if it takes you 1 second to fall half the height of the building in a freefall then that means the building is 2 times 9.8m/s^2 (the speed of gravity on earth) which is like 20....20m doesn't seem all the big considering a large foot step is around 1m....
as for editions, think of them as a build for a program, nothing is perfect in 1.0 so you end up with version 8.0 (because making a 7.5 would cost them to much to print)
because things change and spelling gets corrected.because your instructor wrote the book and changed 4 paragraphs so that you would have to buy it new and give him money instead of buying it used.FTFY

(Original Pokemon Games)
"When you used an attack in Gen 1, this is the process the game goes through, in the order the game goes through it.
Sleep check
Freeze check
Hyper Beam check
Attack is executed
Disable check
Confusion check
Paralysis check
Attack succeeded in being used
Deduct PP
Did the attack miss?
Damage calculation
Perform effect of attack
Substitute
Critical hit/type effectiveness message
Check if opponent faints
Rage check
End of turn
HP loss due to poison/burn
HP loss due to Leech Seed
Flinch check (for opponent if attacker struck first)Amongst the things that have changed since then were accuracy rates. For instance, Thunderbolt had 95 BP, 15 PP, and 255 Accuracy. Thunder had 120 BP, 10 PP, and 178 Accuracy. Accuracy was a X/256 chance of hitting, performed during the "Did the attack miss" step in turn calculations.
Swift, although having 255 Accuracy, completely skips that calculation altogether. If it didn't, it would be impossible for Swift to hit Flying/Underground opponents because Flying/Underground status causes a "multiply by 0" to occur at the accuracy calculation step.
Oh, and something else ***ed up: Bide did the same thing. That's right, Bide skipped the accuracy check and always hit without fail.
Technically, Transform counts, but it's not a damaging move."
Oh, and also:"Focus Energy is supposed to raise your critical hit rate 25%. Except that they did it wrong and instead of multiplying it divides and makes your crit rate DROP."
This is a good read: http://lparchive.org/Pokemon-Blue/code.html

Are you transmuting music? Well, as long as you don't try to resurrect any dead beats you should be OK.
Beware of the Homusiculi, though.
Wait, what's the equivalent exchange for a half-decent piece of music? Can I just film a bunch of mediocre let's-plays and trade them all in at once?
In hindsight, maybe the phrasing, "put their entire soul into their music" is more literal than we thought.
WAIT: This explains everything. This is why pop stars burn themselves out so fast, (Bieber, Miley, et al.) They literally have no soul left. The ones that manage to stay sane are the ones who actually had talent to begin with and never had to resort to alchemy IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.
Oh hey, the Chinese spam is new.

help, I accidentally downloaded LMMS and started making crap Touhou remixes how do I stop
Seriously though, LMMS is kinda nice, especially for, ya know, not costing an arm and a leg and your brother's entire body.

I guess that works too, lol.
Here's a thing if you feel like breaking your brain trying to comprehend "really big" numbers.

Well, I'm surprised. That's actually not ridiculous, like I assumed it would be. Potentially far better than corn ethanol, interesting.
So is anyone here good with codes? What does
QmlnIFJlYWN0b3JzLCBTb2xhciBGbHV4IGFuZCBaZXR0YSBJbmR1c3RyaWVzmean?
Whatever it is, it's likely encrypted with something that's too strong to easily break. It's not a common hash type, at any rate.
Anyways, there's a good end-of-summer sale on the Humble store right now, lots of good discounts. -
So here's a question, why don't we make ethanol out of grass?
Tons of people already grow it, (some take care of it better than their own car), and then throw away all of their clippings. You could offer a free grass clipping removal service, and I'm sure tons of people would happily give you their clippings. You'd take some of the pressure off of corn prices too.
Plus, it comes with it's own built-in marketing shtick. You could call it...
grassoline.
(No, I'm not actually serious, I just wanted to make that joke.)

Ahem.
"First DX12 gaming benchmark shows R9 290X going toe-to-toe with a GTX 980 Ti."
:psyexplode:
*double post because I can't edit for whatever reason*
Granted, this might have been unoptimized drivers on Nvidia's part, (although, to be fair, when was the last time AMD had better drivers than Nvidia?) but still, the performance jump for AMD is interes-ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN
*triple post* Woah, the forums merge consecutive posts now? That's snazzy.

