He's not in anything.
 
@RonanForman Clothes.
 
Pretty sure that's just Link stand'In'
 
@MrSmooth Smooth.
 
7:17 PM
Wonder if this works.
 
@RonanForman Kinda tempted to make a 'that's what she said' joke.
 
Someone go to that link and test.
 
@GnomeSlice I don't get it.
 
@RonanForman It's just a secure chatting platform.
 
@GnomeSlice It works then?
 
7:22 PM
I said woof to the puppy that's in the room.
 
My math must be rusty... I can't remember why 2^(5/2) - 2^(3/2) = 2^(3/2)
 
Anyone know what the information under 'fingerprints' is?
For example:
> Nanor: 9C261F90:11841F2B:D4FEE317:47F88145:52E67178
 
Seems to just be a way to verify you're talking to someone you actually know
like you text/call them and ask them what they're fingerprint is, and if it matches the one listed they're the right person
stops people talking to you under the same nickname and impersonating the person you really want to talk to
 
Can someone tell me a joke that could go on an fat person t-shirt?
 
@Powerlord It doesn't?

Q: Disable Mini-Map Rotation in Battlefield 3

Kyle BrandtIs there a way to disable the mini-map rotation in Battlefield 3? I would rather North on the map was always facing up.

 
P.S. Modern Warfare 3's power level is now over 9000
 
@Ullallulloo I punched it into a calculator. Unless the Windows Calculator is being funky.
 
5/2 = 2.5
3/2 = 1.5
2^2.5 - 2^1.5 = 2.8284271247461900976033774484194
 
@Ullallulloo 2 ^ 1.5 = 2.8284271247461900976033774484194
 
@Powerlord oh, right :x
 
7:27 PM
Hence, 2^2.5 - 2^1.5 = 2^1.5
The problem is, how would you figure that without the calculator? I'm sure there's some rule for it somewhere that I don't remember.
 
If I had a website, I'd have to try Mouse Eye Tracking.
 
Oak
@Powerlord umm
2 is 2^1
multiplying 2^1 by 2 gives you 2^2
so, increases exponent by 1
likewise, multiplying 2^1.5 gives you 2^2.5
which is what you wrote
Unless I'm somehow grossly mistaken.
 
Why does s.tk/maths not go anywhere?
 
7:32 PM
Easier now?
 
@RonanForman because you added an s.
 
@MrSmooth All I read was "Because you spelt it correctly."
 
@RonanForman Pretty much. It's a "math" site, not a spelling/grammar site.
 
@MrSmooth What the hell is math?!
 
@GnomeSlice Key.
@RonanForman Well, you know you can put any joke there, you don't have to worry about space.
 
7:36 PM
@ArdaXi Key?
 
@GnomeSlice For the public-key cryptography?
 
But yeah, anyway, I guess I should have considered that you can simplify 2^(5/2) to 2^(2/2)*2^(3/2) which them simplifies the entire equation to 2(2^(3/2)) - 1(2^)3/2) and you can then subtract 2-1 and end up with 2^(3/2)
 
@ArdaXi The what?
 
Also, I forgot if SE chat supports math(s) constructs.
 
Math is: image not found.
@Powerlord Don't think so.

Public-key cryptography refers to a cryptographic system requiring two separate keys, one to lock or encrypt the plaintext, and one to unlock or decrypt the cyphertext. Neither key will do both functions. One of these keys is published or public and the other is kept private. If the lock/encryption key is the one published then the system enables private communication from the public to the unlocking key's owner. If the unlock/decryption key is the one published then the system serves as a signature verifier of documents locked by the owner of the private key. This cryptographic appro...

@ArdaXi You're not putting up a good argument.

Q: How can a slower player deal with run and gun opponents in MW3?

LarsenalIf I'm not one of those players sprinting everywhere, how can I be effective if my play is a bit slower paced? Is there any chance of competing against high-speed play (particularly with respect to movement) without doing the same?

 
@Powerlord 2^(5/2) = 2*2^(3/2) - 2^(3/2) = 2^(3/2)?

Q: Does the hit location on a tank determine the damage?

