  1. in quick answer to the questions asked <xy is a right angle/ x and y are perpendicular/ the exterior angle of xy is 270

     

    I'm looking for the equation that spits out the arc length of z

     

    Also, it no longer really matters but now I want to know for future reference

  2. I"m pulling an all-nighter tonight to finish up a project and I can't remember an equation that I need. if you take a right triangle base and draw an arc between the two legs at their ends how do you find the length of the arc. in my case (and in the example provided) I have x = 5 and y = 3 and I'm trying to find z might want to note that the numbers provided are arbitrary and I'm trying to get this info so I can better make a scale replica of a roll top desk.

  3. My plan is to start the zombie uprising and leverage the cure I've already developed for world domination.

  4. I don't really need this mouse for my gamin purposes, my current mouse does the trick just fine. I'm looking to get a wireless so I can stretch out on my bed and watch movies (My computer faces my bed you see) I need a mouse with a pretty good range (I estimate about 10 feet from where I'd be to the usb port I'd plug the mouse into is) It needs to be something with a usb dongle because my computer doesn't have bluetooth. Money shouldn't be that big an issue. all the mice I've looked at already would be in my price range. Any ideas?

    Repeatedly avoided filter, was warned and had various punishments but didn't stop. I warned him that one more time would get a ban (though I was only going to give an hour) he avoided filter one more time and then logged off.

    Not quite... I'm a bear, that's all you get to find out. :rolleyes: You'll have to guess :bang:

    still no keep guessing :P

  7. Have you tried watching it using VLC?

     

    Have you upgraded anything else (hw or sw wise)? Have you checked nVidia's community forums for similar incidents and possible solutions?

     

    Just installed and tried VLC worked fine. I did check nVidia's forums etc and got jack squat. I think the problem may have occured because I didn't actually uninstall the old drivers I just overwrote with the new ones. I should probably figure out how to do that in the future. (my new GPU has a different arcitecture from my old one I think)

  8. Ok, as some people might know I recently upgraded my graphics card from an nVidia GeForce 7300 LE to a GeForce 9600 GT and things have been going great.... or so I though

     

    My problem arises when I attempt to watch a DVD on my computer (something that I used to do quite regularly) The program I use, Sonic CinePlayer, starts up just fine yet if I click on play and wait just a little as if it were attempting to actually play the DVD I get the Blue Screen of Death and an error message that makes absolutely no sense to me. I've written down everything that I think is important but maybe I've missed something

     

    Error message goes something like this

     

    NV4_disp.dll : Address bf07e900 base at bf012000, Date stamp 491b68ff

     

    After I get all this I have to restart my computer and after a while it tells me that I've recovered from a serious problem (well duh, I did get the BSOD) and I have the option of pulling up a further error log and also sending my problem to Microsoft.

     

    I'm stumped as to what I should try at this point. I've tried upgrading my drivers. updating the program that runs my dvds trying a program that I installed off of one of my dvds (same problem by the way) and everything. Watching movies was one of the ways that I stayed sane last semester and I'm not exactly looking forward to not being able to use my computer as a media center like I used to.

     

    Anyone got any suggestions/questions that can help me fix this mess? Please??

  9. After about a year and a half of asking questions on these forums about various hardware concerns I have had I've finally upgraded my box.

    I went from a Dell 400W PSU to a BFG 800W

    and from an nVidia 7300 LE to an overclocked nVidia 9600 GT

    The result of these two upgrades is that I can now run every game I own (with the exception of Portal for come reason) on high settings without hickups and a higher fps than I was getting on my old card at lower settings

     

    I would really like to thank everyone who answered all my newbish questions about hardware whatnot, especially Preacher, Dweezle, Samurai Nightling, and Dark Archon. I realize that it might have been exasperating for all of you to answer the same questions over and over again from the same person. I'll be kind and give you guys a breather before I start asking RAM questions :P

     

    Thanks again,

  10. I've only got one left and it's memorizing the Periodic Table. (and no I'm not a science major but it was either this or take a cumulative final that I feel I couldn't pass)

  11. thanks, Preach

     

    Now I know that i said that I'd be done asking stupid questions after that but it turns out that I need to ask one more.

    I need to find a good enough power supply to run it and the rest of my computer.

    I've recieved one suggestion in the past but I am loath to buy this because everyone who bought it complained about it having short cables. I've got up to $100 to spend on it (though I'd like to spend less) please help. I'd be willing to spring for this one if that'd work well.
