Touchpad has gone retarded by spets1, February 09


Anyway touchpad is just acting heaps weird on my Asus EeePc1215B.

This is how it behaves:
Right button works fine. But left button is fucked. To click on something I have to press the button and hold for like 5 seconds.

As well as that but also the tapping the touchpad does not work, it does nothing. It is enabled(tap to click) in the settings and i have played with settings around and nothing seems to be able to fix it.

Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the driver.

This is sorta pissing me off, most of the time i use mouse so it's ok, but sometimes i want to go mobile, like taking a shit or walk around the place, go outside. I want the touchpad to work.


Im running win7 64 bit

If anyonne has any idea thx very much.

Xbox360 RROD by Chewits, February 08


Got the 3 red flashing lights. Gay as fuck. After some googling, its most likely a heating issue. Thing is, I rarely play the xbox for long periods of time, and mainly just play DVDs on it and link to my PC with media center to watch d/led movies lol.

Loaded up Tomb Raider game as I was bored, and after starting a new game, xbox just crashed, froze (black screen). Restarted and for the RROD. Did all the usual unplug let it cool etc and after a few restarts it worked, untill i started a game again.

Googled how to get the "hidden error codes", but for whatever reason mine doesnt seem to show them. Its meant to show 4 digit number, but mine varies from 10-20 digits of all 4 lights flashing. So really dunno.

Anyone had the problem before? Anyone self fix it? My xbox is out of warranty I believe, its about 4 year old. Anyone experience taking one apart, if so, was it difficult easy etc?

Feb 5th, 1/2 no limit day by ynot, February 08


So my last poker session was a bit more delightful than others. When I first entered the caino i was forced to sit down at a table where the largest chip stack some how, was mine. I bought in for 200 and already was leading the table chip wise. How in the F did this happen? No clue. But I did know that this was not the table I wanted to be at to win money. I was forced to play 1 orbit before I was able to move tables and the entire time I would just look at the other tables around me like a penguin outside of a fish market. Once I was finally able to move to the table I wanted I took a good look at the chip stacks and found myself in a familiar situation with my chipstack being one of the lowest at the table and across from me, a older gentlemen with over 1k in his stack. YAHTZEE! My position wasn't the greatest but I am coming off of a 800$ winning night and couldn't be more excited than to see the money around the table.

A few orbits around the table and I don't see much of anything in my hand range. I always go into new tables with a set hand range and use my time to study and do the best I can to get decent hand range read and pick up tendencies on the large stacks.

About 10 hands in to the table I look down at AsAc in the BB. The table to this point, has been raising preflop about 50% of the hands I have sat down for. Nothing too crazy has went on and I haven't really seen anyone showdown their cards yet. 4 people limp to me. I have seen that 154 raises have been called after players have limped and I want to knock down the 4 people who limped into about 2 people to call my bet. I decide to raise to 20$. Everyone folds. I kick myself thinking I should have raised 15. I was out of position and didn't want too many callers with a 15$ bet but I also didn't want everyone to fold to my 20$ bet. BAH! It has been a theme of mine to just sit at these tables for hours folding and watching big stacks increase their stack size while I shove any near by object in my face wondering how people could play so loose and wild.

As my day would continue i would not see hands within my range to play. As a new player I am trying to keep my range pretty tight and legit. My hand range is: Any pocket pair, any suited connector, Any suited ace in position, A,K,- A,Q,- K,Q - J,Q suited - K,J suited and in position. So, pretty legit and obvious. I don't play any gapped cards and try to stay away from trouble hands like A,T - , K,T- Q,T. Depends on how the table goes, I will open this hand range up quite a bit but more or less this is what i play.

