Can't seem to get my dedicated graphics to display any picture
|
So as the title states I can't seem to get my GPU to display any picture at all.
**System Specs:**
* Semi Old 850W PSU
* Radeon HD 6950 2Gb
* Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3Ghz
* Asus P8H77-M/CSM
* 8Gb Kingston Hyper X Blu 1333Mhz RAM
**What I've tried so far:**
1. Putting my 6950 in another computer which it worked fine in
2. Try all of my PCI-Express Ports (1 at 16x 3.0 and another x16 2.0 at x4)
3. Use another card in my system (HD 5450)
4. Switch 6Pin cables
My GPU isn't dead and none of my other tries have worked!. at first I thought it was my PCI-E slots and still kind of do but I use a x1 netgear wireless reciever in those x16 slots and it works without a hitch. Used in both and no problem. So right now I have no idea what is wrong. The computer boots into windows with no problem when I use the integrated Intel 3000 graphics so it's not RAM or Hard drive issue. Can anyone help me out?
EDIT: It's not displaying video AT ALL. That means I can't even see the Bios with my GPU in the PCI-e slot.

Why are there so many transport links in this subreddit?

I love this subreddit, but last week it was bashed for the amount of tourist related posts, however, I have noticed there are so many rail/underground/transport posts made in here that seem to conquer.
Maybe someone can create a subreddit for /r/LondonTransport. Nevermind, I just created it for all of you. Please post your transport articles in that subreddit if you don't mind.

Can someone please explain the tipping culture in America?

I'm from England and we do tip at restaurants mostly, but what I don't understand is how it comes across that most American food servers have an attitude for tips and approach people. I've been told that its due to low wages but some stories I see and hear are quite shocking in terms of customer service. Also where does tipping stop for you? For example, someone working in retail spending time with a customer and they don't receive commission, should they receive tips?

Freestyle several seconds slower than other strokes-anyone want to help me figure out what's wrong?
|
I'm a high school senior on my varsity swim team and have never really gotten my freestyle down. As the title says, my freestyle is much slower than my other strokes. My coach is very focused on the newer swimmers and thus does not devote much time to helping me figure out what is going on, other than observing that something is wrong. Apparently my body does not move in a linear motion but more side to side? Is this due to unbalanced arm motions? Something else? I'm not really sure. Also, should my arms be constantly moving or should one rest on the surface until the other finishes its pull? I've been swimming since my sophomore year and my 50 back these past years has been around 26-27 yet my freestyle is more like a 34-35. Huge discrepancy! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I wish I had a video, but any tips are welcome.

I've been a Dolphins fan all my life
|
Since I was born, football has been in my blood. My dad ran out of the hospital when my mom was being rushed in to give birth just to get his lucky Redskins shirt. I was never pushed towards a team so I connected with the one with the best mascot in my opinion, a dolphin. Over the years I grew more and more attached to the team. Being from Las Vegas I never had a true football team and was often the only person wearing a teal shirt or Dan Marino jersey on Sundays. I was young when Dan retired but I still remember crying in my #13 jersey.
Getting older and moving to New York only made my love for the team greater. So many Jets and Giants fans can't understand why but once I tell them I've worn Mercury Morris's undefeated season super bowl ring, they back off. The Dolphins have been one of the only constants in my life. With constant ups and downs, even a losing season reminds me that the franchise is alive and always will be.
I guess what I am trying to say is thank you. Thank you to this community and thank you to the greatest team that will ever play the greatest game, the Miami Dolphins.

Personally Steel is my favourite map in the game, it actually requires a brain to actually play the map,but people hate it because it's very counter intuitive compared to the other maps.
Are there any other maps that require higher stricter play like steel?

/r/Atheism is full of scholars, (as well as other things) but is way too full of circle jerks, while places like /r/Christianity is closer to what I'm looking for, it's only one religion. /r/Zoroastrianism only as a few members, but I know I'm not the only one out there wanting to learn about it.

