Off Topic / TI-89 game help.

« on: March 24, 2012, 12:30:06 AM »

So I installed a game called Calculator Rogue on my TI-89.
In the read-me, it says this:
- ARCHIVE EVERYTHING! You need most of your memory free when running CalcRogue.
I had no idea what that meant so I continued on. I can't run the game - it says "out of memory". What do I do - what does it mean by "archive"?

Off Topic / I feel like all of the users I've NEVER heard of are avoiding Off-Topic

what even?
I always see names I've never seen in boards like Gallery, Drama, and Help. Do they have some strange aversion to OT, or a special interest for Drama?

Games / The Great Key Hunt - dunno when this is gonna happen

« on: March 04, 2012, 05:02:47 PM »

Hey!
I'm doing a contest for 5 TF2 keys. I'm going to post the actual contest later tonight. For now, I'm gonna create a signup thread of people who want to take part, to see who's interested.
The contest will entail multiple encryption methods, so brush up on your ciphers!
Sign up here by posting your steam profile link.
I'll hold the contest in a few hours.

Post away!

UPDATE: Posting contest tomorrow. Leaving entries open.

Off Topic / Anyone have some engineering knowledge? I need help studying.

« on: February 29, 2012, 02:43:15 PM »

Here are some problems from a study sheet I'm studying for a test tomorrow.
Could anyone help me, or point me in the right direction of where to find the information needed?
5. Show me mathematically why bigger bore pistons produce more force than smaller ones, given the same pressure behind them.

8. Explain why a tank of given volume at 100 psi of pressure holds twice as much air as the same tank at 50 psi.

10. If a tank has 100 cubic inches of volume, at 100 psi and is used to activate a piston with a bore of 12" and a stroke of 6", what will the pressure of the system be, and how many pounds of force are produced by the piston?

11. At 100 psi, if the hoses and fittings used in a piston of 12" bore and 6" stroke produce a flow coefficient of .371 (cubic inches/min/psi), how many cubic inches would be released into the cylinder in .1 sec?

12. how long would it take to fully extend the piston under no load?

13. if the extended piston was disconnected and vented to the atmosphere, pushed down upon with 50 pounds of force, and the flow coefficient of the fitting was .15, how long would it take to collapse the piston?

14. if the piston was reattached to the same tank (@100 psi), but with a regulator set to 27 psi, with the same flow coefficient as question 11, how long would it take to extend the piston, how many pounds of force would it be able to support once it filled, and what will the pressure be in the tank?

7. if a piston with a 1.25" bore and a 6" stroke are fired with a tank pressurized to 65 psi, how many pounds of force would it take to push the piston back down 3"?

9. assume the piston is supporting a 20 pound weight, and the hose pops off at the tank, letting all the air escape. if the flow coefficient is 100, how long will to fully collapse?

guys please help I'm so terrified for tomorrow's test

Off Topic / What's up with my friend's computer?

« on: February 25, 2012, 02:28:10 PM »

This is my friend's computer, and Skyrim runs slow as forget. Just starting the game takes ten minutes because the opening screen/"BETHESDA STUDIOS PRESENTS" intro is so laggy.
3.00 GB of RAM
AMD Athlon 7550 Dual-Core 2.50 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

What's wrong?

On the Steam Workshop page (http://www.teamfortress.com/workshop/), there is a link to the head models for TF2. Do you guys know of anywhere I could find the entire body geometry? I'm making something but I need the whole body.

This man is goddamn brilliant. He's a 20(?) year old Catholic guy who can make fun of ANYTHING.
Go look up Words, Words, Words and Oh Bo. (which I both know by heart)

Off Topic / Spotify - Now with 20% more lovey

« on: February 20, 2012, 11:41:33 PM »

Spotify is a music program. But rather than iTunes, where music is licensed and downloaded, Spotify gives you UNLIMITED access to ANY music in their library. You stream it directly, and can create playlists and other awesome stuff.

You can get it for free, which already gives you unlimited access to ALL their music, or you can pay 10 dollars a month to get Premium, which takes away the (minimal) ads, gives you the option for HD music streaming, and adds a couple other features such as access to the app for iOS and Android.

So I have to write an essay on Stockholm syndrome.
My second body paragraph is going to be about why it happens. Got that covered. Cool.
What should I write about in the first one, and how should I support it with concrete evidence?

^HOLY stuffrichardBALLS
It's so amazing ;^;

Even if you're not an Arcade Fire fan, this is just so cool. I don't even know what genre to put this under.

Mr. Little Jeans is a Norwegian girl, by the way. She's the singer in this.
