Off Topic / Adding Percents
« on: April 11, 2010, 12:49:29 AM »
So lets say every 4 hours, 17 minutes, and 10 seconds there is a 3.5714% chance of something happening. Then, lets say, 17 hours 5 minutes and 10 seconds go by. What is the % chance of something happening once over that course of time and how would you find out?

Off Topic / I'm getting a computer
« on: February 12, 2010, 01:58:41 PM »
So yeah. I'm going to make a computer. I'm sure I can make it, I'll have my old computer to model it off of, I can always use tutorials, and if all else fails I have a friend and cousin who would probably be able to help.

Anyways, making it really is not the issue... The problem is I don't know what parts I should buy. I have a budget of 700 dollars, and I'd like the computer to, at the very least, be able to run TF2 at 30-50 fps. (I'd also like it to be able to run bioshock 2 at a reasonable fps as well, if possible)

That's really the only requirement. I would expect to have a computer than can do a little more than that for 700 dollars, but still, back to the main point- I don't know what to buy. Think anyone here could compile a list of compatible parts?

(Just for the record, I asked someone a while ago if he'd help out, but he hasn't thus far. Needless to say that if he does I'll probably take his advice.)

TL;DR: Compile a list of computer parts for me with a cost of 700 dollars that can run tf2.

Off Topic / Morrowind, WHY?
« on: January 17, 2010, 08:32:10 PM »
Seriously, my computer is getting on my nerves. I've been attempting to play Morrowind for the past day now, but so help me god if it doesn't implode whenever I try to do anything with it.

Recently, I uninstalled it, and then decided I wanted to play it so I reinstalled it. Now, whenever I save it saves to the virtual store, and whenever I load it loads from the actual folder Morrowind is in. So I had to search for appdata and make a shortcut to there, and now every time I quit I need to make copies of my saves. Also I can't overwrite saves so I need to make a new save game every time I want to save.

Furthermore, I can't download anything directly to the folder. Every time I do it downloads to the virtual store and becomes invisible. So I had to make a separate folder in the D drive, save things to there and move the files from there into the folder.

Up until now things have been manageable. But this, THIS, THIS IS A TRAVESTY. THIS NEW OCCURRENCE IS HORRIBLE. I got pissed because as I was selling stuff to the Creeper, he didn't have enough things I could buy. So I went onto the construction set so I could hack it up a little and make it so he had unlimited gold. However, once I was finished I tried to save and it said something to the extent of "you cant save, would you like to continue running the executable?"

Well, luckily, I had a friend who also has Morrowind so I told him to help me. He made the file, uploaded it, and I tried to download it. Well, it didn't work. So I figured I'd download it to another folder to see if I could move it to the folder. I tried moving it there, it didn't work. I figured I'd try copy and pasting the file there, and it didn't work. At last, after several attempts, I thought of compressing the file and extracting it into the folder. That worked just fine. But honestly, this means that the only way for me to be able to make mods is for me to guide my friend through the process and then have him save it, upload it, then have me download it to a different folder, compress it, and then extract it. And seriously, I am sick of Morrowind's stuff. And so, to conclude this ridiculously long post, does anyone know how to fix this?

TL;DR: Morrowind decided to be broken, someone help me fix it.

(Also I didn't know if this should go in games or off topic, it really isn't about the game, more about how broken it is on my computer.)

EDIT: Even worse my friend edited the game wrong and the creeper has 0 gold now.

Off Topic / Skype- without the talking
« on: January 04, 2010, 07:42:58 PM »
This... This is the production of me and my friend when we use skype for typing to each other rather than talking. Ordinarily, our discussions create chaos that would anger or instill fear into those listening, but typing creates some sort of harmony, where we both feed off of each others stupidity, escalating into an infinite loop of lunacy and ignorance, until finally the talking ends without warning, and an awkward moment ensues.

These conversations are generally saved for those worthy, however we have made a joint decision that this one in particular shall be shared with you. YOU have been deemed worthy.

Also, keep in mind... This topic is srz forgetin' bznz. No humor will be tolerated.

ALSO, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE THIS DOCUMENT SYMMETRICAL. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.

Help / Moving forward
« on: November 25, 2009, 09:57:31 AM »
Whenever I press any button that makes my blockland character do something, he moves forward. (This is especially annoying when using jets, since my mouse is broken and the jets stutter on and off, I'm usually jetting forward constantly.) Even when I try to place a brick, he walks forward. Coincidentally, I discovered this new feature while attempting to build the base for my build on the side of a cliff... Repeatedly walking off the cliff were my motives for closing blockland and posting this topic.

The problem very well could be because of my keyboard, however I haven't had problems like this before, and my keyboard isn't spamming the "w" key repeatedly.

Is there any reason for this, or any way to fix it?

Is it just me or do they break a lot? My mic broke last night, and this is the 2nd time one of my mics have just randomly died on me.

Is there a reason aside from it just felt like dying? If there is, can I fix it on my own? If so then how?

