Off Topic / The Vatican
« on: February 11, 2013, 08:25:43 AM »
New Pope thing reminded me of my buddies house when I was in High School.

Single parent guy whose mom worked during the day, so it was a safe hang out during lunch.

I named it the Vatican. Nobody got it right away, but the name stuck. Eventually I had to explain it.

It was because the people inside were higher then thou, and it usually had white smoke coming out.

Why are there 2 doors on a chicken coop?





















































































If there were four it would be a chicken sedan.

Computer Rigs / New base system - help needed ASAP
« on: November 15, 2012, 08:32:10 AM »
Looks like I'll be doing an upgrade in a couple days. It's not really a gaming system, but I'd like to be able to load/play/test games on it.

My current system will go to my son, and I'll be getting an upgraded system.

Currently I have:
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
CPU and Fan: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor /  COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
RAM: G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) - I'll get another pair of matching RAM to give him 8GB total.

I will need:

Motherboard
CPU and Quiet Fan
RAM

My hard drive is Western Digital WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s
My DVD/CDROM is LITE-ON 24X DVD Writer Black SATA Model iHAS424-98
And my Graphics card is a GeForce 8800GT

The only requirements would be the SATA and USB3 which are really common right now. I will NOT be doing any multiple graphics cards, so SLI or whatever is not necessary.

I'd like to stick with AMD for the processor. I'd like to get at least 16G of RAM.

I'd like to come in as cheap as possible, but I actually have a pretty good budget for this. I'll add a monitor and have around $1000 for everything. Obviously I don't have to spend $1000 and every dollar I save can go to other fun stuff.

The plan is to have this together for Saturday (2 days away). So hit me!

Off Topic / Who can do a quick photoshop for me?

Pretty simple for you guys who are good at this....

I'd like to have the box mag on this gun replaced by a can of Spam.

GUN LINK

The box mag itself, so it would be like sliding that box out and sliding in a can of Spam. That doesn't mean just pasting a Spam pic over the entire box mag. The center piece with the circle in it would be on the outside of the can of Spam. The rest of the box would be replaced.

I kinda know how to do it, just not good enough to use multiple layers.
 
Appreciate it. Lemme know.

We've become obsessed with image. Easy data access has changed the way we think and it's a shame to have to say it, but it's making us dumber.

There are a lot of Americans out there who have no idea about the issues. All they know is what the media feeds them, which they regurgitate amongst friends in a kind of doltish buffet.

Please don't post anything political here, just whether or not the following process would be a good one.

Put down a list of issues. Then put down choices for each issue. Voters select the choice they most agree with. When completely filled out the candidate who most closely meets the choices made is voted for.

Example:

1) Abortion
a - Free Choice
b - Right to Life
c - State Choice

You mark the stance that most closely represents your opinion and move on.

Perhaps the candidate voted for isn't even shown :O , instead of so much focus on the person, place the focus where it belongs - on the issues.

Off Topic / Odds using a dispenser
« on: September 17, 2012, 08:19:49 AM »
My son wants to setup a random gambling device in Minecraft. I've built him the basic operational device, but now we're trying to determine some odds for betting.

The devices are called Dispensers. They have 9 slots that can be loaded with items. We will be using red, white and blue wool.

The dispensers, when triggered, toss out one random item. *If* we put 3 stacks of red, 3 stacks of white and 3 stacks of blue into a dispenser the odds of a color coming out is 3 in 9 or 1/3 of the time. Now if I remember correctly, if we were to load two dispensers with 3-red, 3-white and 3-blue, then the odds of getting both dispensers to output the same color would be 1 in 9, because each colors chance is 1/3 in each dispenser so getting the same color from two dispensers would be 1/9?

So my question is what are the odds of getting 3 of a kind, and also a Red, White, Blue (in order) using three dispensers for these cases.

#1
A = 3 Red, 3 White, 3 Blue (red = 3/9, white = 3/9, blue = 3/9)
B = 3 Red, 3 White, 3 Blue (red = 3/9, white = 3/9, blue = 3/9)
C = 3 Red, 3 White, 3 Blue (red = 3/9, white = 3/9, blue = 3/9)

All 3 same = (I'm thinking 1 in 27?)
Red/White/Blue = (Same thinking? 1 in 27?)

#2
A = 3 Red, 3 White, 3 Blue
B = 3 Red, 3 White, 3 Blue
C = 4 Red, 3 White, 2 Blue

All 3 same =
Red/White/Blue =

#3
A = 3 Red, 3 White, 3 Blue
B = 4 Red, 3 White, 2 Blue
C = 4 Red, 4 White, 1 Blue

All 3 same =
Red/White/Blue =

After seeing a few examples I should be able to mix things up to give the win percentages I want.

*Jeez, just thought about putting one GOLD in as a wild.... man this could get complicated. One gold in each dispenser or one gold in one dispenser only.

Math probably sux.

My son plays this on the PC. All he does is PvP (cool).

He got banned yesterday.

He was going up against two guys and beating them both in a PvP zone on Legendary Craft server. One of the two complained to a Moderator that my son is using hacks. The moderator shows up and watches my son beating these guys and determines that the only way someone could be winning a 2v1 was to be cheating, and my son was banned for using hacks.

Luckily for us the server has an appeal process. We appealed the ban and gave proof. They asked for some snapshots of certain folders and we provided everything. They reviewed all the evidence we provided and asked the mod who did the banning to provide anything he had. He said he didn't have any video or pics of it, but he believed that my son was cheating because "how else could he beat two guys?".

The admins unbanned him. I hope they also have a talk with this mod about being a good pvper.