Adam RobinsonOver the last couple of days, I've noticed that sometimes when I'm in a tank at full health that a single hit from an opposing tank will end up disabling my tank (or at least heavily impairing it, if that's possible). That single hit usually takes out over 50% of the health, whereas I've usually ...

Q: Where can I legally download SIM Farm?

stephiI loved playing Sim Farm growing up and I want to down load it again (legally). Does anyone know where I can download it and if it will work on my laptop that has Windows 7?

 
@GnomeSlice The aesthetics and music were interesting, the gameplay looked neat but too slow-paced, the trailer was pretty bad because it spent 1 minute and ten seconds showing you static text and the game looked like it was being played on a computer that couldn't handle the graphics.
 
@GnomeSlice ah yes this game
 
Interesting
 
8:49 PM
You know how silly it is in Oblivion that you can see crystal-clear under water as long as the camera is only halfway submerged, but as soon as it is fully underwater, it's all murky?
Yeah. Skyrim has the same graphic bug. So much for "new, improved engine".
 
@MartinSojka Just because the engine shares a bug with the previous one doesn't mean it isn't an improvement.
 
@GnomeSlice Holy crap
 
@Wipqozn Looking through some "XBox 360 HD" walkthroughs, and the engine might have some better draw distance, the LoD is definitively better, but that's about it. Most of the objects in game are different, but not better than in Oblivion. Some places lack even faked AO (not to mention the total lack of real AO). Animations still look as stiff as in Oblivion, with NPCs sliding around and so on.
They have a nice water shader, but it isn't better than the one from the OBGE project. Water looks about the same as up-to-date modded Morrowind water.
I sure hope the quest and scripting engine is vastly improved, because the graphics aren't. :)

Q: Does Gladius work with the XBox360?

BeskaGladius is one of those great turn-based strategy games that I like to go back to once in a while. But now that my old PS2 is packed away, it's not so easy. If I pick up a copy for the original XBox, will it work in my 360?

Why does that second answer have exactly as many upvotes?
 
@MartinSojka What's AO?
I can't find any thing remotely relevant: all-acronyms.com/AO

Q: How to set up a Mario Kart tournament with multiple players per round

JDSAll the tourney systems I've found and tourney management systems online assume that each round, only one player or team is going to compete against a single other player or team. In Mario Kart, though, you can have up to four players per round. How to set up or what kind of tourney system will...

 
@MartinSojka They obviously couldn't have improved the graphics much since it had to still run on the PS3 and Xbox.
 
@Ullallulloo Well, they could have improved them for the PC version, but as far as I know this only gets some higher-resolution textures.
 
@MartinSojka Yeah, I was hoping for that too, but meh.
I think the big improvement is supposed to be the animations.
 
@ArdaXi To anger you.
 
9:07 PM
@Ullallulloo They aren't. Look about the same quality as Fallout 3, with people standing around stiffly while discussing the end of the world, NPCs sliding into position after they found themselves a foot too far to the right of where the next animation should be playing, animations not blending fluidly if they blend at all (leading to "skipping"), kids having the same basic animation for actions as adults, and NPCs floating some inches above ground as often as they sink into it.
 
@MartinSojka That just sounds buggy, not bad graphics...
 
I wonder if I should submit that meeting's results to the DailyWTF.
@Lazers Up to 12 players if you're playing online.
 
9:25 PM
Removed? REMOVED?
 
Why was the lazers post deleted?
Mod abuse? Probably mod abuse.

Yes, let's call it that
 
@Powerlord oh?
@GraceNote What was the question he posted? If I may so inquire.
 
A question that got self-deleted before the feeds posted it. So it were broken post.
 
Ah, okay. Makes sense.
 
9:29 PM
Oh right, I forgot to mention this. OK, it turns out that the master version of the database for the new version of the department's flagship application isn't stored on the Dev, UAT, or Production servers... but on a VM that has no primary backup except VM snapshots.
 
@GraceNote But now I can't see it. :(
 
The hard drive said VM and its snapshots are on developed bad sectors.
 
@ArdaXi That were rather the point. It'd be like leaving broken glass on the floor of your bathroom.
 
