How To Remotely Turn On Computer from LAN and WAN

This is what you were asking me about a few weeks back, Ben.. Unfortunately, he only describes windows scenarios.. although I'm sure we can find an apple version, I think using a windows machine would be easier on the software end. Of course just figuring out the software on the Apple would be more cost effective, if that's what you're looking for.

How To: Rip Blu-ray Discs

Ah... those damn pirates.. what WILL they think of next?

You know, the RIAA and the MPAA should just concede defeat and solely publish digital media and just forget that optical media even existed... with our internet getting faster and cheaper, who really needs to have a physical copy of anything anymore? I mean the companies can keep records of who downloaded what so if you accidently (or purposefully) delete something, you can just download it again.. or better yet, stream it.. and then you can get rid of your cable TV bill alltogether.. I would almost always prefer a digital copy of something over a physical copy. What do you guys think?

So here's an EPIC video of the new Lockheed airship, which uses the same concept as our little dirigible, in that it's only weight-neutral, and needs little stubby wings and movable fans to gain altitude. Looks pretty good, if you ask me. Blobby, but a well-designed thing, all in all.

Futuramma!

So I'm using one 22" monitor to internet, and another to play fallout

So, I've learned quite a bit during my first quarter here at irvine, but I think the most powerful idea I've picked up is Eulers Formula.

I'm sure you've all seen it before. It's

E^(ix) = cos(x) + isin(x)

Which comes from the taylor expansion of E^(x) and then plugging in (ix), and magically the cos(x) expansion appears, and all the terms with i as a multiple are the expansion for sin(x).

Anyway, I didn't think much about it until I got into this diffy Q class. We pretty much ALWAYS use this formula to solve anything that has to do with sin(ax) or cos(ax).
Which got me to thinking that maybe you could use it for anything that has to do with sin's or cos's.

I tried it out, and yes it works for everything, I'll give an example.

If you want to know the derivative of sin(x) . You think of sin(x) as the IMMAGINARY part of E^(ix).

So, the derivative of E^(ix) is i*E^(ix) which, if you substitute back to cos's and sin's you get

d/dx E^(ix) = i* (cos(x) + i*sin(x) ). If you distribute the (i) to both terms, and remember that i^2 = -1 then you get

d/dx E^(ix) = icos(x) - sin(x). Since we wanted to know the IMMAGINARY part of this solution, we take cos(x) to be the d/dx of sin(x), which it is. Notice that if you wanted the REAL part of the solution (which would be the same as wanting to know the d/dx of cos(x) you would have found the real part to be -sin(x) which is the derivative of cos(x).


Anyway, that's just easy shit.

If you remember problems like this (integral) (E^(x) cos(x) ) which is one of those integrals that you have to use integration by parts twice, and then add the original integral to both sides to solve for the integral. It turns out to be MUCH easier using Eulers equation.

replacing cos(x) with E^(ix) in the integral, and remembering that since it's cos(x) we want the REAL part of the final solution that we come up with. we get this

(integral) (E^(x) * E^(ix) )
which we can add the exponents to get
(intelgral) ( E^(i+1)x )

that integral is super easy to do, since E^(whatever) is just E^(whatever) / (whatever)

so we get this for the integral

E^(i+1)x / (i+1)

but that part does not have the immaginary and real portions seperated . so you have to rationalize the denominator by multiplying the top and bottom by the conjugate (i - 1)

doing that. you get this

E^(i + 1)x *(1-i) / 2

distributing in E^(i+1)x to (i - 1) you get this

( E^(i+1)x *i - E^(i+1)x ) / 2

converting all E^(ix) back to (cosx + isinx) you get this

( i( cosx + i sinx ) E^(x) - ( cosx + isinx ) E^(x) ) / 2
then distributing everything and remembering that you only wanted the REAL solutions,

you get this

- (sinx*E^(x) + cosx*E^(x) ) / 2

which is solution to the integral.


I know that looks like a LOT of work, but when I do it on paper it turns out this method saves me alot more time than doing two integration by parts.

also you only have to do one integration and that integral uses only E^(constant * x)
which is super easy to integrate.


ANYWAY lol, sorry to write all this out, but seriously I think it's the coolest shit in the world.
praise be the Eulers formula.

Seriously guys, try this sometime. It really amazes me that this stuff works.

Maf works.

