I'll probably be saying something similar to that over the summer if I get to an extreme level of being bored. :P

Too bad my knowledge of coding is minimal. At least I could probably do something in PHP if I wanted, but I'm all out of ideas.

At least next semester is all project and no classes for me, so I get to spend a lot of time doing work on the project. (It's a game.)

Centipede Chan March 24th, 2015 9:33 PM

Ok so I am going to try to obtain a Raspberry Pi, and do all that stuff to put emulators on it so I can relive my Gameboy Color experience, kinda. Like it'll be on the go and what not and look like a gameboy, but will be playing Gameboy, SNES, Genesis, AND GBA games, because roms and emulators. Can't wait. Any of you have suggestions on what I should put on my custom Gameboy color shell?

I want to get a Raspberry Pi one of these days just to have one, but then I'd have to find a reason to own one.

What if I told you the Raspberry Pi 2 is much faster than the original and can run Windows (albeit the IoT version)?

With the flash turned on, I suppose. The Raspberry Pi 2 has a Flash vulnerability!

Only Xenon flashes that pulse really fast affect them, though. Even dual-LED pulsing LEDs that end up perceptually as a flash to the human eye(as found on high-end Lumia smartphones) won't stop the Pi 2 in its tracks.

I know Xenon flashes use a lot of electricity, maybe it has something to do with the high intensity discharge near the device that causes the issue.

So the mouse I had been using for the longest of time with my desktops finally decided to wear out. It's become nearly impossible to use the left-click button on it, and cleaning it of gunk/dust did no avail either.

Leviathan March 30th, 2015 3:12 PM

Here, might as well take ours. Barely been used, which is a shame.

Dammmnnn. That moment when your computer suddenly starts making horrendous noises and becomes unresponsive. I got so scared I turned the thing off. And when I went to use it again a little while later, the first thing it tells me is that it's updating the BIOS. Opps.

Akiba March 30th, 2015 5:59 PM

Titlebait brought me here, I am very disappointed

Don't you already know that the semicolon is the answer to all errors in coding?! :P
I really don't know, but I thought this answer was funny. April fools!

You're supposed to return the value of whatever that is you're testing, so in your case you should be returning "whateverhead == null"

Legendary Silke April 2nd, 2015 8:23 AM

My laptop seems to be throttling in games nowadays. I think I might need to get its internals cleaned up. Stuttering where there wasn't any screams "something's not right".

After all, the laptop is just a few days away from being 1 year old.

Dter ic April 2nd, 2015 2:44 PM

lul Netbeans is weird lie that ._. I save (ctrl + s) out of habit now when coding.

Tsutarja April 2nd, 2015 3:14 PM

I was getting assistance on something from my computer professor the other day, and when performing changes to an assignment, I hit Ctrl+S on the keyboard, and she asked me to click the diskette in Access to save. Aren't those pretty much the same thing? XD

I Ctrl+S any of my work religiously.

I've seen several developers who are not tech savvy, like how do you even get very far as a developer and not be tech savvy?

It could also be possible that she didn't take notice of me using the key combination, because she asked me to Ctrl+Z something I did wrong a few seconds later (and she literally said it like that too).

That's good. I had an intro to Java class where the professor struggled with opening a PDF.

Legendary Silke April 3rd, 2015 9:46 AM

Asus customer service is suggesting me to send in my laptop for dusting out the internals due to possible heat problems. The thing is probably the fact that I still need the laptop to complete a project I'm working on.

Decisions, decisions. At least it's not critical, so I guess I'll hold off on this until sometime later.

Except that's the correct pronunciation, according to the creator :P

Giff, Jiff. Imager, Im-gurr. Same argument. It will never be settled.

Dter ic April 3rd, 2015 11:38 AM

Without realising the "correct" pronunciation I've stuck with pronouncing GIF as 'jiff'. I think it's easier to say in speech, though some might not agree with me on that.

Wait Zack you're telling me that I'm the only one who pronounces "imgur" as image-ur? ;O; (Imager is probably my closest answer)

Buoysel April 3rd, 2015 12:24 PM

This is the only thing I pronounce as "jiff"

Image-ur is how it's supposed to be pronounced (according to their FAQ), so I pronounce it that way too. I know some people in real life that say "im-gurr" though and it annoys me more than giff/jiff.

I like, how the official pronounciation of PNG is "ping". Yet, people still pronounce it "pee-en-gee" {XD}

That's just stupid. PNG is an initialism, most initialism are pronounced by saying the letters, like FBI, OEM, and BBC.

I don't know why people things think they just can re-write english language rules.

Tsutarja April 6th, 2015 7:39 AM

I've always said it as P-N-G. Now I'm curious to how people say JPG. XD

Of course, I'll be the one to say it as "J-peg."

Alexander Nicholi April 6th, 2015 10:07 AM

J-Peg, P-N-G, Bitmap, Dib, Raw, P-S-D, Rar, Zip, Seven-Z, G-Z, X-Z, B-Z-Two, Tar, Doc-X, Ex-El-Ess, now this is just me but sometimes I say Power-Pt, without a vowel. :P

Pendraflare April 6th, 2015 10:12 AM

^ Those are how I tend to pronounce them too. Some people pay more attention to this stuff than others it seems...

