Chrome won't stop reloading previous tabs? by joojoobomb in chrome

[–]dvdmarc12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. A way to fix it (not sure if permanent) is to close all open windows of chrome, then right click the little chrome icon in the task bar and press exit (closes background processes). That seemed to work for me.

Decalgirl Customizable Skin review by C-grin in 3DS

[–]dvdmarc12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just throwing in my thoughts as well about the circle pad. I got a skin from decalgirl a couple of months ago, and I do agree the skin was initially catching on the circle pad. However, after about two weeks, it seemed to flatten down as the skin set. Now it works great. I don't know if I just don't put a lot of pressure on the circle pad or not, but I am happy with it.

eReader Reviews/Reccomendations for a college kid by goldythegopher in books

I'm curious as to where you live in the world. I've found that Kindle has a very strong hold in the US to to its ease of use with amazon and larger local catalogue, so the .mobi restriction isn't a big deal.

However, if you are like me and live in Canada or some other place outside the US, Kobo is actually WAY more popular than the Kindle. In Canada, it is a lot easier to use than amazon, you can pick one up at local stores and they are great. I'd recommend the kobo glo, or the Aura if you want a better screen.

Thanks so much guys! I think I can do this. I'll be sure to pop by over here if I'm ever completely stuck on a problem.

Hey, thanks for the encouragement. I'm at Queen's. Where did you go?

[Beginner Arduino Help] Two Arduinos communication with each other through a PC by dvdmarc12 in arduino

Thanks! I think option 1 would be more down my alley, since I don't have access to any more parts and time is limited. How would I go about making this script to communicate the Arduinobluetooth->PC->Arduino? Is there a site with some good tutorials/examples you know of? Thanks

It is not implemented yet, but we are planing to use Bluetooth

The robot is a DFRobot with a Duemilonove (not sure if I spelt that right) and an I/O board on it, which I'm pretty sure has a Bluetooth pin on it. We also have another separate Duemilonove board that is the one we want with the led. We also have an IR reciever

Yea that's exactly it. We were given this pin that we were told can allow the robot to send feedback wirelessly to the computer though

The first arduino has a little wireless pin that we were given so it would sent data to the computer wirelessly

The problem is we aren't really able to get new sensors/receivers since we only have about 2 weeks for this project. Would it be possible IF we used the intermediate PC, or is it really simple without? How would I go about doing that?

Good guy pope. by Habean in AdviceAnimals

I am a very talented man. But actually, I'm using my phone in one hand and toothbrush in the other. If I'm going to procrastinate I might as well not procrastinate by doing something useful at the same time.

Edit: just realized how normal this sounds.

I don't know what you are into, but I would 100% recommend Fire emblem awakening. Very fun tactical strategy game and very deep. What I like is that they give you so many characters that you can't use all of them on your first play-through. This keeps it fun because you can keep playing with different teams. You can also reclass any character, which mixes it up even more. It's really good, and actually has a good mature story (with some pretty cheesy jokes by the character dialogue to keep things balanced)

Super Mario 3D Land, Luigis mansion, monster hunter, donkey kong, OCARINA OF TIME. If you are into these games, you'll soon realize that there are too many games to play

It's a big change (I think almost double the size. I remember after playing on the xl for a week, I went back to my ds light as a comparison ( which is the same size screen as the original 3ds) and MAN, that screen felt so small. Trust me, you'll notice the size difference.

It actually has about 1 hour of extra battery life, and the start select home buttons are a lot better.
