It looks like the Account Approvals Fairy is online! See?



Two questions!

1) Does this mean a new batch of juniors for the new year?
2) Would it be "fairy" or "faerie"?

I'm more concerned with question 2, if you'll only answer one.

I'd probably go with "fairy."
 
Fae. While Fairy, Faery, Fae, Fay or any other way you want to spell it mean the exact same thing.
The only difference is that "Fae" seems to be more associated with the old, cruel fairies of legend (think kidnapping babies for lunch) while "Fairy" brings Tinkerbell to mind.
 
I am trying to figure out the name of this comic I read when I was younger and google was failing me.

It was a western comic, probably published by vertigo/dark horse or something similar. It was about a teenage boy who became a demon, or maybe a vampire, and then there were angel warriors involved, and I think the boy fought other demons from hell or something. He also had a friend who was a chick with short hair who threw bombs or something. She was pretty scantily clad I remember. The comic was pretty stylized, with lots of blood and exaggerated female features.

Any help on the name would be awesome!
 
Right, I'm thinking of changing my username but could do with some feedback.

The main name I'm focusing on is Full Measures, what do people think? I've held of for a bit cause I wanted some familiarity with THe CJ.
 
I am just writing up my project for my final year, and I am a bit lost as to what else to do on the graphs I am making. I have 4 cell counts from each day for 5 days and I am not sure whether I need to be making standard deviations etc. I also have more data which is more cell counts but this time they are from 1 hour, 2, 24 and 72 hours after I have gave them somatostatin. I am rubbish at statistics though. I think I need to make STDEV of my normal growth curve and see if my somatostatin counts fall outside 2 STDEVs of the normal levels but I am not terribly sure :/
 
Great image, or greatest image?

Is there a thread where GAF members can show off artwork? As in art actually created by them?

Couldn't seem to find anything. Seemed weird to me.

Sounds like a decent one.

I have a game related question. Two different types of game but which should I get, Far Cry 3 or Spec Ops: The Line?
Click to expand...

Far Cry is longer and has better gameplay, but is probably also quite a bit more expensive. Spec Ops has a very interesting story and theme but fairly middling gameplay and is pretty short, comparatively. They are both worth playing.
 
I couldn't find a answer via googling so I assume the answer is no, but is the iPod Touch 5th Gen microphone better than the 4th Gen iPod Touch Microphone? I'm thinking of buying a new iPod Touch just for video editing and the 4th Gen iPod Touch microphone usually has a hard time getting my voices heard well.

PS: I know you think I'm crazy. I just have no pc so if I get a good camcorder then I will have no way to edit the videos since I currently use my Ipod Touch 4th gen, which I am satisfied using, to edit them. A macbook to edit is too expansive, and I don't wanna get a new windows computer since I have had bad luck with them and again would probably be too expansive for a good one.

I am used to editing on a iPod Touch so getting a newer one just for editing would be ideal, and leave my old for my apps and stuff. Would like more memory too. Just a better microphone might tip me even more to get one so thats why I'd thought I'd ask.

...is the iPad Mini microphone better than the 4th gen iPod Touch microphone?
 
I have just calculated a growth rate for my cells.

They had an exponential phase of growth between 24hours and 72 hours, at 24 hours there were 1286111 cells, and at 72 hours they went up to 5565556 cells.

I just calculated the specific growth rate and got 0.030 h-1, but I have no idea what that means and I was wanting the doubling rate but I cant figure out how to calculate it.

There are plug in microphones you can get that would probably be better than the stock microphone on the Touch if that's one of your main issues.
 
So, I was browsing the internet randomly on reddpics in the NSFW category...then something extremely random occurred to me. Now that I think about it, these are obviously not the same girls at all, going by different skin tones, body shapes, ages, locations they are at, and all that jazz...and the vast majority of them are at the bare minimum attractive to smoking hot.

All willing unshamably to put naked pictures of themselves up on the internet for the world to see. Of course the world we live in has billions of women, so statistically, speaking, yes it's nothing but a droplet of water in a pool compared to all the women around the world.

