How long do you spend learning one song?
|
I've always wondered about this. I learn songs by ear (I'm a classically trained violinist for ten years so my ears are pretty good, so transcribing isn't an issue) and I haven't been able to learn an entire song from beginning to end because I always give up because I spend too much time on it and assume I'm not good enough to be playing that level of piece yet. Am I just being impatient? I used to spend upwards of six months learning at violin solo, so I've always been curious how long people spend on guitar songs.

How can I properly duplicate a user profile in Windows 7?
|
My work place is upgrading from a Win2000 server to Win2008 R2, which is just far enough apart that a proper migration tool is not supported. So I'm having to go to each machine and manually migrate them over to the new server. Most of our computers are currently not logging directly into the domain account on their machines, but simply logging into a local account. The goal is to have everyone now log into the new domain account, but still have the same profile (same files, settings, etc).
So far I've been able to just copy of the contents of Documents and Settings in XP machines over to the new profile folder with only a couple things here and there needing additional adjustments (such as the location of Outlook files). However, this is working so well on our newer Windows 7 machines. I've also tried using the tool in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> User Profiles to copy the old profile to the new, but this doesn't accomplish much in XP and only half works in Windows 7 (doesn't copy appdata or some various settings).
As an example, I just spent the last 3 hours attempting to duplicate a Windows 7 machine by using the control panel tool to copy the old profile to the new one and then manually copying over the appdata folder, but ended up with a malfunctioning account (couldn't access explorer.exe...).
So before I waste any more of my time (or those who are without their computer during the process), I was hoping someone here might have a better and/or more proper way to duplicate a user account.
Windows Easy Transfer did the trick on Windows 7 machines, though I had to rename the extended.bat file to get Outlook to stop throwing an error on startup. Otherwise looks to have copied everything over rather nicely :)

Geneva drive stirling engine?
|
So surely someone's thought of this before. What if you attach the continuous motion and intermittent gears of a geneva drive]( to the diffuser and piston, respectively, of a stirling engine? Wouldn't the intermittent piston achieve the isochoric processes in the [ideal stirling cycle?

What features would YOU like to see on replays?
|
When watching old replays, it can often feel strange that there are no timers on the production tab. What other features do you think you would miss in current version replays if they were implemented in a future patch.
As you guys obviously watch a lot of commentated replays, you can often pick up on things that other people are missing, one big feature I personally would like to see on replays is a kill feed to help negate this, as while the players are alerted, the spectators are not alerted to where battles are happening unless they are watching the vision of a specific player.
Just above where the game timer currently is now, color coded, something like this:
[12:51] Red Marine kills Yellow Probe
[12:51] Red Marine kills Yellow Probe
[12:51] Yellow Stalker kills Red Viking
[12:52] Yellow Dark Templar kills Red SCV
Replacing the colours with the appropriate player names
At most about 5 lines long, stacking on top of each other and fading out after a few seconds.
What other features would you guys like to see?

Haven't Had My Period In Four Months
|
Some facts about me:
I'm 18. I haven't been having sex, so I know I'm not pregnant. I have been on Birth Control for 2 1/2 years and this has never happened before.
I missed the first period after starting college and thought it had something to do with my change in diet, but I've been home for nearly a month now and it's been four months straight with still no period in sight.
Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?
Also: Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to post this in...I usually lurk on 2X and didn't know where else to put it.
Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses! I'm making an appointment to see my doctor as soon as possible and hopefully everything will be fine.

Looking for easy and good drinks recipes based on vodka, light rum or gin, for a drink mixing contest.
|
Okey, so a little background story. On saturday I'm going to a party were there will be a drink mixing contest and the three spirits available are vodka, light rum and gin.
Any and all mixers should be brought by the participants (=Me), apart from ice. And the winner is the one who can conjure up the best drink.
So I'd like to know your best recipes based on one (or all) of these alcohols. I'm a total rookie when it comes to drink mixing and would prefer easier mixes, which I actually can do and I don't have to buy a million different mixers/fruits/w/e.
Most of the people attending will be girls in the age of 20-25. Afaik there's only me and another guy going, and he doesn't drink. So the drinks should be aimed at a (mid)twentiesh female crowd. So hit me with your best mixes!

Need help figuring out a backup plan for a small-medium business!
|
Hey guys,
I recently started working for a relatively small business (~75 employees in two different locations). The old IT admin either was very proactive in their job and as such there really is no company-wide backup system in place, or even guidelines for such. Backing up is left up to the users who, surprise, aren't doing it.
This makes me fairly nervous, but I'm not quite sure how to go about setting up an adequate system for the company's diverse needs. As I said before, it is around 75 employees split between two locations (a large central building, and a smaller offshoot of around 10 employees), and their backup needs range from a few hundred GBs for the engineers, to a few office documents, to a ton of office documents and maybe a few specially made programs. Also due to the nature of the business, it is common for them to generate maybe 100 GBs of data in a day, and that will need to be backed up, but probably not used for months. Also as a lot of it is proprietary research or IP, security is a concern.
What is the best to go about assessing their needs? When most people talk about backups it seems like they have on comprehensive plan that includes every user, but that seems rather impossible in this case. I know a portion of them are setup on Jungle Disk, and I was thinking about extending that, but it seems like it would take too long for the users that are generating hundreds of GBs of data in a day. I am fine with doing a combination of cloud backup, and then possibly doing individual external hard drives for those who would need them, but that seems a little unprofessional.
Anyways, a little lost on the whole backup situation and a push in the right direction would be much appreciated!

