Powered Descent posted:Try GIMP. The interface is kind of horrible, but most of the tools will show the pixel coordinates as you move the cursor around the image. Also free and open source and all that jazz. Alternatively, free program ImageJ may achieve what you're looking for if you poke around a bit. The interface might be less lovely than GIMP, though admittedly I've never used it.

I thought the NIH just did stuff like research funding approvals and health advisories and the like. I figured they might have a block in DC or something but no. They have a vast, absolutely beautiful looking campus in Bethesda. Am I an idiot for not knowing they had an actual research hospital? Or that they are so important? I'm American.

ImageJ is used a lot in microscope imaging. I'm not surprised the NIH is involved with it in some way.

Pretty sure all federal medical research funding goes through NIH, not to mention the stuff they do themselves.

In Windows and Linux (and I would assume also Mac) you can just put an FTP address into your file browser and copy stuff to and from it like it's any other folder. Just click the address bar   Type in the address (in this case I just typed ftp://192.168.1.4 because that's an address I sometimes use on my home network). And after you enter your username and password in the pop-up, you can just use it like any other folder.

Is there a way to auto-add subscribed channel uploads to my Watch Later list? Or to add to my watch later list based on tags? (Adding them to a playlist instead will also work, as long as I can just click a button after setting it up, and watch everything my 5 or 6 subscribed dudes uploaded when I get home.

According to polls and your best judgement (not personal preference), who is most likely to win the Republican nomination, the Democrat nomination, and overall? I know there are entire threads for this in D&D but I'm afraid of posting such a simplistic question.  I'm just a European looking for a quick update.

For the noms it's still too early in the race to tell, and which candidate will win depends heavily on who's going against who. The picture gets a lot clearer, generally, around April-May. Just pray it isn't Trump, whatever else may happen.

I would say Clinton and Rubio will be the nominees. The reason I say Rubio is that Trump and Cruz have supporters that overlap in many ways. I think as more candidates drop out, their supporters will more likely flock to Rubio than the other two. I do agree that it is too early to be sure. If you want some very good ongoing analysis of poll numbers, http://fivethirtyeight.com/ is run by a guy named Nate Silver who is a statistician has somewhat of a legendary status in terms of predicting elections: Wikipedia posted:After Silver successfully called the outcomes in 49 of the 50 states in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, he was named one of The World's 100 Most Influential People by Time in 2009.[5]

I have this optimistic view that come voting day Trump is going stand there with a shocked look on his face as he learns the vast silent majority didn't and would never vote for a reality TV star. But you know, an optimist.

Deified Data posted:I am relatively new to SA and what is the point of the Imp Zone? What are its principles? Its ideals? It's like a domesticated version of YCS, which existed to discuss videogames in a context where regular Games posters would feel intensely uncomfortable and leave. For YCS this kind of made sense because SA had one community that thrived in and appreciated strict moderation and a bunch of smaller communities that didn't, but those differences (and the total population of SA) have eroded since to the point where it's basically the same thing as Games but for a different, slightly overlapping in-group.

I guess I can just refresh this page every few weeks. 538 is also prone to pseudoscientific junk because Nate Silver thinks he can be a serious data scientist without publishing his models sometimes. Just a heads up. The best predictor for the election will probably be PredictIt or some similar betting market. This is because the aggregate of forecasts from a large sample is nearly always better than any one individual prediction.

Is there a way to measure how precise a pointing device is? I know people say stuff like "Joysticks require your brain to do calculus, Mouses are only algebra." But I was wondering about what happens when you add in stuff like Mouse Accelerations, Trackballs, and keyboard clits. Is there a way to compare how precise a given device is, or what type of "math" your brain has to do to feel it out? I've switched to trackball, and I used to suck at FPS games, but now, with Mouse Acceleration on max, I can switch from super fast spin around shooting to really precise "1 pixel snipe" shooting and it feels like it's just a breeze. I could be having a confirmation bias though! How do you compare these things?

Cold weather is here and my skin is going all dry and flaky on zones that are exposed to cold when I'm outdoors. Like the backs of my hands and my face, I've been trying to moisturise with vaseline, but I think there's probably something smarter I could be doing? I've got gloves which I'm gonna start wearing but what can I do for my face, I considered a balaclava but I don't wanna scare the poo poo outta people or get the cops called on my rear end. Are there non-threatening face coverings or anything?

You need to try a moisturizer instead of Vaseline, that'll protect your face but it won't moisturize like a cream. Also it makes you look all greasy n poo poo. I just go to CVS and get whatever says "formulated for dry skin" and try for something that specifically says face because those don't seem to be as heavy. I work outside all day in New England winters and it's good enough for me. If yours is really bad just ask your dermatologist and they'll hook you up with something.

Turtlicious posted:Is there a way to compare how precise a given device is I'm not sure if this is what you're asking but precision measurements for pointing devices are given in "DPI," which means "dots per inch." It basically is a description of how many movement "units" are performed when you move the mouse/ball/touchpad/whatever one inch. It's not necessarily dependent on the type of device so much as it is on how sensitive the sensors are. Turtlicious posted:or what type of "math" your brain has to do to feel it out? The term you're probably looking for is "cognitive load" and I'm going to go with it being possible to measure for different pointing device designs, but it probably hasn't been investigated.

I could be having a confirmation bias though! Measure how many hits per headshot attempt you get with them and compare?  What trackball do you use? I've been meaning to try one out myself. Edit: Wikipedia says: quote:There seems to be no conclusive evidence from studies performed to determine which type of pointing device works best for most applications. But does not provide a citation so there's that I guess. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Feb 6, 2016 |

Mak0rz posted:What trackball do you use? I've been meaning to try one out myself. I use the kind where the ball is in the middle, I find my index finger is more precise then my thumb, and I can re-position my hand if I need something super precise. I use the Kensington Orbit, because it's driver software is really rad. The Logitech marble is slightly cheaper, but it's got 4 buttons, I kind of miss having a mouse click, (but not as much to give up a scroll wheel.)  http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Or...trackball+mouse If I were to upgrade from a 30$ version, I'd get the kensington explert, but the huge track ball might take some adjustment, and what I'm using now took me a few days to get used too already.  http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K6...nsington+Expert Trackballs aren't super popular so there's like 2 companies that make them, and a lot of the best designs stopped getting made. With that being said, this one has all the features of a mouse, and the trackball isn't using your thumb, if I don't get the Expert I'll upgrade to this.  http://www.amazon.com/ELECOM-finger...trackball+mouse This one is built like a tank and have plug ins for all sorts of peripherals.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ECHGE3O?psc=1 Turtlicious fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Feb 6, 2016 |

Get a lotion with lanolin if you're not allergic. It basically supplements the natural oils in your skin.

I need to build a Lost and Found database for work that can be accessed on multiple computers by multiple users throughout a building. The old one was made out of Microsoft Access, but it broke and no one knows enough about Access to fix it. Any suggestions on an online program or some way to use Excel to make this? I'm limited to Microsoft Office 2003.

Google Drive runs on a browser so it might work fine. It didn't work on military computers because they stuck with IE 7, but any modern browser can run it. Yeah, I don't think a google form and sheet will be as complete as MS Access, since you can't pull up a form for a specific item* and record the info, but at the worst you can create an entry with a form and edit the spreadsheet directly to note the extra info per item. * this may not be true, you might be able to create a form to populate the picked up/donated fields and maybe use a dropdown menu to edit a specific item. So you'd have an in form and an out form.
