I want to buy a jacket, specifically the model Michael Jackson wore in the thriller video, is this a good one?

or can you recommend me one?

Didn't you ask the same question a few months ago?

Well anyway, what do you want it for? If it's for everyday use (I won't judge you) then you'll probably want to avoid anything with with the term "costume" in it. You'd be better off going to a leather store and asking there.

Otherwise, if you buy from amazon, you'll probably just get what you pay for, so go for one of the more pricey options, I'd suggest this.
 
Can someone check my math on this real quick? We're doing a quick recap on some algebra stuff in my precalc class and I feel really stupid for not being entirely sure if this is right...

inverse of f(x) = (2-5x)/3
is (-3x + 2)/5

Right??

Yes.
 
How do I keep document formatting consistent across computers? I have a Macbook Pro running OSX and a netbook running Windows 7 that share documents via dropbox. The problem is, the formatting is constantly getting fucked up when I jump from one to the other (mostly in terms of bulleting and stuff). I've been saving my shit at RTF and using Open Office. What can I do to keep things consistent?
 
what is a good cheap laptop/netbook that i can get now a day? i'm not looking to play games on it. mostly just browsing and movie streaming. my 2001 hp pavilon lagging a lot and the fans blows like crazy after i watch something or go to a heavy flash site.
 
Anyone know where I could find that thread that had all kinds of cool links to video lectures and other learnin' stuff?
 
Frence-GAF: I read somewhere that many people hate Anthony Gonzalez despite being M83 bbeing one of the most loved Electronic band? Is there truth to that and what is the reason for that? Is he douche?

use the same app suites? So ODF format in open office on both platforms, or MS Office on both platforms.

Why is red always the leader? And blue the next in command? I don't understand this.

Probably just social connotations. Red is associated with courage and strength, while blue is associated with intelligence and being calm.
 
Facebook question:

I used to heavily rely on being able to share photos on facebook with people (no matter what chat program or way we were communicating) by right-clicking on the photo, getting the link to the actual picture itself (not the PAGE the photo was on in the URL at the top), and just pasting that into our chat.

The new terrible photo viewer in FB seems to prevent that now, at least on my MacBook.

What is the most efficient way of linking people to photos on facebook, OUTSIDE of facebook?

Seems to still work for me... in Chrome I right-click on the image and "Copy image URL"

If you want a longer way of doing it, view the source and do a search for "myphotolink". The link follows after "img src=".

Otherwise if you don't mind sharing the single page, there's a URL at the bottom for public linking. This will show your name and any comments though.
 
Speaking of iTunes, can someone Please confirm if it is SAFE to update iTunes to version 10.1.2 on a Jailbroken iPhone4 running firmware 4.1?

I'm trying to find some caramel flavoured chocolate - not chocolate with caramel inside... anyone know if even exists?
Click to expand...

I'm not an expert on confections, but chocolate has a stronger flavor than caramel and has no specific texture. It's used to flavor different textures. Caramel has a specific range of textures (soft to hard), and to me most of the flavor comes from the texture, because it's just sugar heated.

Actually according to Wikipedia, typical caramel candy isn't heated high enough to caramelize, so much of the flavor would come from the butter and vanilla. Actual concentrated caramel is bitter and used as a flavoring and coloring agent in various foods, including some chocolates. Interesting, I didn't know that.

Do you have to press down to scroll? I've never seen that before in a mouse.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can disable that function in the Control Panel.
Click to expand...


no, i dont have to press down to scroll but i always have and just prefer doing it rather than the actual scrolling. I wasnt having this issues a few weeks ago, think they may have updated chrome and added it. driving me crazy. ive looked in the control panel fbut no dice. Im pretty sure it has something to do with chrome as IE8 dont do it.

Silk Soy Milk Question again: Does the Original Flavor taste any good? I always go for Vanilla/Chocolate, but Id like to try the original flavor.

It is pretty much just unsweetended, unflavored soy milk and it's good as such. It is a bit plain; there isn't any sugar or extra flavoring in it if that is what you're looking for.
