I just got a PSPgo (don't worry, it was very, very cheap) and I love the little thing, with a few exceptions. While it does have 16GB of built-in storage, I have an extensive PSN library and even getting a 16GB M2 card won't hold it all (curse you, sales...). Not to mention how overpriced it is. While I can do the sensible thing and prioritize my games, I'd really like to see if it's at all possible to wire a 32GB Micro SDHC in there. Slot or even directly soldered, I don't rightly care, so long as it adds 32GB (or hell, I'd take a 64GB Micro SDXC if it'd work).

I also have a PSP slim with a 32GB card, so please don't pull the "just use a real PSP" bit. That's not the purpose of this unit. This is for easy travel and slacking off at work, which I seem to be doing quite a bit of, lately. :)

My soldering skills are intermediate-level, so I don't mind a bit of work, so long as it isn't too complicated.

That fun little search bar up top as well as doing an actual web search did absolutely nothing for me. Thank you.

I am a 25-year-old, 6'5", 180 lbs white male and within the past few years I have noticed something a bit odd. At first it was once in a month or so, now it's nearly every night. When I lay down to go to bed, my heart will sometimes beat very hard, very fast, for about two seconds or so. Afterwards, it slows down to about half of normal (40 BPM or so) for another second or two, and then resumes its normal rate (about 70 BPM). Earlier today when I laid down for a quick nap, it shot up to about 140 again, but this time it stayed there for about 5 seconds (maybe a bit longer), and steadily returned to normal. My breathing, thought, everything else that I can think of was normal.

I don't smoke, I rarely drink, and as far as I know I have relatively few health problems aside from flat feet and achy joints. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for many years, but about two months ago I started taking Zoloft. It has helped my anxiety as far as I can tell, but this odd heart rate thing persists. I have also started a diet and exercise program to get in shape (my BMI is only about 20, so this is more to gain muscle and endurance rather than to drop fat) and have dropped soda completely as well as most non-organic foods. I have worked in the hub at UPS for about 6.5 years now and am wondering if that is at all related. They did have Teflon coating many of the metal chutes and slides in the building, and I have heard of reports linking Teflon to cancer and other diseases, but this is a mystery to me. My PCP thinks it's related to anxiety, but I'm having my doubts.

Should I try and convince my doctor to refer me to a cardiologist and have this checked out thoroughly? At 25 and not ever having been obese and without having much of a family history of heart problems, this concerns and confounds me quite a bit. Thank you all very much.

This one will probably take some explaining. I'm in an intermediate Java course and am making a project that utilizes a command line menu system. Each option will have a letter or number associated to it. Now, I had used a switch statement which DID work to an extent, but not quite the way I need it to nor the way my professor would have liked it to as it would build a program stack instead of actually returning to the menu like I'd like for it to do. He suggested to make the menu itself object oriented, with each command being its own object.

I have it now as a Menu class containing a List (Linked or Array, doesn't matter, as the list will be small) of Command objects, where each will represent its own command on the menu.

I suppose the menu could simply be an attribute rather than a class as it really is just a List and nothing special, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. I'll obviously have some very simple commands for testing, such as option 1 print out "Foo" and option 2 print out "Bar" or something like that without actually messing with the data.

I need some of the commands to pass another object (another glorified List, let's call it Stuff for this example), but for the most part they are printing to the console.

What is really getting me is making each instance of Command have its own method attached to it. They only need one method each (what they'll be doing, and maybe some private methods to break larger methods up), but I'm not sure exactly how I'd go about accomplishing that. Would I specify those methods in the Menu class and pass each method to a particular instance of Command? I've never tried, but can you pass methods as a parameter? I love the idea of making an object menu, but I don't really know how to go about DOING it.

I know that one of the commands will be to exit the program, and I'd probably accomplish that with a while(!done){} loop and have the exit Command set the flag for done to true. So certain commands would alter a boolean and some would edit the Stuff object passed to it.

Searching the web isn't proving fruitful in my plight and I have yet to hear a response from my professor since I last emailed him. Can anyone lend a hand in this mad quest to make an object oriented menu?

I have a Java assignment and need a bit of help. I need to be able to load a binary file (honestly, it doesn't say whether or not it needs to make one if one doesn't exist, but I think it's a good idea) that's path is specified via user prompt. Also, the input file should not be specified as a command line argument.

I only need to read one thing and write one thing to and from the file (a custom object using ObjectInput/OutputStream). As I'm also a bit iffy on binary files, I need to overwrite the preexisting file upon completion of the program. If I'm not mistaken, ObjectOutputStreams append to the file, correct?

