  • Trying to get a URL for a GIF (Nothing is working)?

    I have a GIF that I would like to share on a certain website. But that website requires a URL to post images. My GIF is 77 MB, 855 X 570, so there doesn't seem to be too many options for me to upload to. The ones I try keep failing (Photobucket, Imageshack, freeFileuploader and a bunch of other sites). I saved this picture to my computer a year ago and I don't remember where I got it from (DeviantArt Maybe, or maybe funnyjunk). I tried to do a reverse image search on Tineye but it came up with no results. When I drag and Drop it on Google Image Search the page crashes. Do I have an unsharable image on my hands? Don't know what else I can do.

  • I feel like my life is falling apart? Any advice?

    I am currently college student living with Sickle Cell anemia. I got into college and studied engineering, because it was the program I was in during my time in high school. After a good start in college, I began to struggle some of my classes, specifically Calculus II and General Chemistry. This was largely due to my laziness and partially due to me struggling in math classes since 6th grade. I failed Chemistry a second time due an unnecessarily anal teacher that I couldn't adjust to, but I passed all my other classes for that term and for my next semester.

    Then, in fall of 2012, I was required to take 3 math classes and a lab due to my engineering major. I was en route to failing everything but the lab until I got diagnosed with gallstones. The surgery for the gallstones sucked but it gave me an opportunity to medically withdraw from all my classes and avoid the failing grades and loss of scholarship. I also took this time to switch my major. I had to switch to something that I already had some credits for, so I switched to Computer Science, since I had a mild to moderate interest in computers. I took classes in this major but still struggled with some of the math classes in this major, as well having some troubles with my Sickle Cell due to the stress.

    I got through that I was once again forced to change my major by my scholarship sponsors to something with even less math and that I already had credits for. I got stuck in Information Technology and had to take 4 classes that summer, which I passed with mostly all C's. Then in the start of Fall I began the semester with a new motivation. But eventually I realized that disliked computer programming and database and was also told by a public speaker that IT was the weakest computing field at the school. I stuck around because I thought I could try and just get a degree and do something interesting, but I struggled in the computer programming class, and I also struggled get help for it because 1) the teachers offices hours were during my class and I had difficult time wording my questions in emails, 2) the computing tutors were really fast in referring me to a group of random students, that I did not know, to get answers to my questions, and those students were quick to refer me back to the tutor and/or ask me about my grades and make conversation instead and 3) trying to get help online didn't help too much because my problem was too specific and programming sites usually answered your question with another question.

    But I remained optimistic because while I failed that programming class, I still got 2 A's and a B in my other 3 classes, so I wouldn't be kicked out of school. But I needed to figure out what I wanted to do. I decided that I was going to take a semester off. I began job and apartment searching to start off ( I currently live on campus now, but I was planning on movie out since I wouldn't have the money to stay anyway). I hesitated to tell my mom about this because I knew she would be opposed to my plans and has a tendency to be non-supportive at first. She yells at me and my brother like we're animals when we do something wrong and talking to her about anything can be the most stressful part of my day. I wanted to leave her out of my plans completely because it 's not like she has paid for any of my college funds (in fact, she has the majority of my refund check and spent it on the house and has ran up a credit card in my name). The only reasons I was going to tell her is because she wanted me to come home for the holidays, but if she reacted negatively I would had declined.

    And that brings me to today. About a month ago during a check up my doctor said that I have a heart murmur. I had some testing done and today I got the results back. I have some type of problem with my heart valve that is causing moderate to severe leaking. It will require surgery to fix it, and I will have to go through some other testing as well, testing that I have to have done before the first of the year to avoid paying a deductible. I am 22 years old. The doctor said that it didn't have anything to do with my Sickle Cell, and that it wasn't passed down from my family. Just something I was born with. My mom wanted me to do it after I got out of school because she thinks I getting out with a year.

    Upon getting back to my dorm I threw some stuff around and then lied down, where I cried for the first time since I was a child. If feels that every time I try to take control over my life, or try to get up in life, I get denied. I was excited about working a job and using my paycheck to pay rent because I would at least be getting started with my life. As a person suffering from sickle cell I know that I already have a shortened life span, so I wanted to get out into the real world away from the influences and expectations of my family. But now, I just don't how I can do anything.

  • Does anybody still play Super Smash Bros Brawl?

    I'm back at home for the next 2-3 weeks and I wanted to play some matches over this time. I'm trying to step my game up and get matchup experience.

