PrintLately I have met some of you in real life (at the game) and you all seem pretty cool. It is weird meeting someone from the internet though....dontcha think? It seems strange to hear someone say "Hey 92" when my real name is in fact Barney. I haven't worried too much about a real weirdo rolling up on me but that could also happen. Additionally, people say i look like a celebrity ....usually a weird one like Craig T Nelson or Richard Lewis
I am not as grey but the hairline is correct

More riddles!
You have two ropes, each of which takes one hour to burn completely. Both of these ropes are nonhomogeneous in thickness meaning that they don’t burn at a consistent rate throughout (for example 1/4 of the rope might take 50 minutes to burn but the rest will only take 10. You do not know how it will burn beforehand). Using these nonhomogeneous ropes and a lighter, time 45 minutes.
I have done this one before but it's been awhile, thank you for sticking this in my brain because now I will not relax until I figure this out.
It’s funny, the really good riddles don’t necessarily stick in your brain even if you’ve done them in the past…

If you leave one rope alone to guage the size of the other, and then light the other one from both ends, when it ends up being a quarter the size of the original that should be 45 minutes?

okay take the first rope, light both ends this will take 30 minutes to burn no matter what. Then take the other rope, fold it in half.
As soon as the first rope is done burning, you light the frayed ends of the looped rope as well as the looped end. This should take 15 minutes to burn giving you your time of 45 minutes.

Never heard this one before.
Light the first rope at both ends – this takes you to 30 minutes when it finishes.
I would say cut the next rope in half and light both end of the second rope, but this wont work, so if it’s the answer it is wrong.
If possible you could slice the rope down the middle, i.e. length remains the same.
then take on of the ropes and light it at both ends this would give you another 15 minutes and fulfill the riddle – but is slicing the rope in half possible??

should be
take “one” of the (cut in half) ropes light at both ends = 15 minutes.

that's kind of what my scenario did, where I looped the rope, lit both loose ends and lit the end of the loop. It seems like it would work
but it’s tricky to figure out, and now that I’m having some wine to drink…

nope. Mine was close
take both ropes light both ends of one, and only one end of the other. The rope with both ends lit will burn in 30 minutes. As soon as it is done burning, light the other end of the rope that only had one end burning. Since you know the first one burned for thirty minutes, lighting the other end of the other rope will half the time the other rope has to burn, taking it from 30 minutes left, to 15.

that's it and is the easy sloution
slicing one in half longwise would also work – maybe, unless half thickness gives a non linear result

A boat is floating in a small lake of water. The water surface is initially at height h, as measured relative to the lake’s floor. There is a heavy anchor sitting on the boat’s deck. A person standing on deck picks up the anchor and throws it overboard (it’s not attached to the boat, oops). The anchor then sinks to the bottom of the lake, and the water surface height becomes h’.
Is the new height of the lake higher, lower or the same as the old height of the lake?
what is the density of the anchor relative to water’s density
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
you can have a “heavy” amount of a low density substance
c’mon yourself
isnt the whole point of a riddle to think about a problem in a way that might not be obvious?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I dont feel like posing one
dont ask questions if you dont like nitpickers
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
it's less, because the boat displaces more water than the anchor itself. If you drop the anchor off the boat, the boat displaces less water than it did before, causing the height of the water relative to the lake bottom to drop.

A boat floating with an anchor in it displace water equal to its total weight
an object submerged displaces water equal to it’s volume. A heavy anchor will displace more water with its weight than its volume. The water level goes down.

my best guess is that massive urban riots cause blackouts
no power means ice cream would melt meaning that people will eat the ice cream so it doesn’t go to waste

The gynocratic rulers of a country decide that there are too many baby boys being born. The rulers decide to enforce a new law concerning child birth on their overly prosperous subjects. Each family is permitted to have as many children as they want, provided that they only produce baby girls. Once a baby boy enters the family, the family is no longer permitted to have children. Assuming each law abiding family wants to have as many children as possible, what will happen to the ratio of boys to girls, and why?
(I don’t know the answer to this one, although I have a guess and a good argument)