Any help on this is appreciated as I'm a bit clueless when it comes to file IO, especially binary file IO.

I have a design project in Adobe Illustrator that I'm almost done with, but I have to include some typography and I'm a little stumped on a font. The piece is a quite a bit like Hello Kitty as opposed to anime, so think along those lines. I was thinking something a bit bubbly or otherwise cutesy, but I'm unable to find anything at the moment. Thanks for any input!

I recently purchased a TekNMotion Yapster Blaster that stopped working after maybe five hours of use (both the headset itself and the amplifier that came with it, which was my main draw :/ ). I have a Razer Electra that I absolutely love, and it does have an in-line mic, but it's really more for listening than for gaming.

I have a 3.5 -> 2.5mm adapter for microphones that came with the Yapster Blaster and my television does have a headphone jack. I use HDMI for my video/audio out and I do have the RCA/optical audio-out dongle, which is what I was using with the Yapster Blaster.

I would like to have a switch to turn the microphone on and off like you can on standard 360 headsets. Volume control would be a plus, but not necessary. The mic's position is fine where it is (about 3 inches down the cord from the headphones), but I feel I should note that the cord that comes from the headphones is a detachable 3.5mm cord, so if there's an adapter that could plug straight into the headphones themselves would be a major plus.

I figure I'd need a splitter that separates the audio-out and mic lines, respectively. From there, I could use the 3.5 -> 2.5mm adapter and plug straight into the controller, but I'd have no way to turn the mic off other than unplugging it -- not good in the heat of battle.

I'm pretty crafty with electronics, but I'd like for this to not look super-kludge. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Also, I'm poor. Which is why I'm looking to adapt something I already have.

Thanks!

I am enrolled in a software development program at a local university with a graphic design track. This was the closest that I can get to a real, campus-based school with game design in my state (the graphic design is for character and world design, if you didn't pick up on that). We're learning programming languages and basic software stuff, but when it comes to game engines and such, I'm on my own.

So my question is this: what books, eternal resources, etc. should I be looking into to add those to my program? Learning Java/C/C++/C# and all that is fine and dandy, but we are skipping over anything graphical--this course was obviously intended for non-gaming careers. (Also, is C# better for game design than C++? I keep hearing so many good things about it.)

I'm passionate about games, art, good writing, and all that jazz, so I have the drive to self-teach. If there are online courses that don't require pre-reqs (or easy-to-prove pre-reqs, at least), then I could do that, but my experience with online courses hasn't been all too great (too much leniency, IMO). I will make whatever work.

A simple list of classes/textbooks from a school that offers game development/design will do. I just need to know where to start looking. I want to start with a simple Castle-Crashers-esque game and work my way up to being able to make A-list retail games, such as Mass Effect, God of War, and the like..

Thanks, and any good answers are appreciated.

(Also, for some dumb reason I posted this before and it went under "Education." While, yes, this is for my education, I had clicked on Programming & Design.)

I have a program that wants me to print out a number of box diagrams in C. This would be fairly easy for me, except that they need to fit 4 boxes to a line, separating each row of boxes with a blank line. So say the number of boxes I have to print is 9, the result would be:

********** ********** ********** **********

**stuff1** **stuff2** **stuff3** **stuff4**

********** ********** ********** **********

********** ********** ********** **********

**stuff5** **stuff6** **stuff7** **stuff8**

********** ********** ********** **********

**********

**stuff9**

**********

So assuming that this stops at 9 or whatever, how would I go about printing this out? It needs to adjust length based on a user-defined number, so the user would ask for 5 and would get 5 boxes.

I'm scratching my head on this one. Any help I can get would be appreciated.

I have a 1986.5 Toyota Supra with an electronically controlled automatic transmission (7M-GE engine), and recently the car decided to start shifting at about 4000 RPM. I've done some tests, and mechanically the transmission is sound. Following the tests, it's an electric problem. Taking out the ECT computer and driving while shifting manually, the car drives just fine.

My question is will I absolutely HAVE to replace the ECT, or is there something else that could be wrong? It's with EVERY single gear (2-4) that it shifts at 4000 RPM, not the redline of 6500 RPM. Also, finding a replacement ECU is turning out to be a real *****. Finding a beaten-up, used one costs about $150, with a new one costing upwards of $400 (including a core charge).

Thanks for any help!

