SyncBackFree has been my go-to program for this. It can also check if a file has changed in one folder, and match the older one to the newer one. I'm not sure if it can handle separate PCs, but it's worth a shot.

Can someone help me find an article I read a few years ago? It was about this small town where all the teens dressed like 1950s or 1960s teens, drove classic cars and hung out at a diner. I think it was located in the middle of nowhere USA (not sure about that last part; could have been Russia).

I don't think so. I remember it mentioned an entire town of teens/young adults dressing in that style, not necessarily a subculture across America. Those pictures are neat though, so thank you.

I have a math-type problem, and I don't even know how to phrase the question to ask Google. I have a set of bins in a 2-D histogram, as shown by the gray lines below. What I am trying to do is take shapes (always quadrilaterals) like the red and green ones shown and distribute them into the correct bins of the histogram. To do this I need to figure out the fraction of each colored quadrilateral that falls into each gray rectangle. Which means figuring out the overlap between the two layers. I cannot possibly be the first person to have this problem; surely it is solved somewhere with an algorithm or a subroutine. What do I search for to find it? (Edit: I know exactly the coordinates of the corners of the colored shapes, which means I have access to the equations for the line segments connecting them.) Edit 2: stupid file attachment system doesn't work.

I have lots...and lots of MicroSD cards. I have a couple of decent cases that keep them protected from damage and stuff, but I'm trying to figure out either a label that will work (probably won't due to the size constraints of MicroSD slots) or an alternative I could use to try to keep an idea of what's on what.

If the contents aren't changing, you could just write on them with an appropriate marker (probably should not use any sort of hard-point pen) with pigment that will show up against the black that most microSD cards are.

When you say you move up to 1 to material, you probably meant you move loads weighing up to 1 ton, and thus are operating heavy machinery. I worked in a warehouse loading trucks with loads that weighed no more than 200 pounds at a time by hand and handtruck, but moved up to 80 tons of material a night. At no point was I operating heavy machinery, but over a night's work, I moved lots of tonnage by hand. Two and three man teams, loading 3-4 trucks with 60-80 ton loads, by hand.

Paint markers are the way to go for writing on black, because they do not make thick layers and yet cover. Always let the paint dry at least over night or it will wander onto the contacts. FOr a while I was going with a bunch of tiny USB adaptors I bought on eBay that housed the cards for both ID and reading purposes. I think I bought a batch of 20 of them for like $1.50 each, and they had lots of room to write on with paint markers. The only problem with them is they fall apart over time, when you are constantly loading and unloading them, And they seem to have some hard to define size limitations. SD cards (MicroSD) cards are supposed to have size problems at 2 GB, and at 32 GB, and from what little I can find out, this is supposedly based on the file system only (FAT16, FAT32, exFAT). But IME, the actual host device also jams things up too. I can use, but only really slowly, the 32 GB cards with the USB adaptors. The 8 GB and 2 GB I had no problems with. 64 GB just did not work, independent of the file system. Which makes no sense according to the internet, but there you go.

If you buy something on the vague promise it wil read (Micro)SD cards, you can't count on it supporting cards over 2GB. Even though the card's shape is the same and readers are backwards compatible, the cards aren't. The long and short of it is that if you want to read a Micro SDHC card, you need an SDHC compatible card reader, simple as that. Anyway, I'm no authority on this, but it isn't weird you're experiencing problems and it definitely isn't just based on the filesystem. The only weird thing is that you've got some things working halfassedly where they aren't expected to work at all. Skim through the overview here if you want to know more about the differences between the standards.

Is there a way to deny access to a router? Sometimes the extender I use just loses connection to the router, and to fix it requires rebooting the router. However there is sometimes an issue where a roomie is in the room with the router and gets all pissy cause you disconnect them by resetting it. So what I would do is reboot it through the router settings on my PC. But lately its like whenever that problem happens and I try to access the router settings it just never loads up. I can browse the internet just fine, but I just can't access the router. I've tried accessing it on 2 computers now and I can't get to it. I'm suspecting a roommate has figured out the router was being rebooted remotely and has made it so I can no longer access it remotely.

Depends on the router, it is usually trivially easy to block remote access if you have half a clue as to what you're doing. In most modern routers you can lock out access from non-specified IP addresses, then assign your computer that IP address so only you have remote access to the router. It is kind of a dick move though. You might want to sit down and talk to your roommate and work out both your passive-aggressive tendencies. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Aug 21, 2014 |

Basically the quadrilateral and each bin is a polygon, so you want to calculate the intersection between two polygons and then find the area of the resulting polygon. Look for polygon clipping algorithms (2D graphics requires the ability to clip polygons to a viewport). Both the clipping and the area calculations are probably easier turned into lists of triangles since you just want to add up areas. The fact that your polygons are convex probably simplifies matters.

Are you trying to write a computer program to do this for you? Unless it's for homework, I'd google "polygon intersection library," and see if you can find a library function that'll compute the union of two polygons. Because I'm lazy, and trying to get something done instead of being efficient, I'd calculate the union of the quadrangle and each bin in the (minX..maxX, minY..maxY) set. (Some of these will be zero.) If you are doing this for homework, I kind of think that you'll just have to slog through it, and deal with each edge case separately. I'm not sure that there's a better option.

The only solution is to move out, but I'm currently bound by a lease. But till then I need to know if its possible that someone is intentionally stopping connections to the router so I can bring it up to the superintendent. And it seems to be true, I'm gonna go ask the other people upstairs to write down when the net goes out and pin this one person who I think is doing it cause these problems always come up when he comes home from work.

How many roommates and neighbors are sharing access off that router? Have you considered the possibility that one of your roommates with the router info locked both of you out? Again, I would suggest you just talk to your landlord, and stop with the passive aggressiveness and have a direct conversation. It seems like there is a distinct possibility that neither one of you set out to gently caress each other over.

The fact that you realised it was racist means that you've identified the problem and can work on being less racist in the future. It would depend on what that thing was. That's a pretty surface-level take on it. Just because you think something doesn't mean you believe it or would ever act on those thoughts. People think terrible things all the time. It only matters if they still believe them in the cold light of day, or they do something about them.

If you have no power to harm the majority group or member, then you can only be mean, not racist.

You're expressing the pretty typical conflict between a colloquial definition of racism and an analytically useful (and uncontroversial) one. If you want to call people who are being assholes by arbitrarily discriminating against people based on race, regardless of the harm they do or their power relationship, "racist", go right ahead. Everyone will understand you. If you actually want to understand why racism is a bad thing and how it actually works in our society, "everyone's at least a little bit racist" is not a productive thought.
