[quote name='lordwow']A lot of people who don't go here give us weird looks when we try to explain it, but you've gotta consider a few things:

A) I don't want to go home for the summer. I don't have a car, because Boston is really easy to public transit around.
B) I'm leaving here with 3 full-time jobs in my field (well 2 in my field and 1 in a related field) along with several great references.
C) I've had 5 years to work on student activities and meeting people and all the cool college stuff. I would feel like I didn't get to do everything I wanted if I had graduated this spring (when everyone else I graduated HS with finished)[/quote]D) I like getting high-speed Internet access for free? :D

[quote name='Eviltude']I dunno about all the shotgun shells and what not but i know that chick
would have atleast passed out from hypothermia within about 10-20 minutes. Also, I doubt hypothermia would hurt very much since all the blood effectively gets drained from your limbs to try and keep your heart and brain going.
Either way, it's a stupid movie with nothing more than shock factor. If you're watching it for the plot or a sense of reality, you're going to be disappointed.[/quote]
Yeah, exactly.
I loved how she was somehow coated with a sheet of ice there at the end. :roll: What I meant about the shotguns was that:

1. The shotshells showed evidence of having already been fired, thus they wouldn't have gone off at the end of the movie.
2. The hammers that make the shotshells go off didn't have the necissary parts to them to cause the shotshells to discharge.
3. The distance between the shotshell and the hammer was great enough for the doctor to place a piece of metal between the hammers and shells, which would prevent them from combusting. The hammer would just smack into the piece of metal, and that would have been it. She could have then held the hammer, moved the piece of metal, and gently set the hammer down, disarming the collar.
4. The shotshells were only secured in place by a U shaped piece of metal, which would have allowed the doctor to remove them by hand whenever she wanted.
5. This is after the fact: The shotshells weren't secured during combustion except for the hammers that caused them to explode and the small U rings that held them down. This means that rather than channelling the shot into the doctor's head, the shells would have just exploded *around* the U rings, and also gone flying out of the collar rig. You see, Newton's law applies here. Assuming it's 000-buckshot that was in the shotgun shells, then the shot would have exited the shell at 1100 FPS. Now, when that force is projected out the front, the shotshell is compelled by Newton's law to move backwards, also at 1100 FPS. The reason the kick on a shotgun is so rough is because you're taking roughly (this is disregarding the mass of the shotgun itself) the force of the 1100 FPS into your shoulder. Now, since the shotshells int he movie were unsecured, they would not have stayed in place after discharging, they would have flown out of the collar at likely 1000 FPS, breaking the hammers. The doctor would likely have died regardless, but her injuries would be less severe, and the collar would have been ruined.

Think of it this way: when you fire a traditional firearm in space, let's say an AR with a 3600 FPS varmint load, then the bullet will exit the weapon at 3600 FPS- but you will also go backwards at 3600 FPS, because there's no force pushing back against the force of the bullet. With the collar, there was no force pushing back against the shotguns as they discharged.

But the Newton's Law is sort of a moot point, since the shotshells would have just exploded, not into her face, but around the U ring. The intention of the chamber of a gun is to contain the explosive force of what it's firing; if you just detonate any bullet without a chamber around it, the round will explode in all directions.. since there's nothing to contain the explosion.

At the end of the film, the shotshells are shown held naturally in place, which is the last thing that would have happened.

Yay for ballistics knowlege.

All physics bullshit aside, the movie sucked. I sort of liked the whole appreciate your life premise, but seeing humans in pain and agony makes me an upset horsie.
 
Geegeetee geegeetee, m i rite?!?! Kwagmyer rawx mai sawx~

...Because, you know, every person who watched Saw 3 noticed those things, tiph. That's hardly an argument as to why it'd be a poor movie.

Aye Makler. Linksys generally is good. The distinction that it is a Linux router means the software onboard is a Linux derivative, which makes it a much more powerful device than the "normal" 54G, which I have.

So it doesn't actually mean it's only compatible with Linux, it's just labeling the internal software of the router.

'Course it's compatible with Linux as well.

Bascially:

54G - Normal Wireless G router
54GS - Same as above, but with "Speedbooster technology," which sounds like blast processing if I've ever heard it
54GL - A 54G that doesn't suck

Edit: That was weird. Moxio quoted Makler before Makler's post reflected the second two routers, so it was like Moxio was foretelling the future.
 
I have to say, it's pretty amusing to me that Best Buy forgot that I picked up all of those Fox DVDs with an in-store pickup, and refunded me the money 2 weeks ago and didn't notice.

I got an extra fries last night at Chik-fil-A because I got two large ones and they gave me a medium and a large.

SO THERE.

Which I need to do to mine at some point, once the suckage from running WEP is done with and changed over to WPA/WPA2.
 
I aint much for third party firmwares. My last 54G died after the power cord got kicked out of it by accident, so I just don't have the faith.

I ought to try it some day though. It works well enough for what I have now. Guess that means no motivation to try it.

Not running WEP on it is supposed to help, as well, from what I've seen on DSLReports & other places.

Now that all the devices on my network have WPA-capable adapters, it's time to flip that switch. Guess that's a project for this weekend when they're working on my basement.
 
So I guess I don't see the amazingness of Puzzle Quest that everyone else does. I chose Wizard and I'm level 5, but with only one spell that attacks the enemy. All the others seem like a waste when it's hard enoguh to get mana I need and the enemy is constantly hitting me.

It's also annoying that the spell only does 4 damage. I've found it more boring than anything to just plink away at a 40HP enemy with a skill that only does 4 damage.

Lemme know if you get rid of it, Sixers.

Keen, that aint no relationship, no gf. That's not even a fling. That's like...a coincidence.

I finally beat the "down the beanstalk" level.
It was only Level 1 that was super difficult for me.

Yeah I probably should.

I'm disappointed since people talked about Puzzle Quest like it was the best thing since sliced white bread, and it seems so... meh. Nothing special, and rather annoying slow.

Nope, she wanted the relationship first
I fucking RAN:lol:

Actually, yeah, she is, but that doesn't make parting with the money any easier.

That's a hell of a lot of CDs and games. Damn, I just realized that's TEN PS3s, and I can't convince myself to buy ONE of those things.

And no, Hex, porn is in no way involved.
