I don't have any questions. Is it ok to just lurk?

What are the best excel books/tutorials? I'd like to master VBA but the shit on youtube sucks.

When I write an AHK script to click the mouse somewhere, it bases the coordinates within the current window. Can I tell it to click the mouse somewhere based on absolute coordinates of the screen instead?

I'm trying to get an ancient flash game to work (mudandblood.net/mudandblood2.swf)

The game loads and I can get to wave 100 or so (based on game2hard, not any bug).

Then I go to check my profile and check how many waves I survived in the stats page on the profile, and the game crashes. When I load it back up, I still have all the medals earned during the game, but the stats page says 0 waves survived, and a bunch of other numbers are 0 when they shouldn't be.

What's wrong, and how do I get this working? This game was my life like, ten years ago

Asked last night but the thread was kill:
What's a decent browser that will still werk with OSX Lion?

I have a Raspberry pi 3 with Kodi installed, connected to the network.

Is there a way I can access the interface from my PC as if I was at the TV? I already have the remote app, but the problem is I can't see what is happening.

I just need the visual feed on my pc so that I can download stuff there and pick it up through SMB.

Any clues?

btw, I tried the browser stuff, it just crashes.

Install a vnc or rdp server.

Can someone help me understand this? I really don't know how it works.
The idea of this is that it makes a matrix of epsilon closures in an FSA. The full program prints the table labelled 'true' if a state can reach another using only e, and 'false' if it can't.
int n_states = 3;

int[][] delta=new int[][]{
{0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 1},
{0, -1, 2},
{1, 1, 2},
{2, 0, 2},
{2, 1, 2},
{2, -1, 2},
{0, -1, 0}
};

// Given an FSAe A, compute its epsilon-closure relation
static boolean[][] e_closure(HelloWorld A)
{
boolean[][] eClos = new boolean[A.n_states][A.n_states];
// initialise the matrix with diagonal elements to true
for (int i=0; i

thanks, that seems like the proper way to do it. I just didn't find anything while searching for it.

Hey Sup Forums. Can anyone help me rip these images? They switched to an XHTML reader. The images are scrambled when I dump the responses in Fiddler.

That is my GT 640. The 1070 ITX is still quite small but bigger than it. Will it even fit on my motherboard, or would it collide with all the shit on the bottom even if the motherboard was outside of the case?

GT 640:
Length 5.70 inches
Height 4.38 inches
Width Dual-width

GTX 1070 ITX Gigabyte:
Length 5.20 inches
Height 6.70 inches
Width Dual-width

Computer is a Dell XPS 8500 from whenever the GT 640 was new.

tldr you are 5+ years too late to make money on it unless you plan on building a warehouse and filling it with hundreds of thousands of dollars of purpose-build ASICS (and powering it with cheap Chinese electricity)

Are you asking will something smaller fit where something bigger currently is ?

thanks famalam

I am petrified at buying something and then being told there's a reason why I can't actually use it. Maybe despite being not as long, the extra height or the width of the GTX 1070 would be too much for the motherboard or something, I don't know. I have never replaced or put in my own CPU or GPU before. I've only done RAM and HDDs, which are uniform in size and not nearly as expensive as purchasing a 1070.

Taking software courses for the first time next semester, but because my schedule is weirdly balanced, I have to take at least two different languages at once. I have experience in python, but how fucked am I?

It will fit, it takes up two slots worth of mobo room, look at the fucking width you retard the length is smaller it's like an ice cream sandwich.

how do i hack a facebook without using keylogger or xploits?

Yes, they both take up two slots, but the GTX 1070 is going to be bigger than my GT 640 which literally could be a single slot if it weren't for the huge ass fan on it. You don't have to be so mean ;_;

guess the person's password
most people are retarded so this isn't as hard as it sounds

When new CPUs don't support previous windows versions does that actually mean anything or is it just Microsoft really desperately wanting you inside their area of surveillance

Two courses are CSS/HTML and C++, both intro courses.

No.

Will 720p video look as bad on a 1080p 27" monitor as on a 1440p 27" monitor, or is it just about the size? Could 1440p be even better considering upscaling algorithms?

That's just sad.

What ultrabook or similar device should i get? I can't decide between dell xps 13 and microsoft surface book. Xps would be nice since i could run linux on it but would be nice to have the tablet features of the surface book

Pick whichever one sticks in your brain more.

Why? It's not like dell makes very good products usually.

Is it possible to resuscitate these two 2.0 ports or are they fucked? Plugging in working USBs brings up nothing, and a 360 doesn't even power on, so it's probably blown the power aspect?

I also have no questions, and no

Is The C Programming Language still the best book to learn C? Is it outdated?

Right now I have it stashed in the attic wrapped in a blanket, is there a more Sup Forums solution?

No that's fine and what most people do. I tend to leave mine on unless i have a reason to turn it off (like a website that wont load work correctly due to the vpn like kissanime)

Anyone know how to answer this?

