Gaming Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on the Nintendo 2DS?
« on: August 30, 2013, 08:29:37 pm »
The 2DS actually looks really nice to use and play. If they made a version with a 3D screen, I definitely might get it. The only problem with it is that the normal 3DS can fit in a pocket, while the 2DS is stuck in the "open" position.

EDIT: So I wouldn't definitely buy it, but it would be an option.

Other / Verizon - Moving SIM from basic phone to smartphone
« on: August 29, 2013, 04:43:53 pm »
Just wondering, if I take the SIM card out of my basic phone and put it in a smart phone will the smart phone be activated and have my number? Also, will my plan be automatically updated to show that my number is now a smartphone? Or will anything happen at all? I'm on Verizon's Share Everything plan, by the way. This will probably not be what I'm doing to get a smartphone, I'll almost certainly just buy a new phone from Verizon, but I just want to know if this is an option.

I might make a little games system like jimbauwen did, but with a PIC instead of an Arduino.

Juju told me I could have a bot in the channel a while ago. I'm working on one that can do unit conversions, and maybe some other stuff.

I completely forgot to say this. I have a Samsung r540, and I could probably sell it for $300 or more.

I've been told a lot to build my own computer but I don't see any way it could lower costs so much that it would be worth doing.

Here's two more computers I'm looking at:

I'm also going to a used computer sale tomorrow, maybe I'll find something good!

Computer Usage and Setup Help / Looking for a desktop computer...
« on: July 04, 2013, 10:49:29 am »
My current computer, a laptop, isn't very good at playing my favorite games (Minecraft, Starmade, Sanctum, ...). Whenever I even go near a planet or space station in Starmade, my FPS drops to 2, 1, or sometimes 0 D:. Even just going near shops can cause noticeable lag. The computer also overheats fairly easily (and yes, I have cleaned out the fans) if I do too much graphics- or processor-intensive stuff. So I've been looking for a desktop computer, because I was led to believe that they generally run better, cooler, and are mostly cheaper than laptops. However, the only ones I've seen so far that could just match my current comp's specs are over $550-$600. Main Question of Post: I noticed that a lot of desktops at Best Buy have Pentium, i3, or AMD A1-something processors in them, and a lot of them have Intel HD graphics cards in them, and most of them have 4-6 GB of RAM. My question is: will desktop computers with these kind of specs run my favorite games faster than a laptop with an i3 processor, 3GB of RAM, and an Intel HD graphics card?

By seven segment I mean the kind of normal displays on basic calculators where each character is split up into seven segments.
Code: [Select]
Looks like this

It has a seven-segment display on it and 99 program steps. Have fun making a Gameboy emulator :P

HP Calculators / HP 12c Programming
« on: June 29, 2013, 10:24:03 am »
I recently picked up a (working) HP 12c at a garage sale for $1 (saved $79!!). I also found out that it is a keystroke programmable calculator. I'm just wondering if anyone else here owns an HP 12c. If you do, please share your programs!  :thumbsup: I'm also trying to learn/figure out how to program it...

What exactly would it be needed for? I can't think of anything besides some kind of weird expansion bay...