I Farmed Gentlemen Shrimp, AMA
|
As requested in this thread:
The actual story:
Years ago, a Japanese professor found a mutation in a common invert that resulting in the body color being red and white strips. It used to be black and white strips. The red/white stripes are much more appealing and so it got the attention from a lot of people.
This is a freshwater shrimp and you can see some pictures here:
I realized that people liked them so much (for their aquarium, not for eating) that early on, they were willing to pay $25/piece for these little buggers, with a 4-8 piece minimum order because of the shipping costs to send something 2nd day or next day.
Well... an importer in California got them from Japan and he sent them over to me in Indiana. I began breeding them. Let me tell you about the economics of their breeding - when one has eggs, it will carry something like 20-30 eggs at once. Obviously, when it only takes 2 to create 20-30, the profit is exponential and any businessman would hear a cash register making lots of noise in his head. That's what happened to me, and not much later, I had $500 in a very basic setup and a decent chunk in the shrimp themselves. Obviously, I was working with the ones that were already mutated.
Why weren't more doing it? Breeding them is tough, because the water parameters have to be just right. If you have to punch 10 dials with women, imagine that this has an 11th dial, which is really tough to manage when you are already dealing with 10 things. I should add that I was still a student and set this up at my parent's home, so I had to go back home very often.
FINALLY! After 3 months, one of them carried eggs! I was very happy and ready to reap in the rewards of my hard earned money, or let them breed again and be rich forever. Right? Wrong. My family and I went on a trip for a weekend and they were having a bug problem at home. They left cans that released bug spray out so that the bugs would be killed...
As luck would have it, the bug spray leached into the water and killed my guys.
I felt so bad that I went vegetarian for 2 years. I couldn't live with the fact that I killed these living things that I had put so much care into. After those 2 years, I was on my bike, and over a few months, I killed a 2 squirrels that would run out under my road bike and they died. I began to feel bad and wondered... "What exactly can I do without killing an animal?" Hell, when you pick a banana, you're likely going to step on an insect! I realized I had gone down the wrong path and began to enjoy bacon.
Side note: I have also worked on a coffee bean farm in Hawaii, built + sold a small business, gotten an evil look from MC Hammer, and more. Feel free to ask about whatever.

I don't claim to be an elite player, and I may be totally wrong- but I think people may be overlooking a critical point when it comes to the plasma gun.
|
OK, the thing is, I think people may be overlooking that this gun belongs to the Raider- not Pathfinder.
Yes, it is great for dueling and hitting people in mid air. But is that the reason you would select the raider class?
I have seen these videos where people are getting multiple kills with the plasma rifle against enemies that are taking predictable paths, or jumping straight up and down.
But don't you think anyone could probably make the same video, any day of the week, with a player skilled with the spinfusor or SMG etc?
Would a skilled player get more kills against (relatively) unskilled players with a Raider/plasma gun than with other loadouts? I'm not sure...
But aside from that, if your goal is to win the match and not rape noobs, is selecting Raider the way to go?
When I play Raider (and this may be stupid) I generally focus on base disruption. While the plasma gun is great if you meet a person in mid-air on the way to the enemy base, when it comes to close-quarters-combat and base asset destruction, the plasma gun does *not* excel.
Getting a bunch of dueling mid-air kills does not win a game.
In other words, are people realizing the trade-offs they are making by A) choosing to be a raider class and B) Giving up the (already awesome, when it comes to base-disruption) other Raider weapons?
...
tl;dr: The gun may be very powerful, but does it really make the Raider *class* the best class in the game, with regards to winning matches? Will EVERYONE be playing Raider class tomorrow?

Signs of lacto fermentation?
|
Four days ago I made a weak starter for lactobacillus to pitch into 10 gallons of a gose. boiled the extract in the flask, cooled and pitched the lacto at about 105F. I didn't aerate the starter because my understanding is that lacto doesn't need oxygen and aeration only increases potential for other bacteria to find a friendly environment and compete.
I have left it in the flask by a heater and it's been steady at about 100F inside the flask, however there are no visible signs of anything. If I smell around the starter, I do get a lacto aroma.
To my understanding, I've done everything right. Did I have bad info? Is it normal to see no signs of anything after four days?

What have you found to be the best way to fundraise for corps fees?
|
I decided last minute (mid-November) to audition for corps this past December. It was my first time ever auditioning, and after 2 camps I received a contract. Regrettably, I had to turn it down after crunching the numbers and realizing I wouldn't have the funds to cover all of the fees plus my other college related expenses. I know there are websites like helpmemarch.org that help and I know plenty of people get funds from writing sponsorship letters, but I honestly didn't think that would cover everything I needed to and didn't want to take a financial risk.
This next season, summer 2013, is my age out year for corps. I'm determined to march corps this summer since it is my last opportunity, and I'm determined to have the money to pay for it. I have a new position at my job that pays better and gives me more hours each week, which will help with funds, but I will still need to fundraise to be 100% certain that money will not cause an issue. I already have one craft-related fundraising idea in the works right now.
My question to all of you, is other than simply asking people/businesses for donations, what sort of fundraising ideas have you personally used or know of that have been worth the time and effort?

