is there an easy way to tell os x (mavericks) to not use an external monitor while keeping it plugged in? does yosemite add anything? i.e. in windows 7 i can hit windows+p and say 'disconnect projector' googling around it looks like i might have to buy a program to do it lol that's so dumb

how did NES do fade to black transitions and the reverse of that? it seems like the NES did over enough colors to get darker versions of the current palette especially for a smooth transition

co worker had a serious computer problem. i work in sales as a project manager and do some handshaking implementation poo poo for a business processes management software company. we are also an industry leading mps provider. i had a meeting w a manufacturer today where one of the guys gave us some data on a flash drive. after the meeting one of my coworkers asked where the list was. i told him it was on the drive. he emailed me, and than called me so i could show him where to insert the flash drive into his laptop. about ten min later i get another call, asking me where he could find the list on the flash drive. i get to his office and he is sitting w my computer open. he motions to laptop "where is this on the screen, is it here?" - mouses over network drive "its C" studies screen "where is that" I open C "ok wheres the list now?" I go back and open the flash drive, he kinda looks at it. theres one excel file called "MYCOMPANYNAMELIST" he clicked it himself i was proud

LP0 ON FIRE posted:ah, yeah i think i saw the 2nd one in chip n dale rescue rangers for the most part they make it look smooth because you get used to the palette limitations of the system when you're playing in it, and also many games take the time to make the transition effect stay on screen for a very short time so there's less time to notice that, say, brigth green is fading to black by way of blue and brown.

the palette is not in any convenient order to my knowledge so they would probably have to make a list of what colors turn to what darker ones

LP0 ON FIRE posted:neat a good representation:  for comparison  Atari 2600 128 color palette with an additional depiction of how close you could get the bird sample image to look using the actual hardware (which isn't done for the nes because noone was able to mess around with the various sprites and backgrounds enough to recreate it) and this is the basic 24 bit color test image and 24 bit color chart you see for the palette comparisons:  and just for fun, simulations of how the test parrot could be depicted using the built in color palettes you could switch for regular game boy games on a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance:

for the nes i dont even think a screen could have all the colors used with the combo of a background color, tiles and sprites and i believe tiles and sprites can only use 3 colors plus a transparent

Whenever I visit hotmail.com on my nexus 4 I get blu176.live.com security certificate untrusted. Been doing it for months but I hardly use hotmail so haven't cared but it's really starting to piss me off now. Yes my clock is set to the right time. No I don't have malware.

funnily enough I am also looking for a tablet/notebook hybrid. I wanted for it to be light as a tablet but I kind of wanted to be able to install linux in it. I'm mostly waiting for the next intel x86 processor that is supposed to fit mobile form factor machines better but I'll probably have to have one by next month so I guess I'll have to endure an android.