I think we assume that there are no abortions
and that babies have an equal chance of being male or female.
then the ratio remains unchanged.
while you negate the instances of multiple boys in a single family, you also negate all instances of girls born to families that already have a boy. The net result is a reduced number of children, but the same boy to girl ration

Grammar Nazis only
English grammar used to be taught as an analytical subject, but today such rigorous treatment is rarely seen in the States. Consequently, most modernized Americans are unable to discern the differences between the following four sentences:
Only birds read poetry.
Birds only read poetry.
Birds only read poetry. (two different interpretations for this sentence exist)
Birds read only poetry.
What are the differences?
If I could draw circles for this, it would be easy to explain
1. The only things in the world that read poetry are birds.
2. The only thing that birds do with their time is read poetry.
3. Birds are unable to read anything that is not poetry
4. The only thing that birds read is poetry.

I'm on doggie partrol.
We needed to rush our dog into the emergency vet last night. The vet needs us to take her in to our normal (much more advanced) vet Monday morning, but to watch over her for the rest of the weekend for any problematic symptoms. #1 symptom to watch for: If she’s having trouble breathing.
It’s a long weekend, especially with limited sleep. I’m not sure who’s feeling worse at this point, the dog, or the wife.
On the other hand, there’s plenty of BE time while doing doggie monitoring. I’m not going anywhere.
Older.
She’d been doing really well, and just out of nowhere. Always on a weekend too, it’s like she knows the vet is closed. At this point, we’re just dreading the morning call to the vet.
Yep, that's her.
American Bulldog, just an amazing dog. After she got sick, then better, a year ago, she started going for walks and now the whole neighborhood knows her. I swear she’s the Queen of this neighborhood now.

On the holiday known as the Day of the Dead, a Brazilian bricklayer walked into his own funeral.
The sight of Ademir Jorge Goncalves alive shocked relatives, some of whom tried to jump out of the windows of the funeral home in southern Brazil.
“In my 10 years in this business, I have never witnessed a scene like this,” said Natanael Honorato, manager of the funeral home in the Parana state.
On November 1, some family members and friends had identified the victim of a car crash as the 59-year-old Goncalves.They scheduled his funeral for the following day, Dia de Finados, a holiday when Brazilians remember loved ones who have died.
What Goncalves’ family did not know is that he had spent the night drinking at a bar near the site of the crash, but he was not the victim.
When the bricklayer got word of his funeral, he showed up at the Funeraria Rainha das Colinas funeral home Monday morning.

There’s a perfectly cylindrical log mounted horizontally on frictionless pins at each end. It is in a container, set up so that, looking down the length of the log, on one side is air and the other is water. There are walls to keep the air and water separated, and these walls meet the log lengthwise with frictionless seals. Given that a log floats in water, would the log start spinning? Why or why not? See diagram for cross-sectional view.
As long as there is no stream in the water or the air, no
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
ah, but a log will float to the top of the water without a stream of water under it
why wouldn’t the upward force of the water on the right half be enough to torque the log into rotating?

yeah, that sounds basically the same as the one I came up with
I would fold one rope in half and start each end on fire
at the same time I would light one end of the 2nd rope
when the first rope is done burning, that’s 30 minutes
right then I light the other end of the 2nd rope because we know it only has another 30 minutes of burn time and by lighting the other end that time is halved.
no need to fold in half, light both ends = 30 minutes
light the 2nd at the same time, but only one end, that will use up 30 minutes when the other is finished light the other side = 15 more minutes!!!!!

Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it
Yep. Any occasional good point would make a great comment in Dave's recap.
Beyond that, it’s just repetitive.
This would be optimal
but not everyone is going to think that way, so it’s the individual poster’s deal as far as non-spam posting. But it is annoying as all get out when you have someone who is basically acting like he’s a co-blogger here rather than a commenter who is engaged in the normal range of conversation and posts to add value. If you want to blog and think you’re writing is good enough to do so, start your own blog – it isn’t rocket science.

