A gaffer (name escapes me) MSpainted the Red, Blue, Green and Yellow guy onto picture of some random lady who walked into Evilore's and subsequently fell asleep on his bed. Evilore hosted that picture in the thread he made and lo and behold, a new meme was born. It has to be in the archive pages somewhere.Forearms said:

I need to fulfill my Science Core Requirements in college. I was thinking Intro to Geology, because it sounded interesting. Is there much math involved? Its either that, Chem or Biology, but I have heard those are kind of intense. Thanks.

How is this legal?
Any crust! Any size!
Except stuffed crust! Oh, and extra large (super supreme) costs more too. So much for any crust and any size.
And the subway ads to.
"Any foot long is $5!"
Except half of them.
Why is that legal?
What if it said.
"Any crust! Any toppings! Any size"
*Medium cheese pizza only"
Is that legal?

Can anyone explain the meme about the picture of the fat kid in the band uniform holding a flute, with the legend "My parents told me I could be anything I want. So I decided to become a God."?

The only verbs in the ad are "ends," "order," and "may vary." It never says any pizza would be $10. In fact, it says on the bottom that prices and pizza options may vary.
I automatically tune out those types of ads, because the quoted price is never the same where I live. In fact, those nationwide tv commercials with special prices will usually have a small-print disclaimer at the last split second saying the price will be higher here.
But that's advertising.

I did Environmental Science. It was the science for all the people who suck at math.
I also took Physics as my physical science (?) and there wasn't much math in that either. My professor said that there was no way any of us was smart enough to comprehend physics so why try. We were graded on a curve. I got a 36 out of 100 and I got an A.
What is the meaning, purpose or inside joke behind the Simpsons GIF Ive seen people using for years with the little boy with his head on the desk, flipping a switch back and forth from a green light to a red light.
Is it supposed to convey frustration? I feel like Im missing context.

pizza hut? they actually did do the any crust back in the days like a couple of months actually. i ordered stuff crust and it was $10.jamesinclair said:
i was wondering when my cousin asked me about this.
The context is that Ralph is in a focus group; turn the dial to green if you like whatever is going on, red if you don't. Ralph dislikes something (I can't recall) so much that he breaks down crying and continuously toggles the dial to red. It's basically saying that something is really stupid/you really dislike it.Puncture said:
Lost question, so if you haven't seen up to season five I suggest that you don't highlight this spoiler.
Just curious.
OK, so Jack, Kate and Hurley came back to the island and joined Sawyer and the gang with the Dharma inish in the 70's. If they were on the same plane, how is it that Locke, Sun and Ben are in the present time? Or are they actually in the same time period?

Why is Itunes on xp machine such a bloated, slow, ineffective piece of shit? It's like apple doesn't really care too much about the porting to Windows machine. Pretty much each version works slower than the previous version.

While I used it on my XP machine, it worked just fine. I used it almost everyday for listening to music and iPod purposes.
It worked just fine with Vista and not the Windows 7 too if that matters.
Posting this on gaming side, but I guess I'll see what answers I can get here too, as the problem is mostly non-gaming related.
So I had a 120 gig external USB hard drive that recently died. I had installed steam on there so I wouldn't have to fill up my main drive with a bunch of huge games. So when the drive crashed I obviously could not use steam. So I decided to re-install it on my main hard drive, and when I opened it up it said
"Error Invalid Drive I" (which was the drive steam was installed to)
So I'm guessing that my computer thinks I have Steam already installed and can't find the files and won't let me install a new version of steam.
I've tried plugging the drive in and removing Steam and reformatting the drive, but about two seconds after I put the drive in, the computer freezes until I take the drive out.
What do I do GAF? I need mah TF2!!!

