Not sure how it popped into my head but, I was just curious as to what the first game was that used an online pass?

Looks like it might be Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11

I've been wanting to take all my old wrestling shoot interview dvd's and just rip the audio as mp3's so I can listen to them on my phone. I just want to rip the audio (about 2.5 hours each) at a fairly low bitrate as quality isn't an issue. Is there a simple program that will do this for me in a few clicks?

How do I erase an iPhoto library on my Mac?
Apparently it takes up about 25GB and I'm not using it as I have all of my photos and videos on a NAS.

Also another question. My old Samsung NC10 netbook have been broken for 2 years now but I would like to try fix it myself by replacing the motherboard. The workshop asked for $610 but I believe it can be done much cheaper if I do it myself.

But where can I find such a motherboard?

What are those changing walls called? The fold-able walls you see in movies, usually with a woman changing behind them?

What are they actually called?

Folding screens, I think.

Dressing screen, privacy screen, folding screen, panel screen or simply a screen.

Thanks! Room dividers seems to be a popular name too. I'm looking to buy some and couldn't find what I wanted on Amazon but now I can

How do the conveyors in crematoriums work?

I decided last night that if I were to ever kill myself I'd want to shoot myself in the head while riding the conveyor into the cremation oven so that my family wouldn't have to deal with the body afterwards, is this feasible?

I'm not depressed, I just like to have a contingency for every situation.

what's with the "heuehueue"? I don't get the meme past the point it had something to do with Brazilian players gate crashing some game in beta phase and outnumbered english speaking players significantly. And how do you pronounce "huehueheehue"?

Yep, I read that earlier. I completely forgot to look at the "heuheuheheu" part. Thanks mate.

Is dying of cancer less painful if you refuse treatment? How much less painful? I am wondering because I know of two elderly people that refused treatment and wonder how "peacefully" they passed.

[ChefRamsay]

Is a recession defined as two consecutive quarters of declining growth, or negative growth?

For example, theoretical GDP numbers:

Scenario A: Q1=+1.3%, Q2=+0.8%, Q3=+0.4%, Q4=+0.3%

Scenario B: Q1=+1.3%, Q2=-0.2%, Q3=-0.4%, Q4=-0.1%

Would Q2 to Q4 in both A and B be classified as a "Recession"? Or just B?

It depends on the cancer, and the treatment. Radiation therapy is what people dread typically, but it's normally used in conjunction with surgery, i.e. a cancerous tumor is removed, and radiotherapy is used to hopefully cause total celldeath to any remaining cancerous cells, and stop them for spreading.

Older people do react more negatively to radiotherapy generally, but surgery, presuming they're fit enough for it, shouldn't have any long lasting physical discomfort, and shouldn't have affected how peaceful or not their death was.

It's really impossible to say, but fundamentally, the side effects of radiotherapy are not pleasant, especially in the elderly. I think there's dignity in declining treatment in later years.

Just B. It's declining GDP, not declining growth.

Yeah, I saw that one but it's not the picture I'm looking for. It's not a particularly obscure picture either, so I don't know why it's so hard to find :/

Any computer technicians here?

This isn't really a stupid question but I don't think it deserves its own thread. A week after installing Windows 8, my laptop began to freeze. I've isolated it to occurring when my battery is charging. I switched both battery and AC adapter with my brother though it still occurs.

Here's the interesting thing though: my battery still charges when the laptop's switched off and I can successfully run my laptop without any freezes with battery only, or AC only (running without a battery).

So it only crashes when the battery is inserted and charging while running Windows 8. It doesn't crash instantly. Sometimes after a minute, sometimes after 30 minutes and sometimes after several hours. I've Googled, installed the latest Lenovo Windows 8 drivers and looked at Event Viewer after each crash but nothing comes up. There are also no minidumps produced.

When it crashes, the screen is still there but completely frozen (no BSOD). I have to reset it by pressing down on the power button for a few seconds.


I was thinking it may be a motherboard issue (PLEASE NO), but there are reasons why I think it's not. I mean, it still charges when turned off and works whilst not charging and the fact that it's inconsistent in when it freezes makes me believe it's not a hardware issue. I don't think it's a Windows 8 issue since that ran fine for 10 days before it started freezing.

Is there any software which will assist in finding the cause? I've stopped all non-Windows services from running, but still no luck. I really can't afford to format now with exams in two weeks but I'll need to at least try it if nothing can resolve this.

Since changing my password GAF has been logging me out as if the remember me button hasn't been selected.

Any ideas? I assumed it was related to cookies, but apparently not (I reset Safari).

I had similar problems last year maybe. Whenever I hit enter after typing my password, it would not save it. But if I manually pressed the login button, it would remember it. Try that maybe? :S

[Mikey Jr.]

Ok, this question is going to be really hard I think, but I'll try anyways.

Ok, there used to be this toy. I THINK it came in different sports varieties, but the one I remember was baseball. At the bottom was this lever that you would push to the side, and it would wind the toy up. Then, the backboard where you score would move side to side, and you would use the baseball bat to flick little balls into the scoreboard, and it would actually keep track. As you scored, the little balls would travel behind the backboard, down some tracks, and back to the front, where you could use them again to score.

There wasn't anything electronic, or needed batteries. Operated purely as a wind up toy. It was loud as hell, and it came in a red box. Its not a super super old toy, but I remember having it probably about 13-14 years ago.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Perhaps the Hot Shot series? Basketball was more popular but they had Baseball too, apparently.

What was the name of the girl who would always do reports on Keith Olbermann's Countdown on msnbc back in the day? She had brown hair. I just saw a very brief clip of her on 60 minutes and it's bugging me. I can't remember her name for the life of me now.

No. You need the right glasses for your TV. There are a few "universal" ones out there, but they don't work very well.

How would I go about listening to my iPod shuffle (most recent model) in the car? My car doesn't have a cassette deck, so the cassette adapter things that people use isn't an option.

Does anyone have any experience purchasing digital items from international Amazon sites?

Amazon.ca doesn't sell digital games, and Amazon.com has this Walking Dead deal on. Just wondering as a Canadian if I would run into any issues buying digital games from the US site.

I bought a couple of digital games from Amazon.com (i'm in EU) with an US address, used the keys on steam, but i could've just downloaded them fine from there, i think.

The "watchlist" is universal. It should show up on any device you use.

Great. Thanks for the answer! I originally wanted to watch it on the Xbox 360, but wasn't sure if I had to use Microsoft Points to purchase the film. Good to know that it's all universal.

Assuming the card fits in both phones and is not locked to an operator, probably. This is possible where I live at least.

How do I record my voice onto my MacBook and make an mp3 file out of it? It's an older Mac (10.5) so GarageBand's out of the question.

EDIT: Nevermind, forgot I had Audacity...Haven't used it since November but it gets the job done!

Forgive me my ignorance, but how does one go about making an avatar which mixes with the background of a website? Example: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=306

[Lirlond]

It would need to be transparent. There are loads of guides, but how you do it depends on what software you have.

[FillerB]

Forgive me my ignorance, but how does one go about making an avatar which mixes with the background of a website? Example: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=306

It uses transparency in the image. Just use any image editor which supports that (Paint.NET, photoshop, GIMP etc.) and remove what you don't want to show up. Then save it as a PNG and upload it to GAF. Remember to make your image smaller than 100x120px or else GAF's autoresizer removes the transparency.

Alternatively ask the fine folk in the Forum Avatar Request Thread to fix you up.