@GraceNote Walking on broken glass builds character.
 
The VM is now bluescreening on startup and apparently the snapshots are sequential rather than differences from base,
 
9:30 PM
@GraceNote No, but if there were a link, I could still see it.
 
@Powerlord So, your flagship product is essentially gone?
 
I prefer broken glass to a missing window.
 
34856
 
@Wipqozn No, but the latest changes to the database tables and stored procedures are.
 
@GraceNote Ah. It's always really interesting when you don't know what it is.
@Powerlord Depending on the severity of the problem you can always try file carving.

Q: Does MW3 let you more than 1 person play over LAN with one copy of the disc?

KCWI want to play over LAN with my family and friends without needing to buy more than one copy of the disc to play. This will be for the PC version as it will be on various PC's in the same house. Please let me know if it's possible, and if so, how it works, because they are using steam again...

A: Does MW3 let you more than 1 person play over LAN with one copy of the disc?

oeziYou can't logon with the same steam account twice and you need steam to play. the only "legal" way is to buy a copy for everyone who wants to play. PS: there might be cracks out there that allow you to do this (didn't check that) - but even if so, you'll have to find them on your own because tho...

We might want to remove that second paragraph.
 
@ArdaXi done
 
Why do people always assume that "It might be a good idea to" means "Do this for me"?

No idea if this is legit.
Steam database, hashed and salted passwords, encrypted credit card information, usernames, purchase history. Change your passwords ASAP
 
@ArdaXi I heard the forums were hacked the other day
 
> Today a message went out to all Steam users.
Nope.
 
Yeah, negatory here too
 
I'm guessing hoax.
 
@FallenAngelEyes The rumours say "about six days ago", but I didn't care enough to verify it.
 
10:51 PM
Looks like it might be legit after all.
 
Okay, so...
Steam database compromised, change your passwords ASAP.

Can you star that so others know?
 
Don't they all say that it's just the forums' passwords compromised?
 
@Ullallulloo yeah, but wouldn't hurt to change your other password

Q: Will any copy of Arkham City activate on steam?

BrianWith the holidays coming up and games likely to go on sale, I'm interested in picking up a copy of the PC version of Arkham City.

Just thought I'd share that, in case anyone was curious

you're such a nice guy @ArdaXi
It's a shame @Mana couldn't be more like you
 
Also, skyrim soon.
Are you planning to buy Skyrim @Mana?
 
@Wipqozn Already got it
 
11:25 PM
@Mana my word, did you... pirate it?!?!
 
what no
Brett gave it to me.
 
For sex?
Also, getting it through steam?
 
Yes Wipqozn, I did sexual favors for Brett in exchange for a copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
5
(star it. good)
 
@Mana I knew it!
For the record, you have no need to be ashamed @mana. Who wouldn't do sexual favours for @BrettWhite in exchange for skyrim? For starters, it's skyrim. Second of all, have you seen Bretts beard? He's manly as hell.
 
@Wipqozn raises hand
 
11:28 PM
@ArdaXi You're weird arda.
 
Just now I was "such a nice guy."
 
@ArdaXi You are, but you're also weird. The two are not mutually exclusive.
 
Yeah, of course I've seen Brett's beard. I posted that image of him and Aarthi.
 
@Mana Who?
 
@Wipqozn Yes they are.
 
11:29 PM
I think that's Aarthi. I might be wrong.
 
@Mana I thought it was katey
 
well, whoever
clearly Brett is the star of that image
 
@Mana Obviously. Look at his beard!
As a fellow beard user, I can say, I'm rather envious.
 
Let me repost it for posterity
also because I find this image absolutely hysterical
 
@Mana I find you absolutely hysterical.

I want to photoshop it to replace the MW3 copies with ridiculously large wads of cash.

It needs white-space on one side to work

Interesting kind of ad.
 
IGN is doing some sort of contest where people are tweeting them questions about Skyrim: twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23skyrim%20%40ign

jwaddellIn the original Uncharted and in Uncharted 2 collecting treasures gave you points or money which you could spend on skins or unlocks to be used in subsequent playthroughs.