DayZ: Still not the game I'm looking for.
|
So, I really tried to lilke DayZ. My expectations were really high, like all previous apocalypse games attempts. I thought I finally found "the one" game. If you don't mind, here's what I find is wrong with the game concept of DayZ:
- It feels more Battle Royale than a zombie apocalypse. Whether you like slow or fast-paced zombies it does not matter because the zombies almost have a secondary role in this game, where they punish you if you make mistakes. At the core, it's still PvP, wether you like it or not.
- Exploration is boring. Same buildings over and over all over the place and 90% of them you can't even enter. That was the big turn-off for me at the beginning. I was running away from zombies, heading towards a house I thought I could barricade myself in. Nope, I just died because it was an actually fake house. This totally killed any immersion I had within the first 10 minutes of my first play.
- Zombies are boring, too. They're really just dumb moving obstacles. There's no variations to their pattern. There's no random events (ie hordes, or whatever). Personnaly, I find that fast zombies was a bad choice for the game. It would have been way more interesting to have thousands of slow-moving zombies than a handful of fast ones. It would have added tension to the game, where as right now, if I'm spotted, I know I'm dead and all I've got to do is run until the zombie glitches. (I know thousands of slow zombies is probably impossible with the Arma2 engine, but hey, that's not my fault. I'm just pointing this out.)
- There's no goals. There's no motivators for players to continue to play. Oh, yeah, sure, you can have better gear. But ultimately, for what? Kill more zombies? PvP? Even when you have the best gear, what are you supposed to do with it? I mean, the zombies ARE infinite, after all... Which leads to my next point:
- There's no interaction with the environment. If you could manipulate somehow, build stuff (think minecraft here), grow your own crops, create barricades, repair houses and whatnot, then players will create their own goals (minecraft again). Societies could form, alliances could grow, bandits would finally have a reason to become bandits after all. Now, THAT's the kind of game I'm looking for!
- Realism. For a game that boasts realism, it's pretty bad. I know the Arma2 engine was chosen because of that, but gameplay-wise it sucks hard. I'm not talking about all the glitches, either, or the fake buildings that you can't enter, or the unplayable dark nights unless you're super-equipped. It's all of it together. The absolute lack of interaction with anything, the weird game rules you have to accept blindly, and on and on... It screams "GAME" in my face and I cannot suspend my disbelief.
THAT SAID,
DayZ is a step in the right direction. I did some ground-breaking things for the genre and I'm sure each iteration will be a little more polished than before. Unfortunately, it's not the game I'm looking for, and I don't believe they can achieve it with the Arma engine. What do you guys think?
[edit] Before anyone points out "it's still in alpha", I believe the core concept of DayZ is flawed, if it wasn't clear enough.

He says his ex-fiancee was a Marine helicopter pilot killed in combat in order to sell the ring from their broken engagement....but she's a civilian and very much alive. The whole opus of bullshit is entirely fiction.

The person who bought it left feedback that she'll "always cherish the story" behind the ring. Uhhh....yeah. It's all lies.

Clueless dad needs help finding a Christmas present for his 12 year old fashionista
|
My 12 year old daughter loves fashion. Well, she loves to shop at Abercrombie/American Eagle/Etc. She has her own personal "style" and is doing pretty good. She said she wants to go to a fashion school for college here in Georgia (but she also wanted to be a vet, princess and horse back rider so, you know, we'll see). That said, I want to encourage her interests. For Christmas I'd like to get her a nice "fashion" related gift.
I've considered taking her to Nordstrom's and getting her a personal fashion assistant but the cost is prohibitive.
I know JCrew has something similar but it is also expensive.
(Edit: The stores are expensive, the shopper programs are free...sorry, I wasn't clear)
I thought about getting her subscriptions to Vogue and/or InStyle but that's not much of a Christmas ("Here kid, have a magazine, Merry Holidays or something.")
What is the best way to teach my daughter "fashion" without breaking the bank? Is there a way I could learn along with her and make it a good father/daughter thing? I get her every other weekend so it needs to fit that schedule. Also we live in Atlanta, north of the city and in walking distance of a decent mall, if that helps.
Apologies if I offend or am asking poor questions. My only knowledge of fashion is that I found "tall" t-shirts on Amazon for cheap this month and got kinda "giggidy" about it.
Edit: Answers so far are books, classes and interesting local designer arts from Etsy. Such wonderful ideas. Questions so far are: is she into clothes or fashion. Well poo. I have no way of telling. She runs hot and cold on her interests. Except for boys. She's hot for boys and romance and drama. Being a dad is hard.
Edit 2: There are so many great answers here! Wow! Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts, kind words and links. I don't know what proper etiquette is in this sub but I felt compelled to respond to everyone that took the time to help me. I have a ton to go on now. If you continue to get ideas please don't hesitate to share. I will post here once I decide what to do! Fortunately I have almost a month. LOL.
Edit 3: Thanks again to everyone. I took some time this morning to review everyone's feedback and thoughts. Ugh. This is all so confusing but I think, based on my non-scientific study, that I'm going to:
1. Get a stack of magazines from the bookstore and let her go through them to find the ones she likes in the comfort of her own home then get her a subscription if she wants one.
2. Get a few of the books that were recommended (I haven't decided which ones but one with drawing and one with just fashion/style)
3. Skip the sewing machine "this" year and see if she's interested next year
4. Look for some opportunities to go to a runway show. Love this idea!
5. Get her a personal shopper (after the holidays) at either or both JCrew and Nordstroms. Hmm...now that I think about it maybe she and a couple of her besties could have a sleep over then after breakfast I could take them over and they could do it together!
6. Look for a class of some sort for us
7. Work on being interested in what she's looking at rather than just facilitating. Wow. That's going to be tough.
Thanks to everyone. You've all been great! Even the folks that got downvoted were providing thoughts that had value. Hey, I'm just a clueless dad who turned to the Reddit hive mind. We can't all agree but it was amazing to see how many of you turned out to help. I am truly touched. I will "try" and come back with an update if anyone is interested.

