Off Topic / Libre Office or Open Office?
« on: April 28, 2016, 05:54:28 PM »
Im doing a project for school where I am to create a cover page and it needs to be artsy with pictures, text boxes and things
I have Microsoft word 2010 but it does not allow me to freely rotate a text box like I need it to and its irritating.

Should I use open office or libre office?

Off Topic / The Powerball is soon to reach 1.5 bil by next Wednesday
« on: January 10, 2016, 12:27:28 AM »
This is getting pretty ridiculous tbh. Today it was at 900mil and since no one got it today its going to be re drawn next Wednesday and its estimated that it will hit 1.3bil by then. Granted chances are literally nothing I bought my first lottery ticket today so that's something.

so forums,
What would you do with 1.3 billion dollars? or What are your stories from playing the lottery?

Off Topic / html/xhtml/css? cursor help
« on: January 04, 2016, 03:37:21 PM »
I was inspired by this page https://www.reddit.com/r/ooer to use the gawdawfull sock cursor as a default cursor for all of my web page class assignments.  Main thing is how do I add a custom cursor in html? What I tried doesn't seem to be working. Also, how would I go about getting that cursor from the reddit site or at least a screenshot of it so I can edit it and turn it into a .cur/.ani file?

Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

    <head>
      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
      <title>Cursor Test</title>

<style type="text/css">

body{
  cursor: url('cursor/sock.cur'), auto;
        }
</style>

    </head>

    <body>
    <p>Hello worl</p>
    </body>

  </html>

also the sock.cur that im using here is a sock image that i found, resized to 128x128, deleted the background, saved as a png and renamed it to sock.cur

This showed up in my news feed and I thought it was pretty interesting. Im curious to know blf's opinion on this though.

i mean its not like the captive orcas can go back to the ocean without a lot of conditioning to remove the human imprint from them, if its even possible

oh and its was mostly supported by peta so theres that

Off Topic / What is this on Evga's rebate site?
« on: July 22, 2015, 09:00:19 AM »


I went to the Microcenter store and bought a gtx 960 and on my long ass receipt there is nothing that specifically says order/invoice number.

on the receipt it lists a: reference number, serial number, offer number(filled out where it says offer code) and some number that's listed after the card name
what do i even use for this?

Games / agar.io - eat all the things!
« on: May 13, 2015, 09:59:04 PM »

the goal is simple, eat food particles and other players in the quest to become the biggest blob on the field.

game mechanics:
the bigger you are the slower you move
press spacebar to divide into two smaller blobs. One half of you shoots forward quickly, use this trick to strike other players and eat them.
if you are divided you can recombine into one blob after a certain period of time has passed, the bigger your blobs the longer you have to wait before you can form into one blob again
if you are smaller than the spikeballs then you can hide inside them for protection, but beware, if you are larger than a spikeball then touching it makes you burst into many tiny blobs.
you can't eat or be eaten by players the exact same size as you
the servers are periodically reset
(copied from facepunch)

i saw a few friends of mine playing it at school so i tried it too

Off Topic / Tips for evaluating logs without a calculator?
« on: May 04, 2015, 09:26:53 PM »
so i have another test to do tomorrow and there is a no calculator part where you have to evaluate "simple" logs
for example







my biggest issues are with the ones that either have fractions or negative numbers as answers

is there a different way to solve them besides thinking "49 to the x power is 7"?