I don't disagree, though I find to some extent, anyone besides Dave who posts game recaps are forgetting one fact...
..that there are a lot of folks here who can write great game recaps, but know that this is Dave’s site, and instead simply comment inside his recap. It’s a conscious decision.
There could easily be 20 recaps after every game. But most folks have self-control and wait for Dave.
I’m worried if I say anything further, it would borderline on personal attack, which isn’t actually my goal.

I like the recaps from people who see the Blazers on the road
or people who are in town just to see the Blazers. But that’s about it.
I like in stadium recaps
with personal stuff…those are great usually

Yep. An in-person recap from a road game is definitely a different animal.
Still pretty rare here, too.
Timmay, are you still here?
I have question. I also get a lot of the buffering issues with LPBB that others are complaining about.
My system details are as follows;
Processor: Intel Core 2 duo Cpu T5800
@ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz
Memory: 4.00GB
System: 64 bit Operating System
Shouldn’t that be enough to run LPBB without capacity issues?

You can use a site to check it out
Go here, and run the test. It should tell you your closest server automatically.
At the end, let me know your download speed, upload speed, and ping time.

The server seems to be in Wichita.

"And in the end
The love you take

I take it Wichita is a fair distance away from you?
Your upload and download speeds should be fine. League pass specifically says you just need “broadband internet access” according to their support site, so I have to imagine anything faster that 1.5Mb (T1 speed) should be fine.
At first glance, I think your ping time is hurting you. Ping time is how long it takes for your computer to send data to the server, and get something in return. For perspective, my DSL ping time is 32ms. The longer your ping time, the easier it is to be out of sync from a real-time service. For example, at 244ms lag, real-time online gaming would be very hard.
Hrm. Can you manually try a server physically located closer to you, and see what numbers you get? No need to say where that server is, just the numbers are fine.
I’m going to read up on alltel’s internet service while you’re doing that.
I ran speed test for funsies
28Mbps down 8Mbps up…….smokin’
"And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make." -The Beatles
Comcast right?
Great download speeds, and I won’t go into their limitations (no need to argue today!)
For further perspective, what’s your ping time?
Well, I'm confused.
This site thinks I’m 50 miles away from Wichita and 900 miles from Phoenix. The reverse is closer to the truth. The numbers are even lower when I switch the server to Phoenix, except the ping rate which was 4043ms
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
Yowch.
Alltel is a satellite/cell broadband right? Long explanation forthcoming.
What’s probably happening is that your computer is connecting to a satellite, which is then bouncing the signal over to Alltel’s routers, which apparently happen to be Wichita. By the time it does all that and gets back to you, there’s a bunch of lag (ping time) in the signal.
The bandwidth test site chooses your closest server based on the routers for your ISP. For example, my routers are a mile or so away, so I get a close server. 92’s are probably similar for Comcast. But for a satellite service, they can be in another state.
This ping-time problem tends to manifest itself with sync problems while online gaming, using work VPN’s, and doing live streaming services.
If you’re using a laptop, do you have any local free wifi signals you can test with for a night? Even a coffee shop or something? You’ll want to use the bandwidth site above to see if the wifi’s download is greater than 1.5Mb before testing. Otherwise, of course, the wifi bandwidth might not be strong enough for LP BB.
I’d just like to eliminate Alltel for a night, and make sure your machine isn’t the cause of the stutter.
I’ll take a look around for any ways to mitigate this problem over Alltel, if the doggie feels ok. Fair warning… I don’t know if any solution will exist.
I can try to tap into one of the neighbors
unsecured networks. I don’t like doing it t but I will.

Well, I can't tap into a neighbors

"Aneurysm".