Separating my money from my organization's money?
|
I am in charge of a small volunteer organization that has been running for over twelve years. We pay our expenses through donations that come directly to me, and up to this point, I've kept our money in a separate personal savings account. Lately as the savings account has grown, I've begun to worry about the organization's money being seized if my house gets foreclosed or because of some other personal liability. I've checked and forming an LLC would blow our budget out of the water.
Is there a low cost way to create legal separation between the organization's money and my own?

I live with my dad, and we're struggling to get by. Just this morning, he told me we could either pay rent, or pay for my medications, but we can't do both. I'm not one to go on the internet and sob and ask for help. I've always been stubborn about showing weakness and I'm the type of Redditor who prefers to strike conversations about common interests than talk about the heavier stuff in my life, but when I resumed working on my application process today, I broke down.
I'm applying for FASFA and looking for scholarships, but I don't know what to do if I can't even get past the college application process. Even if I got fee waivers for the college applications, I don't have a fee waiver to deliver my SAT scores.
What can I do? Are there any options I don't know about?

Moral dilemma: Stray Puppy
|
Tonight my wife and I found and fed a stray puppy on the side of the road. We currently live in a small town in Taiwan that has a huge stray problem. This poor pup is 6 weeks old, very sick and abandoned by his mother. Unfortunately, not only do we travel quite a bit, we already have two puppies that we found whilst traveling on a mountain 6 months ago. The stray has a skin disease, and I wouldn't want to risk it infecting our dogs, but I feel that this excuse is what I am using to justify not owning up to the responsibility of caring for another pup. He's a living, breathing adorable little machine and without our intervention, he will more than likely die. There are very few shelters out here, and the government just kills em. All of our foreigner friends are unable to care for him. Next year, we'll be moving to a smaller apartment and while my wife is in school, I'll be working and studying myself, giving myself barely enough time to care for the other two and barely enough money to keep us afloat. I feel like shit though. The little guy just needs some love. He followed my home and is standing below our window crying. Someone help me out with this one. Do I take him in or do I let him succumb to the streets?

Sequestration and National Health Service Corp Loan Repayment? (Warning: rant)
|
Hello Meddit! I am an internist about to graduate from a fellowship in geriatric/palliative medicine. Though my first love is academic medicine, for family and financial reasons, I will begin my career practicing medicine in a rural community and have protected time to build a geriatric/palliative care consult service or clinic. My future employer seems pleasant and straightforward and I will have no call and a 4 day clinical work week.
The health center has a high HPSA score (>14) and I was told that physicians who have applied for loan repayment have received it in the past. I've recently learned that an 8.6% cut to this program will occur if a budget deal isn't reached by Dec. 31st. ...thus far it looks like sequestration will occur.
Have any docs, NPs/PAs, dentists, etc. applied for this program? What is your opinion on sequestration? Has the NHSC been on the chopping block in the past?
This was going to be my financial saving grace and I was going to escape student loan debt so that I could take a lower paying academic job while being the primary provider in my family. (Before you tell me to specialize in something else and get out of primary care or a primary care specialty, know that I agonized over this decision, but the heart wants what it wants. My heart just loves providing good end of life care for elderly folks. I did well in med school and residency -- this was a choice I made.) With the affordable care act legislation, this is an asinine cut to make. Medical students have few incentives to become primary care physicians -- this was one of the few for those interested in rural medicine. With a worsening PCP shortage, the government wants to cut this? It is probably less than 0.08% of the budget (Number pulled out of my ass -- correct me with the real percentage if you have it.)
Thanks for reading! Really, medicine is great kids!

Career paths involving the future of healthcare/medicine using technology/IT/PCs? (x-post)
|
I'd also like to hear your opinions surrounding career paths aimed to develop the future in medicine and healthcare.
I've recently graduated high school where I took all the natural sciences. I'm 18 and am now taking a year to aimlessly and nervously figure out what I want to do with my life.
I've spent hours looking at different courses being offered. The one that fits most accurately is Biomedical Engineering (MEng). If i'm spot on with that, please let me know! :) If there are any Biomedical Engineers here, please share a day in your life.
So ever since I started taking advanced Biology at high school I've been fascinated by the human body and its capabilities. Though I do enjoy physics and chemistry (in that order), I see them as mere compliments to what I want to work with. On the other hand, I've grown up in a technological era. My PC is one of my most prized possessions. I'm the de facto IT guy in my group of friends. I spend most of my free time reading about (/r/microsoft, /r/IBM, /r/apple, /r/Android etcetc) and spending time with technology.
As IT is evolving it's being used more and more in healthcare. I want to be a part of it. I want to help develop (and probably research) things like Tissue engineering & Regenerative Medicine (3D printed organs), medical imaging, catheters, transmitters, programmable pacemakers/stem cells. I'd also prefer an office job, or developing with a team using computers and tech, going to meetings, etc. than working on cultures in a lab by myself and documenting results every day...just to give a picture of my ideal workplace. In short, I want to work for an innovative technology company.
**TL;DR:** What are some careers paths starting from uni (undergraduate) which will lead to jobs involving human biology and technology? The closest I've found is Biomedical Engineering. I'd rather work with computers and their byproducts than in a lab culturing bacteria.
Thanks guys!