GordonFreeman-small.jpg (image)

I think he's a much more lovable than the increasingly muscly nerd-fantasy that Gordon's become. I suppose he would have gained some muscle over the course of two days, but come on, just putting glasses on Vin Diesel doesn't make him a realistic depiction of a scientist. Not like anyone is all things to everyone, especially someone who spends 12 hours a day in the lab and the rest likely on his computer jacking it to internet porn. I mean seriously, how many women would you expect to see in those top-secret reserach facilities?

So I haven't been sleeping a lot in the past few weeks, and a curious side effect thereof seems to be an increased ability to multitask. So, I've been filling the extra hours and seeming extra ability to attend with hours and hours of back-logged media. Here are some of the things that I've been watching, along with my observations about them:

Burn Notice: It's really good, actually. Especially for a pretty no-name show, it's funny and exciting in that new TV way, where everything comes basically back to status quo but there's a main storyline that develops a tiny bit every episode.

Mad Men: I don't really like it. Like, it's not really that much fun, and it's sort of depressing. I can understand why it's critically acclaimed, but also why people aren't watching it.

The Unit: I caught up with it, and I've kind of become disillusioned with it lately. It suffers from what I like to call Battlestar Galactica Syndrome, where a fun action series with endearing characters and a cool storyline strives to become more, and just ends up getting all morose and preachy, with vague hints at a larger story that turns out to be stupid trite faux-enlightened garbage. Seriously, they should have stuck with the wives being bitches and the dudes kicking ass, rather than dealing with complex issues of life, death and duty.

Flight of the Conchords: This is seriously, seriously awesome. It reminds me of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, in that it would be depressing if it weren't so silly and the dudes weren't so dopey. Run, don't walk, to your nearest Bit Torrent.

Band of Brothers: I'd never watched this until a couple weeks ago. It's actually pretty good, though it once again gets into the BSG syndrome in the last couple episodes, but not nearly as bad.

Californication: Also similar to Always Sunny and Conchords. They should invent a new word to describe these new comedies that are sometimes uncomfortable, rather than overtly funny, and seem to flow easily into laughter rather than forcing you into it. David Duchovny screws everything, which is kind of the main premise, and that can be disturbing sometimes, as I'm not a big fan of the man-ass at the best of times, much less when I'm expecting aliens, ghosts and other supernaturals to pop out of it at any moment.

Psych: Very silly and funny in the same vein as Monk, with a super-sleuth in psychic guise who solves crimes in San Diego. It's really light and fun.

Dexter: If you haven't seen this one, you all really should. The first season is by far the best, if you ask me, but it's all excellent. Plus, the actor who plays the main character married the actor who plays his sister, isn't that messed up? Killer killing killers. Awesome.

Life on Mars: The British one, not the new American lameness. It's pretty good, though I'm only a little ways into it. Plus, there's a sequel, Ashes to Ashes, meaning there's plenty of goodness out there. A neat twist on the police procedural, especially since it's got a British feel to it, which is a nice change.

Fringe: It's very good, actually. I would say this went backwards on the BSG-scale. The first episode or two were ok, then it sucked terribly, and after 6 or 7 episodes it's sheer awesome, x-files style coolness. It really is like the x-files, with the overarching story and cool episodes. JJ Abrams really is well-suited to this kind of show.

I was going to talk in another segment about movies, but that seems a little silly, frankly. You guys all know how to look up movies and such. At any rate, you should really check these out, if you have the time and mindspace.

AlkaCharger [AlkaCharger] - $34.95 : NewDavincis.com, Great Inventions and Products for sale

I've been looking for a better charger, the one I have only does four at a time, and only two AAA at a time. This one does ten each of AA and AAA, six each D and C, and two 9V, all at the same time, in addition to storing them in an attractive box worthy of keeping in my side drawer. That's what I call badass.

Sam, I don't know what happened to your post, but in response, yes it is possible. The best way, of course, is hardware, and for that you have t have a monitor with multiple inputs that supports it. However, if you have a TV tuner you can plug an Xbox or whatever into that, and it'll just show up as a window on your desktop, which is essentially the same thing. I've found that unless you have a really nice tuner, though, it'll show up kind of lame and fuzzy.

So I just found the quickest way to add events too google calendar:

press "q" then just start writing! Google understands "Work tomorrow 7:30p to 10:30p" and adds it in to the correct day and time! Fraking amazing, Google!

The official Mass Effect website says to keep your original saves. Could this mean you keep your same stats if you finished Mass Effect? That would be awesome, other games could have benefited from that cough*final fantasy X and X-2* cough.