Off Topic / Physics is just what is this.
« on: September 24, 2009, 08:07:56 PM »
I've been having trouble on this problem in physics since monday. I've been given no other problems like it, I have found no formulas I could use to solve it, and to me it just seems all around impossible. I'm sure if someone better at this kind of thing than I am would point out the error of my ways I'd see I'm wrong, but for now this is just ridiculous.

Suggestions & Requests / Tracking Device
« on: September 07, 2009, 03:19:16 PM »
I want a one shot gun that when you shoot someone with it, you'll always be able to see where they are. I don't care how this is indicated, an arrow pointing in their direction, their name always being visible, seeing a bright red image of them when they are behind walls, whatever.

Of course, once the person dies, it should stop tracking them.

One other aspect of this gun should be fulfilled; it should be disguised as something else. I personally think it should look like guns akimbo, and when you shoot the first shot it turns into guns akimbo. One way you might be able to pull this off (since having a weapon where after one shot it starts shooting something else may be impossible to make without having glitches) is after they shoot the first shot, it removes the gun from the persons inventory and replaces it with the actual guns akimbo. (However I'm no coder... Whichever way seems easier for you, go for it.)

I can honestly say I doubt someone will put forth the time and effort needed to make something like this, but if anyone who is capable of making it feels the need, please do.

Oh yes. On accident of course. But honestly, I swear to god, I am the only person I know who could accomplish such a failure. I cut myself with a blade of grass. Now I have a 1 or 2 millimeter deep cut on my thumb... It feels like a paper cut.

Drama / Religious Topics
« on: June 03, 2009, 03:01:44 PM »
Seriously, stop turning topics into religious debates. I've seen several topics turn into all out arguments. This needs to stop, especially since the topics usually get flooded and gain 7 pages in like 5 minutes, leaving people who have something to say near no time to respond to idiotic comments or flaws in peoples logic.

Personally, I think it would be okay if on both sides of the argument everyone had a strong belief with some sort of reason for believing it. Along with that, people need to stop saying "You're dumb for believing in God." Honestly, I've seen idiots on both sides of the debate, and it seems to me like it's pretty much only folks on the atheists side doing the insulting. (Don't take this personally, if you think I'm wrong then show me some evidence and I'll change that comment.)

If you look at this argument from afar, you'll notice something even more astonishing; people trying to disprove God by saying "it couldn't happen" and those trying to say "evolution doesn't exist because it's improbable" are both wrong in a sense of the word. No one can say either is right or wrong at this current time. I agree, educating people on God or evolution is fine. But telling people they need to stop believing something because they're wrong about an opinion is completely false. Believe what you believe, tell people what you want and correct people on misinterpretations of what they've heard. But for the love of God and all that is holy, stop being ignorant and telling people their opinion is wrong.

If I remember the other things I wanted to say, I will say them. But for now, this is all.

TL;DR: Keep your opinions to yourself.

« on: May 03, 2009, 07:51:16 PM »
So yeah. I think I have the most handicapped history teacher ever. He is highly unreasonable as far as grading goes and his tests are ridiculous.

For the whole first semester I got graded down for handicapped as hell things. In the 2nd week of school I had the flu so I missed a bunch of things. I took initiative and did all my assignments, turned them all in and when I got to his class he was too busy to accept things and I was unaware of how he wanted late things turned in. So I waited a day, and when he wasn't busy I asked how I could turn in my absent work. He said just give the papers to him and they'd all be late and be docked half the points. On other assignments I'd get graded down by half for forgetting my name, or the date of birth of some random guy. (The name thing, fine sure whatever. But still, half points?) Not to mention his tests didn't contain content from history. They were basically tests with 30 people on them. Yeah, forget knowing things that happened, let's learn names! Jesus, I can barely remember my friends' names let alone some old guys who are long gone by now.

Even so, at the end of the semester I went to my councelor. I asked if I could switch out of his class for second semester. The answer I got was "no, unless you're failing." Unless you're failing. So the only way for an A student to get out of a class he absolutely despises is to completely and utterly rape his GPA? Alright whatever. (By failing, I mean getting a D or an E.) So after that meeting I predicted my grade. My prediction was my grade would be a C. Lower than what I would consider acceptable, and higher than what I needed. I was 100% right.

And now, in the second half of the year, things have been getting a bit better until now. A project. A project involving what I despise with the very depth of my soul. I need to interview a veteran. This is quite a problem for me, since I only know 1 veteran and he's in Wisconsin. So I asked if I could interview a PoW, he said OK. I asked my mom if my grandpa was one, she said he was. So I interview him, turns out he wasn't a prisoner of war, but rather, he was a prisoner. So now, I have to do my project on a person who is an exception of an exception, and I have to present it.

So I have decided that instead of present it I will do the project and just say "Hey heres my thing. I cant present msrry. I forgot how to talk." or something to that extent. This project is worth 2 test grades. If you don't do it it's worth 4. that's 4 0/100 grades in the grade book. Now, my question is, based on what I have typed here, does anyone believe he will be reasonable and say "okay you tried. here, only 2 0/100s." Or will he say something more along the lines of "No. You didn't present. Go die." I have already made up my mind as to what I'm doing, I'm pretty forgeted anyways, just wondering what you guys think and which of us is being unreasonable.

TL;DR: My teacher's a richard.
