Can you sing multiple parts on one microphone in Rock Band?
I.E. If you have 2-3 singers, can they each sing their individual parts via one microphone or do they each need a second one for it to register correctly?
1 AnswerSinging4 years agoMy backspace key is going super fast?
Last night I put my computer to sleep (it hadn't installed any updates), and when I turned it on later that night the backspace key was starting to delete really fast. Before, I could delete this post in maybe 6 seconds, but now it takes about 3.5.
1 AnswerOther - Computers4 years agoWhy are some vowel sound not pronounced in Japanese, like the "u" in "su" and the "i" in "shi"?
For example, in "desu" or "itadakimasu", the "u" at the end of the word isn't always pronounced, turning it into "des" or "itadakimas". It's the same for the "i" in "shi" in "Arigatōgozaimashita", where the word turns into "Arigatōgozaimashta". Is this some kind of informal speak, or is it an actual rule?
1 AnswerLanguages4 years agoWhy do our limbs shake when they re holding themselves?
(I.E. holding out your hand sideways)
I don t mean tremors when you ve eaten something spicy (or something similar), I mean at rest with no influeces. Why do our hands shake then? My guess is that it s simply our muscles correcting and overcorrecting themselves while attempting to keep the limb straight. Example: You re holding out your hand and your muscles relax for a split second, bringing your hand down. They then have to tense up a little extra to bring it back up (but of course they might go overboard and your hand trembles a little above).
This would also explain why some people have steadier hands than others; their muscles are more in-sync with the brain.
That s just my guess, though; is there an actual answer to this?
1 AnswerWords & Wordplay4 years agoIs it just me, or is "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" meant to be sung to the tune of Greensleeves?
I remember reading this poem in my 5th grade class, and our teachers told us to just read it out loud; it wasn't to any tune. However, I knew that it HAD to be to a tune, so I ended up singing it to my own to myself. 3 years later, I realized after seeing it again that I had sung it to the tune of Greensleeves (back then I didn't even know what Greensleeves was).
So my personal story apart, is the poem meant to be read to the tune of Greensleeves, or is it just a coincidence?
7 AnswersPoetry4 years agoWhat is the force that flings an object off under negative Gs?
This is what I mean: Say a bird was flying in the air, and a bee was on its back (for some reason). The bird nosedives toward the ground, and right before it hits the ground it right itself, however upside down (so that when it's flying normally it is upside down). The bee is flung off. What force is it? Centripetal force? Inertia? Momentum? Or simply the Negative Gs? (Or something else)
3 AnswersPhysics4 years agoWhen speaking Japanese, how can one discern between Kanji and kana?
For example, 日 means "day" and is pronounced "hi". ひ is a kana that can be used in sentences and is also pronounced "hi". How can one distinguish between the two in a conversation? Is it simply a matter of context?
2 AnswersLanguages4 years agoQuestion about Japanese Kanji?
Are Kanji simply simplifications of sentences; if you wrote out the regular kana, would it mean the same?
For example, 日 means day, and is pronounced "hi". Does ひ (Hiragana "hi") mean the same thing, or are the two different despite having the same pronunciation?
1 AnswerLanguages4 years agoHow can non-English speakers code?
Almost all coding languages use English, e.g. <head> | <body> in HTML, public string myString in C#, etc. Are these languages simply adapted for the other languages, or is there another thing they do to work around this?
1 AnswerProgramming & Design4 years agoHow can you learn Japanese Kanji?
I've learned Hiragana and am going to work on Katakana, but how does one learn what the different Kanji mean?
5 AnswersLanguages4 years agoSystem.IO.Path.Combine is not working properly?
Code:
string daytimePath = Path.Combine(Application.dataPath, "/Pictures/Backgrounds/Day");
It should return "C:/Users/[User]/Documents/Unity Projects/_Indie Games/Train Conductor/Assets/Pictures/Background/Day", but instead it returns "C:/Pictures/Background/Day"; that is, it completely negates Application.dataPath. Why?

2 AnswersProgramming & Design4 years agoSkype will produce no sound whatsoever?
Ever since I've started using a XyperX Stinger as my headset, Skype has stopped sending any sounds. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, checking that my audio sources are configured correctly, but nothing will work. The Windows 10 app will still make sound, but it kind of sucks compared to the desktop app.
1 AnswerSoftware4 years agoHow to prefill an input field in Unity C#?
Basically, I want the script to read a text file and put the text into a variable. Then, access the text element of a UI input field and put said text in there.
The referenced text file has one word per line, like this:
lineA
lineB
lineC
etc.
Here is my code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
public class EditorController : MonoBehaviour
{
string oldText;
string[] newText;
public Text inputFieldText;
private void Start()
{
oldText = File.ReadAllText(@"C:\Users\Public\Documents/topicgeneratorelement1.txt");
inputFieldText.text = oldText;
}
}
Don't worry about newText - that's for later, when the code is more developed. Right now, I just want the input field to be filled.
2 AnswersProgramming & Design4 years agoWhat is this game for the Wii U?
I think it might be a version of Mario Party or something. Basically, its P1-P4 against the Gamepad in a series of minigames. I remember two of them:
In one you have to sort black and pink Bob-Bombs (that's all I remember).
In the other one P1-P4 must go around a creepy mansion, equipped with flashlights with limited battery. The Gamepad is an invisible ghost (they have to look at their own screen). The Gamepad must spook all of the players by going up to them - this incapacitates them until another player shines their flashlight over. In addition, the controllers vibrate when the ghost is near. The players also have a defense: if they shine their flashlight and the light hits the ghost, the ghost is revealed and starts taking damage until it runs away. The game ends when either all of the players are down or the ghost is defeated.
1 AnswerVideo & Online Games4 years agoDoes System.IO.File.WriteAllLines() overwrite the target file if it already exists?
e.g. you have it set for C:/Users/Public/Documents/writefile.txt, but writefile.txt already exists. Does it overwrite writefile.txt and make a new one based on its own arguments?
