[joke] Would you rather
featured_spectre replied to featured_spectre's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
The ability to read minds, would make negotiations much much easier. OK, WYR be Boromir from Lord of the Rings, or be Eddard Stark from Game of Thrones. -

Wolverine. Outlive magneto and just continue with life. WYR never being able to leave your country ever again, or being forced to leave it for a 3rd world country immediately without any option to come back? -
Surely the banana is for scale?

It is indeed...but now as that one didn't get answered, I'll do another... WYR be able to Slow Down Time to the point it appears to have stopped, or Slow Down the Aging Process to the point it appears to have stopped? -

8472 in star trek. Would you rather have a toned, athletic body but horribly bad acne on your face, or be 200 pounds overweight with perfect skin? -

I fixed it! haha -
OK, lets play "Would you rather" (WYR). I post a "Would you rather" scenario, and the next person answers it, then posts their own scenario for another to answer, so on and so forth. Rules No answering your own scenario Nothing that is NSFW/K Lets play! WYR be an Oompa-Loompa in Wonka's factory or be randomly assigned as one of the 5 children that visits it.

I am ambidextrous. Aside from writing, I am just as good using my left hand as I am with my right hand (only reason I haven't done writing with my left hand is that I have not had a need too).

Is that the kid from 6th sense? If so, he has aged like milk!

Very true, but that was a race and a half, to end up where he did was nothing short of amazing, especially as he wasn't expecting to do so well.

Had a small tidy up.

A mess. I have hard drives all over because I am backing them up (Hurray for Drive Image XML).

Hamilton is racing his heart out. Imagine if he hadn't had the fire how far he would have won by.

Oracle high CPU usage even when not in use
featured_spectre replied to penfold's topic in Windows Server 2008 R2
Oracle will eat anything you throw at it, but this does seem odd. Is it dedicated for Oracle or is it using oracle for another service? -
I worked in schools for just over a decade full time, and a further 4 years part time/consulting. Projector money was only there when the bulbs blew or they literally stopped working. Its only recently (last 3 years maybe) that they've been pushed for a budget for them in many schools (not saying all here!!). Some schools still dont believe in a projector budget, so its a long battle. I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it isn't going to work with a lot of them until they get a proper projector budget sorted sadly.
-
How can they save money if their budget wont allow them to?
-
Thats an arbitrary number, but ok. Most schools I know have more than that. I do find it amazing you sign up today and mention these products however

I am a meat eater, however, I have drastically cut down on consumption. From 1 - 2 times a day, to 2 - 3 times a week. Meat is great and everything, but proteins can be found elsewhere. Plus the fact I actively trap and fish for food as well certainly helps (Squirrels are very very nice!) -

haha, no not at all. Just plasma and LCD aren't as energy efficient as LED. I just do what I can to save monies. I know its a bit more up front cost, but long term, the savings on electric will make up for that. -

I know that when I get a new TV, the carbon cost is going to be huge, however in that respect, I never just "upgrade the tv". I wait until the TV is pretty much dead before I get a new one. The one in my front room has been in use for a good 7 years now, and is on its last legs due to heavy use. Will definitely get an LED one next time however. -

Honestly, no, I watched a lot of youtube videos, and just made my own design. I will say this though, ensure your bricks have time to cure with the heat (around a month is ideal) otherwise they'll crack at the high temps, and believe me they WILL crack and sometimes shatter. Every day cure them for 6 hours at a reasonably constant temp each day. Increase the temp by 30C per day (where a bellows comes in handy, or a hair dryer to keep the airflow constant). Day 1 - 300C Day 2 - 330C Day 3 - 360C Repeat until Day 30 - which will be around 1200C. For the piping, ensure you insulate them with a thick layer of clay around them (the clay hardens and becomes a good insulator, and drill holes in the clay and pipe so your air flow can reach all of the hot embers. I use a bellows for mine now (I did use a hair dryer I have to admit) and this was so that the airflow was constant. A bellows however allows larger blasts of air producing much higher temperatures. You can loan non-contact thermometres from some hardware shops rather than buying one. -

Not stalkerish at all. In the last year I have made a huge effort to be as energy efficient and as money saving/thrifty/self sufficient as possible. -

you can build your own forge for quite cheap, cost me around £90 all told for the bricks, bellows, clay etc... -

@VeryPC can you do me as gluten free from now on? I only ask as I've got a bit of a gluten intollerance (causes horrible horrible bloating, hiccups, and gasifies me). If you can't then don't worry!