Hanna Montana PSP (Sam we should have waited for you)

So I hadn't had too much time to play videogames as of late. Sure I played through all of diddy kong racing, but that took like 3hrs in a week. Yesterday for the first time in weeks I turned on my 360, then I played fallout 3 for 7 hours. Needless to say I missed dinner. I miss videogames.

Making Foil Balloons - Instructions

This is actually looking very feasible.

I am officially and utterly pissed off. I woke up this morning thinking that I was going to walk into Best Buy and buy the last Futurama movie.. I figured I'd check Target first just because it is closer and I can't find it. So I look around some more and I see a poster of all the movies that are going to come out in the near future, and Futurama is on it. 2/24. I thought, "This can't be right.." So I pulled out my trusty G1 and did a quick search. The UK gets it today, WE the mother fucking United States, where the creaters were born and currently live, don't get it until tomorrow. What the fuck kind of dog shit is this? Needless to say I'm looking to other means for procuring said movie, but still, "That dog won't hunt, Monsignor."

I've officially gone from not liking Flight of the Conchords to thinking it's the most incredibly hilarious thing in the world, ever. Like, wow, episode 7 was unbelievable.

We should work this into a project somehow. Looks really cool:

ioBridge | Remote Control and Monitoring Solutions

Yup, not sure what we'd do, but it's cool.

Also, on another note, I think someone gave me speed. Like, I'm not even close to tired, and I'm doing fifty times as much stuff as normal. One thing though: I seem to really want to write until I start writing. Like, I'm bursting with ideas, but when I get started they just melt away. Maybe the solution is to get someone else to write FOR me, someone who doesn't have any ideas, but knows how to write really well. Together we can make a single, awesome writer.

Yamato 1/2000 SDF-1 | CollectionDX

You have no idea the physiological response this caused in me. I felt like I was having a heart attack right in the pleasure center of my brain. If that WANT feeling is caused by particles, I think 95% of my body if composed of them right at this moment. I feel like I'm going to vomit, I am so happy this exists.

Seriously. You guys. Seriously. You have no idea. For years the biggest Macross toy in existence has been the Takatoku 1/3000th SDF-1, which is incredibly awesome but sells routinely for more than a thousand dollars, due to its age and rarity. This one is half again as big, and as it's going to be mass-produced it'll likely be much less expensive. Not that I wouldn't sell a kidney to get my hands on one of these. Seriously. Dudes. Wow.

Academic lecture on the theory of war as conducted in Starcraft - Boing Boing

DUDE! He hasn't changed a bit! like seriously, he was exactly the same in 7th grade! I haven't seen him in years, but he hasn't changed at all! Jesus! He had that same enunciation and the same stilted posture! Wow! Like, he's still the exact same dude, but now he has a forum to talk about Starcraft at length! Wow. Just, wow. I've actually kind of been looking for him for a while, maybe now I'll be able to contact him.

Complete, 180 degree turnaround from my previous opinion. Episode 2 was really, really funny.

I just watched the first episode of their sitcom thing, and I must say I didn't really like it. I guess the sitcom part is ok, but their songs are really a lot funnier in the live versions. They made some slight revisions that make them seem less spontaneous. So yeah, a big meh on the Conchords series for me.

Well me and Fishy, over here, got together today and decided to think of a project to do. And boy did we think of a doozy! We made up some ruff (yes there were dogs there ^^) sketches of what it could look like. We wen't from balloon format, to disc format, and finally settled on a doughnut shape. This tantalized us more than a little. With thoughts of fear and terror raining from above, we set out to investigate this wonderful material called "Mylar". In addition to discovering that Mylar is actually a trade name, we found out that it's quite inexpensive. A 100' roll of 55" long is about $50 plus shipping. It was quick thinking that found us at the local Ralph's looking at birthday balloons in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head. We noticed that the Mylar was bonded together with what looked like heat, not unlike a shrink-wrap machine (For those of you unfamiliar with a shrink-wrap machine: it's basically a heated wire on a lever that comes down on plastic or whatever you want to melt. So it basically seals off the end of whatever it comes in contact with.). After that we were about to head home when we realized that another common object shared this blessed material; emergency blankets! We humped it over to Wallgreens only to be let down. Not only did they not have emergency blankets, I was pretty sure that the worker there thought that Jake was speaking some foreign language. Target? Closed. It was Sunday around 9 o'clock and stores were shutting down all around us. Our one saving grace (and something tells me, not the last time we will have need of their services), 24hr Kmart! So we went over to the 24hr Kmart and not only found emergency blankets at low, low, prices, but we also discovered our integrity. So we walked around a bit, mulling over R/C's and such. We headed home and unwraped this huge rectangle of thin metallic plastic. Now this next part got us quite riled up; Jake's landlady came down and basically kicked me out. Amazing, I know. It's like Jake's not paying rent, and in fact her pre-teen kid. It's not like it was 3 in the morning and we were partying and laughing loudly. Either way, we decided to reconvien at a later date (and place) and go over each of our parts: Jake is to sketch out some ideas of the shape of the aircraft, and I was to experiment with the Mylar and see how to bond it together.