A few hours in I find myself looking down at KdKc utg. Not too shabby right? Yeah, that's what I thought too... The position was shitty but I haven't seen a combination of face cards let alone matching ones. My table image at this point is very tight. I know that with an open raise to the pot any smart player would instantly be able to pick up on my hand. I open the pot to 15$, looking back i think this was a bit low. The table has been the same, people have been calling 15$ bets from time to time but i thought a 20$ raise from someone who hasn't raised in forever would show a big red flag even to the most doorknob of players. I get 2 callers including a big stack to my right who loves to call bets like this from position. I move to the left of this big stack earlier in the day to help my chances of playing a potentially better player from position more often. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't like this particular hand. Flop comes JsQs4s, 3 spades FML. To top it off I didn't have the Ks. I made a huge mistake here by betting into this pot. Among the two players left in this hand, one was a weak player with about 60 left in his stack and was just a silly player which i had put him on some pocket pair or Ace anything since i have seen him call with A,5 in a different raised pot OOP. My big stack to the right of me has been playing relatively solid. I have seen him steel a few pots from time to time but never would shove enough in to give bad pot odds. He was... so-so. Thats an oxymoron i know. "A good 1/2 player." But to me, he was. I decided to bet 40$ into this pot. I thought that the short stacked guy would call and the big stack was wise enough to know when to fold a beaten hand. However, the short stack called like i thought he would, in fact he shoved for an addition 20 over mine. But then the big stack shoved for an additional 500 over mine. I thought long and hard about why he would shove. I obviously knew i had to fold but i thought why he would shove. What hand? What could he put me on knowing how tight I have been. I fold my hand to find he had As2s while the bad player just had a pair of queens. The big stack called my pre flop bet with As2s, but thats what i get for him being in position and having a large stack. I know I should have checked the flop but i think going card dead for so long put a hindrance on my decision making. NEVER AGAIN

My night was like this for the most part. I won a few hands here and there but never really caught any string of hands. I had A,A early on, messed it up. got K,K later and messed that up too. I broke even tonight which isn't too bad. I managed to take some small pots here and there but nothing too big. I am continuing to do my best to improve and receive guidance from my coach. I don't mind if i lose hands or buy-in's, I just want to make sure I make the right decisions or close to it.

until next time, I hope you enjoyed this!!!

Sociology and poker by SpasticInk, February 08


Time has come and I have to find a subject for my bachelor paper. I have had some thoughts to incorporate the subject of poker, but have not come up with a proper scientific inquiry. The paper could both be a literature review or an empirical investigation.

Obviously "poker" is a huge subject, and can be studied from many perspectives. My first thoughts were something about the development of poker (on a macro level) - how it's monopolized in country after country (even criminalized), but I'm not sure if that would not lean towards a more economic paper than sociological (even though the economic sphere obviously is of interest). Other than that we have the more psychological interest of gambling and addiction - which is of interest as well (in Sweden internet poker has become the biggest gambling problem for example).

Not sure what I am asking you guys, but if anyone has any input here, just write it. I'll appreciate any ideas or thoughts.

Ordeal of the Nerd by Night2o1, February 07


I am forming an idea for a little sort of article/essay.. and its theme is the Social Ordeal of The Nerd. The past couple of weeks have been an interesting time for me, a long-time inadvertent super nerd, and I've been learning quite a bit about what it takes to evolve one's social skills. That's for later though.

My presentation went really, really well. The turn out at the meeting wasn't very big but it isn't a problem since the whole 'recruitment event/bring a friend event' is a prototype. I'm going to record a final youtube version in the next day or so and I'll drop a link so you guys can enjoy the finished product and offer some more perspectives.

Onward!

Short Delay-update by thewh00sel, February 07


Been really busy, and a lot of unexpected annoying time-consuming stuff has come up this year. Brief update is that I only played 150 hours so far this year. Which is well below where I wanted to be at (225hrs), but I played over 50 hours this month already so hopefully I can play more...unlikely though.

Averaging about $110 an hour, mostly thanks to one or two good days this month; and I just got shit on today so that sucked/affected it a bit.

BLOG AT YOU TOMORROW (in another month)

ps: I haven't played any online at all.

pps: If I can get my monthly hours played to average 150/month (750 hours total) I'll need to average $133 per hour to hit 100k profit. Tough road ahead.

Pitcher of the week!!! by El_Tanque, February 06


http://www.soonerathletic.org/article/1721.php

http://www.nwosu.edu/thomas-wins-opening-sac-pitcher-of-the-week-award

Woo hoo!

Won the award the first week of the season 2 years ago, then 2 weeks later blew out my arm and took 2 years off to rehab. Feels great to be back!!!