I have a 2005 Mazda, and my keyless entry was working just fine before I went in to my networking class, but when I left the class to get back into my car, the remote entry was no longer working. I used the key to manually open the door, and when I got home and tried my spare key, it worked just fine. I had been working on the electricals of my car, but this last bit made me wonder about the key itself.

In the class, we were working on setting up wireless networks, configuring SSIDs, enabling passwords and the like. Is there a chance that this messed up my key?

Thanks!

I just recently bought a used 86.5 Toyota Supra (super cheap, super-good cosmetic condition), and it seems to have an issue. The car rumbles at a stop. Shifting into Neutral lessens the problem considerably, but does not entirely diminish it. Power does drop as well while it does this. The car is (obviously) old and does have quite a few miles, but the car was serviced, maintained, and garage-kept, so I'm hoping it's not a serious, need-to-replace-your-engine kind of problem.

I've heard that it could be the exhaust or possibly the ignition, but I honestly don't know myself. I have access to a shop with a lift, so with the right direction, I'll be able to fix something relatively simple.

Thanks for any help!

I'm trying to make a .mak file for a project in C (for a class, very simple project) and I've never done a make file. My placement in the class is a special case, and it's technically too high of a level for my experience.

The program is very simple, it has four int variables and one int array, with one source file (project2.c). The only host file needed is stdio.

I've been looking at tutorials, followed the instructions and samples from the class, but nothing is really helping. Here's what I have so far:

#project2.mak

CC = gcc

CFLAGS = -g -Wall

OBJECTS = project2.o

project2: $(OBJECTS)

**tab** $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o project2

project2.o: project2.c

**tab** $(CC) $(CFLAGS) project2.c

clean:

**tab** rm -f project2 *.o *~

In Cygwin, I set the directory to the one the make and source files, type (without quotes), "make project2.mak" and the response is "Nothing to be done for 'project2.mak'."

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. Can someone lend me a hand, please? Thanks for any help!

It's for a class. I have tried cygwin which was recommended, but as I said, I'm a TOTAL n00b. I can't make heads or tails of it. I have access to Visual Studio 2010, but as I said, this is for a class and it HAS to be for C, not C++ (we'll get to C++ later in the class). I've also downloaded netbeans, but it needs compilers (I think it said to get gcc from cygwin). Where and how do I get these compilers and where/how do I use them? Thanks!

I don't plan to do any racing, just daily driving with a little bit of "oomph." I've heard of adding Idemetsu with every fill at the pump, but I was hoping to not have to import a case. Maybe in the near future, but not right now. The car has over 100k miles, BTW. Older RX8.

I've also heard of separating the oil line that burns the oil in the engine and filling it with 2-cycle fuel, which is made to burn. What gas/oil ratio would be good for that and where would I find out how to do this (RX8Club.com I figure would be good, but searching has proven difficult)? Thanks!

I have a 2002 Range Rover that has a problem with overheating. I took it into a shop and they had said that it was "losing compression around the cylinders," whatever that means, and that the engine would have to be replaced. It didn't have this problem before the water pump leaked and I used that stop-leak stuff, and I used it three different times, so I assume that it coated the sides of the cooling lines in the block.

Replacing the engine would cost more than the car is worth. My father-in-law said that a flush should do the trick, but I don't know what kind of shop would do that. Some radiator specialist, perhaps?

Also, would they have to just flush it, or would roto-rooter-styled blockage clearing be necessary? Thanks!

One of my favorite past-times is imitating movie/TV show/video game characters and actors, and I think that I'd like to pursue a career that I can use that talent, and I think I'd be pretty darn good at it, and have been told so by several others. My wife was the one who prompted me to look into this as a career, as I could never really find a job that felt like I was well suited for. Problem is, I have absolutely no idea how to go about it. I also live in Oklahoma, and I don't know of any studios that would make good use. Oh, sure, there's the radio and local commercials, but I'm not sure how to even get in on THOSE. I have had some experience in vocal music and acting from high school, but I didn't keep with it in college, as I WAS going for medicine, and that, as you can imagine, took up most of my time.

A list of actors/characters that I can imitate (some better than others, but it stands to reason) are as follows:

Seth McFarlane (Peter Griffin, Carter Pewterschmidt, Cleveland, Quagmire, Bruce, Brian, Stewie (that one doesn't come out quite how I'd like it to), and several other FG and AD characters)

Gideon Emery (Fenris from Dragon Age 2, Balthier from Final Fantasy XII, etc. All of his voices sound about the same)

Steve Blum (His are a little tricky, but I can do Spike from Cowboy Bebop pretty well, as well as his Dragon Age: Origins voices. Vincent Valentine is VERY gruff, and I think I'd need to smoke a bit to be able to do that one.)