Teaching my toddler alternative language(s) while
learning them on my own as well?

I was wondering if anyone else had experiences teaching a young child another language that you are not fluent in? I'd probably start with German- I've taken it in the past so I'd catch on quicker. I would want to continue on to other languages as well.
My son is turning two soon and we're pretty consistent with his language (English) development. This involves reading to him, word activities, etc. I've been looking at language classes for myself and figured I'd be able to kill two birds with one stone.
Is this a good idea or probably too much to handle?

[Python] Need help getting the pieces to move in a Ludo-esque game.
|
Heya. For my final project in the programming class I'm in I am supposed to create a python version of the board game Ludo(or Sorry, if you're more familiar with that one). The biggest hurdle I've come across yet is defining the function that gets the player's piece to move according to the die roll. We were given the code for the board, it manifests itself as a list. Here's a picture of the board printed:
left are the indices, right is the way it appears during the actual game.
How would I go about programming this? I could obviously do it in a way such as:
if player_pos >= 73 and player_pos <= 76, newpos = player_pos - 1
But that'd obviously be incredibly tedious and incredibly amateur code. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Do you think The Walking Dead is the best horror show to ever hit TV?
|
Really simple question. I'm definitely one to leap and label The Twilight Zone the greatest, but it had SO MUCH Sci-fi affixed that it wasn't consistently horror and therefore probably doesn't qualify for nomination (IMO). So is The Walking Dead the best horror in TV history? If you DON'T feel TWD is the best horror show to hit TV, what is your vote? *Edit* TP probably comes in at second for me.

Last time i played was a very long time ago so i don't remember whats after prime but i know I'm at these quests way too early. Can i get back on track with the story or is this irreversible?

More specifically, campaigns that aren't already on l4dmaps.com. And I'm looking for single player coop campaigns; survival and scavenge aren't much fun in single player.

Beginner question: how do you toss the ball?
|
I've been practicing my service toss until my arm is sore for weeks and I don't feel like I'm making any progress. I've watched the fuzzy yellow balls video. I hold it in my fingers and release it without spin pretty well. But it still goes all over the place.
Searching around on the internet gets me a bunch of different answers, and I have a hard time telling from videos the exact path of players' arms because they're in 2D. where should I start my arm from and what path should it follow until my arm is straight over head?

Windows XP repair issue. USB mouse and keyboard disabled during installation.
|
Hi Techsupport,
I made the decision to repair my windows xp home edition WITH the disc a few days ago. I had no problems up until it is actually installing on the hard drive. What happens is during the driver installation part of the process, something disables my USB mouse and keyboard. Seconds after they are disabled, I get a pop up asking me if I can insert a disc for an audio driver. Obviously I cant click or press enter when prompted. This results in a halt of the installation and wont go any further.
The things I have tried already are going into the BIOS and enabling the legacy 2.0 USB thing. (which was on auto) and switching my mouse from the logitech one I was using to a microsoft USB one I had lying around. I would like to try it out with a PS/2 mouse and keyboard but I cant seem to find any!
I have also been looking around random forums, some people have had this issue also and there have been a few fixes with different cases. One forum mentions changing a txt file but I am not really sure what they mean.
- thats the last point I see at installation, if it helps
Thanks for reading up till here :) Any form of help is appreciated.

Can Reddit help me in determining if my cousins are overstepping their boundaries and what I can do (I'm a disabled young person)?
|
I'm 19 and physically disabled/bound to a wheelchair. I lived with my grandma all of my life and she took care of me daily - she passed in March, and since my adult cousins have moved in to take care of the house and me. I need almost complete assistance in my day to day life, i.e. dressing, bathing, transferring from bed to chair and etc., and transportation. There has recently been a riff between myself and my cousins (who are under the guidance of my uncle who is the trust holder for my grandmother's estate/house). I have a boyfriend and he physically fills in for them when I'm with him, and there's no question that I'm safe with him or his family. They are both treating me as if I were a preteen, saying when I can or can't do something socially and telling me if I can stay with my boyfriend over a weekend.
We have been long-distance dating for 6 months and while that's not long, we feel like we would prosper living together someday. I am currently in talks with disability resources and advocacy agencies in my state to acquire some sort of independent living aid, because I will need to resolve my issues with doing my daily tasks. Doing them on my own someday is a life goal.
Anyway, my question: do my cousins have any legal right to tell me these things? What about my uncle, who is the trustholder for the house in which I live? Cousins and uncle aren't my guardians, I am under my own care (my uncle IS my power of attorney, though). I just know when I reveal to them my plans there will be drama and I want to know what I can say or do to show them I'm serious. I hate being dependent and they should be supportive of me wanting to be able to live alone some day, not stand in the way!
ETA: I wanted to mention my grandmother's trust gives me her house when I turn 25. I'm afraid if I were to make a bold move like this it could be revoked from me, and that's the main issue I'm having with carrying this plan through/confronting my family.

