Kernel PanicI can't remember the last time I had a BSOD, must have been many years.
The only thing that still drives me crazy are drivers of boards with realtek audio.. (first ting I now look at when buying a mainboard is not having one of these f***** chips on...
Makeup Girlsphotoshop told me that it doesn't fit together ^^;
In the process I noticed that the camera settings are the reason for the difference in skintone, notice the greenish background of the before picture?
Generally think strong makeup makes a person l...
Recycling is RubbishHe's likely referring to that it's easier to get funding if your research is for studying global warming. No apocalypse = no money, no job.
AGW critics usually speak of being suppressed by colleges and institutions for this reason.
The rising and f...
Recycling is Rubbishthanks for the information, I only knew it somehow had to do with ruminant digestion but never bothered to look up on which end the gases leave the animal ^^;;
Recycling is RubbishThe big problem with global temperature change is that there are a lot of "may" "if" and "possibly" on both sides, the basic way the influence is calculated still doesn't even seem completely clear:

Eye TalkI think the fashion of tanning your skin surfaced when it became a status symbol th travel to the beach on holidays getting a tan in the process.
Prior to this a light skin color was preferred (a tan indicating that you're a peasant). The side effec...
Eye TalkIsn't the golden ratio more an exact number independent of culture? 1.61803... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio (although it might be used more often for analyzing beauty in western countries)
The end of Code Geass12 eps often feels too short. But maybe that's because the shorter series tend to be more enjoyable and well written then those that are dragged on. A definite end gives the option of working towards it.
hmm.. how will geass end...

California Maid Cafesooo, this is a normal cafe with maid dresses as uniform?
At least is states that they don't target otaku otherwise it'd just be embarrassing.
Japan TornadoYes there is the theory that the solar activity is the main cause of change in temperature. But I'm referring to the way only the greenhouse effect is calculated.
Japan TornadoI just read that unlike previous estimates that believed that US tornadoes are generally stronger than the ones in the EU it's just as likely for one over here to be a big one. We only get fewer in general, and the small ones that only flip cars don'...
Japan Tornadomaybe cause bricks are more resistant than loosely stacked plywood. ^^;
I was kinda shocked when seeing a documentary on US tornadoes where they showed "specialized" equipment for keeping your roof from being blown away..
Angled sheet iron peaces w...
Japan TornadoCan't find the data at the moment but wasn't there a new formula for calculating the greenhouse effect that (unlike the one generally used!) isn't based on an infinitely thick atmosphere..
Giving much less drastic results.
No disasters except a bi...
24 Screens setupPutting six 4-port graphics cards (mixed PCI and PCIe) into the system will cost about €/$ 2400 (400 each) plus ~3600 for 24 cheap 17 or 19inch LCDs (150 each)
The used stands look like ergotron DS100 which alone would set you back a few thousand fo...
24 Screens setupMac only supports 4 screens? that would really suck if it's true.
24 monitors is not hard even when not using USB monitors.
XP supports 10 screens naively, extendable to infinite with additional software.
(Don't know about additional vista softwar...
No GF Means Killertypos.. orz
need to explain more,
personalty development happens mostly during childhood, so if his brain is defective as adult, this won't be changed by his partner. It could only help repress his actions.
No GF Means Killercan anyone find statistics about the motives of murder in japan?
I'd be interesting to compare the recent figures to those of murder due to having a GF (crime due to problems in the relationship)
From what I've read killers usually miss lack being...
Dual MonitorI used to have several monitors on my desk, but currently only using a 30inch Dell (2560x1600). Putting some on the sides would be nice but I'm trying to resist to save the money until OLED or FED monitors become available.
Killer Enjoyed AnimeI think there were some words on this in the bullying thread. Many of us became otaku due to the lack of a better world outside of the basement.
The problem is that the public does not seem to differentiate the reasons for preferring an imaginary wo...
12 Stabbed in AkihabaraThe argumentation does make sense considering our current knowledge of the killer's intentions.
But when suddenly facing a psycho toying with a blade or gun you don't know if he's desperate to kill people, making an attack a potentially very unneces...
12 Stabbed in AkihabaraI remember my teacher always stressing that even with training, the only reasonable unarmed way of reacting to a knife is to run, something I fully agree on.
And even a 12th dan won't help you when being stabbed in the back... or run over.
12 Stabbed in AkihabaraAthough our general japanophilia might lead to an interest an martial arts, this doesn't quite work for japanese.
The sick logic behind choosing akihabara might be that the attacker wanted to face as little physical resistance as possible, expecting...
