I was looking through random images on Waffleimages earlier, and found this: It appears to be a game of some sort? Anyone know what this might be? I ran it through tineye and didn't find anything.

Completely random question, so I figure it'd go here. Does anyone in Texas know how Texas State University in San Marcos ranks for computer science as far as state schools go? Would a CS degree from there carry any weight ?

Would a CS degree from there carry any weight ? Better than nothing, but it's a tier-2 state school without a particularly impressive science/math reputation. It's the internships and side work that really help determine your employability when you're fresh out of school with a CS degree, but all things being equal, see above. If you intend to continue on to graduate studies, I'd definitely say avoid. If you're a huge self-driven learner, you'll be okay. If you fall somewhere in between and are looking for maximum likelihood of employment immediately after graduation, roll up I-35 to UT-Austin. Of course, that assumes you can get into UT; if you can, the slight savings in tuition at TxState isn't worth the hit in status. Also, God I hope you're in-state or getting a scholarship. There's no reason to go to TxState if you aren't.

I need to completely uninstall and reinstall Google Chrome, but I don't want to lose all my saved favorites. Other than manually copying every address and saving it somewhere else is there any other way to do this?

I've applied to UT as well, I should have stated earlier that I'm a transfer student and a Texas resident. My GPA is decent but not stellar. I want to move to Austin and know that UT would be a top choice, but I'm looking for a backup in case that does not go through. I'm not fresh out of school and have several years of legit work experience, I'm just looking for a bachelor's degree to capstone my resume and CS is the subject I have the most credits in. For that purpose would Texas State be sufficient if I have experience to put down and I'm confident that I can do and learn poo poo?

Does anyone know of a lightweight image editor that you can use commercially that allows for transparency? It doesn't have to be complicated at all, I really just need a line tool, a fill tool, and a pencil tool for individual pixels and the ability to change the alpha of pixels. Been using GIMP but it's a pain in the rear end for anything small.Liar posted:I need to completely uninstall and reinstall Google Chrome, but I don't want to lose all my saved favorites.

Just copy that file to your desktop, uninstall, reinstall, and put the copy back in that directory. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=501d9a38a1976525&hl=en

Now I want there to be a linguist version of "Drunk History" where a linguist flips through the book, cusses angrily at the error s/he finds and takes a shot. Repeat until fade to black (figuratively and literally). Best new youtube series ever.

TetsuoTW posted:I was totally in the same boat. I really enjoy his writing, so I bought a copy, but I genuinely couldn't finish it because the errors, folk etymologies, and ignorance that it's littered with put me right off. As early as page 14 you get this old chestnut full of crap: "The Eskimos, as is well known, have fifty words for types of snow - though curiously no word for just plain snow." It's a shame, too, because if you can see past the bullshit it really is a good read. nooooooo that is terrible  I'm sorry I even mentioned it, but I am glad that I will never be tempted to read it myself. Unless, as Aphasian suggests, I want to get totally hammered.

It definitely depends on how you want it to sound. I'd recommend: harmonist, distortion, wah. That way, your harmony/octaver is processing a clean signal, instead of dealing with all the tonal insanity that a distorted signal has. Then you distort that sound. Then your wah is altering the tone of the entire signal. This is assuming you are intending to use the wah in its normal way (making the wah-wah-wah-wah sound) and not as an envelope filter.

Re: Tropical mosquito bites Your oozing, swollen red bites probably come from the humid environment in which you get bit. Your mosquito-induced wound becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and, as a result, pus, when enough moisture is present from the air. In drier climates, your wounds do not become as inflamed. This is also why you're supposed to remove bandages to air out any open injury - if there's moisture around open flesh, infection abounds.

Why did grandpa climb the phone pole with bananas in a backpack? He has a debilitating disease. He is slowly losing touch with reality. Yo momma so fat she went on the Subway diet and is now exercising regularly to lose weight. Why doesn't Michael Jackson play with Macaulay Culkin? Because he's dead. What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A horrible boating accident. Have you seen Stevie Wonder's new house? No. Well, it's really nice. So this guy walks into the doctor's and says "Doctor, it hurts when I poke my leg like this." The doctor says "Yes, you've shattered both your kneecaps. You'll never walk again." What does an Eagle and a Mole have in common? They both live underground. Apart from the Eagle. A man walks into a bar. Except it was a metal bar, like a pole. So he got hurt.

Is there a simple site where I can upload a file too large for an email attachment (50mb), get a link for it, and then share the link with a friend? Kind of like waffle images with large files. I know there are sites out there, but I'm looking for a simple one that doesn't have a bunch of ad crap all over it that asks you to sign up for faster transfer speeds and stuff.

Kind of like waffle images with large files. MegaUpload is pretty good for stuff like this. It has a 45-second wait period for non-members, but none of that "only one download at a time, and a 15-minute wait between downloads" poo poo that a lot of others have. IIRC, members have greater speeds, but the free speeds are pretty great. If you plan on using something like this in the long term, I'd sign up with the DropBox instead.

DropBox is excellent and everyone should use it for everything. Want to share a file? Just pop it in the folder DropBox is synced to on your computer, wait for it to upload, right click it and copy the link, then email it. You can even get the link before it's done uploading and email it ahead of time if you don't expect they'll open the email for a while.

What was that site that posted pictures of particularly "fashionable" people, mostly Scandinavians? It was posted here one time and there was one big fat Swedish guy in a suit that attracted a lot of attention. Also some awesomely dressed old ladies and a whoooole bunch of hipsters. Not lookbook. It was one picture per page and had a little blurb to the right of the photo about the person.
