I'm looking for a $10-20 karaoke mic for this sound system. Here is a pic of the available ports I can plug it into. Not really sure what kind of mic would work with this.

How come some ongoing threads get pushed to the community forum, like various sports-gafs, PoliGaf, Android-Gaf, Metal-Gaf, and British-Gaf etc, yet others get to stay in th eregular OT forum despite being on their 2nd or 3rd OT?

examples in regular Off Topic:
Magic: The Gafering OT2
LGBT Gaf OT3
Fitness OT4
Pics that Make you Laugh OT4

What are the standards for whats Community and whats regular OT? Just curious.

Well there's no dedicated port on there for a microphone but maybe you can try plugging in a 3.5 mm microphone into the green port (it may not work) or if you're plugging in a computer to the sound system you can plug the microphone straight into the computer.

Probably not. Generally these emails are aimed at phishing rather than viruses.

Then I have a similar question! A friend (yes) accidentally downloaded a "jpeg" from irc I think but never opened it. I think the file type was "xxx.jpg.tiff" or something like that. She he be worried since he never touched the file except for the download link?

I doubt it. Unless the file automatically ran, just downloading it shouldn't allow any virus to execute itself. Then again, hopefully he has an antivirus and did a scan of his system to make sure it wasn't infected.

If it really was a tiff, that's just another image format.

Nah I think he put it in quarantine automatically so he's probably fine either way.

True.

Is the neogaf domain redirecting to Facebook for anyone else? I had to switch to mobile to get rid of it.

I want to change my GAF name. Is there a character limit I should know about while I'm trying to think of the best possible name ever?

Petroleum Peanut-Butter is in the lead right now.

I have suddenly forgot and become unsure with all these HD Collections and talk of backwards compatibility but am I correct in saying, that the 360 can play Xbox 1 games and the Wii can play Gamecube games? Can the Wii U play both Gamecube and Wii games?

The 360 can play some Xbox games. Not all are compatible.
Only some Wii systems have Gamecube disc support.
The Wii U is not compatible with Gamecube discs.

360 can play some Xbox games: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/play-original-games

Original Wiis could play Gamecube games but some more recent model can't.

WiiUs play Wii games but not Gamecube.

Maybe this is more related to th PC threads but I'm worried about my graphics card:

As you can see, the text is weird. Refreshing the page and sometimes just scrolling will fix it. I just installed new ati drivers (hd4870 card) to no avail.

Hello again stupid questions, I have a copyright question.

My step dad (Pa) is a wood worker, and damn fine at it too. He's having some money problems because his health no longer allows him to work, so I've been wracking my brain to come up with ways for him to make money. He made this for me several years ago:

I've seen several things with that logo on esty sell all the time; but could he get in trouble if he made a bunch of these (on boxes or just plaques) and sold them online?

If it was me i would still sell them even with the possibility of getting in trouble. If i got in trouble i could just say sorry and stop making them.

On government census in Europe and elsewhere, is there a PC name for "blacks"? In America its African Americans.

This should give you a good idea.

Black, Black African, Black Carribean, Black British. In general use in the UK, black people, white people is acceptable.

I think you're misunderstanding the table. There is not an absolute list on the left then anything on the right is what they call it in that region. It's simply 3 lists of the ethnic categories as defined in those countries.

Why do horror movies usually get bad reviews? I've seen a lot of horror movies that are great because they're scary and suspenseful, but they always get bad reviews. It seems to me that critics don't get that horror movies aren't about a great story with good characters and superb acting. If a horror movie is scary and thrilling it's good IMO.

Was there an episode of Seinfeld where one of the characters adopts a life philosophy of never expecting anything? Like, George decides that hoping for things just hurts when he doesn't get them, so he gives up all hope. Ring any bells?

Maybe is it from a different tv show, I dunno.

There's an episode where George does the opposite of everything he thinks he should do.

You could be thinking of The Doodle episode. George becomes despondent and starts wearing velvet clothes and doesn't shave anymore.

is there an HTML (or similar) technique or addon or whatever that allows for touchscreen-style scrolling via dragging the mouse on a website? I'm just thinking about how archaic mouse wheel or scroll bars are, and maybe there's a better way to set up a web page.

If you have a clickable mousewheel - click it and a little scroll button appears and you can just move your mouse back and forward to go down and up.

Hopefully I'm understanding your question correctly.

Nah Okay, imagine you'd want to build a website, that uses touchscreen-like behaviour, only with a mouse. Like, you click somewhere in the text and then drag the text up and down (or sideways) while holding down the mouse button. Maybe even flick it to get to the top/bottom as you would on a touchscreen device.

Is this possible?

I've heard it been called a 'series hangover' once or twice.