Tsutarja April 6th, 2015 5:37 PM

I dunno why, but the thought of getting the lower-end model Mac Mini popped into my head. I've never owned a Macintosh computer in my life, so it'd be a new chapter for sure if I got one. However, at the same time, I'm still considering getting parts to build a PC for a replacement of my "dead" desktop.

I *just* got one last week. Been using the iPhone for a while, liking my experience with it, been tempted to dive completely into the Apple exosphere for a while, then MicroCenter had the lowest end Mac Mini for $399. It's not that bad at all. My only complaint so far is that it has a HDD instead of an SSD (I'm spoiled okay), but I intend to fix that tomorrow morning. Cloning the HDD to SSD was quick and simple, doesn't even require installing additional software. the only reason I haven't swapped it out already is that I don't have a T6 security bit.

UPDATE, SSD migration successful. Wasn't overly hard to replace the HDD, other than needing a T6 security bit, and having to completely gut the computer to get to the HDD.

Alexander Nicholi April 7th, 2015 9:23 PM

I'd like a $700 laptop and my Samsung Galaxy Reverb back. This Intel Celeron N2815 is killing me, and I have no phone, which means not only no phone/text but also no mobile music, no checking things without a PC, and more... ugh. I have to fix my digital life.

Tsutarja April 13th, 2015 2:31 AM

One week has gone by without me using a desktop and wow it has changed how I use the computer :/

Oh well at least people on IRC can at least tell when I'm away thanks to my ZNC bouncer :P

I actually self-host mine! I have a couple of domains that point to my assigned IP from my ISP and have a port (not 80) opened up so that I can access it away from home.

How bad is your upload? o_O

Usually IRC doesn't take up a lot of bandwidth, so I'd imagine it's the same way for a ZNC bouncer.

Alexander Nicholi April 13th, 2015 2:55 AM

Makes me have all the more anticipation for Google Fiber. Dat 1000/1000. Now who's going to be slower? The servers, that's right. Read 'em and weep.

Funny how PC is already slow as it is, God help me with fibre accessing this thing lawl

I honestly want Google Fiber down here where I live. I would take extreme advantage of the $300 one-time fee for unlimited basic service and use that on my server as a dedicated line (better than unstable Verizon FiOS wifi + power outages at times). Although the speeds aren't that great, being able to pay $300 for basic high-speed internet is a steal, especially for those that cannot afford a normal internet plan.

Alexander Nicholi April 13th, 2015 6:26 AM

I seriously just had to cut the cable on that laptop of mine. It was choking so bad that I sat there having the contents of the task manager Window rudely flash before my eyes... it was printing the window thrice per whole second. I wasn't even doing anything intensive, just regular stuff open and my YouTube on this Arch Linux boot here! I don't want to use that laptop anymore.

I like how things on this Core i5 with Arch on a USB stick don't ride like a Jeep on gravel... gah. Crappy hardware is a shaky experience.

That laptop had a mobile Celeron with no way to reimage Windows on it (complains about ACPI compliancy). If I can't shift it over to my mother when I get a new PC (this one belongs to a client who is apparently poor) then I'll happily trash it.

Alexander Nicholi April 14th, 2015 11:16 PM

When I was a little kid dealing in pre-Y2K secondhand PCs, I still hated Macs. I thought the ancient Apple IIs and the like were fugly and I thought the OS9 iMacs were just icky. I had such a thing for the modularity IBMs PCs had, believe me. ThinkEverything.

Tsutarja April 15th, 2015 4:51 PM

Soooo, I just noticed that Chrome in Windows 8 now has some emoji support. 🍕🍗🍘🍔🍖🍙🍟🎎🎓

And expressions are still unsupported. Weird.

Alexander Nicholi April 15th, 2015 8:16 PM

While Unicode sporting corporate-bought emoticons is all great and wonderful, I don't think it's fair. Unicode is supposedly a specification - a standard that everyone follows - and having money shouldn't entitle you to dictate the whims of what others have to support. Be it developers, users, or what.

@Zach I don't see any of those emoticons on Arch Linux. Probably wouldn't even see them on #!. I have a hunch the Linux dev community may feel similar to how I do, eh?

I do like how Font Awesome gets custom TTF work done without buying out the specification, though. Kudos to them.

Starry Windy April 16th, 2015 6:12 PM

Hmm, I think I have seen some of the emojis since I saw it on YouTube with my Firefox in about half a year ago, and it's quite good looking. I'm still quite unsure how to type it in PC, though.

Alexander Nicholi April 17th, 2015 2:18 AM

I really don't like how many closed-market advances are being made in the world of tech. Corporate interests are having so much say in things simply because they're rich and it's not cohesive to keep new ideas flowing into the system. As Linus Torvalds once said, "software is a lot like sex. It's better if it's free."

And it's all the more better than having no choice but to pay for it. Imagine that!

Yes, everything in the world should be free. Then we'd all live in a perfect world, right? :)

Time to bury the roots of when I was first modded into the ground. A new DCC will be on its way shortly! :D