But even still it's worth noting, just why are they so willing to do so? Has there been a sociological or psychological study done about females who don't necessarily do porn (although to some it's pretty indistinguishable) but they show their geneitals, breasts, and ass with no shame. And that's JUST one website. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of different women naked on the internet. Surely the thought process for all of them CANNOT be the same. I'd love for this phenomenon to be explained

Do you want to know something else? 90% of the pics you see will be of women around 20-24; and that age group directly correlates with the highest fertility rate in women ( near 90% chance of getting pregnant at the age).

So, essentially, the increased fertility rate makes them increasingly hormonal?

I thought the older they got the more they wanted sex and for men it was the other way around.

We don't know who put those pictures up. It could be that 90% of them were uploaded by their boyfriends/husbands/lovers. In other words, it was supposed to be for their eyes only.

Well my main issue was limited storage space on my current touch, since I like to create several videos ahead of time before I upload them, but thanks. Will defiantly look into microphones I can use.
 
Why the hell does the Wii U even bother to send the Wii U Gamepad 5ch audio track when the gamepad's speakers are stereo? Does the Wii U gamepad do some sort of virtual surround sound for its speakers to try to play the 5ch audio its sent?

I'm currently using a premium 3.5mm cable to connect my Wii U gamepad to my pc's microphone to record sound from the gamepad. Apparently whilst recording, Audacity was to pick up 5ch instead of 2ch.

Which brings me to another question. Should I record in 2ch or 5ch? I don't have a surround system so I'm leaning towards the former.
 
Listening of music at max volume can damage your hearing but does that mean the ambient noise from being on the bus is also damaging? I have to turn up the volume on my phone to make out what I'm listening too but even then it seems like the outside noises are louder. I'm using a shitty pair of earbuds but even still it seems like the surrounding noise would be dangerous considering the volume I need to set on my phone.

This may be a stupid answer, but if it is, someone will hopefully correct me xD

There are competing soundwaves, the bus and your earbud. To over power the buses noise, and make the earbuds noise clearer, you turn it up. The earbuds are now louder to over power the waves of the bus, allowing you to hear them clearer, vibrating your eardrum more and causing damage.

Just because you still hear the bus when your earbuds are turned up, doesn't mean they are of the same loudness or the same clarity. You are just making the waves from the earbuds more noticeable (louder) so your mind focuses on that louder noise. Hell, its hard to avoid it, your earbuds are making the ear drum beat more intune with the noise its producing, than that of the bus.
 
help me define this TROPE:

heavily utilized in harry potter, what is the word for a thing hidden in the normal world, often in plain sight? hidden doors, passages, etc? there's a word for this kind of thing in stories and i can't think of it.

Camouflaged? Invisible?

Edit: Ah, trope? I'm not sure then.

Thanks, that makes some sense. I guess I should just invest in better earbuds.
 
Hey GAF, Word 2007 question : is there a way to configure it to automatically number pages ? Like it would automatically put the page number in the footer without me having to manually do it each time I make a new document ? Thanks !
 
So I've had this weird thing in VLC where the displayed title at the top of the window and in subtitles is always the same no matter which video I play. I must have inadvertently changed something in the settings but I don't know what.

Any ideas?

Have you tried both to see what the difference actually is? Maybe if you try to record in 5ch some of them will be empty or pure duplicate? If it's for your own personal use 2ch makes sense, though again I'd probably at least test it and make sure there aren't unique channels just being dropped or something. Honestly I didn't realize 3.5mm headphone cables were capable of anything more than stereo.

The word they use in the series is Unplottable.
 
When do I lose my junior tag? Is it a certain amount of posts I must reach, or do I have to make mods laugh?

How much money does EviLore make from my/our addiction of GAF?

Why does GAF love Gabe Newell? Steam sales?
 
Someone tell me a brand of damn shoes that don't kill my feet after 3 hours of standing up. Not tennis shoes, and they can't have laces. And under 100, please.