NASL has been terrible for competitive players. And you all should know.
|
Many of you do not know how crazy NASL has been for the players and teams. Deadlines meant **absolutely nothing.** The schedule for games played, as well as who was playing who, was not set until the **NIGHT BEFORE** some teams were supposed to play. Team's rosters were changing way past the deadline was set. Players were allowed to be added to teams roster at ANY TIME, given that player had not played in NASL before.
Even the rules were changing on the fly. HiRez_Bart said loudly and clearly on a stream over a week ago, that multiple snipers were allowed to be used. Some teams used this strategy, and won games. This past weekend the rule was suddenly reversed, mid-game.
The rule is listed here
This information can only be reached through the news section on the website. No contact information was given. It is impossible to find any other information about the tournament (teams, rosters, schedule, etc.) from the website nasl.tv.
While I know Tribes is still in it's early stages of development. HiRez has someone DEDICATED as an e-sports spokesperson. This person REALLY needs to step up their game and commit themselves more. If they are putting in 100% and not accomplishing the things they need to accomplish, then more delegating or hiring needs to occur.
First impressions HiRez. Incredibly important. CSN had 2K+ viewers at first. NASL is bringing in a few hundred. While I know there are plenty of other variables to call in, can't help but be scared! Please get your act together before you ruin a great thing.

I am going to make some weapon replicas from the game, it's up to you all to pick what I make!
|
So I want to challenge myself with a new project, making a prop replica form WOW. The only models I will caution against are those with floating parts as well as moving parts. Other than that I'll do whatever get's upvoted the most, bows, axes, swords, daggers, staves, polearms and anything else you would like to put up to a vote.
If the build goes well I may be able to make multiples but the best replica will be auctioned off for charity (and will cover the small cost of materials) and the others if there are any will be given away.
Edit 1: I like what I see so far! Don't forget to upvote the ones you want made. Otherwise I'll be picking my favorite and not yours! Also please include only one wep per post so I know which one is getting the votes.
I am looking forward to seeing what you all pick! I will chose the winner from the top 3 in a few days.

The Panzer - Krogan Sentinel Build (WARNING - lack of grenades)
|
**I know what you're going to say; Who forgoes grenades? They're one of the best damage dealers in the game!**
First off you don't know my life, I'll do what I want and have fun doing it. With that, lets get moving on *The Panzer* a Krogan Sentinel Tanking Build.
*The build is a 6/6/0/6/6 omitting Lift Grenades in favor of incendiary damage, weapon damage, and durability.*
* **Intro**
This is a build based on me hating Krogan Melee builds. I find them to be a little too repetetive, and no longer have fun using them to get easy points. *I want a challenge dammit!* And so upon resetting him I decided to try and make the most durable character possible and use the Kishock and its wonderful bleed effect to wreck me some bad guys.
* **Tech Armor**
This is fairly basic, taking perks that promote DR and power damage instead of melee or explosion bonuses, though if you use TA as a panic button you can probably swap out the lvl 4 bonus for radius. ***This is meant to be up at all times.***
* **Incinerate**
This is the primary DOT dealer, taking damage/recharge/armor damage allows you to spam it at your enemies (I use it as a panic button when enemies get a bit too close, since the Krogan Heavy Melee takes you across the map). Cast Incinerate on unshielded bosses, and smaller mooks to prime fire explosions and whittle down their health.
* **Passives**
Taking passives that permit greater durability and weapon damage put you in the position to be a walking, grunting death toad.
* **Weapons**
*Kishock Harpoon Gun* - with it's full damage to armor and bleed damage, this gun is perfect for this build to become an Fire and Forget platform.
*Acolyte* - for use on barriers and shields, pop this off until you see red or yellow, then incinterate, and switch to the Kishock to fill the enemy with mini-spears.
* **Gear**
I fell in love with *Explosive Rounds* on the Kishock, which already staggers. The resulting explosion from the harpoon staggers many enemies again, allowing you time to reload incinerate and line up another shot.
*Operative Package* to supplement sniper and tech power damage, as well as tech armor effectiveness.
* **Playstyle**
Like any other kit you need to play this one smart, no charging into crowds, resist your normal Krogan urges! Your job here is to deal as much damage as possible to a target before switching to another one. Focus fire on one enemy until one or two bars of health/armor are left, then switch to the next target. Use the Kishock, Acolyte, and Incinerate to stagger your opponents giving you time to reload, recharge, and fire again. Use the acolyte to take down barriers and shields quickly before switching back to the Kishock, and use Incinerate to keep shields from recharging. Head shots are hilarious but not necessary. Explosive rounds aren't really necessary, but provide a little extra stagger and therefore more time to line up your shots.
*TL;DR; Be careful, take cover, take your time, and sink your shots.*
So there you have it, The Panzer Krogan Tank. Tested on Silver and Gold, and found to be fairly effective in a team, not so much in Solo for me, but I'm not the best solo player.
Suggestions and critique are welcome!

How do you import OE mail from an old XP drive into a new Win 7 box using Outlook 2010?
|
Outlook will not let me specify an external storage folder to import from, and will only do imports from previously installed mail software.
The old XP box is fubar, but the drive is fine; set up as an external.
Also OE has multiple folders, etc that need to come over, etc.

