You can have all the money and sex youll ever want You're in the middle of your intercontinental road trip you took to find yourself because you've been kicked out of college, every relationship you've been in has been a mess and the only thing that your parents can reliably expect from you is complete disappointment when your car breaks down in the middle of Massachusetts. Salem, Massachusetts. It's about to start raining and you can feel the stare from a murder of crows penetrating your soul from atop the landlines so you decide to knock on the first house you see since it's not like you know anyone and besides, anyone you would know wouldn't want to help you because nothing good will ever come out of you. When you approach the door, you

Whats happening to my computer Yesterday I downloaded and purchased a license for Kaspersky PURE. Figured I'd run a full scan since it was my first day with it, so I went ahead and upgraded the database and let it go for a scan. It was getting late so I decided to go ahead and take shower and when I came back to my room, my computer was restarting. Slightly confounded, I sat down to look at what was happening and eventually observed my computer was going through a cycle of blue screens of death to being restarted. I shut it off to deal with it later, and today I have absolutely no idea what to do. It can't start in safe mode at all and when I start it regularly, the start menu is the only thing that shows with a black screen, until I eventu

Cool math trick No, this isn't the 0.999... = 1 crap. A friend told me this the other day and I thought this was pretty cool, but maybe I'm just easily impressed. If you take 9 and multiply it by any countable number n, the sum of the resultant's digits will always end up at 9. For example, 9 x 2 = 18 => (1 + 8) = 9 9 x 7 = 63 => (6 + 3) = 9 9 x 16 = 144 =>(1 + 4 + 4) = 9 9 x 64 = 576 => (5 + 7 + 6) = 18 = (1 + 8) = 9 9 x 71 = 639 => (6 + 3 + 9) = 18 = (1 + 8) = 9 9 x 481 = 4329 => (4 + 3 + 2 + 9) = 18 = (1 + 8) = 9 9 x 999999 = 8999991 => (8 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 1) = 54 = (5 + 4) = 9 This only works for the number 9.

Is my stinginess ruining my laptop? Didn't realize I posted this on chat instead of tech, so I locked that one and remade this one. I've had an ASUS U52F notebook for a little over two years now and about four or five months ago, the battery died. I removed the battery from my laptop and when I put my laptop to charge without the battery, it would start up and work normally. So, I said to myself, screw the battery, and just decided to use it with the charger. I'd take the charger with me when I needed to use the laptop outside of home. However, in the past few days, I've noticed that apparently my charger has a faulty connection or something and won't receive any power if I move it to certain positions. Since I have no battery, this means a

Cheap methods of acquiring secondary stat boosts? I decided to make a Mercedes a couple of days ago. I lost my main account quite a while ago, but had 35m sitting in one of my secondary accounts for some reason. Besides this initial sum of money, I will not have any other funding. Even though I am well aware that I cannot afford it, I haven't pumped any base STR into my character. Eventually, due to the lack of funding, I figure I'll weave some STR in, but before that, I would like to make sure I have any and every cheap boost for secondary stats that this game offers now. I have not been playing in the recent months so I am completely oblivious to the on-going events that are happening and I don't know much about professions. As of now, I

Im thinking of coming back to play casually I've been gone for a while and apparently Nexon has pulled more jobs out of their ass. When I quit Maplestory the last job that had been released was Wild Hunters. If I want to try any of the newer classes, which one should I go for? I'm not interested in getting too deep into optimization or anything. Just your basic casual player I guess. I'd have zero funding, I don't care about damage or perfection or any of that crap, and I'm not a big fan of mages. I've only had experience with Arch Mage and a Hero.

I need help with math I have a formula which I know how to use, but am a little unsure of how it came to be and would appreciate if anyone with understanding would clarify this up for me. [b]v[/b] = ll[b]v[/b]ll (cos(a)i, sin(a)j) This is what I understand so far: Let's say I draw a vector with a horizontal component of cos(a) and a vertical component of sin(a). Since I know that magnitude is equal to sq.rt(x^2 + y^2), I substitute the values and get sin^2(a) + cos^2(a), which is a nice Pythagorean identity which equals one. Since the magnitude of the vector equals 1, then the vector is a unit vector. Furthermore, if I were to try to find the angle a of vector [b]v[/b], after substituting tan(a) = y/x, I notice that what ends up resulting i

I need s. I also need to extend the damn title. I've decided this semester to get a couple of annoying credits out of the way in college which led me to tackle the bane of so many's existence: Speech class. I do well finding sources, but not so well in what I need today. We're starting off the semester with a [i]thrilling[/i] introductory speech where we present ourselves with a short-term goal we have and then basically find a way to talk for five minutes without actually saying anything meaningful. I've decided to go above and beyond and think outside of the box and chose to talk about how I plan to graduate college. However, the speech must follow a very specific rubric and we must follow by example a sample outline provided to us by our