Why do I always get sleepy after drinking alcohol?
I get drunk but I never get sick or blackout drunk anymore because I always fall asleep before I get really drunk. I've always been a bit of a light weight but this is on another level. It wouldn't be a problem as it's a good excuse to stop drinking and avoid getting sick, but you see, it's a problem when my girlfriend wants to spend the night. I fall asleep before anything happens! Even if I consciously tell myself not to fall asleep and drink an energy drink to keep myself going, the second I'm at rest, I fall asleep. A deep sleep too; I don't get up until some ungodly hour like 5AM when I suddenly panic as I try to recollect what happened before I passed out. It's led to a couple of fights; nothing that serious but I can tell it's something that really upsets and frustrates her. Drinking less doesn't necessarily help. Sometimes it happens after a few drinks, other times it takes a lot of drinks to settle in and it sneaks up on me. It's unpredictable and coupled with being tired after a long day (I go to bed at 11PM and get up at 7AM everyday except Fri and Sat) it's impossible for me to accurately predict when it will happen unless I don't drink at all. That's the extreme solution but I'm hoping I can figure something out before it comes to that.
Does this happen to anyone else?

Who knows if that specifically is true... but it probably does have to do with Apple's proprietary practices.cityhunter said:

Sports-gaf help me out. Today I played a game of soccer, took a break for an hour, and went back out to the field and practiced for an hour or so longer. Now every time I move my legs into the wrong position I'm getting horrible, agonizing cramps. Like the whole muscle that runs down the back of my thigh to my calf is locking up, and its very hard to do anything but stand in pain and try to rub/bend it out. Any tips for getting rid of this shit?

I can never tell if milk stinks or not because it always smells weird to me. I'm not the biggest milk fan. I'm fine with it in cereal and can dunk cookies in it but can't drink it straight.

What is bandwidth exactly? How can companies charge money for it? It's not like water or electricity, and it's not like these companies are "hosting" the internet and allowing us access to it.
Also, why do domain name websites get to control internet domains? When I buy www.myname.com for my portfolio, what am I buying exactly? Why can I buy it from multiple different retailers, and why do they have the privilege to sell it to me?
In other words, how the fuck does the internet work?

Word, it happens semi-regularly so thanks for the tips.
Also after posting I adjusted in my seat and my knees bent just slightly enough to put my legs angled under my computer chair.. and whatdya know the cramps kick it to high gear. I was actually locked in the seat with my legs tucked against the bottom. It's happened to me before, but gd if it doesn't hurt more than you remember. Fuck cramps. :x

Regarding the internet stuff, the internet is based around big internet pipes which can only handle so much traffic at one time, and routers, which channel packets of data around the world. The more of it there is, the slower it is, unless you add more/better routers and lay down more transcontinental cables, etc. That's why they don't want everyone downloading at full speed all the time. The charges pay for the useage as well as dissuade people from going nuts with what they have.
As for the domain name thing, the internet uses something called the domain name system to convert URLs like www.neogaf.com into the IP addresses used between machines. Domain name registrars are companies who are allowed to update the giant internet phone book and then send it out to dns servers so they all know which IP address is hosting the website www.sexygoats.com (or whatever).

I know that organizations like ICANN are the ones who allow registrars to do this, but I've always wondered what's stopping someone from doing this on their own.moojito said:
I only recently noticed that Photoshop has an option for choosing between 8, 16 and 32 bit color. I use Photoshop and Painter to make various digital paintings, nothing particularly spectacular. Is there any use to go above the default 8 bit color? I seem to have been using that all this time, and it seems that when I open my digital photographs in Photoshop, the 8 bit option is still checked. Bumping my latest drawing up to 16 bit color increased the filesize by nearly 8 times as well.

Only if the road you're already on is also one way.Zozobra said:
The idea of right on red is that you aren't cutting across any lane, so if you're turning left, the only way to manage that is if both the road you are on, and the road you are turning onto are one way. Otherwise, you'd be cutting across the oncoming lane.
Alternatively, go to Australia.
GAF, I need help with google groups. I need to access one for a class. Someone made it and sent it to my school account which forwards the email to my gmail account, so I thought I joined with my gmail account via the link they provided, but it doesn't show up when I click on groups at the gmail menu, however it says I'm in the group when the creator checks. Am I just missing on how to access the group or something?

I'm pretty sure there should be a sign if you can, like Left on Red Only After Stop. I can only think of one intersection I've gone through with this; it's pretty rare to have a traffic light at an intersection of 2 one-way streets.
