    Question about an Excel formula.

    Sounds like excel decided it knows better than you and the cell is formatted as text. Try changing it to General and see if it works. *edit* To clarify, the formula provided, not C11

    Boxing

    I think Pacquiao's post fight comments that he believes he won were mostly BS posturing for a rematch (and I'm almost certain there will be one, nobody else is going to generate the payday and low risk for Mayweather's last fight), but it does highlight a change I wish was made to both boxing...

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    *edit* removed non-football stuff http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/03/11/nic...-detroit-lions Looks like Fairley is all but gone for the Lions, I didn't really expect him back, nor did I really want him back with his injury history and tendency to get lost in the middle of the game. The last...

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Lions DC is a 3-4 guy, so, speculation was that if Suh (and likely Fairley) left, making them light on DTs, they might try to retool with a Nose Tackle and make the switch. They could actually probably keep Fairley in this scheme, but I'm guessing he goes for a big payday elsewhere and they...

    Desktop Computers

    As a counterpoint, I have this case and I'm not a huge fan. On the positive side - it's quite roomy and cable management is quite easy, it ends up looking quite clean. What I don't like about the case: 1. The motherboard side is completely open - there is nothing to prevent dust from...

    Removing audio

    I don't have an iPhone, so, I don't know of any apps that could do this natively on there, but maybe someone else does. On a PC, I've found a decent way is to use VLC media player:link to guide If you see on his guide where he's in the Video Codec tab about halfway down the page, you would...

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    This sounds like one of those things that will end up costing more to implement than it'll ever recoup in revenue. So, I fully expect it'll be coming soon. GPS already has issues with line of site, I wonder how reliable it will be when every asshole and his brother starts getting jammers and...

    Goat Simulator

    Is it sad that I read this and hoped it was going to be a serious simulation about goats? Like a goat version of SimAnt. Could someone fucking remake SimAnt already?

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Thanks for the advice, I'd say that definitely edges out the EZ3D product. It looks like a fun kit to put together. Also, the aluminum extruder head looks a lot more robust than a lot of the designs I've seen. Reading the reviews on Amazon, it sounds like it's not something you want to move...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    So, these things are getting pretty cheap in a hurry. I'm thinking about picking one up to familiarize myself with the technology and tool around with. I don't want to spend more than around 5-600 dollars since there's a pretty good chance I'll mess around with it for a month or two before it...

    Smartphones

    Anyone know how to stop Hangouts from automatically screwing up pictures I send a MMS in 4.4? I wouldn't mind it making the images smaller and more manageable except for the fact that it sucks at it. Any animated gifs I send out come back as a static image, and static images come back with...

    Smartphones

    A quick Google says the S4 has a micro SIM. Assuming that is true, then yes, it's plug and play. Another possible step is to register your IMEI number with your carrier, however, I tried with T Mobile yesterday and their support guy said it would automatically be added in a week of use. Not...

    Raspberry Pi

    I have one. I initially bought it to turn into a cheap datalogger for a project at work, but got busy with other things and never got around to it. I ended up turning it into an XBMC media server with a version of Raspbmc. This was a while ago, but it sort of felt like on the cusp of being...

    Something For Nothing

    First of all, thanks to you and everyone else who posts about their business on here, it's always an interesting read. I had a couple of probably dumb thoughts, but I figured I'd throw them out anyway. 1. Is it possible to request some sort of exclusivity deal in exchange for offering the...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    I preordered one, according to amazon it should arrive some time before they come out with the next version. It's funny, I was just thinking last month it was surprising some big company didn't rip this off:http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/xb...117a-tvdongle/

    ACL Reconstruction

    I see no chance of it only taking 3 months to rehab unless they've really come up with some crazy new techniques (which maybe they have looking at recent happenings like Peterson although that was still 8 months removed from the injury). When I had it approximately 10 years ago, my leg muscles...

    Gavinrad's Mass Effect 3+ Thread

    I made it, but I think party makeup definitely has a bigger effect than the other factions. I was a Juggernaut, and we had an Awakened Collector, a Turian Ghost, and an EDI bot. The two stealthers really help since if you go down near a Praetorian, anyone trying to revive you is pretty much...

    Gavinrad's Mass Effect 3+ Thread

    Collectors are the ultimate anti-camping race. They spawn a ton of abominations which are husks with a little more health. Several units on the map are always "assuming control"-ed which make them crazier. The abominations become suicide bombers, and their scion units can long range snipe a...

    Gavinrad's Mass Effect 3+ Thread

    I almost didn't give the multiplayer a chance since I was so dissapointed with the ending, however, it's really quite fun, albeit a bit grindy. It's too bad this last expansion hasn't added any new maps. I've only played as a few of the new characters - the Geth Juggernaut is the best tank...

    Google Glass

    I was pretty excited about these things until I saw what they actually looked like. I thought they'd be waaaaay more subtle. I'd feel like a huge asshole walking around wearing them. Either that or a guest on Sprockets.

    Vicodin, Cigarettes, and My Fake Tits - from the diary of the Megan Fox of Ohio

    Wow, that escalated quickly. Makes me sad to think of the day that every quality poster has been outed in some sort of ridiculous scheme (hopefully involving tit pics) and the only drama left is what thread us lurkers post 1,2,3,4,5 into (hopefully still involving tit pics at least).

    Curling

    Very fun sport. I haven't played in a few years as I've been too busy, but I really should get back into it. Not sure if this common or just related to the clubs I played at, but drinking was a relatively prominent part of things. Membership with the club included unlimited free beer (not...

    Just playing devil's advocate, but maybe there is a bridge between the two claims that wouldn't be able to handle the load of the filled trucks? More likely story is Todd sucks though given the history. What I don't understand, why isn't Turbo Trommel guy flying up there with a welder right...

    Laptop Computers

    I'd recommend getting one similar to this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812232002rather than that one. That way you've got any type of hard drive covered. I always end up buying a new one whenever I make it to Microcenter because I always lose the stupid things.

    WDTV/ Roku Streamers

    I'm guessing you've already returned it, but I had this happen to me once after the boxee installed an update. If you hold the power button for around 6 seconds it should open into a service mode that'll allow a factory reset. Might be worth trying to save yourself the hassle. On another...

    quadcopters

    Here's the XP2: I've currently got a cheapo quadcopter on the way. The flip button seems pretty cheesy, but I figure it's probably got to have a pretty good gyro installed to be able to pull it off, so I'm hoping it's relatively stable.

    Must Have Software

    If you've got a Western Digital hard drive in your computer (I think even USB drives), you can get a free version of Acronis. It might be a slightly stripped down or older version but it does the job. http://support.wdc.com/product/downl...l.asp?swid=119

    I wouldn't recommend it for graphic designers or anyone else that needs color accuracy, but I've been using f.lux (http://stereopsis.com/flux/) for several months now and have noticed I've had less trouble sleeping following late night computing. It essentially adjusts the display based upon...

    Textbook Tips and Tricks

    I would usually go to the book store and write down the ISBNs a couple of weeks before the semester started. Then, I'd look for the cheapest book on campusi.com (now apparently called dealoz.com for some reason), which looks pretty similar to the book mole site already mentioned. Since they're...