One point I failed to mention was that we were going with an inner ribbed idea with the Mylar around, and scrapped it in favor of a stronger and more durable exoskeleton type of design. Drawings to come.

I think we should make one of these, maybe when our finances are a little better:

IDEO Labs » Rear-Projection TV Turned into a Multi-touch Display

A pretty nice, easy project, especially with access to the new Engineering facilities. I figure we could even turn it on its back, and have a Surface-type device for playing games on. Frankly, it wouldn't really be that useful, but come on, wouldn't that be badass? I wonder if we could hack up a system to play RTS's on it. It would be like a real command center. Just think about the coolness!

I don't know if you guys noticed it, but the blog was malfunctioning this morning. I already fixed it, but I just wanted to inform everyone.

Do they make wireless keyboards without the mouse? Preferably logitech, but cheap is a factor. I want it for my 360. Suggestions?

I don't usually like to dedicate posts to a single person, but fuck it. Ben. Harbor College. It's starting to look like a real college! I should have taken pictures, because seriously, there are three new buildings that are actually in the 21st century! The engineering building actually has awesome equipment! HD projectors in each room, JBL surround sound, 2 3D printers! 2! I don't even have 1! And the bathrooms have motion detectors that turn on lights over the urinals, and motion detecting faucets! Alright I'm all done. Go about your day as normal.

I need some thoughts on Netbooks.. I've typed on the 8.9" that we have at work, and it's a pain, do you think the 10" would be better?

Someone named Qjrate Kenny just emailed to offer me "Splendiferous Transexuals." I imagine him being like the Willy Wonka of quasi-gay porn, with various rooms where he tries out new experiments in transexual porn technology, each with hilarious and unintended consequences to the creepy dudes who are like so into it that they want to tour his factory.

My desk area also....

This is my part of the room, I did some decorating this weekend ;)

So it takes 20 min to send and then another 20 min to receive a response from a martin rover. 40 min to tell the rover to go around a rock. I propose that we take a rocket and load it with rombas, with solar panels for power, and a camera, along with transmission equipment, and just let them lose on mars. It would be awesome, we could deploy like 100 of them and they could roam the planet, also they would "clean" up all the dust on the surface. Just an idea.

So the other day I saw this girl with an amazing ass, and I thought to my self "turn around, let's see what the front looks like." Upon further reflection, I realized I'm just like the pirates on the pirate ride at disney land "show us your larbord side" lol

So I just watched Sex Drive. Very funny, though I kind of wish it were a little more realistic, like Superbad, rather than having the standard 100% happy ending. That little bit of disappointment is what really made Superbad special, in my estimation.

I've always wondered though, why is it that protagonists are so fascinated by condoms in these sex comedies? It happened in the 40 year old virgin, too, and no doubt many more. I can understand that they've never seen a condom before per se, but they stretch it and play with it as though latex is some kind of magical material they've never encountered before. What's up with that?

Elite Beat Agents

I've gotten so used to a full Qwerty (still feels wierd to press all those letters in a row) keyboard, that just using the on-screen keyboard would completely piss me off.. it does have correction and predictive text, but i just don't like it. I didn't like it when the Iphone did it, and I don't like it now. Your thoughts?

"Wouldn't those long Calculus lectures have been easier to sit through if, every time you learned something important, gold light shot out from your body?"

Lmao.. can you imagine that?

You have to wonder if the philosophers of ancient Greece and such had a sense of humor about themselves. Take for example the story of Diogenes bringing Plato a plucked chicken to refute his definition of humanity. I like to think that everyone involved had a good laugh then sat down with thinking caps to revise the definition, but it could very well have been an unpleasant confrontation. What do you guys think?

I understand the need for rules of language, and of course that language changes over time, but it seems counter to the natural evolution of ideas to impose them prematurely. It's as though someone said from On High "Effective immediately, all humans will be tripeds." Never mind that every person who knows how to walk will have to relearn that most basic of skills, and that chaos would ensue. Orders must be followed because the Most High decreed that it be so. Of course, chaos never ensues, and people follow the rules to varying degrees, which once again calls into question the validity of it all. Why should we have arbitrary rules which are too complicated to know intuitively, yet too fluid to allowfor a societal learning curve?