To Materialists who are Compatibilists: Care to Come Down from the Mountain?
|
Hi there,
I am what you'd call a *hard incompatibilist* with respect to free will. I am also a determinist.
Accordingly, this post is directed at materialists (as most atheists are) who are compatibilists, specifically those who accept quantum indeterminacy as a basis for free will. I am prepared to make the argument that indeterminacy in the mind entails dualism (keep reading to get an idea of what I mean), and will openly accuse you of that if you claim to be a strict materialist.
----
To review: The Standard Argument Against Free Will has two parts, as follows:
* First, if determinism is the case, the will is not free. We call this the *Determinism* Objection.
* Second, if indeterminism and real chance exist, our will would not be in our control, we could not be responsible for random actions.
We call this the *Randomness* Objection.
Robert Kane is a philosopher of great relevance here. describes the usual determinism and randomness objections as the ascent and descent of what he calls "Incompatibilism Mountain."
So, by redefining free will to be compatible (as David Hume did), you have successfully completed the ascent. Now, I would like for you to answer the following: What exactly is an compatibilist free will? Care to come down from the Mountain?
----
It is my position that compatibilism (by way of quantum indeterminacy) necessarily entails dualism. To be clear: this includes any two-stage model of free will, such as those posited by the likes of Popper and Dennett. Most notably, I intend to be very critical of Karl Popper, who changed his mind:
>>That is to say, a range of possibilities is brought about by a probabilistic and quantum mechanically characterized set of proposals, as it were - of possibilities brought forward by the brain. On these **there then operates a kind of selective procedure which eliminates those proposals and those possibilities which are not acceptable to the mind.**
And, to be more specific regarding his stance:
>>I have changed my mind on this issue. A choice process may be a selection process, and the selection may be from some repertoire of random events, **without being random in its turn**. This seems to me to offer a promising solution to one of our most vexing problems, and one by downward causation.
Popper stands in contradiction with that emphasized statement, and he does not describe how this selection operator is not random. As such, he severs the connection between body and mind, leaving him with dualism.
That is: if you affirm free will in any meaningful sense (i.e. regarding control and the ability to do otherwise), you are necessarily a dualist.
----
Further, the dualist rejoinder is best thought as follows:
1. A cause must be sufficient to bring about an effect.
2. Quantum indeterminacy suggests that there are effects without a sufficient physical cause.
3. Diemma: By (1) and (2), physicalism leaves us with an explanatory gap.
4. The explanatory gap can be filled by a non-physical mind (or more strongly: it must not be filled by anything physical).
If you are a dualist (which most theists are), then I am not addressing you because then free will is not an immediate problem. It is pushed back a step, and I'll save your critiques for later.
So, compatibilist materialists, do you accept quantum indeterminacy? Also notable to this conversation is discussions surrounding the interpretation of quantum mechanics. I am likewise prepared to argue against the Copenhagen interpretation should that be relevant to your argument.
Best wishes,
Dave

BOARD GAME NIGHT @ X PLANET GAMES
|
I have exciting news. We are happy to announce the return of Board Game Night to X Planet Games. It will be held every Thursday night. This is how it works.
First pick any core board game off of the wall (so no expansions). You bring it up to the counter and say “I want to play it for BGN” (Board Game Night). Every person who is planning to play the game that evening then pays $5 and (here’s the best part!) receives a $5 dollar Gift Card. The Gift Card is redeemable for anything in the store with the exception of BGN.
So if you ever wanted to try a board game before buying it or just wanted to hang out and have a bit fun, BGN is for you!

Any Brooklyn-based male able to help me with this? (One line, technical pro-bono insight/VA work)
|
Any Brooklyn-accented male able to provide me with an audio clip (.wav, .mp3, etc) of the typical Brooklyn-native/based pronunciation of:
**"That one HD DVR works independently on four different TVs at the same time? So everybody's in different rooms, watching their own shows."**
Submissions from several people would be welcome and encouraged. Thanks so much! Dunno what to offer but +1 uppage of the karma from me of every kind and giving soul involved :) Thank you!... really, it's a big help!
**EDIT**; *Lycurgus-117* let me know I should alert those willing to help, what this is for. It is for an audition (you would be providing a reference in how to pronounce the words, and indeed whole statement, in his delivery/ It would NOT be your actual voice in the production/commercial, or indeed his in this audition...just a leg up in him willing to learn how to accomplish this). Auditioner (my close friend) grew up in Las Vegas, is not sound on what a Brooklyn accent legitimately sounds like. Working based in Los Angeles, the usual actor drill, auditioning. Can't give more info than that. Thanks so much in advance if you can help in ANY way! If not... thanks for looking. And have a good rest of your night :)
PS: Will let you know if he got the part. Either way.. you know the help is appreciated. Real karma (and the digital kind) to those willing to help. A million thanks :)

Also, how do I ensure that tablets go to the Desktop version?

Doakes will be a ghost, in exactly the same way we have seen on the show previously.

