That's the field I hope I will pursue in.

I wish you good luck!

No it's not that. I actually discovered what it was. It's f(x)=a-x. So yes, pretty *facepalm worthy.

[EDIT] Although that was the function I was looking after, I don't need it anymore. Grim's suggestion to put the values in reverse in the map function actually works. This just saved me from a lot of hassle.

"int blue = map(temp, 0, 25, 255, 0);" - I can't believe I haven't thought about this. I don't now if it works but if it does, then *facepalm.
But my curiosity remains - is there a function that decreases linearly?

Since I'm operating with ints I suppose everything is an approximated int. The PWM output must be an int.

After almost 2 years since I bought my Coolpix P100(It has now advanced 2 generations(P510)), I started noticing dust particles INSiDE the lens assembly. How the fuck is that possible?! It looks tightly sealed!

Firefox has even more extensions.

Amazing, so that's the secret to attention manipulation. Little, seemingly unimportant or side facts.

I use Firefox as a main browser and Chrome as the second.

"Did you even read this? I weigh 65 fucking pounds!"

I've seen people that are so light weight in their early teen years, but don't worry, you will surely double your weight until 20. It's just how everyone grows up, some guys grow up faster, some slower. That surely doesn't mean you can't pick up a sport ;).

At your age, I was about 1,8m tall and almost 80kg. How do you think I was feeling? Not really good at all, everyone noticed me and I was constantly having the feeling of being watched. But I coped with it...

Odd uni schedule you have there. If I'll enter the university, I will start in October.

I was thinking about buying an external hard-drive for backup, but now the prices are so high I can't really afford to buy one.
Commented 12 years ago2012-03-15 17:45:43 UTC in journal: #7680 Comment #66892
That has no importance. I've stated what's odd clearly.

This must be the butterfly effect. It has occurred to me perhaps 3-4 times the past weeks. Apparently small unimportant coincidences, things that came to my knowledge or strange facts had somewhat of a link with an event that happened in the next days.

A few days ago I used the google image search to search after Luke's image and now you post this...

It's just... odd.

Srry, I know that. What I don't understand is why Linux is so popularized and Unix is not. What, is Unix more primitive or Linux is just a more complex branch?
Why isn't Ubuntu, or Fedora, or Debian(and from what I know Ubuntu is based on Debian?) for example based on Unix, not on Linux?

And there are people who really do this without any shame?

Was it that hard to use imageshack easy sharing links?

Dude, you are one lucky bastard! I could only scrap around parts from my own home or perhaps some friends.
Nice activity! :)

[EDIT] O see you have some kind of tablecloth similar to our parts...
[EDIT2] Here's an ideea of what to do with the old HDD: remove its cover and try to see if you can control the motor. If it's some kind of an older motor it should be easier, if it's a stepper motor you'd need control circuitry(or an Arduino maybe with some transistors). Anyway, if you can control the motor, cut out some sand paper and glue it to the platter. You've got yourself a "modern" grinder! :)

For finding CPU temperatures you can use CoreTemp
For finding GPU temperatures you can use GPU-Z or your graphics driver utility if it has a temperature display.

A more universal tool that also used for tuning and displays not only fan speed but also temperatures is SpeedFan.

If you didn't know about the temperatures before, how can you know if it was overheating?
Commented 12 years ago2012-03-01 22:17:43 UTC in journal: #7653 Comment #62361
And did the temperatures drop dramatically?

Wait, did you just say 8 years?

Crollo, I think we all understood that it wasn't yesterday from the context.

Frankly, this is a boring video. You might want to condense your scenes in a maximum 2 minutes video, showcasing only "important" aspects of the mod.

Crollo, I also have to say that I'm fed up with guys who like to exaggerate things too much. This "WTF" phenomenon that is aggressively popularized among sites like 9gag, reddit and others has gotten out of control.
Now everything that even resembles to be a little odd is considered very weird.
Commented 12 years ago2012-02-23 12:47:00 UTC in journal: #7634 Comment #57874
What the fuck. You guys seriously misunderstood what I told you there :|. You obviously thought I probably licked it like icecream, which obviously didn't happen and it is not what I told you. When brushing that crystal on the face after shaving, a little bit of that salty solution might get in the mouth.

I am even disgusted when thinking of what you guys have imagined.

Yeah I'm beginning to be quite old around here. And on any other site I wouldn't bother with this, but when it comes to TWHL, I'm proud of it!

I had a similar problem a few months ago but it passed without me going to a doctor. What's odd is that I wash my ears every day.

Why are you so extreme in most of your statements?

As time passes, the difference of age from GoldSrc to Source will become insignificant. Both engines are old and this community is based around those engines. Consider that :).

Nice! Enjoy your goodies ;)

You know I'm actually searching for some items too but can't find any in my area, and I'm afraid of wasting money on products from other countries.
I want some steampunk goggles( yeah they can be home-made, but it's very difficult for me to do that) and an aviator helmet(although I heard they're quite expensive).

In some parts of Romania there's a declared state of emergency. There are houses almost completely burried under snow. Hopefully the weather is calmer in my area, but it's still damn cold( in some nights it dropped to -20C, and during the day -10C). I can't remember such a winter in my lifetime other than one in around 1997.

I've heard this before, that Europe is entering in a mini ice age.

If that current is gone, the effects will probably be felt in just a couple of years.

[EDIT] Just read that article. Oh shit!
