In the television show "House," Dr. Lisa Cuddy treats patients in the free clinic even though she's the Dean of Medicine. Do Deans actually do this, or is this just in this show as a plot device so that House can pop in and interrupt her?

How would you phrase a question that ended with a quote, when the quote doesn't contain a question mark? For example, say I wanted to ask who the historical figure was who said the famous quote, "Eureka!" Clearly if I phrased that in the form of a question, I would have to end the sentence with a question mark. But the quote has an exclamation point. How do I reconcile this? I certainly couldn't write something like: Which famous historical figure said the famous quote, "Eureka!"? This can also get confusing with other things as well. Example: Which character on The Matrix said the famous line, "Whoa?" This implies that a character may have said "Whoa?" When in reality the character just said, "Whoa." the fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Oct 5, 2010 |

Is it just me or is the "Make Profile Picture" option gone now in my Profile Pictures gallery in facebook? They went to some new viewing style now, and I used to be able to select a photo and then do "Make Profile Picture." Now that option is gone. What gives?

# ¿ Oct 8, 2010 19:09 |

I don't. I guess what I'm talking about is this: 1. Click on your profile picture. It should take you to your gallery of all of your profile pictures. 2. Click on one of the pictures in that gallery. 3. There used to be an option, when viewing that picture, to "Make profile picture." I don't see that anymore with this new image viewing interface they have.

Nah nah, it may have not been rolled out to you yet. Facebook has this new photo interface. This is what it looks like when I select an individual photo: Click here for the full 1041x934 image. As you can see, the option to "Make profile picture" is now gone!

Grifter posted:What's the best way to set up a tournament with 19 or 20 participants? The number is off for a traditional bracket and that's way too many for something like a round robin. Do a standard bracket, but either have the "best" participant get a bye, or the two "worst" participants play for spot #18. Or if you have 20 participants like you indicated you may, just do a standard bracket. Draw names out of a hat to match up.

Before computers, how did they measure things? I mean, like, let's say you wanted to cut a piece of wood to the length of a foot. You take out a ruler and mark off a foot. But how did the manufacturer of the ruler know that he was making something that was a foot long? How was he so exact? What did he measure against? And if he used something, how was that thing created to be exactly a foot? Who knew they had exactly a foot?

I just wonder what people used for measurements back in the day. I mean, we take for granted that a meter stick is... well... a meter, and that it's also (roughly) perfectly straight. But how did they make perfectly straight things of definite lengths hundreds of years ago? I mean, they BUILT huge structures, we can see them. How did they make the blocks so flat/straight/defined?

jackpot posted:I've just bought an IP/wifi camera for monitoring my house when I'm gone. After some tinkering it's working great - just go to the IP address, login, and I see what it sees. The problem is that the address - http://192.168.something.something - is just the local IP for the camera on my network, which means I can't see it when I'm out of the house. What do I need to look into to put this out publicly so I can see it from anywhere? Have you tried going to a website that tells what your external IP is? http://www.whatismyip.com/

Let's say I live in Siberia and my brother lives in Alaska. I realized that his birthday was yesterday, and his party was yesterday at 8pm. It's 6am now in Siberia the next day. If the plane flight is two hours, can I still make it to his party? This isn't a thought experiment or something where I know the answer, I'm just trying to wrap my head around time zones.

dokmo posted:Modulation, not transposition, is the term. Or colloquially "key change". Octave is not the right term for the amount of modulation -- the first song modulates up one semitone, the second song goes up two semitones. Octave = 12 semitones. That's pretty interesting. Any idea on around when that started or became popular in music?

I'm looking for a book that I saw at the bookstore once. It was a very small book, both in length and size, and it was in the Philosophy section, I'm pretty sure. It was titled something like "134 things that will amaze and astound you!" (or some random number) and it was a bunch of sort of zen or philosophical things you could do in your life, like "ride a bus to nowhere," or "watch an anthill," or "play a made up game with a child by their rules." If anyone could find it, I would be delighted. Thanks. EDIT: Whelp, found it

I'm not sure if this deserves it's own thread: How can I tell the difference between a Korean, a Chinese, and a Japanese person? Are there actual differences in facial features, skin tone, etc? I can understand the difference in languages, at least between Mandarin and Japanese (I don't really remember what Korean sounds like) but often times when I meet someone I try to guess what their country of origin is (just in my head, not confronting them) and with Asians it tends to get more difficult, at least for me.

Not sure where to ask this... I went to see Skrillex live last night (he's a DJ). He had this technology where it basically mapped a live avatar of him behind him on a video screen. It would follow any of his movements to the letter like motion capture technology. It could be whatever he wanted, like a weird tron character, or a robot, or a zombie. It was insanely cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVNWUAaWJmc So what exactly was it?
