The Official Rant Thread

[NotZachary82]

Not really. He was a sophomore (not my class), and I've said at max like 20 words to him. He was one of those people that you didn't really know but saw every day. It's so strange to walk to my fourth period and he isn't at his locker. I feel for his family though, he left behind a little sister. RIP

[JacksonCougar]

Ahh, that's rough :\

[DemonicSandwich]

Now to complete the story we just need to know the reason/causes for his suicide.

My rant: I cannot figure out why this model tag is not loading in entity. Looks fine. Raws good. Meta is good. Confused.

Any luck with this?
I never realized before the past couple of days that individual reflexives can be in other tags. Could this be the reason for alot of our issues? You wouldn't be able to tell this without searching every tag to see if the reflexive offset falls within the changed tags number. I may look into this after the new editor is done.

[JacksonCougar]

I did actually: I rebuilt the stringId table wrong. That was causing Entity to exception while parsing the hlmt to load the model LOD. Everything else was fine. I didn't catch it right away because the stringIds were the same in model, and almost the same in hlmt. Didn't think to check hlmt until much later.

Don't ever use CDs to backup you're data. Worst data storage medium ever.
CR-RWs only survive like 3 write cycles and XP's CR writing wizard has no verify.
Thankfully I split the archives into 100MB chunks and will only loose a small chunk of the contents.

Ended up loosing the end of the last file burned to a disk.
EDIT: Also first 3 files from another disk.

Stick with a magnetic or flash based medium.

Gosh I just don't ever use CD's or DVD's anymore.

Externals HDD's ftw =)
But it can also fail so always make a double external backup

[DemonicSandwich]

Usually if the hard drive doesn't fail within the first year (infancy failure) it should last a while.
Magnetic media should last something like 10-20 years and flash about 5-10.

I was making backups so I can do a (destructive) system restore on the family PC. It was a clusterfuck of malware.
It was so infectious that I actually lost an 8GB flash stick after plugging it into that computer.
Memory stick doesn't work anymore and didn't feel like gambling with the external HDD I use for my PC.

Only storage media I had left were some CR-RWs.
I don't have to worry about loosing them since it was my intention to cook them in the microwave after I am done.

You'd think that when you have two objects of entirely different weight and shape, you wouldn't mix them up. False. Zach's brain commanded his hands to write the paper with his Dr. Pepper and drink his pencil. Fuck. At least I wasn't that far into it.

I stopped eating the fast food and crap that I've been eating my entire life, and am now on water, fruits/veggies, sandwiches, etc. Relatively healthy stuff with the occasional ChickFilA thrown in.

My face is breaking out like never before. DDDAAAMMMMNNN YOOOOOOOOOOUUU.

I wasted a bunch of time messing with my router and dyndns settings to finally realize that my ISP blocks port 80. Remote ssh was working so I should have figured it was blocked and not my router being dumb

[DemonicSandwich]

I leave for basic training in two weeks, but I don't think I'm ready for it.

My running endurance has improved greatly but my upper body strength/endurance hasn't improved at all.

[OwnZ joO]

Take beta alanine and kre-alkalyn(the best form of creatine). They will both help with muscle endurance and strength and are completely legal and safe.

Didn't think you would join the military DS, what role are you going in for?

Infantry?

Haha, not with my high ASVAB score.
My position will be maintaining the electronics and armaments of the Apache helicopter.

[xxpenguinxx]

Demonic, I'm a bit jealous.

[Aumaan Anubis]

I feel much more comfortable knowing that Demonic is handling our military equipment. Really puts my mind at ease.

Badass Demonic.

Also, badass code there Troy. +thumbsup

[Aumaan Anubis]

I'm sure he has other people on a hit list he'd like to get rid of before me

[DoorM4n]

Yeah man, acne sucks so much man. Awesome job that you are on a healthy diet though. My face is really breaking out right now too!

anyone else keep having prompts from java updater every time they boot their w7? most likely a java based virus fml

[xxpenguinxx]

I just tell java to shut up and if it doesn't I make it.

I think I maxed out my power supply... I need a minimum of 650W of power and I only have a 650W power supply. This graphics card is drawing 20A on it's own

For awhile. Then I restarted, did windows updates, and it went away.
EDIT: nope: it still wants to update: dunno what's going on with it, I tend to ignore it.