Two people are playing a board game with forty tiles on the board, wrapping around in a loop. Player one rolls two six sided dice each turn, and moves that amount of spaces. Player two rolls two six sided dice on the first turn only, and moves that amount of spaces every turn. If a space on the board is chosen at random, what is the probability that player two lands on that space before player one does?

I plan on building a new PC. I won't say which brand because shills, it will be in march though. Is it a good idea to buy some of the more universal things like memory, case, PSU, and hard drive now and just sit on them for a few weeks?

Not a formal answer, but:

Factors of 40 in [2, 12] are 2, 4, 5, 8, 10. I cba to work out the odds (it'd be a triangular distribution with two dice throws) but if player 2 rolled a factor n, he'd only have a 1/n chance of ever finishing. Player 1 can land on every square. So the answer is probably P1.

(Game should really have a prime number of tiles)

(Also there are some numbers e.g. 6 which aren't factors but you'd never land on odd squares, so take them into account when you solve it)

thanks

Fuck, thought the question was "who's more likely to win", ignore that answer. Also it seems like the sorta thing you could simulate a billion times to find the answer, screw stats.

My monitor has this odd yellow tint to it despite all colors on the OSD being set to a balanced 50. I tried deleting all profiles but the ICC in color management, but that didn't work. What should be the next step of my master plan?

No.

I want to cut video (anime) into video playable on a tablet (everything but .flv?), with minimal video quality loss. How do?

>sales
he's saying the components you want may go on sale and become discounted
so there's no reason to buy them until the last moment

why can your tablet not play the original files? what format are they?
are you sure you can't just get a better video player app for your tablet?

I'm more worried that the rush of shoppers picking up Zen will drive the cost of things up. Memory seems to move up and down like the cost of gasoline and my case is already $50 off.

I meant, I can get the anime just fine, but I want to cut it so I have an arbitrary length of it as a separate video. I wanted to say that I don't want to be stuck with a filetype I can't play, forcing me to use convert instruments online that grossly reduce quality or something.

>are you sure you can't just get a better video player app for your tablet?

desu my tablet has android 6.0 or something, so I think it's the latest? It doesn't appear to be able to play .flv, so I don't know what to do. My image viewer of choice (Quickpic) can't play .flv anyway so I wanna stay from it, i think...

if you just want to cut videos or convert filetypes ffmpeg should do the job just fine, as long as you're not afraid of a little CLI
not sure where you're getting .flv from though, most subbed anime on e.g. nyaa are .mkv

if you just want to make a 1 minute clip starting ta the timestamp 15:03 you would use the following command:
ffmpeg -ss 15:03 -t 1:00 -i boku_no_pico_05.mkv result_clip.mkv
and then result_clip.mkv would be the thing you wanted
it can also convert between file formats if you want to do that

avidemux can do that. It's clunky and takes some getting used to but once you do it's easy. I want to stress that I don't believe the action of editing the video file itself is a good idea. Just get a competent video player for android and play the original file.

desu the scenes I want to cut range from only a few frames of an animation loop, to a few seconds. A minute is way too long. And I don't necessarily have .flv anime files- I just wanted to avoid ending up with .flv, you know. But thanks for the resources, anyway. Cheers.

>I want to stress that I don't believe the action of editing the video file itself is a good idea. Just get a competent video player for android and play the original file.

I only want a few seconds of some episodes- I don't want to straight convert entire episodes. But thanks for the rec, I'll check it out.

I got my hands on a 2TB WD PURPLE HDD.
Of course it was used in a CCTV setting, but the SMART data looks ok.

Would be there any kind of problems using it for domestic use? (storing porn, music, etc)

I don't really know about WD color shit.

well obviously that was just an example, you can create a clip of any duratoin

Oh, thank you. I hope I can do it right. The wiki has an explanation for what the commands mean.

Is there anything like this that currently exists?

I mean, I'm biased as fuck, but I've never been disappointed by a single dell product I've ever owned. I've owned the Surface Pro 3 and it was a pretty solid device, so I think it comes down to how much do you think you'd really utilize the features of the XPS v. Surface Book. XPS 13 is only iGPU, whereas Book does/can have a dGPU. If it's just a question of XPS 13 vs The Surface Book, I'd go with the book. That's because I like to draw though.

Purples have special vibration dampening for use in large RAID arrays and run a little slower for the sake of reliability. That's more or less the only difference in a purple. It's perfectly fine for your needs.

thanks m8

Every 5 minutes or so Google Maps will pop up on my Android phone with my last last search. Anyone else have that issue/know how to make it go away?

saved one of these from a garbage can.
Seems to work. I know you nerds like these things. They're $250 new but I can't figure out what it'll go for used.

Anyone know what it's worth? I'm probably holding onto it either way

>It's not like dell makes very good products usually.
Dell sucks, but Microsoft is even worse. Don't get me started on HP, Compaq or Sony's former VIAO line.

I'm sorry. I'm trying to use ffmpeg but I don't understand it. How do I open it, and how do I input a file into it?

I've used youtube-dl before, and I figured out I need to put it in C:\Users\[user] to be able to cmd > filename to open it. But ffmpeg is a folder, and I still don't understand how to feed it a video...
