if a scale has C# in it, but also has the note a semi-tone below C#, then you will use a B#
In theory, you shouldn't have two forms of the same note in your modal scale, so that note, instead of being a C, becomes a B#
AND since you now have a recent laptop, you can actually use your big-screen tv at 1920x1080. Try doing that with the crappy diy $192 special.
the onboard will run fine at that res for any 2d stuff, games are a different story, but it will be fine with anything else, even hd movies are not a problem. onboard video has come along way, and at any rate, what sort of video do you think a cheap laptop has, will most likely be the same integrated stuff anyways.
i agree, i looked at the survey, and decided not to even bother, cause its just chucked together with no thought or design on how to get the results.
also, it looks like the css is missing from your pages, what even is the GCTIP, is it something real, or just made up for funsies? google gives me nothing but the site linked, and some other blog posts or whatever pointing to the survey.
I work with database analysis, and i can tell you having text fields for input is disaster, everyone has different ideas of how to format their inputs, you see some weird stuff in open text fields. drop down choices are whats needed.
quite an interesting read, thanks.
I know about the limp home mode, but yea, the emissions thing i havent heard much on, i guess i've always thought it was all the same thing with the engine light and errors codes.
I guess its lucky that i have a 1994 car then:-)
i can bridge 2 pins on the ecu plug on mine, and its flashes the dash lights in sequence to give me the codes, its just a matter of looking them up. though im not sure if newer cars are still keeping anything like this available.
Also, generally if your engine light comes on, your car will go into limp home mode, which is a cut back operation that uses default configs and ignores either all or some of the sensors just to enable you to get home, or to a workshop somewhere without the working sensors.
um, busted tie-rod end, come on, how often has this ever happened, it should be picked up when it has play, and even then it will not just fall apart, unless maybe someone smacks into a gutter really hard, but then that is much more likely to bend the tie-rod, or puncture the tyre, or buckle the rim, but then this is back to driver error again.
also, should lack of car maintenance be included as driver error, i think so.
as for failed brakes, its not that hard to wipe alot of speed of a car even without breaks, things called gears and handbrakes and stuff will help, but a properly maintained car shouldnt be having brake failures anyway. I agree with extra safety features taking the responsibility away from the driver
i would think more so that his game is not billards/pool at all, it just happens that he has decided to use a pool table and make robots that drive around on it into another game.
it could actually be a fun thing to add to your pool room, kind of like how kelly pool isnt really pool, but its fun.
So imo he has just found another way to use that felt covered table with holes and balls. i do however disagree with him calling it a version of billards.
"unlike regular billiard matches, players in this version simultaneously rush to pocket their designated balls"
our lounge room (contains 3 comptuers + laptop) is consistently a few degree's warmer then the rest of the house, more so when there is some gaming going on, works nicely in winter...

B# does exist, depending what key the music is in, it can be better to have a B# then a C natural when notating
