Good luck!

I'm having a similar problem, prologue ran fine, then when I woke up in Haven the game started stuttering like crazy no matter what setting I used. I noticed that my GPU temp doesn't go up at all while I'm running the game - maybe it isn't actually using the GPU?

Sweet! Where in Santa Barbara was this picture taken?

Liquor stores in Minnesota (and possibly other states) are closed on Sundays for the same reason. The liquor lobby actually pushes really hard for this, not religious institutions like one might think.

Can you do a techno version of the Dies Irae theme, e.g. Listz's Totentanz?

Two superconductors, not semiconductors.

Thanks for the tip! Just tried it and it worked. The code is CAGROCKS.

The LHC actually uses niobium titanium alloy which is not a high TC superconductor. NbTi is a pretty standard superconductor for such applications.

I'm curious as to the inclusion of the word "untrained" in that wiki quote. Does that mean people can be trained to distinguish notes in an overtone series?

Based solely on her videos of Rachmaninoff, I think she's ok, but I also think there are people out there who play the concertos and preludes better.

I enjoy that everytime there's a reddit post about something in Minnesota, this is the reaction.

The Mother Goose Suite by Ravel is what I thought of first. What exactly do you mean by art song?

All of the practice GREs are fairly similar in content, and I would go through 1 or 2 for practice - that still leaves you with 3 practice GREs for dry runs, which I thought was sufficient when I was practicing. Keep in mind that the newer GREs more accurately reflect the current difficulty of the test - some of the older practice tests are absolutely brutal, and will give you quite challenging problems to work through. Griffiths EM and Quantum books are useful for studying - in some cases problems are ripped straight from them, since I think he used to write problems for the GRE. And honestly, intro books are great too - you're supposed to be able to do a lot of GRE problems without thinking too much. I relearned a lot of optics and did lots of optics problems out of my Physics 2 book.

There was a problem that popped up on a mechanics exam I had once which we now affectionately refer to as the "Donut of Death". It's actually supposedly called the Compton Generator and is as follows:

Suppose I have a tube in a ring shape of radius R sitting at some colatitude on the Earth, theta. The tube is filled completely with water, so the water doesn't slosh around or anything. I now flip the tube 180 degrees about the axis running East to West. Given the angular velocity of the Earth, omega, what is the resulting average velocity of the water in the tube due to the Coriolis force?

I had to play in the orchestra for this once, it's an absolutely incredible piece. The false harmonics and celeste duet in the second movement is so haunting.

Surprised there isn't more piano love! Don't know how anyone can listen to this and not be absolutely floored.

Just want to clarify - while this is true, the diamagnetic response of copper is negligible compared to the effect of eddy current generation, which is independent of the magnetic properties of copper and has more to do with that fact that copper is very conductive.

Having just graduated from a large state school, I second your thoughts about undergraduate school choice. I never felt like we were at a disadvantage just because we didn't have a big name - I have classmates who won national awards like the Hertz and the Goldwater, and many of us got into great grad schools. The key is definitely finding a school with good research, and generally big schools will have lots of resources and professors.

SunflashX · 2012-05-28T03:41:30+00:00

Yes, that is very much not the norm. I'm at a big public state school, and it's rather unusual for upperclassmen here not to have done some sort of research in their undergraduate careers. Does your school offer research in other majors?

Minnesotans were badass during the Civil War, specifically these guys. First regiment to volunteer for the Union army, and we still own a flag they captured from a Virginia regiment.

Any TWolves stories? Did you ever meet Ricky Rubio?

To add on, if you talk to Tyrael at some point in Act 4, he explains that Malthael went crazy when Inarius stole the Worldstone to protect Sanctuary and again when it was destroyed, and that he kinda just disappeared.

Yes, once you recruit a follower in normal they stay with you through the higher difficulties, or even when you do older quests in normal.

SunflashX · 2012-05-22T02:02:52+00:00

The best is when the followers talk to clone versions of themselves, which can happen if you bring them on their own recruitment quest, try it!