Kansas City Ent Meet-up this Sunday?
|
Looking to meet more ents in the KCMO/Overland Park/etc. area to chill with, talk philosophical in a judgement-free zone, hug, and explore the universe. Just had a general KC meet-up at the Dark Horse, but I realized in order for everyone to be on the same page trees-wise it needs to be an ent-specific meet-up.
So, anyone down for a trees/dogs-optional meet-up at Jacob Loose Park this Sunday? Parks + dogs + trees is always a fun time. It's going to be chilly, so I'm thinking between 1-2pm when the sun's at its warmest, but I'm flexible (not really, can't do the splits..). Or we could meet up somewhere else if the cold is a problem.

I'm not American, and I used to dismiss comments like "We are truly the greatest nation on this planet" by Americans etc as over-zealous idiotic patriots. I seem to read them more and more online though, and it starts to seriously annoy me.
But do all countries do this on some level, and it just happens that Americans are more visible online? Or is American exceptionalism just as rampant as it seems?

[Request] Smooth 1st person movement
|
Something that I don't know many have noticed is that there's a huge difference between 1st and 3rd person movement speeds. In 3rd person, it's somewhat slower to react when you go one hard direction to the next, while in 1st person it's jarringly fast.
My request is to simply find some middle ground during 1st person that makes it so that it's not quite as stiff of movement. I realize that currently the only way to really alleviate stiff movement is to play with an analog stick (controller), so I don't know how easy it'd be to implement some sort of speed-up/speed-down time for when you move via the keyboard.
A small addition would also be for a bit more headbobbing with both walking and running.

I am a 22 year old broke college student currently living on my own, trying to make a little extra money to pay for my living expenses. I found a guy selling tickets to a concert, so I bought them and flipped them on stubhub.com. Today I recieved an email saying that I have sold fraudulent tickets and am gonna get it taken out of my bank account automatically in 48 hours! I am currently at $-67.00 before they they out the money and am sick to my stomach and don't know what to do at this point. I am losing control of the situation and am really scared. I tried calling stubhub and they just want me to get proof of the tickets being sold from the person I bought them from, and that guy is obviously aware of the situation with the tickets so I doubt I will get a response.

please help, need clothes for children
|
Hey Reddit, looking for some serious assistance. I have 2 boys, 11 and 13. It has been a very rough year financial, and with school getting ready to start I have found that almost all of their clothes barely fit them anymore. I managed to pull together enough money to buy school supplies, but I simply do not have the funds to get them new clothes for school and I am desperate, not wanting them to go in old clothes with holes in them or clothes that don't fit right. Kids can be extremely mean these days and I want to do anything I can to prevent them being made fun of. I'm not asking for any money here, just maybe you have kids with clothes that don't fit anymore that are in good condition and that might fit my boys? I hate going to this sub to break for assistance, but I feel it's my last option. If you feel inclined to help me out, please pm me and I will message you with sizes. Socks, underwear, pants, shirts...Anything will help. I can't really do anything in return, but I assure you that I will donate all of their old clothes that are in good condition to local shelters. Thank you for hearing my plea Reddit and have a good weekend.
Edit: decided to go ahead and add the sizes here. 13 year old: pants 13, shirts 13, socks 8. 12 year old: pants 11, shirt 11, socks 6. Thank you.

Stats: What is it called when you 'correct' for something you shouldn't?
|
I have a basic knowledge of statistics, enough to know about standard deviation, basic hypothesis testing, simple regression, probably high school level.
I know that there is a technique called (probably a better word exists) 'statistical correction'. For example, if you want to compare the effect from elevation (only) on plant growth in the wild, you would try to correct for different amounts of rainfall and sunlight.
But it seems logically obvious that there's instances where statistical correction is enormously wrong.
For example, let's say you are going to see if people who are alcoholics live longer or shorter lives than people who aren't. But you find out: Welp! Your sample of alcoholics have livers that are in quite bad condition! Having a bad liver predisposes you to die earlier! You decide to correct for the current state of the liver when you compare them with non-alcoholics! Doing this you find that alcoholics live as long as non-alcoholics.
Is there a term for this kind of 'incorrect correction'? How do you know if you should or shouldn't? If someone says in their paper that they have "corrected for X", is there a way to verify if this was something they should have done?
Also, trying to squeeze my memory a bit: would the correct way to do this be a multiple regression with the factor you're measuring as the dependent variable, and the others as independent ones, and then you include the variable to correct for as an independent variable?

What are some movies that are very well done as well as entertaining?
|
I've been on a streak of watching the best films ever made. Unfortunately, a good majority of those are boring as hell to watch (i.e. Citizen Kane &#3232;\_&#3232;.) What are some movies that are both critically acclaimed and fun to watch? (i.e. Se7en, There Will Be Blood, Fargo, Resevoir Dogs)

Just got my sampler pack, now I'm wondering which blade to start off with (I'm a noob)
|
I just bought this sample pack, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which one I should try first.
Is there any difference between the blades, and if there is, which is best to start off with if you're a beginner?
Thanks!