What brought this on is that apparently you're not supposed to put two spaces after a period anymore. Why change it, if it's what people (I.E. me) are used to?

Yeah.. pretty much the geekiest thing I could think of..

I just figured out a way to combine a good reason for getting a "netb***" (oh yeah, Google banned the word "netbook" from its ads and such)! We should set up a security auditing and consulting service for regular people! Think about it, we can get paid for hacking into people's networks and then tell them how they can go about making it more secure. This coupled with my previously unrevieled idea... wait for it... investigation! After we break into their network, we can snoop around for them to see what their significant other, or children are up to! I've been thinking about this for some time, cause I want to justify getting a netb*** and an Air.. and still have my phone.. Any thoughts? I would love some feedback on this, so please leave some comments.

I guess it would be possible if they had people or things supporting them, and then removed.. They don't look like they are under that much strain.. any thoughts? (Via Gizmodo)

We've got a bleeder here! So I just woke up to take a piss, and I looked in the mirrior. As I look up I notice this red strip running down my pecs. Upon closer inspection I realize that its going from my chin all the way down below my nipple. What the fuck. I grab a paper towel and wipe the blood away, and it just keeps comming. I have a small very deep cut on my left pec. Of course at 3 in the morning some one walks into the bathroom and I have to explain what's going on. I ask him for a bandaid he dosent have any. I go back to my room and check my bed, no blood. Well that's a relif. I make a bandaid out of scotch tape and a paper towel, man that's going to hurt when I pull it ouyt of my chest hair tomm. Now, I've been in bed for the past few hours what the fuck cut me, and so deep its not like I poped a pimple or something. Well I suppose that's a mystery that will never be solved.

You know how sometimes when you're watching a movie, you just have to pause it, you're laughing too hard? I just did that, only to find it had been only a minute and a half since my last pause. I have nearly urinated from laughing so hard like five times, and I'm about twenty minutes into the movie.

I hate it when people talk about foreign things and they make them out to be all like sacred and shit, when they're really quite mundane. Like, just because it originates in a foreign country, it's this incredible ancient tradition that we lowly life forms can only hope to accomplish in the next thousand years. Here's a couple examples:

fish printing: What really set this rant off is reading about this dude who's all into the "Ancient Japanese Art" of dipping your fish in ink and making a print of them on paper. Naturally, it has be all in caps. Now I'll admit, it does look pretty badass when you've got a big print of a salmon or something on your wall, looking all fishy. But the thing is, THIS DUDE DIDN'T EVEN CATCH THE FISH! He acts like the fucking print is the point, like it's an art form in and of itself, but that completely discounts the fact that they didn't have photography in the olden days of Feudal Japan. It's like talking about the Ancient Art of Having your Buddy Hold Up Your Fish to Take a Picture. How retarded would that sound?

Calligraphy: Once again, looks badass. Once again, pretty practical. Chinese characters are a fucking bitch to learn. Seriously, it's ridiculous. You use the brushes, you fucking practice a lot, or you're not gonna learn. Especially true in olden days.

"traditional" making of objects: Of course, for certain things, the personal touch really does make a difference. Amish furniture, gourmet food, all that. But when it comes to paper and leather and clothing, I'm gonna come right out and say it: The worst, WORST shit you buy at Wal-Mart is orders of magnitude better than old-timey stuff. I especially like these hippy fucks, supported by Yuppie fucks, who are just so proud of keeping a dead (for a reason) craft alive. You pulp up the wood, and you mash it flat. I think we can figure it out if there's an apocalypse.

Of course, it's especially bad when it comes to Asian countries, which ties into my well-established hate for Vague Asian Spirituality. Still, we can find examples of such douchebaggery in our everyday lives. I just hope to avoid catastrophic high blood pressure long enough to see it gone.

PS: according to FireFox, Douchebaggery is a word. Awesome.

You don't look like Jonah Hill. You look a lot better than Jonah Hill or that Pineapple Express guy. Plus, your beard is nicer and much more manly than either of theirs. Not trying to do the bromance or anything, just the jonah hill thing has kind of been bothering me lately.

So I've been kind of eating a great deal less since I moved out of my Aunt's house, and I have to say, shit tastes MUCH better for some reason. Like, everything is delicious, yet I'm not overeating.
