Why are the last posts on a page always the best ones? Nobody ever sees them- it boggles the mind.
No idea, but this leads me to an inquiry of my own....


Why isn't the 100 posts per page option set by default?
 
I have a question. It´s one of those "Oh noes, go see a doctor" things, but they all dissmissed so far.

So doctor GAF:

I have really, really, REALLY shitty wound healing.

A superficial cut can be open for days and not heal. Basically every cut or scratch will leave a visible scar. I cut myself while shaving and the wound didn´t really close and turned into a scar with the excact dimensions after about three weeks. Even as a little kid wounds hardly healed. The cat scratches me, bam, wound for a weak and a scar, scratches my brother, gone after two days.

I have acne, not bad anymore, but maybe that factors into it. My blood tests were largely normal the last years, only a slight anomaly during a blood test after an operation last year. A byproduct of the creatine decompostion (correct use of this word? Or how would you say that?) was 21 times higher concentrated in my blood than the upper limit of normal concentration. I suffered from major muscle soreness though (because I really busted my ass after this operation to get at least part of the lost stenght back) and the doc dismissed it. I don´t think I had another test after that.

My diet is healthy I´d say and has been for years, no fast food, two bananas a day, one litre of milk or more, turkey or tuna instead of fattier meats, whole-grain bread instead of white bread. Had no positive/negative impact on my healing.

I excercise a lot I´d say, I´m in great shape, but I have the feeling that my muscle regeneration is also lacking, maybe that´s connected. But maybe it´s just my shity genes :lol

As I said, docs dismissed my concerns so far (dermatologist and general practitioner), but never even checked it out. So I´m still wondering about this.

Sorry for this little diary post, but I don´t want to look like I cut myself just because of some minor cuts that leave ridiculous scars or die of an infected paper cut or something :/

FAIL. No one runs the whole way like that. You're taught to LEAN at the line like that. Show me the one person you've seen running a race like that and I'll show you an anime con around the corner.

I may be mistaken but I think there's a fair chance that he was making or trying to make a joke
 
Sometimes I really have to say a word or I'll feel very irritated. It's like an itch that needs to be scratched and I have to stress a certain consonant in a word to make it go away (like make). Frequently I'll have to try saying different words to find the right one that'll feel satisfying. What's up with this?

Try taking zinc supplements.

I wasn't making a joke. If Usain Bolt had run the entire 100m race like that, he would have broken 5 seconds. That is an irrefutable fact of science. He only ran like a normal person because he was showing off, which the IOC chairman criticized him for.
 
C++ HELP!!


I'm writing a program for school, and just wrote a crap-load of code, and realized a big loop should be in its own function. The problem is, I'm using a pico editor and cant copy/paste. So I either turn it into a function in main() or re-type it :( SO, can I do something like this:

main()
{
code code code

stupidMistakeFunction(x,y)
{
}

return 0;
}

or does the stupidMistakeFunction need to be outside?

Does anyone else enjoy smelling their own gas? Especially after spicy foods?

I don't, I find it pretty disgusting actually. However, I do know some people who like to do that, so at least, you're not alone
 
I'm sure the answer to my question is simple but I just cant figure it out

I'm trying to find the WEP key to my Lynksys router for my DS but all I can find is the network security key which my DS keeps saying is wrong. Can anybody help me out?

Are you sure you have WEP encryption turned on?

Dude just change the name of main to stupidMistakeFunction. Then add a new main below.

Alternatively look up how to copy and paste in pico. If you refuse to take advantages of opportunities to learn you will never make a good programmer.
 
What's the worst way to die?

What would the Earth be like if we weren't here??
After driving through open green countryside today i expect it would be bloody beautiful but very overgrown
Yes Earth would still be here if we weren't, GOD is a fable passed down by insecure people...lol!!

1) Knowing that you're going to die slowly and in pain. You will also be alone, dark, and being bitten to death by [insert scary poisonous animal of choice].

2) Just like it would be if we were here. Sure, the buildings would fall apart, power would stop being generated after a while, but earth would go on just fine without us. Go to the Amazon or something.

3) Nice attempt at a troll, but you still failed pretty hard at it.

4) What's the best way to dislodge someone that has you in a headlock? They're about 4" shorter, and about half the mass. I did it by just standing up, but next time I want them to regret doing it.

Or he could post the same question to Yahoo Answers. People there are happy to answer questions that take 5 seconds to Google because it's easy points for them.