Arduino + Exchange == Argh!
|
Hi Guys, long time lurker, now I'm hoping I can benefit from the famed /r/sysadmin
TL;DR I've created an Arduino project for booking meeting rooms, it's working, but the Exchange auto-attendant isn't rejecting conflicting meeting requests and I have no idea why.
The longer version is, I wanted a way for people to be able to book a meeting room in an Exchange resource calendar for a 30 minute block by just pushing a button inside the room.
I've built this as an Arduino project + Android tablets. It works well for the most part - people turn up to a room, Android tablet mounted behind glass (so people can't fsck with them) shows the day's meetings, if there's no one booked in, they can go into the room and push a single button to book it for a half hour block.
This is my code for it:
Really simple - it gets NTP time, telnets to a mail server, and echoes SMTP commands in the format of a VCAL to the server, sending a meeting request to a resource calendar.
The Resource Calendar receives and auto accepts the meeting exactly as it should if there's nothing else booked in the time slot. If there is something else booked, it should reject it (and it does if I send a request normally from a user mailbox), but from my code, it doesn't reject.
I'm putting this down to me not knowing something I should be setting in the VCAL formatting, and I'm hoping hoping hoping that someone will be able to see where I've gone wrong... long shot I know!
I've formatted the code in such a way that anyone can take it and use it themselves too, in case anyone's interested:)
The relevant part is:
/*************************************************************
SEND MEETING REQUEST EMAIL BY ECHOING SMTP COMMANDS TO TELNET
**************************************************************/
client.connect(server, 25);
client.println("EHLO " + mail_domain"); /* say hello*/
client.println("MAIL From:" + sender_address); /* identify sender */
client.println("RCPT To:" + recipient_address); /* identify recipient */
client.println("DATA");
client.println("To: " + recipient_address); /* identify recipient */
client.println("Subject: Created by the " + company_name + " Rapid Booking System"); /* insert subject */
client.println("Mime-Version: 1.0");
client.println("Content-Type:text/calendar; method=REQUEST; charset=US-ASCII");
client.println("Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit");
client.println();
client.println("BEGIN:VCALENDAR");
client.println("PRODID:-//ACME/DesktopCalendar//EN");
client.println("METHOD:REQUEST");
client.println("VERSION:2.0");
client.println("BEGIN:VEVENT");
client.println("ORGANIZER:mailto:" + sender_address);
client.println("DTSTAMP:20120416T190000Z");
client.println("DTSTART:" + start_time); //When the meeting starts (start of this 30 minute block)
client.println("DTEND:" + end_time); //When the meeting ends (end of this 30 minute block)
client.println("SUMMARY:In Room Booking");
client.println("DESCRIPTION:This room has been booked using the " + company_name + " Rapid Booking System.");
client.println("UID:fake." + company_name + ".com-873970198738777");
client.println("STATUS:CONFIRMED");
client.println("END:VEVENT");
client.println("END:VCALENDAR");
client.println(".");

}

Having trouble with using agar-agar for confectioneries
|
Recently, I thought of making coconut milk-fresh ginger candy, and the package of agar-agar suggested using 25g of agar-agar per 3l of water. I figured that the amount of agar-agar for coconut milk shouldn't differ that much and increased the amount by 1/2.
Ingredients:
125 ml coconut milk
5-10 ml cacao butter
5 tbsp of palm sugar
Fresh minced ginger
1/2 tsp ginger powder
Organe blossom water (3 drops)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Method of cooking:
I heated the cacao butter in a saucepan, added coconut milk, stirred, added the other ingredients while stirring, added about 1,5 grams of agar-agar, stirred, and poured the mixture into molds. Left the mixture to cool into the fridge.
The candy becomes liquid after removal from the fridge (as coconut milk will remain solid in the fridge)... So, fail.
How much agar-agar I should use for this recipie? Maybe my method of simply stirring the agar-agar is incorrect?
PS. No previous experience with gelatine whatsoever.

Wedding Anniversary Gift ---- better than jewelry...
|
So every holiday and birthday I have pretty much ALWAYS bought my wife diamond and/or pink sapphire jewelry.. Our 2 year wedding anniversary is coming up and I had an idea for a gift...
Back story: I do ametuer photography and have always been in to it. I shoot with a Sony DSLR and have a few lenses. When we were dating my wife began to like it and would always want to use my cameras when we would go somewhere for trips or to events. She really enjoys it.
Well, at the end of the week I am going to an event where I was offered to make a little money to take pics. I asked her to come with and she said something along the lines of "what am I going to take pictures with??"
......Well, a couple days ago we were at the mall and she hinted too me she wanted a pair of earrings for our anniv. since the last set I bought her she lost one of them (fell out of her ear)... But last night while she slept I found a good deal on a Canon Rebel DSLR.
I personally can see us doing photography together as a hobby more if she had a camera of her own. She and I don't have really any hobbies we can do TOGETHER much --- as my biggest hobby is auto racing and she doesn't have the interest in that that I do.... BUT she has gotten in to photography enough that she was looking for some classes at our local college and even checking in to photography ones........but I also know she has her heart set on some diamond earrings....
What say you? If I get the camera - I am ordering it from them and it's a no-refund sort of thing, so I really only have one shot to get this right. lol.
Anniversary Gift:
Canon DSLR - Enjoy a hobby we can do together by having multiple cameras?
or
Diamond Earrings - The typical winner/gift/safe bet.....
Edit 1: Sounds like we have a clear cut winner. Thanks. :)
Edit 2: I am going to get it before we go to this event on Saturday. When we get in the car to leave I'll tell her I forgot something and while still in the garage grab it --wrapped up-- from my toolbox, and hand it too her when I get back in the car. Surprise DSLR for the event that she asked me "what camera am I going to use?" :D

