Wasn't there something in scribblenauts also?
Yes. If you write NeoGAF in there, the logo appears in the form of a ball. Also, the post that Feep made in the thread about traveling back in time also appears. You have to write Post 217.

My internet connection keeps dropping.
Not using a wireless connection either.
I'm using a free modem, Verizon sent us.
Can that be the reason?
Is it raining or is there bad weather? I know sometimes my connection drops at home when it's raining or there's lightning...or it's windy. Try disconnecting it for an hour or so and reconnecting it back.

Yeah, it rained a few days ago.
Few days later and my connection is still not consistent.

:lol That's fuckin' awesome. I'll have to try that at my store tomorrow. Anybody have any pictures of it?
 
I'm selling some stuff (manga series) on ebay for the first time. I'm unsure of whether to only allow postage to the UK (where I live) or make it available worldwide. If I make it UK only, I risk losing potential buyers, but if I make it available worldwide, how do I differentiate postage costs? For that matter, I wouldn't know how much to charge for different countries, and I'm in a rush to get this stuff listed by tomorrow, so taking it all to the post office to find out (I have quite a few things to list) is kind of impractical.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think when creating the item listing there's a choice where you select where you ship. If not, then list it in the item listing itself. I think I have mine set to US only buy every so often I'll get asked if I'll ship to India, Canada, etc. I usually say no and have the question posted under the listing to stop others from bidding / asking. Normally I'll ship to Canadians though. :D

The US has a lot more potential buyers than the UK does though. Though maybe the fact that I'm selling books means that I wouldn't lose too many prospective buyers anyway, as they wouldn't want them in English?

Not to mention, it might be cheaper for them to buy them in their own country, since the pound is stronger than a lot of other currencies (unless I'm mistaken).

Yeah, the reason I tend to shy away from selling internationally is that shipping costs a ton. Whenever I have to import something it can sometimes cost more than the item itself. I'd say stick to the UK for the reasons you listed.
 
1. Why do cats suddenly fall asleep? Like my cat will be running around at high speed, and then suddenly stop and fall asleep instantly.

2. Why is Chernobyl still a radioactive wasteland? When is it predicted it become "habitable" again? (same for 3 mile island)

3. How long did it take for Hiroshima/Nagasaki to have safe radiation levels?

That's not normal. Your cat has narcolepsy.

Really? Because I've had 3 cats (only 1 at a time though) and they've all done that. Also, to the best of my knowledge, said cats were not related.

I guess it depends on how suddenly they fall asleep. Is it like this dog?

The main symptom of narcolepsy is suddenly falling into a deep sleep during regular times of activity. For example a cat playing with a ball suddenly falls to the ground in a deep sleep.

As for Chernobyl... Safe is a subjective term. There are people and animals living there now. Birds are nesting in the concreted failed reactor. It's probably not good for their health but it isn't causing them to drop dead. I can't get any solid numbers on the radiation levels though, probably because it varies so widely from location to location.
 
No, not that suddenly. They take the time to lie down first, maybe stretch. Instantly was probably too strong a word. What I mean is one moment, they'll be super high energy, and then they'll just lie down and sleep for an hour or two. They always take the time to find somewhere comfortable to lie down. It just seems like they have 2 settings, high energy and sleep. Unlike dogs I've had, they have no in between.

Where was Duckroll mentioned? I know one of the section in one of the levels is called "Wollan's view"

I am probably being an idiot, but all of a sudden my Taskbar in Windows Vista is stuck on the left side of the screen. I must have clicked something, but I have no idea what. Its incredibly irritating and I prefer it on the bottom of the screen. I have been messing around for a while now and can't figure out what to do. Any help would be great.

  1. Right click on the taskbar and choose unlock.
  2. Drag the unlocked taskbar to the bottom of the screen.
  3. Right click on the taskbar and choose lock.

Thanks. I have actually been trying that for a while to no avail. But what you said made me try a little harder. Turns out I had to click around off-screen on the bottom and then drag it a little to the right. It's back to the way I want it now and locked. :D
 
So what exactly do I do with my credit card once it expires? Do I call my credit card company and have them renew the same card, or do I have to apply for a new one?

They should send you a new one without any action on your part.
 
I saw a gif earlier today of a kid sitting in a classroom getting a bunch of books thrown at him. I can't find it anymore. Can someone help me out?
 
If I want to sell my plasma TV and Craigslist isn't a possibility (much too rural of an area), what's likely to be the best way to go about this? Just a classified ad in the local paper or is there a better option?