1) I'd of thought burning alive, or being hacked to death
2) i meant if we weren't here, or never had
3) wasn't a troll. you can't troll something that isn't real.......
4) You asked a question and answered it yourself??????????

I remember seeing an emoticon around here several times, possibly as a user's tag or avatar or something. It's based on that animated one with the emote saying 'words' but instead reads 'swedes.' I'm not sure if this swedes emoticon is particular to this forum, but I've never seen it anywhere else and I can't find it by searching.

Where can I find the swedes emoticon?

I've seen the "swedes" version over at the somethingawful forums, but all they have listed are:

and

FUCK YOU!!! :P

No but when you copy and and paste it goes line by line, you cant selected multiple lines, so i didnt realize you can just keep cutting each line without it throwing away the one you cut before. I knew about cut and paste, I just didnt know it worked like that.

Your Yahoo Answers guy gave you an easier way. Ctrl+6 lets you highlight multiple lines first.
 
I need someone to post the GIF of that kid that's at a hardcore (techno) rave, working his jaw left and right like he's on XTC. He also holds his left hand up to his skull.


I need this NOW!!
 
Why can't I stay logged on to gaf? It used to be firefox would keep me logged on all the time. Now each time I go to gaf I have to sign in. The weird thing is, firefox still remembers the password fine.

Do you have the privacy options set to activate after you close firefox? That is strange.





Mine, for Linux guys:


What is the difference between Dovecot and sendmail?

I know dovecot does pop3/s Imap/s in order to serve mail for other computers, but for a small network with sendmail well configured it automatically relays the mail to other computers.

Is it just for huge networks/internet emails?
 
I have a REALLY stupid one, and the only reason I am posting it is because it kept me up at night once thinking about it.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hookers and blow

"hookers and blow"

It means prostitutes and drugs in that order, but shouldn't it be the other way around? I mean, you get HOOKED on drugs, and... well not much more needs to be said about the "blow" if you know what I mean. I have actually argued about this with one of my roomies for no less than 5 minutes when it was being mentioned by someone in the room. Actually, both of us got to thinking and even though a hooker is, well a hooker, the phrase "hookers and blow" makes quite a bit more sense when it is reversed.

I just don't get it GAF. I mean, I get it, but.... You see where I am going here?
 
what was behind that locked door on the left in resident evil 2, right after you climb the stairs in the police station and walk down the hallway? could you open that thing?

Hey guys, little question. What would happen if Pinocchio says "my nose will now grow"?

stolen from digg.com

"His intention isn't to lie. His nose only grows in response to a self-realized expressed mistruth; if his statement was spoken with no self-confidence, then yes, it would grow; and he would have been mistakenly correct.
Conversely, if he believes his nose will actually grow, and expresses it; it shall not grow. He will be truthful, but wrong."

now someone help me with my font question please.
 
Can someone tell me why I can't play hi-def content on my PC without terrible framedropping? I just bought a new video card that uses the Radeon HD 4770 GPU specifically for this purpose and it hasn't helped a bit. I'm running Windows 7 (used to run Vista and it was the same way), I have two gigs of RAM, and my processor is 3.00 GHz. Those are all decent specs, right? And as far as codecs I'm using the CCC pack and playing my videos with VLC (when I use Windows Media Player Classic, the audio and video go out of sync and the framedrops are just as bad). With VLC, still though, I get massive framedrops and the entire video will hang up every ten seconds or so.

Also, when I go to watch the video, I close every process I possibly can so that there's nothing pulling on my system at all.

What am I doing wrong?
 
When I put my name on a sheet for an exam, am I supposed to fill in the blank bubble for the space between my last name and my first?
 
blame space said:
Then what is the blank bubble for?
If you fill it in, the machine reading your scantron will read it as a character.

If your name is (first) Bobs (middle) Your (last) Uncle
and you fill in Bobs-Your-Uncle
Your name will be read Bobs-Your-Uncle. And you would have no middle or last name.
 
1. Why are "colonel" pronounced "kernel" and "corps" pronounced "core? It doesn't make any sense.

2. Don't people really say "bye" when they end a call in the US? People in TV shows just close the phone once they heard/said what they needed.

3. What's the phone-ringing type of sound you always hear once in an Airbus A320 when it's on its final approach to landing?

4. Why is Finnair the only airline in the world showing the wheel-camera feed in the passenger monitors when landing and taking off?
 
Why does people's breath smell bad after sleeping? What is it about sleep that gives you bad breath?

To add to this, why is Kansas pronounced Kansas, but Arkansas is pronounced Arkansaw?