[Idea] My vision of a random dungeon.
|
**Random Dungeon (RD)**
*These are just some ideas I had in case blizzard is still brainstorming.*
Opening and Entering the Dungeon
---------------------------------
-RD would be accessible via collecting rare drops off of all four act bosses. Drop rate corresponds to difficulty level.
-For sake of example, you would need to collect 4 pieces of a broken signet.
-Once you have all 4 pieces, you take it to the blacksmith and have him repair the signet. When you do this, a portal will open and it will stay open until everyone leaves the game.
-The portal will take you to level 1 of the RD.
Dungeon Mechanics
-------------------
-Dungeon will go down in floors, the lighting would start as being fairly bright (not as bright as Whimseyshire)
-Each level you will fight mobs that get harder and loot would scale up in level as well.
-Each level you descend will reduce the lighting by 2% until there is zero visibility at lvl 50. (Health globes, casting spells, elites, weapon animations, monk aura, etc. will cause some ambient light)
-Each level has a chance to spawn a merchant. The merchant will give you a discount based on how deep you have progressed. (maybe 1% per level) Merchants also always carry a rare and has a low % chance to carry a legendary/set item for big money.
-There is a small chance for “fun levels” to spawn when going down in levels. These can include things like a “goblin-only level”, “resplendent chest level where the whole floor is covered in fire vents”, “levels where all mobs, even white, have a single affix like knockback or vortex to push and pull you all over the place”, etc.
-Gems have a chance to drop as perfect squares after level 50
-Achievements for reaching certain levels and possible banner unlocks.
-Guaranteed 1m gold prize at level 50
-Guaranteed 10m gold prize at lvl 100
-Final boss at level 100 that has a 1-2% chance to drop a legendary/set or plan/design. (only 1)

Does anyone care to defend Romney's Welfare attack ads as not being a way to appeal to racists?
|
The fact-checkers have already pretty much called out this lie. But the intent and message in the ad is far more offensive than the surface lie. I don't mean to imply those against welfare are racist, but using welfare abuse falsehoods as an appeal to voters is.

**EDIT:** I had to run out for a few, but I will respond to EVERY pic that is posted when I get back in an hour or so.
**EDIT:** i'm back to rating.

DAE think it's a little f'ed up that the country's most powerful person is a white woman?
|
Angrez chale gaye, Sonia chod gaye.
After being ruled by white men for 250 years, where are we today? Khurshid and company claim semi-educated Madamji is the 'best person' in the country. The woman wields more power than anyone in the country and demands slave-like loyalty within her party.
Isn't it a little fucked up that we still find it in us to worship a white woman? She might be Indian now, but Madamji was born and raised in Italy. At her core, she will always be an Italian. And a white woman to boot.
P.S.: Is there any proof of Sonia's citizenship? Is she an Indian citizen or does she retain citizenship to Italy as well?

Does lava have the same grounding effect that solid earth has?
|
This photo]( in [SkyPorn got me to wonder if rock being magma would alter its conductivity. I realize the lightening in this picture is caused by the dust particles; but if lightening were to strike the lava/magma where it is exiting the ground, would it have the same grounding effect as the adjacent, solid earth?

Map change rage,, blah blah
|
I am making a complaint about how Twat changes the map to Upward so often (Just like you wanted em too). She changes it all teh time, even after I sent a ragey PM to the mods and stuff, that got no response except a gif war. Also, her and Fleabeard gag me without warning or explanation. Apparently, twat can't change map without vote, which I think sounds good. But the map still changed. I'm okay with it changing if it gets voted. Sigh..
Btw, I take back what I said about twat not being a fucking whore.

Come on Apple! China iTunes store.
|
Come on Apple, if you are not going to make an app available in China how about not showing it in the iTunes store. I am tired of trying to download apps and going through the process only to get a pop-up saying "not available in China iTunes store".
Why show it in the store at all?
Surely, will all the resources and computer power you have, you could find a way to filter out what apps show in the iTunes store of each respective country!

What I remember from the book is that to hook up to the VR device of the day, one would have to slide a mechanism behind their eye that attaches to the optic nerve.
I don't remember any damn thing else. :( In print in the 1990's time frame.

Hacks for Eating Bad-Tasting, but Nutritious Foods
|
Fellow members of fittit,
What are your best tips for consuming bad-tasting but nutritious foods? I've got 2 to get us started:
-Blend it. Chugging is easier than chewing and swallowing because it takes less time and sometimes the good can outweigh the bad in blendochemistry. (Keyword: sometimes)
-Make it cold. I found this loophole due to some nasty Greek yogurt. (I bought Oikos plain thinking it meant vanilla...it really did mean plain.) Throw in some frozen fruit and keep it on your tongue. Numbing your taste-buds makes them less sensitive to nastiness. (Proof in a roundabout way: gelato vs. ice-cream.)

RallyX on the East coast: anyone know of any?

Hey guys. My friend and I have both been doing autocross for a while with the SCCA, and while I hear about the SCCA holding rallyx events, there never seem to be any in the New Jersey area. I was wondering if you would know of any events in nearby states that we can go to. I'd be willing to drive an hour or 2 for it. Thanks for any help.