A few days ago I posted about my 13 y/o stepson masturbating into my socks and his mothers as well as revenge. I put a hidden camera in my room to catch him, and it turns out it wasnt him after all. What do I do?
|
Heres the first post.
Everyone's advice was to put icy hot in my socks to hurt him if he tried to do it again. I understand that's funny, but it's unrealistic and I am his guardian so I was not going to do that. Instead, I installed a hidden camera in my room.
I watched the footage back after waiting two days (got nothing the first day). It turns out it wasn't my son masturbating into my socks (and my wife's). It was our elderly neighbor, I'll call him Mr. Mew.
Mr. Mew is a retired widower who we have known as long as we've lived in the neighborhood, and we've been trusting him for the past couple months with checking up on our dog, who is 14 years old and has hip dysplasia. Mr. Mew basically comes by to let him out to pee a few times a day and make sure he has food and water while we are at work and the kid is in school.
So i was watching the footage from the nannycam I installed in our room thinking I'd be catching my stepson masturbating into my socks, and as I am scrolling thru it I see Mr Mew of all people walk into the room. I played it and basically Mr Mew comes in with some sort of food item in a bag, he takes a bite and puts it in the brown paper bag. Then he set that on my bed and went straight for my sock drawer like he'd done it before.
I sat in stunned silence and watched Mr Mew masturbate surprisingly quickly into one of my dress socks and then put it back, grab his food and leave. I'm still stunned.
I haven't told my wife, I haven't showed the police, I'm not even sure if I should confront Mr. Mew or just call the cops outright. I am conflicted. He's old and alone, and maybe this is the onset of some sort of dementia or alzheimers, I don't know.
Any good advice for a plan of action here? This is so awkward. \
EDIT: I realize the title at the top is poorly worded. Again. Sorry guys, I'm not the best with grammar.

I only want to replace the radio, I want to keep all the original speakers and speaker wiring. Any tips or good videos on what to do? I've pulled out the old radio, and other than the antenna cable I don't know what goes where.
Also, any suggestions on reliable, but affordable brands? I'd like something with an AUC hookup and CD as well If I can fit it.

you do is head over to www.gasbuddy.com. Then look over at New Jersey. I took a trip over to Union, NJ tonight and it literally took me 24 minutes to get over there. Every station that I passed had a line of about 4-8 cars. It seems people here in NY think the situation is pretty bad there, but one thing they do have, is gas. Head on over and save yourself the hassle. I filled up a 25 gallon tank and two 5 gallon jugs for friends. Good luck, Reddit.
-Something I forgot to mention was that I spoke to the attendant last night and he said that most stations are disregarding the odd/even rule during the evening time, since lines are very short. This is something to consider. And another important fact, alot of these places are now taking cash only. So stop by an ATM on your way.

Can someone in London pelt Mitt Romney with human faeces pls?
|
it just would be good to see him covered in human faeces. also london is a great place to do it cos of Olympics media coverage. It would be good to get maybe a military veteran who has some lingering nerve damage to his arm. Then he can say "omg sorry Mitt its my jerky arm due to the War" etc etc

Worried about JustBet account security, what can I do?
|
I just recently had an issue remembering my JustBet.cx account password and contacted their customer service. The support representative was able to see my password in plaintext and informed me that their password is safe with them even though I expressed concern about this.
I am seriously considering closing my account immediately because of this, but is there anything else I can/should do about this?

Experienced Ketoers please advise: question about incorporating fiber/veggies, and how to calculate percentages
|
1. I can't seem to work my vegetables (and fiber) in without overloading on carbs. For example: according to MFP there are 7g of carbs and 1g of fiber in 1 cup of kale; this, added to wild carbs I unexpectedly incurred from seemingly innocuous sources like eggs, yogurt and cheese, sets me over my daily carb allowance. Spinach is better than kale for carbs (again, this is all according to mfp), but it still seems that reaching my recommended 29g of fiber is impossible without maxing out on carbs. What am I doing wrong here?
2. Is there a program I can use to figure out my calorie percentages? MFP just tells me how many grams of whatever I've eaten, no percentages. Not trying to calculate this myself; I can't even do long division. Just want a program where I can plug in what I ate and it will tell me what percentage of my cals came from fat.
All help is so appreciated!

Missing Koi Skin, Missing RP, No Support Response...now I can't log in to the forums?
|
When Nami came out, I purchased the champion because the bundle wasn't out and then refunded her and bought the bundle...except when I did that, a bunch of RP went missing *and* I didn't have the skin. So I sent a ticket to support about both topics and talked on another user's post in the forums who was having a similar problem. Today, I go to log on the forums and it's telling me that my access is denied.
I don't know what to do - it's one thing to be slow with support responses; I understand season 3 has thrown a wrench in the works and things are taking some time to iron out. But to basically leave me hanging and then prevent me from even communicating for no reason? I don't get it. I can still log on the client, still get into games, etc.

