "near the edge of hearing", produced by an extra-long-stroke subwoofer mounted two-thirds of the way from the end of a seven-meter-long plastic sewer pipe. The experimental concert (entitled Infrasonic) took place in the Purcell Room over the course of two performances, each consisting of four musical pieces. Two of the pieces in each concert had 17 Hz tones played underneath. In the second concert, the pieces that were to carry a 17 Hz undertone were swapped so that test results would not focus on any specific musical piece. The participants were not told which pieces included the low-level 17 Hz near-infrasonic tone. The presence of the tone resulted in a significant number (22%) of respondents reporting anxiety, uneasiness, extreme sorrow, nervous feelings of revulsion or fear, chills down the spine and feelings of pressure on the chest

In the movie, the tentacles are like body armor and the time he fights Spidey, Spidey's not trying to knock him out since he's trying to find Mary Jane.
(That's what helps me sleep at night over it)
 
What's the size of Iphone 4S wallpapers and how do I get a picture from the web? xD Want to do my own and upload to imgur or whatever.