You may want to try contacting both sides.
Contact Alltel, tell them what you’re trying to do and what’s happening, and ask why this problem might be happening.
At the same time, contact NBA LP BB, give them the upload/download/ping numbers you gave me, and ask them why the site is stuttering.
I have a feeling they’ll blame each other and say it’s not their fault. But it wouldn’t hurt to check in. Perhaps others have contacted with similar problems and a solution has been found.
I specifically bring this up because
there are some comments online that, even with the lag, Alltel can handle gaming and streaming ok. There are still variables involved (perhaps those users in a different area, perhaps the LP BB streaming app causes more problems than straight flash video would). But it can’t hurt to ask.
Yeah, when we got the card
we were assured that people with the same one had no problems gaming. Thanks for all your help.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
No problem. Let me know if you find out anything.
Your processor, memory etc should be fine. But I wonder if the app that NBA installs to stream video, octoshape, is causing the problem. Perhaps Alltel hasn’t tested with that particular streaming app before.
It would be nice if Alltel could test LP BB themselves to see if they could confirm your problem on their end.

Are you doing anything else on your connection right now?
The speed meter can be off if you’re doing anything else with the connection at the same time as the test.
If that's your whole bandwidth, that is sloooow.
I guess whether it’s fair depends on your current data plan with your ISP. Perhaps you have a lower price for slower access? Or are you in an area that’s fairly rural, so it may be hard to get high speeds?
But yep, this is worth a call to your ISP to check in, if you feel you should be getting a faster connection.
cool
Do you think doing the cleanup thing on that site would help at all? I usually stay away from things that want to scan and “fix” problems unless its my antivirus software.
Nahhh, I don't think their cleanup stuff would help at all
I’ve rarely heard about those things helping anyone. It’s just there to bring in advertising dollars to the site, I doubt it’s actually affiliated with them.
You’re smart to stay away from online products who want to scan and fix stuff. There are actually a few that aren’t bad. But they usually aren’t the ones who advertise.

(looking at you Greg) who have had microfracture surgery.
I went in for a knee cleanup Friday and came out having had microfracture surgery. I now get to spend 6 to 8 hours a day hooked toi a continuous motion machine for the next 6 weeks. Also lots of rehab exercises between the sessions on the machine, and no driving for over a month. ….(sigh)……..
Oh well….I guess I can spend a bit more time at BEdge. ;-)

yeah, I can deal but if I'm typing during the game I'd rather it be in here where we can have convo's than in there where it all gets lost in a sea of white
and monosyllabic, repetitive utterances

Time to channel AK and quote myself
Fact: Prior to the season, the consensus for preferred starting lineup for the ‘Zers was R.A.M.B.O. After Batum’s surgery they resorted to R.A.W.B.O and went 2-3. By inserting Andre Miller into the lineup for Friday’s game Nate created another R.A.M.B.O. combination and the Blazers won by their largest margin of the year.
Fact: Jerryd Bayless saw his first action of the year. The Blazers are 1-0 when Bayless plays. Thus the solution to all of the Blazers problems is more Baylessness (or less Baylesslessness if you prefer)
Based on the facts at hand, it is clear to see that if Nate will start Roy, Aldridge, Bayless, Miller and Oden, the Blazers will never loss a game again. It is so simple.
Oh
At first I thought you were impersonating AK and I was all like, “What the heck, AK doesn’t write like that?” Then I was all like, “Oh, I get it.”

Well he watched part of it, but he had to get ready for bed and all that stuff.
He’ll be happy when I tell him we won in the morning… and then I’ll tell him how much of a better father I am for him.
make him watch Paris, Texas with you, and at the end say “if you dont have any questions, are you ready to head to dallas?”
that sounds like it would be fun

I'll save stuff like that for my real kid.
My friend has a big flesh colored dildo with gross veins and stuff that was given to him as a joke gift in college, and I said it’d be funny if we took a picture of his son in his pull-ups (those diaper things) with the dildo poking out the bottom. The skin tone matches.
He thought it was funny, but prolly a picture better left to do with my own kid.

hey, got any spiffy ideas for a custom circuit for my class? Everyone in class is doing the same few simple circuits.

a fun and not super hard to build one is a therimin
you could do a temperature sensor using a wheatstone bridge (actually lots of sensors are based off that circuit)
the game show ring in, or a stoplight system is always fun too
I have an ebook on circuit projects that sound fun so shoot me an email tomorrow as a reminder and I will dig it up