There's a lot of talk going on about characters that are better with the Gauntlet. Are there any that are worse?
I'd argue that a number of the 300 point figures would be. Most already have Power Cosmic or Quintessence, so they don't get much benefit from the willpower or immunity to outwit, plus when you bring them out of the 300 point build, they're much easier to overpower/out-action.

I need to rant momentarily amongst people who understand: "We are sorry that Canada voted against Palestine."
|
I'm dying.
I waited until there were plenty of comments in the threads about Palestine's recognition at the UN.
At the top of them are these "Canada is sorry, we should have recognised Palestine" and "I don't know why we didn't do it."
Really?
Really? You really don't know. You, the same people who cannot begin to remotely comprehend what the people IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR COUNTRY are telling you about nationhood understand the Palestinian side so well?
Yet you don't understand what Quebec is saying?
I...look. Am I preaching to the choir here when I say: You all and I agree that the reason Canada won't recognise Palestine isn't because they're the US lapdog, it's because it makes them look incredibly hypocritical when it comes to Quebec.
GAAAAAAH!!!! AAAAGH!!!!
I swear to God...the level of cognitive dissonance from some people is astounding. How can they on one hand say "Why don't the people of Israel recognise the plight of Palestinians" and I just...OH MY FUCKING GOD LISTEN TO YOURSELVES!!! IT'S FOR THE SAME REASON YOU IGNORE QUEBEC'S PLEAS!
Let me calm myself. Quebec is not Palestine. Quebec has it a billion times better. But Quebec *is* like Palestine in that you reach the point of a "two-state solution" when the dominant state is all "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LA LA LA" every time the smaller state tries to air a legitimate grievance.
So yes, Anglo-Canadians of reddit. You've gotten to the point where you accept the notion of a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine and say that you have given up hope for Israel's government to do something constructive.
Wow. Welcome to Quebec.

Collectible card game - I've got the cards, I've got the mechanics, I've got the publisher - But I don't have the art. What do I need to know?
|
So now I'm trying to finalize my plan to bring my card game to market, and I have a pretty good idea of some of my baseline goals. I want to raise $X amount of money on Kickstarter which will fund the delivery of roughly 200~ sets of the game to all the Kickstarter participants, as well as help fund the big missing piece: **art**.
That's what I wanted to talk to you guys about. What do I need to know about trading card art?
The game's concept is initially to be 8-bit - so I could utilize art with a pixelized retro feel, but not in the flat bitmap sprite sense, more in the 8-bit Theater vein, where sprites can be overlaid on drawings, or the pixelized sprites can be scaled to different sizes compared to those around them. I think this gives potential artists a lot of creative freedom, and still keeps the retro and fun appeal that I want the game to have.
My question for the thought powerhouse here on /r/gamdev is how should I go about requisitioning art, and how much money should I be ready to lay down? Here's what I've identified as my full art needs for the physical card game itself:
* Logo
* One card frame with 6 variations for each card type
* Flavor art for 90 cards
* Art for the 100 card tuckbox
* Art for the encompassing game box
* Instruction manual (between all the rest of the art, this should be covered)
I've been doing game dev for a long time and I know reasonably well how to price sprite work and the like, but I've never had to price anything like this and frankly **I don't have a clue** what to expect. I know that with many modern TCGs the art load is shared between dozens of artists, however this isn't really a TCG - it has sets and expansions, no boosters or concepts of rarity, therefore the card quantities are much lower.
Munchkin is a great parallel to what I'm doing because it uses the same model - you buy a "Munchkin" box and you get ALL the cards. All of those cards were illustrated solely by John Kovalic. Should I expect to do the same for this? It seems like a very large workload for just one person to commit to, especially if they're also doing this as a "spare time, more money" thing.
Does anyone have any comments, suggestions, resources or anything else that could help me solve my card art dilemma?

US Savings Bonds offer interest rate equal to inflation
|
I'm trying to put aside money for children's college and my retirement, and am looking at ways to diversify. I like high interest savings accounts, but for something long-term, I can't find anything above 1.5%. But a US savings bond Series I from treasurydirect.gov averages the inflation rate over a quarter and uses that as your interest rate for the quarter. It's not amazing, mine averaged 3.06% last quarter, but it's better than hiding it under your mattress, and better than any CDs I've seen recently.

IRS Can Double Tax former US Citizens Even Decades After Nationalization/Tax Declaration in Another Country
|
*cognito*: **This means that Americans living abroad are assumed guilty of a financial crime, even though they owe no taxes, unless they spend time and money proving themselves innocent.**
>***quant18***: "First, American citizens who live overseas cannot take advantage of U.S. tax treaties to reduce their U.S. tax bill. The treaties are specifically designed this way (it is called the "saving clause") and Congress will not ratify a treaty without one. In the U.S.-Sweden Treaty, it is Article 1, Paragraph 4: "Notwithstanding any provision of the Convention except paragraph 5, the United States may tax its residents (as determined under Article 4 (Residence)), and by reason of citizenship may tax its citizens, as if the Convention had not come into effect. For this purpose, the term "citizen" shall include a former citizen whose loss of citizenship had as one if its principal purposes the avoidance of tax, but only for a period of 10 years following such loss." And FBAR fines are not a tax. So a tax treaty is of no help in saving you from them.
>Second, the $92,900 exemption only applies to wage income. Not to bank interest, social assistance payments, dividends, gains from selling your house in the country where you live, appreciation of assets inside a mutual fund or a retirement plan, etc. If you have not reported any of those to the IRS, they regard you as a fatcat concealing offshore income and assess you additional fines.
>And finally, not only do you have to report all the above types of income to the IRS, you have to report it on complex forms which most US domestic tax preparers have never heard of: forms 3520 and 8621. If you only filed a 1040 for the above types of income, you are NOT COMPLIANT. The IRS sees you as guilty of concealing an offshore (constructive) trust or offshore "passive foreign investment company" and may assess you penalties for failure to file. Look at the instructions for those forms and see what the failure to file penalties are. FATCA will bring non-compliance to the IRS' attention."