Had a no-hitter going through 7 in a 7 inning game, first guy in the 7th walked, next guy got a basehit in the hole created by the 1st baseman holding the runner on. Dammit! I've been kicking myself for that since saturday.

70:22 strike to ball ratio, 13 K's...God I've missed this feeling. So glad to be playing baseball again!!!

Lost biggest pot in poker so far. by Tensai176, February 06


So I occasionally play in the local 1/2 game and if it gets short handed we start to play dealer's choice, which can include Crazy Pineapple, NL Omaha with ocean cards etc.

So anyway, the game is pretty soft, I lost my first bi stacking off QQ which was probably a mistake, but I got it back by tripling up with AA. so I have around $450 (I'm in for $400), and I continue to play semi-tight, playing position, taking down pots and I'm winning more than I'm losing. Then this hand, I have AdKc2s in crazy pineapple post-flop.

Crazy Pineapple is a poker game where you're dealt three cards and you discard one, either pre-flop or post-flop. This time, it was post-flop. I'm in the sb, and it limps around to me, I complete, and bb checks. 4 way to the flop of; AsAhKh =DDD; I discard my 2s obviously, and lead for $8.

I get a call, and then the BU raises $25. I think now that he has probably a big ace, we are $300 effective, and if I put in a raise, I'm pretty sure he's able to fold. Also, I want to get the other guy in the pot as well so I flat. bb folds, and the turn comes the 8h. If he raised with an FD which I think is likely, even though I probably will never do it, he'd bet his flush. I think he's betting his entire range on the turn anyway, so I check probably thinking of check raising.

Surprisingly, he checks back, and the river is the 8d, so the board reads: AsAhKh8h8d.

My thoughts: very very unlikely he raised me on the flop with 88 since he's pretty tight. If i Value bet more than 1/3 of pot, he's folding A. Flush B. KK's full and only calling with an A. So if his calling range is only an A, then I figure out how much he's calling with an A.

So I shoved all-in, $300 into $50 or so. Got the call (he had A10) and now I'm up to ~$700 =D.

We start to play NL omaha, and I banked another ~$200 value betting QQ's full and another $200 v-betting JJ's full. I am really really bad at Omaha, and I'm pretty bad at NLHE as well. I'll explain my reasoning but I'm not defending what I did, I probably played really bad and the justification was all wrong. With that in mind we come to this hand. I have ~$1,200 and villian has about ~$520

CO limps, BU limps and I look down at AhKh2h5s, I complete, and bb checks.

Flop comes Ks8c4d.

I lead around $8 and bb raises me $35 folds to me.

Thought process: Villian is a really FPS player that talks a lot about poker even though he isn't very good. He's prone to lecturing people how to play their hands even though he doesn't abide by the same advice. He justifies all his plays with pseudo-poker knowledge and when he sucks out, he gloats talking about how he could do nothing there.

It's pretty dry, I'm thinking sets are in his range, unlikely KK cause I have a K and he's likely to raise pf so value range is like, all two pair 88 and 44. I think I can get him to fold all two pair and even 44 and maybe 88 if I rep KK.

Reason is I overbet pots on the flop/turn all night with top sets/boats and I've shown these hands. I have literally never bluffed in this game. This was my reasoning when I re-raised $105. I told myself that I had KK42 in my hand and tried really hard to believe it.

He tanked for a bit and made the call. Turn was a 4 which pairs the board and I think it's a semi-good card for me. He could have quads but if he has 88 or K4 or 84 which was his likely hand by calling my raise, he now beats no value-range, since 44 now has quads if he had 88; he's beating K4 or 84 but I think he knows I wouldn't raise those hands on the flop and if he had K4 or 84, then he's losing to KK and 88. so I bet around ~150 and he has around ~250 left. I think to myself at this point, if he calls, I'm shutting down. He tanks a bit and calls.

River is a 5d. Board: K8445 I should give up by this point. I see he has around ~250 left and the pot is around 500. I don't know what compelled me to shove in the last 250, but convincing myself that I had KK, and there was no way I would be bluffing because I never bluff, and he should know this, I shoved in the last 250.

I get snap called.

The players out of the hand were asking the villian if he had Quads, because they all knew I had KK's full which was nice I guess, at least some people thought I had KK's full.

