Noni posted:I have a similar problem. I'm looking for a white guy who is sort of a mix between between Dolph Lundgren and Paul Dano. He often plays as tough guys, and sometimes wimpy guys. I can't remember if he's an actor or musician or just someone I met once. He might have been in comedies or maybe dramas? I think he has lived in LA before. Sorry, I can't remember his face, but his eyes were definitely colored. I don't know what color, but color was definitely present. Also probably hair (specifically, it's at the top of his head). Come to think of it, he might actually be a woman so leave your options open on gender. Kevin Durand?

I'm dumb and can't work out the proper search terms to find this. There are gifs made where it zooms, rotates slightly and the colours invert. I know there is a description of the angles and zoom % to use somewhere but all I can find are basic things about how to rotate images. Help? I urgently need to be a douche!

If you have a string of ciphertext made from two natural language statements (say if your base message is encoded with a passage from a book), is it possible to attack it with a letter-frequency method or is it just as secure as using a one time pad? I just finished reading the Cryptonomicon and it suggests that Allied one time pads were cracked because the woman drawing the random letters stopped closing her eyes and subconsciously introduced a non-random element into the distribution. I would think that even if you know the distribution of the two text segments and can assume the modulo 26 addition, there are so many potential ways to arrive at any given letter in the final cipher you could do nothing useful with it.

We get Home & Away and Neighbours, and we used to get whatever breakfast show Karl Stefanovic was in on one of the higher-numbered channels. That's about it from across the ditch that I know of. Oh, we had that Outback Jack show a few years ago, so the odd reality show too.

Can you make Chrome shortcuts check for and switch to the existing session rather than create a new window under Windows 8? Basically, I'm after a start-menu shortcut that behaves like the pinned taskbar button. I don't use Win8 myself but I had to do some emergency malware adjustments after someone decided to run this fun exe that came with a font they wanted, and they're now pissy at me because I broke Chrome.

Not a reason for why be was so cool to start with, but he certainly got a lot of attention and development outside the films. And then Disney bought the franchise and are looking at more movies and whoops none of that happened now - your shelf of nerdbooks are just fanfic now.

Nintendo Kid posted:Just an FYI: the books were already "least canon" according to Lucasfilm for the past like 20 years, which basically meant that a movie or even video game officially approved by Lucasfilm could override anything in any of the books at any time. Disney just reiterated the previous Lucasfilm position that if any more official movies came out, poo poo that happens in them could override the books at any time. You have restored a modicum of self respect but severely diminished the schadenfreude of the situation.

Could be that, could be intolerance, could be something else. Try to bump your dietary fibre intake up on non-pasta days (if you get psyllium husks you can poop without needing to wipe) and see if that helps. Asafoetida is often added to bean dishes and is apocryphally meant to reduce gas production but I don't know if/how that works, or if you could find it in Korea.

Line 27 on the Iowa 1040. I have nothing useful to add, but just want to clarify. Are they pinging you for this now because you were overtaxed in 2011, and were issued with a refund of this overpaid tax in the following tax year which the IRS says they didn't know about? e: I'm not from your country, so if this is some weird inter-agency thing I guess I get that.

OctoberBlues posted:Yeah, I got a federal refund in 2012 based on being overtaxed in 2011. The state of Iowa says I didn't report that as income in the year 2012. Which is true, I didn't. Right. We only have a nation-wide tax agency here (NZ), and any refunds aren't counted as income because it's returning money they took rather than money they're giving you. I still think it's weird, but at least it's not as pants-on-head moronic as I first thought.

Does anyone else notice waves of bitter shitposting spread through the forums on occasion? Over the last few days it seems like every second thread I've read has had some sort of pissant dickwaving over really stupid stuff. It'll go on for a few days, drop off and then cycle back into one thread a few weeks later before spreading out across the wider forum. This isn't some meta commentary on the above, but that's certainly the kind of thing I'm talking about.

AKA Pseudonym posted:There a song by Chicago called If You leave Me Now. The opening sounds very much like an old TV theme song. It's just that first horn part, maybe the strings, once the singing starts it's completely different. But the horn part is virtually identical by my memory. It's a show from the late 70s or early 80s I think. I keep thinking it was a medical drama but I'm not sure. photomikey posted:Heard the song, totally know what you're talking about, figured a quick google search would solve it... no, I'm stumped, but I know it was the theme for a 70's TV show.

Turtlicious posted:I work with a lot of people all over the world, and I've noticed a trend with people in India, China, Japan, and countries like that where they'll have their name on their ID, but will (before I even try to use their name,) ask to be called a nickname. It's always a person named like Zhuang Chao who wants to be called "Peter." Is that for my benefit? Is it a coincidence that it's always a biblical name? Do they use these names in everyday life, or only with people who they feel can't pronounce their real name? Does it make them feel "other-ised?" I would ask, but I don't want to get fired for asking personal questions, so I'll lob it up here. I would imagine hearing people mangle your name day in and day out would get a little tiresome.

I've never had that much luck modifying PDFs after they were created - I generally make stuff in Word, the newer versions of which can save directly to PDF without issue. If anything needs changing, i change it in Word and re-save as PDF. * free meaning multiple legit looking websites says it's free, but I'm uncertain where Adobe stands on the matter.