How to find an entry level Computer Security position?
|
I know 'Computer Security' is very broad, and I wrote it like that on purpose.
For a new graduate with a CS degree, who has close to no experience or knowledge in security, what kind of opportunities are there? Are there employers who are willing to hire and train an employee in security or do most of them expect to have knowledge on the subject right out of school?
And I'm using the terms 'security' and 'computer security' so broadly because I don't know all that it can offer, I know there are different parts of sec like network security and web app security etc, so maybe a position that can help dabble in different types of security also? Does anyone know what this kind of position might be titled?
I've only seen a few basic things like SQL Injection, XSS, packet sniffing, and even still on a very simple level, nothing too in depth, but stuff like this looks interesting to me, I just don't know where or how I could find a job doing it where I can learn more...

Is there a way to replicate this type of indexing and searching on a Linux installation? I've become a fan of using a search box over clicking through various levels of menus and whatnot.

Why Do we watch middleweight, welterweight etc?
|
Hi, I don't follow boxing much, except some of the really main stream fights that land on ESPN front page, such as this weekend's fight between Manny and Juan. It sparked my interest a little, and I noticed they were junior middleweights, welterweights etc, but not heavyweights. I was just curious why we watch them, if their in this class division, because surely they aren't actually the best, as a middle of the pack heavyweight would probably beat them easily? I guess it surprised me when we're attaching all this emphasis on these matches, and the best boxer as manny or floyd, when they're in this weight class, as either of them would be outclassed by a heavyweight champion.
Could someone explain this to me a little?

Computer crashes when put to sleep

I made a post a while back (about a month) about my computer having issues when put to sleep. Now the computer crashes about 99% of the time when it's put to sleep. Not only does it crash, but the start-up is extremely slow. Sometimes when left up for long periods of time to avoid this crash, it will shut-down. I've also seen about 2-3 blue screens in about 3 weeks. I can't think of anything causing the problem. I've run kaspersky and found no viruses, and I've run CCleaner to delete temp files and check for registry errors often. I am about to defragment my HDD, as it hasn't been done for a long time, but I don't think it will do anything to help. Anything else I can do to try to find problem(s)? Thanks.

Airhole Placement, Silicon Carbide or other Abrasives, and You?
|
So a fatal flaw of the non-oring bottom screw down atomizer is that you don't have much control over where the airhole lies. sure, its a little bit off, you add an o-ring or deal with it twisted lightly, just enough loose.
other than that, you're at the mercy of your rebuilding skills and the manufacturers whims.
I often hear of people using sandpaper to modify their tops to get them to sit, would thought of a easier? (probably not) solution that I thought I'd run by you.
I'm going to use the same thing I use for whetstones and chisels - silicon carbide 120g powder, a little water, and a small bit of plate glass.
I figured its a good a way as any, and the flatness would help (although the plate glass could be used with sandpaper as well) make sure the threads still fit perfectly.
Is my thinking wrong? Have you shortened the threads on any of your pieces for any reason? How and Why? God I'm needy.
I have a phoenix with a really loose post and curreuntly no screws, so its a prefect candidate for testing. maybe in a few days i'll sharpie the base at the airhole, go at it for a few minutes, and keep measuring how many ridges it moves. That sounds like a good test.
Cheers!

[TOMT][Torrent] Game collection

Basically it was a collection of old PC games. Some legitimately badass games. It was a gigantic list, of games like TMNT and the likes. The gui was extremely simple. IIRC it was on a disc (burned), so most likely a torrent. You'd scroll with the arrow keys, no mouse clicking. Once you'd find your game, you'd hit enter and type in OK, for whatever convoluted ass reason. Some worked, some didnt, but they were all awesome. could've been ms-dos games but not sure. If anyone at all remembers what i'm talking about, i'd be ecstatic. Not much info :\ but the typing OK thing made it really stand out.

So wait, what's wrong with darker roasts?
|
I was perusing the side bar this morning, and noticed the coffee guidelines below the submission rules. It says:
" IV: Avoid dark roasts in the beginning (or forever!). Coffee is not supposed to be bitter and angry like 99% of dark roasts. Not to mention that dark roasts are very susceptible to over-extraction."
This is the first time I've heard any of that. This seems helpful for future visits to coffee places I'm unfamiliar with (where the darker roasts often taste burnt), but I consistently find that I enjoy the darker roasts more than the lighter ones. The taste seems richer, stronger, there seems to be more "oomph" to them than lighter roasts. I learned to drink coffee on lighter roasts, and through trial and error found dark roasts and loved them. However, the caveat: I primarily get coffee at Trader Joe's (the TJ brand dark roast is nummy), local coffee shops (one by my old place actually roasted there in the shop, and it was heavenly), or in a pinch, I'll get Peet's. Not to say I haven't had shitty dark roasts, because I have, and avoid those brands/roasts like the plague afterwards. But I have also had that experience with lighter roasts too, so it's not isolated to just dark coffees.
Is this dark roast = bad thing primarily due to shitty grocery store coffee, or do I just have weird taste buds? I guess what I'm looking for is more of an expansion on what exactly is so bad about darker roasts.
If how I take my coffee matters, here it is: I drink my coffee primarily with just some sugar, and a little bit of milk - if milk's not available, sugar alone is fine. Not sure on the exact amount I usually use, but it's about 1 - 2 teaspoons at home, or in a large sized coffee cup from the coffee shop, 3 splendas/sugar packets.
Thanks everyone!