Okay, here's something interesting, if I click on my notification I got from Melfice commenting on my status, and then click on the "see all status updates by TheBytemaster" link, I can get to my profile page without any errors. It's when I try to click on the Activity Feed tab that it errors out. So the problem is likely in there. (The "About Me" tab works fine too.)

The 380 is the clear winner over the 960 at your resolution, but Nvidia is a requirement because you're going to be using it as an external GPU for your laptop, correct?
Although, the gap between a 960 and a 970 is pretty big. If you can get it, I'd go for the 970.
Technically, it's not a requirement, but with an Nvidia card, I can get apparently get something like 20-30% more oomph out of the limited bandwidth with their Optimus compression. If AMD had something similar, I'd get a 380 in a heartbeat.
But yeah, at some point in the future, I'll probably end up building a desktop and slapping that in it. I can re-use 3/4 of the parts that will go into the eGPU in a desktop, and I can probably sell the last one for a reasonable amount.
I think what I'll do is wait and see if I can get in on that Microcenter $230 GTX 980 crazyness if they do it again; failing that, I'll try and grab a 970 on a good sale come cyber monday. Or a 960 if there's a really good sale.

Question time.
GTX 960 Vs. GTX 970 with the following constraints.
Expected resolution for now is 1600x900, 1080p in the future.
Assume a 20% hit in overall performance. (Because reasons.)
The card will probably end up in an entirely new desktop rig in the future.
I could stretch my budget and get a 970 if I reeeeally needed to, but if it's not going to do much good, I'd rather not.
Any opinions?

UPDATE: Once again, I have made an incredibly stupid post and immediately afterward found the answer. Sorry, folks. Nothing to see here.
You get points both for being honest and making me laugh.

How long of a timelapse does that video span?
Wait, your video will embed, but mine won't? INJUSTICE I SAY.

I don't really see what the problem is with this "spying" data collection/telemetry. I don't delude myself into thinking I'm important enough for someone to want to look at my files.
Overall I'm liking Windows 10, I'm a fan of Edge and the visual changes. I've had only one hiccup with the audio drivers on my laptop, which pretty much solved itself. I didn't even have to reinstall my GPU driver on my desktop.
Ahem.
<rant>
Personally, the reason I detest "spying" and such is not because I'm particularly worried about the specific entities, for example, MS, NSA, Google, Etc, (Although I do wonder about the NSA sometimes), themselves doing anything bad to me with the data. Like you said, I'm not that important. It's because that data should not exist in the large databases and for the amounts of time that it does. If it exists on a computer, it's steal-able, and thus exploitable, potentially on a massive scale.
Imagine what would/could happen if a malicious nation-state or even just some punk kid in <insert politically correct scapegoat nation here> got ahold of even a fragment of the phone metadata database. Or got into XKeyscore. Or found a list of every app, (and, by extension a list of vulnerabilities), installed on a few millions of peoples' phones. Or whatever other ubiquitous database/system that seems harmless at first but turns out to be devastating when you use it the right way.
I'm not going to pretend that I somehow live without a smartphone, credit card, the internet, etc. But I'm not going to do nothing and be the low-hanging fruit either.
</rant>
Anyways, with all the fallout 4 hype, I'm surprised no-one posted this:

Huh, it won't embed. Bizarre.

I decided to give it a go a while ago when I learned how easy they made it to revert. So far it's not *amazing*, but it's not terrible either. The dongle I bought to use with wireless Xbox 360 controllers doesn't work currently, but I suspect a driver re-install will fix that.
If you don't like the data collection that MS is doing, in addition to tuning all the privacy-related settings, you can add these entries to your hosts file to curb it. (The file is found in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Remember to remove the read-only attribute before you try to edit it.)
And yes, these will probably break Cortana, but if you were going to go as far as editing your hosts file, you probably weren't going to use her anyways. I haven't had any issues after adding these, but your milage may vary, I am not responsable, blah blah blah, etc.

I AM ERROR.
Yeah, I've been getting that for a while on mine. I wonder if this is for the same reason the old KJ thread got killed?

I am totally lost, but I assume your bushes are somehow digital. But surely the pencil brush would just be called a pencil? :<
And no, I don't have any idea what I'm talking about.
Would it be possible to make a pencil airbrush brush?
(Jokes aside, the pencil one does look rather nice. If I had manga studio 5 I'd try it.)

Ooh, what else is in it? I've wanted something new to try out, but my laptop can't handle Blightfall. (Apparently an i7 2620m isn't oomph-ey enough to handle the ungodly amounts of taint on the map.)