He showed KQ88; for 8's full.

And then he gloated.

Saying how he had too good of a hand to give up or something like that. I still think he had a bluff-catcher but Kudos to him or w/e. I'm still a micro-stakes player so losing a $1,000 pot is a big milestone for me. I'm not sad, I'm not angry or frustrated, I'm just a little dazed, like did that just happen? I'll be back at that game with a new experience.

It was funny as I had thought me losing such a big pot would result from having the nuts against a super draw, or set-over-set, or getting sucked out really badly, but it came to me trying to bluff a guy off the third nuts. Which is better I guess, since I have a story to tell people now.

It was my fault, I said nice-hand, felt the tilt coming so I played a few more hands and then told them I was done for the night. I still ended up being up ~$390 and I told myself never try to bluff somebody off of a full house.

Floating Arithmetic by StArCuE, February 06


Alright I'm having trouble on this hw problem and would appreciate anyone who could help me out.

Problem A. The values of two float variables, x and y, are saved in IEEE single precision floating point format as below. Calculate the value of z in IEEE single precision floating point format if z = x + y.

x = 0 11100010 00101100000000000000000
y = 1 11100000 11010000000000000000000

I'm assuming I should start by calculating the 32-bit reps of x and y but I'm unsure what to do next. Any advice or step by step help would be appreciated. Thanks Chris.

Brazil trip - tips? by Joe, February 05


Hello guys!

Next week I and my gf are going to Brazil for a 3-weeks holiday. I know quite a few people from LP live there so I am looking for any tips you can give me

Our plan is aproximately this:
Feb 11 we arrive at Rio de Janeiro. We will spend 3 nights there (in a hotel in Santa Teresa) and see the major tourist attractions (tips welcome).

Then on Feb 14 we will probably leave Rio and we would like to spend 3-4 days on some rather quiet beach near a smaller town/village, but not too far from Rio (say within 300km) - tips appreciated.

Then on the 18th we would like to come back to Rio for the festival, probably spend like 2-3 days there. We dont have accommodation for these days yet, so it might be a bit problematic, maybe we will have to stay somewhere near Rio.

After that, probably on the 20th or 21st, we plan on going to the Iguacu waterfalls. There are 2 options we are thinking of - either just flying there, spending a day or 2, and flying back. Or, renting a car and making a 7-8 day roundtrip. Not sure if there is enough interesting places on the way though.

Then we have some 5-10 days left. We dont have exact plans for this period yet, probably we will mostly go north from Rio and spend some time on the beaches + if there are some interesting nature parks or something we would visit those. We are leaving on March 4.

So any tips are welcome, mostly on what to see, what are the best beaches, where to go partying, etc. but also if you have any accommodation or traveling tips, those would come in handy too. Also, if anyone wants to meet for a drink or something, just let me know

One more question - I would like to see a good football match at Maracana, any recommendation?

Thanks for tips, Joe.

Squat by GoTuNk, February 04


BW

First, last week I won a bw tourney which awarded me 80bb. LOL I didn't won I meant 2nd place. fuck sziky

http://defiler.ru/tourney/?t=159

Moving on to interesting stuff.

Smolov delivers. I gained 3-4 pounds, and added 20kg to my raw 1 rep max. Fucking amazing. And it better delivered, cause it was the hardest program I've ever done in a gym. Squatting 142.5x3x10, after doing 135x5x7 the day before was torture, but it turned out totally worth it.



It's amazing to squat raw the same I did at the competition wearing a belt and wraps,
and also failed the first 2 lifts.

Can't wait to start the 2nd part of the program and get those 200kg (belts and wraps add 20kg to my 1rm, so I need 10 more kg of real gains).
This will happen in 7 weeks from now.

Yesterday decided to celebrate with my friends after 3 weeks sober and drink the shit out of everything, which resulted in almost getting alcohol poisoning

Puked twice upon wakeup (5pm) and had a bit of fever, but I feel a lot better now (1am). Still no hunger though, and I'm kinda scared to eat just yet.

Poker been going decent, in terms of the quality of my game and the small volume I decided to put in for january/february, but I'm running like 10bi under ev so no money yet.