i'm probably just googling the wrong phrase, but i'm looking for a list of 50-100 "must try" beers. i dont like going into BevMo and aimlessly wandering the beer isles, especially since 1/2 of what i pick up winds up being shite.
id prefer something generalized, the few lists ive found seem to be concentrated on IPAs and/or lagers. i love the varying selections of fellow redditors, so maybe we could even put something together.

Gunnit, why are AK magazines banana shaped?
|
I was just wondering, why are AK magazines banana shaped? It seems to me that straight magazines would be much easier to store and take out of your mag pouches.

97 Civic Ex - How to get the hood open?
|
Forgive me in advance, I don't know the proper name of any car parts.
The switch in my car I use to open the hood broke off, and I have no idea how to get the hood open right now. I went by a couple of junkyards but no one has the part so...how in the hell can I get to my engine?

Linux alternatives for MS SBS 2008
|
Our company SBS 2008 server crashed on Monday (hardware failure). In a pinch I setup an Ubuntu server to catch emails and provide DNS and etc to get by. Bought a replacement server that had SBS 2011 essentials installed, to my surprise it didn't come with Exchange Server. So now I'm reloading the SBS 2008 software and it's extremely slow process. I'm on day 2 of just getting the updates! Our company has like 10 users. Our primary applications are Domain Controller, DNS, DHCP, File Shares, Remote Access, and EMail (with smartphone support). SBS is nice but I think it has a lot of services that we won't take advantage of. What Linux alternatives are available? The server is pretty decent, Intel Server board w/Xeon quad core, 8gb ram and RAID 5.

Is PoM a disqualifying factor for Service Academy Candidates? (X-Post from ask.reddit)
|
Question for Current service academy students, Alumni or (specifically) Naval Officers
I AM A: Current Enlisted Candidate for the US Naval Academy and I have a:
Possession of Marijuana *arrest* (as minor, B-Misdemeanor)
Seven years ago, *no charge* (dropped immediately)
Current security clearance: Secret.
**Is this a disqualifying factor for Service Academies?**
I am currently awaiting response from USNA for appointment (Final stage before they cut me orders) and am starting to worry about it only because this will be the only reason I don't get in. (88th percentile SATs, top of my A and 2 C schools, top sailor at my command, many LORs, Near maximum CFA, maxed PFAs)
**The report is already in my OMPF**, has been for two years (MEPS), was denied Nuclear Power Program upon original enlistment, due to clearance.
Would they have even considered me, knowing that this information was provided during the Preliminary Application, and I am currently on the final stage? Is it safe to consider myself a competitive candidate if I am at this point in the appointment process?
Any more questions to help understand will be readily answered.
**EDIT** If you have no experience in this subject, don't reply. Enlisted military experience and initial "MEPS" style knowledge can move along.

Fun is going to be releasing a third single from Some Nights soon. Any guesses as to which song it would be?
|
I was watching a video of fun. being interviewed at Lollapalooza, and they said that they will be releasing another song as a single sometime soon. I don't remember which video it was but I could try and find it if anyone is interested.
What song do you guys think it will be? I would think it'd either be All Alone, Why Am I The One or One Foot. I wonder if their new single will do as well as We Are Young and Some Nights have done.

Tiptronic vs Automatic Transmission that lets you select gears
|
I've googled around and gotten mixed results on this....
Basically, what is the difference between a tiptronic transmission and an automatic transmission that lets you select gears (Ie: 1-5 with 5 being your overdrive)? Is it bad to shift a car manually if you have the latter?
I know the practical purpose for this is to be able to engine brake, or climb hills with higher amounts of torque.