    I know about other sites where you can exchange codes, but I would have to create an account and I'm too lazy at the moment.

    My friendcode is 0173-0976-9917 if you're interested.

  • Buy a new hard drive, or replace the laptop?

    A few weeks ago my laptop's (Sony Vaio) touchpad was being wonky. I gave it a firm tap a couple of times and then it blue screened and shut off. I turn it back on and i makes some odd beeping sound, before showing me the Vaio screen then a screen saying that the operating System was not found.

    I took the hard drive out and put it back in but that didn't work so I just left it dead. After talking with some IT people I suspect that the hard drive might be the problem, but I'm no sure.

    I'm just wondering what route I should take. Any suggestions?

  • How do you determine the amount of oxygen in a product if you you know the mass of the oxide?

    I'm taking a chem lab and in the experiment we found that the mass of the oxide is .2894 g. Then it goes on to ask "what is the amount of oxygen in the product". I thought they were the same thing. How do I convert it?

  • Are the Disney Theme Parks fun? (Orlando) Would you Recommend them?

    My mom found a deal where we can go to 4 disney parks in 4 days. She asked me if I wanted to buy the deal. I can't decide if I really want to go to Disney though...

    I am 19 years old and I like rides thrill rides (I really want to go to Cedar Point because the Roller Coasters at Universal Studios are starting to get boring).

    Last Summer I went we My family and a couple friends to Magic Kingdom and had Moderate fun. I don't really want to go to Magic Kingdom again because I already rode Space Mountain, the Buzz Light year thing and what I think was splash mountain. I don't think I really need to go there a second time.

    Are the other parks worth going to?

  • What's the point of Boise State moving to the Mountain West Conference?

    Boise State will be Moving to the Mountain West conference next year (or the year after..).

    I thought it was because they were going to play better teams and maybe turn the Mountain West into a Automatic Qualifier, but now that Utah, BYU and TCU are moving on to the Pac-10 (12) and the Big East, the Mountain West is going to have No one in it except Boise (until Nevada and Fresno St. Move there)...I'm confused about the point of all the moves...

    Also do you think I should make some changes at WR?

  • Why do phones cost so much without a contract (and what would you suggest)?

    Ok, Kinda long story

    So it was just last month when I noticed that I could Upgrade My Contract and get another phone for Super Cheap....I found this one phone called the LG Expo and I really wanted it. However, it had some kind of production issue and it wasn't available on AT&T wireless.com. I considered Amazon.com but I was appalled at how people who upgraded they're phones had to pay 150 more dollars than people wanting a new contract. After a fail attempt at trying to get the phone off of ebay I gave up and settled for the Samsung Mythic (which I'm starting not to like).

    Less that two weeks after I get My mythic I notice that the Expo is back in stock on At&t and A week after that I see that it is going for just $50 for an Upgrade (and that highly pisses me off). I look to see how much it costs without a contract and I see that the Price is still a Whopping $450.

    Why do phones cost so much without a contact? And what Can I do to get the Expo for $200 or less? I don't think I'm going to make it 2 years with my current phone...

  • What are your thoughts on Metroid Prime:Other M?

    I know a lot of people are waiting for it.

    After looking at the gameplay in the most recent trailer for it and it doesn't look all that great to me. I can tell that the developers added in some aspects of their games (Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive) into the new metroid.

    But I guess that the risk you take, and maybe its just me. I'm probably not going to buy it until I read some reviews though.

    What are your thoughts on it?

  • Can anyone who knows how to work Backup Launchers and Homebrew help me out?

    Ok So I Have a couple of Backups that work fine on my Neo Gamma Backup launcher (I have 3 but the latest one I have and use is Rev 14, r8, beta 12).

    I have a backup of Mario Kart Wii that works perfectly; until I go online to play. If I go online and try to play a Regional or Continental Race or Battle, I am Matched up against opponents from Europe. I am in America and when I had an original copy of Mario Kart Wii I didn't have this problem. Another thing I find odd is that even though it shows me getting put in a room full of Europeans, it still shows my Mii waving from the United States.

    I am pretty sure that I am also facing this problem in my Tatsunoko vs Capcom Backup, because everytime I try to play the backup on Wifi I end up having to play through gruesome lag, even though when my friend had his Wii and his game at my house he didn't have lag as bad as me (which has me thinking that I may be playing against European people in that game too).

    Is there a setting that I can change to fix this or did I do something wrong in the burn process? Whats going on?
