You KNOW how list threads work. This isn't new, people.

Closed unless I receive a solemn vow to elaborate on choices.

Let the Chad Hutchinson Error restart. I can understand not wanting to play starters much in the preseason, but ye gods. It's way too easy to get murdalized in the NFL.

Schveeeeeet. But just out of curiosity, what's the upshot of the music engine for, say, the Little Mermaid vs. MM3?

Just got back from seeing Dredg. Think you're excited? Feel THESE nipples!

(Only quibble is they didn't play "Convalescent".)

Oh, it'll happen. Toad's Place is allegedly a legendary venue, but most of their shows suck and are of bands no one's heard of. Last night was Dredg's first time in CT and they've been going for 10 years now...

"Smelliers"? I've heard "sommeliers"...

As far as what I'd drink, it depends ENTIRELY on what I'm eating and/or what they're known for.

Posted on 08-16-05 07:33 AM, in What are you listening to? (PARAGRAPH, WITH DETAIL ABOUT THE SONG OR IT'S OVER) Link
Time to set all y'alls straight.

np: Matthew Good Band: "Anti-Pop"

This song singlehandedly blows away anything else on the album before this, Beautiful Midnight. Musically, it's kind of interesting, as the beginning guitar riff sounds just ever so slightly looped. It's that the end gets cut off a weeeee bit. THEN comes the RAWK, along with distorted/maybe filtered? vocals. Speaking of which, the lyrics are kinda interesting, in that there's some anti-music biz/entertainment lyrics ("If you give it up they'll love you for it/Give them blood and they'll love you for it"), but then a chorus that half-questions love and assumptions: "You're not my girl/You're just tired". Add in some kids-chorus backing vocals, and it basically lives up to the name, while STILL being catchy. Impwessive.

Posted on 08-17-05 10:30 AM, in Internal Card Reader Not Playing Nice Link
See if this makes any sense. I decided to keep the card reader that I mentioned here, and stuck it in my comp. Don't have USB 2 on my motherboard, just 1.1. So I hooked it up (there is a FireWire connection on the new card, and a connection on the reader, but it's JUST for the reader's FireWire port, as the reader's USB) and stuck the USB connections onto the motherboard. Sacrificing the floppy drive's power connection, as there's only one power hookup off the power supply that's the right size and the USB 2/FireWire card needs one. (I'm sure I can get an adapter, but WHATEVER, that's not important.)

The power light lights up when I stick a memory card (SD) in there, and there's a drive icon in My Computer (mind you, this is in XP SP2) for the reader... but it's CF. Needless to say, it will NEVER work. Just tried it again, sticking the SD card from my phone in there. The comp seems to recognize that it's doing something, but it won't read the card. Now that I think of it, I think it'll have issues getting the CF card in... might have to force it.

Ah, THERE we go. It's REALLY confused. I have to stick BOTH an SD and CF card in there for it to work. The CF slot enables the SD slot, and vice versa. Think the store'll take it back?

Posted on 08-18-05 08:07 AM, in Excel problem Link
Ooh, a question that's DIFFERENT for a change.

I've made up a spreadsheet for each team in my fantasy football league. It'll calculate player scores, team scores, and the best possible score players could have gotten. For the last part, I'm trying to get Excel to return the two highest values for one column if two conditions are true. Here's how the columns are set up.

A: lists positions, as in QB, RB, WR, etc.
B: If the player in this row is starting, I put "Y" in this cell.
C: Player names. Not important.
D: Team the player is on. Only important so I can fill in...
E: Team's opponent. Only used so if a team has the week off, Q will spit out 0.
F-P: Various stat categories. QB, WR, RB, and TE use all these columns. K uses F-K, and DEF uses F-L. For the purposes of this formula, we'll only concern ourselves with QB, WR, RB, and TE.
Q: The total points a player scored. Calculates the points for each stat.

So, since you can start two players at WR, two at RB, and two more at WR/RB, I want to get the two best scores where the A cell says "WR", the two best where it says "RB", and of all the remaining players where A is either "WR" or "RB", the two highest of THOSE.

EDIT: I looked this up on Microsoft's web site and they gave me this formula. I've since rearranged the spreadsheet so that the positions (A) are now right next to the points scored (Q). It's an array formula, and I26 contains "WR", so it's looking for WR's.

{=INDEX($P$2:$Q$13,SMALL(IF($P$2:$P$13=$I$26,ROW($P$2:$P$13)),ROW(2:13)),2)}

The problem is that this returns the smallest value. I want the second smallest. Also, if I change the SMALL to LARGE, it spits back not the highest value, but the value from the LAST position listed as WR.


Because I want to be free to update this at work (shhh), the solution can't involve macros. I also don't want to have it put the contents of Q2:Q14 elsewhere. Did that last year and it sucked in an inelegant manner.

Bio: I'm REALLY having trouble comprehending your posts, but if you're saying what I think you are, smallpox vaccine is readily available. It's the reason you don't encounter it too much in the wild, and why the biggest stores of smallpox are in labs. Not much leverage there.

Ziff needs his own "The More You Know" segment here or something. ;P

Not sure I'd say Saddam was innocent, but yes, there is evidence that previous administrations supported Iraq (and consequently Saddam) against Iran. Not sure if it was the lesser of two evils, as I don't remember when Iran went fundamentalist.

I believe the term for what you're trying to understand, Bio, is Realpolitik.

By "a bit", he clearly means "the same standards as the 'what are you listening to?' thread".

Or at least I'm guessing he does if he wants this thread to stay open. (If local mods could post forum announcements, you'd see one on list threads.)