So my roommates an asshole.
|
Okay, so my college roommate is the biggest asshole I know. I unfortunatly got put with him last semester and have been even more unfortunatly stuck with him again this semester. Now I know what you're thinking and yes I realize all roommates can be a pain in the ass, but here's why this guys the worst.
Reason#1 He showers weekly. That right, one time a week. He literally smells awful. Our whole entire dorm smells like a possum crawl up him, vomited, and then died.
Reason#2 (probably the biggest reason) No respect for anyone other than himself. I visited home over the weekend and I come back and he has not only rearranged all of MY stuff, but let others pick through it and just take or borrow things(I found it all and got it all back) and didn't feel the need to tell me. He told me he got rid of the food he didn't need. Thinking he meant HIS food I didn't think twice. Later I find not only did he rearrange the room but put all of his and my food together and proceeded to throw out everything "I wasn't eatin anyway". MY FOOD. The food I paid for with my money from a job I don't have anymore. He takes money from me consistantly because he can't afford things. When I ask for the money he owes back he doesn't pay it back because "I never said he had too". God forbid I ever do it to him though.
Reason #3 He's a lazy fuckin' slob. He sleeps all the time, wake up late in the day (roughly 3pm) whines about being so tired, though he slept a good 6 hours more than anyone else in the dorm, and misses all his classes. He whines about that, gets depressed, doesn't do his homework, takes a nap, wake up late, isn't tired, does nothing, and then goes to bed late and starts this all over again. When he is a awake is when it gets terrible. There is a spot on our toilet roughly the size of a baby's head where he just couldn't seem to keep his own urine in the toilet. I called him on it and told him he's cleaning it up. He didn't say anything(he hates confrontation) and it's been there ever since. His clothes are strewn everywhere in our room. My trash can is the only one in the room, but we share it. If its full when we get to it we take it out. Or so I thought. Its packed over the rim right now, and as I am writing this he is balancing a box on top of two milk cartons and some other various trash. It all just toppled over and he left it there. He has no sense of responsibility. Did I mention when I try to be respectful and nice to him he gets mad? Last semester I would wake him up so he wouldn't miss and fail his classes. Guess what the ungrateful bastard does? He gets pissed off at me and yells at me for it then rolls over and goes back to sleep. Okay, lesson learned, I know better now. This semester I didn't wake him up for a class and his job and he missed them both. Guess what? He got pissed. Things like this have happened hundreds of times(literally) since we got here in August.
I am fucking sick of this, I've tried everything to stop it. I've gotten mad at him (he gets really mopey and depressed), I've held my tongue and kept my temper and calmly talked to him about it (to which his only replies were "you're being stupid" "shut up" and "eh"), and I've tried being passive-aggressive. I do the same things he does to me to him, he just gets really upset and doesn't understand that he does the same thigns to me. I've even talked to the RA's. Nothing works. I can't kill him(believe me, the thought has crossed my mind) and I can't get a new roommate til next August. So, here's my question. Reddit, what do you think? What way would you handle this? I'm open to all suggestions so long as they dont put me in jail. I'm looking for one damn good way to get under his skin 10 times worse than he get under mine so he understands.

What are some cool/key principles that any aspiring mathematician should have knowledge of?
|
I am a senior and a math major, but also premed. The premed requirements have engulfed much of my college coursework, leaving me no time to take math classes I am interested in such as combinatorics, cryptology, geometry, and abstract algebra. I am doing the bare minimum to receive my math degree but I still have a thirst for mathematical knowledge. I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions on some interesting and important math principles that anyone who claims to know something about math should have knowledge of? Thanks for the input.
EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the responses. I'll be sure to archive this post and dig into some of these topics (there is no way I'll have time for all of them! Plus I'm familiar with a few already). You guys are awesome!

Thank you so much to all of you who post on r/greyhounds!
|
I desperately want a greyhound but can't have one due to limited space, time, and money (I'm in grad school right now). I love this thread for all the uploaded pictures to see other people's greyhounds doing all the things they do best and for all the Q&A posts so I know what to expect when I finally am in a position to adopt my own.
So to make a short comment long, I just wanted to say that all of your posts are much appreciated. Thank you r/greyhounds!

What camera body can this lens fit? And is it worth it?
|
So I have a Minolta Maxxum 5 and I bought this thinking that it was a good fit and compatible, but it wasn't. This thing is just laying around, collecting dust, even though I really wanted to use it.
So which camera is this lens good for? And more importantly, is it even worth it?

Proving a limit - am I doing this right?
|
This is my first time doing this. I think I understand it now, but I want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
Prove `lim{x->3} (1 + x/3) = 2`
if `|x - 3| < δ` then `|1 + x/3 - 2| < ε`
`|x/3 - 1| < 0.6`
`-0.6 < x/3-1 < 0.6`
`0.4 < x/3 < 1.6`
`1.2 < x < 4.8`
Since `|3 - 1.2| = |3 - 4.8| = 1.8`, `δ = 1.8`.
`0 < |x - 3| < 1.8 -> |1 + x/3 - 2| < 0.6`

r/spicy has inspired me to try growing some of my own peppers. Picked up a handful from the farmer's market this weekend!
|
I realize it's probably too late in the year to harvest any peppers before winter, but I at least want to at least get some seeds planted and growing.
I grabbed some habaneros and thai chiles from the farmer's market, and i'm going to get them in some soil tonight and try to get them to sprout.
Pics of my beautiful peppers:
I'm using this guide from thechileman.org:
Also, if there are any Atlanta area /r/spicy readers, I got these from the Dekalb Farmer's Market. I only spent about 17c on the thais and 35c on the habenaros.

Custom commander with some whenever abilities.
|
So Im a commander player and I want to make a deck for a custom commander.
My idea is for him/it/her to have a few Whenever something happens something happens abilites, he can have some other abilities but Id want him to have 2 of Whenever.
Im currently on a blank plate, I don't know about the wedge other than that I want it to have alteast 2 colors, 4 colour might be interesting as there are no commanders for those slots. Also mana cost can be anyhwere from 4 to 9
So here are my Whenevers that Ive been thinking about, Whenever a player shuffles their library something, whenever combat damage or damage is dealt something, whenever a land enters the battlefield something, whenever a creature is tapped... I appreciate something that isn't used so much (like whenever a creature dies). General wackiness is also appreciated.
So far Ive been just lurking this sub so lend me your design powers, thank you whoever helps me fullfill this very broad request. This deck will be made before I leave for the northern plane of Lappland which is in a little over a month.
