A: How fast would someone have to run to travel vertically up a wall?

Assuming you could get traction against the wall, you could run or walk up it at any speed. However, the problem is that for the large majority of circumstances, you cannot get traction against a vertical wall. The reason we can walk across the ground is because gravity pushes us downwards. This...

> Not to mention that to go really high would require you to run at the wall so fast that you'd splat when you jumped at it to start running up (splatting is bad, just fyi).

Q: What if I delete the full Registry?

@Xander, it's rather more a physics thing: if you throw a modem off a sufficiently tall building, you can find its terminal velocity. — Mark 2 hours ago

@HackToHell wtf CSO

HackToHell

@Bob me thinks stats are wrong ;p

Bleh my teachers are fucking stupid

They want me to use VB and Oracle SQL to write a frontend

And I'll have to do in Visual Basic 6 IDE

which is fucking crap

Shit was released 23 years ago

And we have to use learn Oracle SQL cause that's what the stupid sysadmin knows to install -_-

Fuck my college

Bob

@hack we used it too.

Though weirdly the dB forensics class used an older version of ms sql

HackToHell

13:48

@JourneymanGeek vb or oracle sql ?

Journeyman Geek

14:01

Oracle SQL. I didn't have any coding class

HackToHell

It isn't too bad, the only problem is i can't try things out from home

This is so cool s.basketbuild.com/services

Specious

...

That Brazilian Guy

Reeeeally clarifying.

What does google say?

> 1. Having the ring of truth or plausibility but actually fallacious: a specious argument.
2. Deceptively attractive.

Hmmm

So I am either fallacious or deceptively attractive. I prefer chosing the latter.

Heya all, just popping in for a bit

SpartanDonut

Hey there

allquixotic

I've been dealing with more computer problems (parents' desktops, laptops and tablets) than I'd like over the course of this weekend. I'm all SuperUsered out, and I haven't even visited SU.com!

SpartanDonut

lol then I'll troubleshoot silently for now ;)

holy shit I might have fixed it (kind of)

More testing needs to be done

I disabled the unused wireless band on my network adapter and pings to the router seem significantly more consistent and whatnot

Real world testing / extended use to see if the problem has disappeared is needed though

allquixotic

22:23

good call

SpartanDonut

I think the Roku might be causing problems on the 2.4ghz band

It's uses this WiFi direct stuff for the remote

on inssider the 5ghz band looks super duper stable but then I had a problem with my PC and my wife didn't... replugging my adapter solved the problem

So maybe something at the adapter level is being disrupted by the interference and not actually a lot of interference in the signal itself

Just watching the pings I'm pretty optimistic but we'll see what happens.... since its always been an intermittent problem who knows really

Additionally I double checked with the wife on when we got the Roku and she confirmed sometime in August

The timing is about right considering I really started to notice very early september

Bob

Windows ruins everything? No. Commons.IO is the one that fucked up there. Or your usage of it.

SpartanDonut

22:45

You're preaching to the choir man... When people say they hate something and out of genuine curiosity I ask why, what happened, etc... and then I suggest maybe they were taking the wrong approach they get super defensive and I get labeled as a fanboy, etc.

Needless to say, people suck.

allquixotic

@SpartanDonut reminds me of the crusade against Java and Mono.

SpartanDonut

Haha
