Well, there's a reasonable explanation why they'd be slow and clumsy. Courtesy of Cracked.

Punched this up in the shirt maker on zazzle.com


$24 for it isn't bad. Think the colors will come out well on a shirt?

I WANT TO BUY THAT SHIRT! PLEASE

Please take my money, NOW!

Well, I'll order it and see how it turns out.

I'll also see if I can find a place to design an embroidered UAC cap, since I haven't seen one anywhere. Not sure if I want to use the Doom 1/2 or Doom 3 style logo.

Was working on a project for my computer science class (being taught Java. Always fun). Was working on the greet message 'cause I wanted to do something meaningless. Figured out how to get Thread.sleep() working (needs an exception handler, apparently), so wrote a delay() function so I wouldn't need to write or copy/paste the exception handler for every delay I wanted. So wanted the message to print as thought it was being typed. Started copy/pasting println and my delay but had a moment of perfect clarity, and instead wrote this.

Code: Select all • Expand view

public static void printlnDelayed(int time, String str) //Because I can
{
   for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
   {
      System.out.print(str.charAt(i));
      delay(time);
   }
   System.out.print("\n");
}

Didn't look at any references, didn't copy/paste anything, and it was the fastest I've ever typed anything. I think I had the programming equivalent of a Dorf's Strange Mood, because it compiled without issue and worked exactly how I wanted to.

My school gave me and the rest of my year net-books, they're pretty shit for what their worth (which is about $600). Most of them have touch screens (Which are pretty crap and useless) also most of them were used by last years year 12 which meant that they were all dirty and misused . Just in case you're wondering they're Dell Latitude 2110's and 2120's

Be greatful you got them in the first place, we got fuck all in my school and when computer work was important, we didn't even have the choice to use do IT as an exam subject because we had barely any PCs at all (nearly all shitty shared server boxes) and what we did have ran on RISCOS...the best we had was 256 colour shit running Windows 2000 at the rate a PC from 1998 would run Doom 3.

Created a YouTube account, Bandicam and Virtualdub are working great, except that Virtualdub won't let me use Source audio (Stream 1), so the only way I can play my videos, is turning off the audio. When I open a video with Virtualdub, it gives me this:

"[!] AVI: Stream 1 (audio) has a non-zero start position of 480 samples (+20
ms). VirtualDub does not currently support a non-zero start time and the
stream will be interpreted as starting from zero."

I've gotten that error before in Virtualdub, but the sound still played. Weird!

[wildweasel]

I wonder if you're missing a video codec?

[Zombieguy]

I wonder if you're missing a video codec?

Nope. and the sound played, but the video just displayed one image the entire video.

Friend pointed me out to this page where you can preorder the indie game Faerie Solitaire 2, but what makes the page a joy to read is the absolutely ridiculous levels that different editions of the game go to. Seriously, take a look at how crazy it gets.
