detachment?



1.42 minutes of Celldweller awesomeness

wasn't this band it was some kind of music you dance to... Don't even know if it was this type of dance music...think it was some other type of dance music but not sure......

You went to a party where French students were dancing without shirts and Blue Stahli was playing?
metalpeter - 11/16/11 16:39
Long story short on that is (e:ladycroft) had I party and the french students would dance with out shirts and someone said something along the lines of they aren't gay that just how french people are.... It is one of those you kinda had to be there thing they weren't bashing them just kinda explaining it... That reminds me of this interesting drink think it was like soda pop and wine think that is what I had...
tinypliny - 11/15/11 20:24
LOL, that is hysterical. Blue Stahli, Celldweller and Pendulum have been my favourites since forever. And I am not even French.
metalpeter - 11/15/11 19:49
Music like this for some reason seems like it is written for gay dance clubs (or french guys HA.... About 5 people on this site might know the reference or maybe just 2 not sure) Then it is also for non gay dance clubs..... Or would that be a Rave and things that glow.... But I don't dance so maybe I don't get it.....
tinypliny - 11/15/11 19:08
Shirtless in a club somewhere? I guess that is the kind of music I like then.
metalpeter - 11/15/11 17:53
Feel like a should be shirtless in a club some where.... HA.... Kinda reminds me of the movie Tron..... Or maybe even a fetish show at Diablo or somewhere?

Where is R installed on Linux?
Category: r statistics
Simple yet frustrating question for those who want to view the code behind the base functions.

whereis R



Turns out R on linux is installed in the following directory structures:
  • /usr/bin/R : this is the executable binary
  • /usr/lib64/R

ls


bin COPYING etc include lib library modules NEWS NEWS.pdf SVN-REVISION
  • /usr/include/R

ls


Rconfig.h Rembedded.h R.h Rinternals.h Rversion.h
Rdefines.h R_ext Rinterface.h Rmath.h S.h
  • /usr/share/R

ls


encodings java library licenses locale make R sh texmf
  • /usr/share/man/man1/R.1.gz : possibly the manual pages

The 20 times tables: 19
Category: goals
I cannot believe just how AWFUL I have become at my 13 through 20 (times 20) tables. Struggling with mental arithmetic is totally unacceptable. It is a sign of mental deterioration that I want to fight against.
  1. Starting with 19
  2. 38
  3. 57
  4. 76
  5. 95
  6. 114
  7. 133
  8. 152
  9. 171
  10. 190 +190
  11. 209
  12. 228
  13. 247
  14. 266
  15. 285
  16. 304
  17. 323
  18. 342

I had this obnoxious 2nd grade teacher who pinched our arms if we didn't know "joggle tables". Joggle tables were an absolutely evil invention where she would just take any table from 13 through 25 and eliminate either x, y or z in:
x * y = z

It was torture. I think I did know all the tables in my sleep by 3rd grade but all the relentless pinching and knuckle whacking made me not like brushing up on them so much. And I guess the result is now, I often struggle with arithmetic in my head and feel dumb generally. I want to end it. Tables are crucial when one hates carrying a phone ;-)
heidi - 11/14/11 23:39
We only learned up to 12 although I've accumulated some 15s and 16s.
tinypliny - 11/14/11 23:18
Hmm.. I often don't have my phone. I am going back to 1st grade arithmetics for a week till I have 13 through 20 burnt into my brain.
heidi - 11/14/11 22:47
This is what my phone is for. Also, I keep the calculator accessory at the top of my programs list in the windows start bubble.

Ctrl-L is for Location
Category: linux
I keep on forgetting this ridiculously easy shortcut.

Ctrl-L is for Location
-- in chrome
-- in Nautilus

Now, where can I find more RAM for my foggy brain?!

Display Full Directory Location in Nautilus
Category: linux
Nautilus in Gnome 3 has this annoying main toolbar with just buttons displaying the current directory you are in. There is no option to switch the display to the complete text version of the location of the directory.

Well, as usual, there is a round-about way.

Type:

Alt+F2


Run:

dconf-editor


In the dconf-editor menu:
Location Bar options are stored under

"org ➜ gnome ➜ nautilus ➜ preferences ➜ CHECK always-use-location-entry"



Whew. I am glad I can see precisely where I am and copy and paste locations into the terminal once more instead of staring clueless at the vague "pretty' buttons. I remember that when Gnome was in version 2.x, they had the option to change the location display format right under the preferences section of Nautilus.

It's somewhat cruel to take away the means to easily change display format options from an application like Nautilus and hide all of it under system configurations ONLY accessible by installing the dconf-editor.

Ugh. What were the Gnome 3 developers thinking??