My cat has the worst breath, it smells like Lucifer's dong, how can I freshen it?
Our cat had REALLY bad breath, and when we finally took her to the vet because she had other health problems, the vet told us areas in her mouth were infected, and it was really nasty.

I would definitely take your cat to the vet.
 
Do cell phone games from T-Mobile cost $2.99 a month to have? Just got a new phone (Samsung Gravity 2) and was browsing the T-Mobile site for a game or two to download. Prices came us as $2.99 and a $2.99 monthly subscription fee. Could I put a Java game on a micro sd card and put it in my phone and have it work?
 
Wasn't there a Disney cartoon that had a horrible bomb of a theatrical release a few years back? I don't remember anything about it, but in my head I see some people fighting on a ship, and I think it had a ton of celebrity voices. I can't remember and it's annoying me.
 
I've had a Thermaltake 12cm fan sitting in a draw for nigh on a year now, and the side panel of my PC has been removed for about as long.

I finally got around to cutting the hole in the side panel a bit bigger the other day (there was already a smaller 8cm fan in there which was knackered) and got round to installing the newer fan.

Before putting the side panel back on, the fan was silent and the PC was acceptably audible - not silent, but not really loud enough to cause any kind of nuisance. Just loud enough to know it's running, really. As soon as I put the panel back on the volume of the running PC increased to that which is akin to 5000 360's strapped to a jet engine!

I tried getting a fan grille to cover the new fan, but it's barely made any difference.


Anyone got any good tips to dampen the PC's working volume without compromising heat removal?

There was 4 fans already installed in the case (all Thermaltake 8cm ones) which are a bit more awkward to get at - one at the rear, one at the front and one on either side in the side panels. They all appear to be set to suck air in to the PC, and the 12cm fan has been positioned to suck the hot air out of the PC.



A little help?
 
Dumb question: Do I need an avatar? I remember in the newcomer thread back when I got approved that people were saying to everyone "Advice: get an avatar or I will skip over your post."
It's not that I don't want to get one, I'm just dumb about computers and stuff and don't want to fuck up the size or something and I don't know what websites would be best to host on.

So, do I NEED one?

Also, a question I asked a couple months ago that I don't think ever got answered (perhaps because I have no avatar, hmmmm?).
Why is earwax sometimes red?

And one my buddy and I were thinking of when I was TDY to Keesler AFB last week, why are blades for razors so goddamn expensive?

You don't need one, but they really help to distinguish who you are here. Most posters get recognized by their avatars/tags.

If you don't want to fuck up the sizes, tell me what you want and I'll see if I can make something for you. I'm semi-decent with Photoshop. -edit- I can't do .gifs though.
 
Why doesn't Alt Gr + E make the euro symbol on my W7 PC. It did when I was on Vista, and all the other Alt Gr shortcuts work..

Awesome. That 'newbie' thread I was referencing, I thought about asking someone to create one in there, but then I thought it wasn't good etiquette to start immediatly begging for an avatar, so I just decided to go without one.

^This image is what I want. I can't find any bigger than that, since I am at work and 95% of the internet is blocked (but amazingly enough, not neoGAF). It's the "Brave New World" Iron Maiden album cover and my next tat, which will wrap around my left bicep, like a giant half sleeve. I jsut don't know anything about uploading it and it being squashed and the ratio changed.

Or this shirtless picture of Marky Mark would do as well: http://images.google.com/hosted/lif...images?q=shirtless+marky+mark&hl=en&sa=N&um=1
Whichever you want...
 
I'm hesitating on buying a couple christmas gifts this year, because I've never really bought gifts before. Do any good deals come out the week of christmas, or am I just waiting for nothing?

Waiting for nothing imo. If there are any good deals pre christmas (they usually hit after) you run the risk of it being sold out, then you're really in trouble.

Looks like archnemesis got the first picture covered, so I made something from the second real quick:

How does glow in the dark stuff work? Like the material that you leave out in the sun, then somehow retains some light. It just occurred to me I have no idea how this stuff works.
Is it sorcery? Witchcraft!?

Can you play PS1 games on a PS3 Slim? I know you can't play PS2, but what about PS1?
Yup. You can.

From SONY's website:

Due to the availability of an extensive line-up of PS3™ system titles, the 120GB PS3™ system is not backwards compatible with PlayStation®2 titles, but does maintain backwards compatibility for some original PlayStation® titles.