Mark Meer (Commander Shepard from Mass Effect, Mikhail Dryden from Dragon Age, and a few others. He's pretty new.)

Patrick Warburton (like Gideon Emery above, most of his voices are very similar, but they include Joe Swanson from Family Guy, Brock Samson (Venture Brothers), and others, They all sound about the same.)

I can also do Gollum, Meatwad (ATHF), Larry the Cable Guy (groan...) and some other fun characters.

That's just some of the imitations I like to do, and I intentionally left out political figures. I can do them, but I wanna leave politics out of this. I can **gasp** make up my own voices too, but it would be awful hard to give an idea of what I can do just by saying, "well, there's this voice that sounds kinda like Blah McBlah, and has a hint of Blankity Blank, but the character is more like Whosit Whatsit, only completely different," you know?

So where would I take this to? I'm sure there have to be agents around, but here in Oklahoma, I can't think of much that could make use. I think Dallas has some studios for animation (anime, more specifically) which could work, but I would like to NOT move if at all possible. Any good, viable help is appreciated, and this is a pretty big deal for me, so serious answers only, please. Thank you!

I made my character a little odd looking and would like to change his appearance, but I don't really wanna start all the way over. I have both the PC version (with the console enabled, the version with the Warden I'm referring to) and the 360 version. I found that mirror to be incredibly handy in Dragon Age II. I tried "runscript chargen 0" and that... didn't work at all. Thanks!

I would really like a Lenovo IdeaPad Y570, but the only resolution screen available is 720p. I was wondering if it would be possible to put in a higher resolution screen from a different Lenovo, such as a 15.6" ThinkPad. If it is even possible, would the software/drivers be compatible? Not familiar with non-identical swaps. That's the only downfall I see compared to similarly priced gaming laptops. And no, I'm not getting an Alienware. I have a Lenovo discount and want to make good on it.

I'm trying not to make a habit of this. I've tried many paths to this problem, and I can get the first of four lines perfect, but the rest comes out as a garbled mess.

The program is supposed to make four rows of eleven "columns," with, that looks like this:

10123456789

2024681012141618

30369121518212427

404812162024283236

As you can tell, the first number increases, then all numbers after the first in any given row are multiplied by an int multiplier that increases by 1 every cycle. The problem says to use two "for" statements, but I seem to be having better luck with three (I'm pretty sure it's gonna have to be three loops, one for the rows, one for the first number of each row (and the endl; instruction), and one for the multiplier/10 extra numbers in the row.

The section is on posttest loops, so I am trying to find a way to work a "do while" statement in there instead of a "for" statement, and I figured it would work best in the "multiplier" inner-most loop, but I'm pretty darn stumped.

As this is an online class with very little interaction with classmates and most of this being self-taught, I'm feeling awfully n00bish here. I've spent easily 4+ hours trying to get this problem to work. It's not working.

Here is what I have so far, and the results I get for it are... odd...

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int multiplier = 0;

for (int line = 1; line < 5; line += 1)

{

for (int number = 1; number < 5; number += 1)

{ cout << number;

do //begin loop

{

int nNumber = number * multiplier;

cout << nNumber;

multiplier += 1;

} while (multiplier < 10);

} cout << endl;

}

system ("pause");

return 0;

} //end of main function

The results are as follows:

10123456789220333448

113228345464

117236357480

121244369496

A prompt response would be most appreciated. Thank you very much!

I will continue to work on this in the mean time. Trust me, I don't like things just handed to me, but if I pull out any more of my hair, I'll look like Uncle Fester.

I am replacing the clutch in my 2006 Hyundai Elantra (front wheel drive) for the first time (first time ever replacing a clutch) and I'm kinda hurting for money, so I have to be frugal. I don't race, but getting on the highway quickly would be nice! I would REALLY like to get a stage 1 (street) ACT (Advanced Clutch Technologies) clutch kit, but that is really quite expensive. I am also in need of a new flywheel, as it has been slipping FAR too long and I imagine it looks quite trashed.

I know ACT is a good company, but I know little of others. Google has shown good reviews for Exedy and a transmission shop near my house ONLY uses LuK parts, so I imagine they are good, but I hear of many other companies, such as eClutchMasters, Sachs, XTR, F1 Clutch, and GripForce and can't seem to find anything definitive.

F1 Clutch makes a flywheel that I keep seeing online and it seems to get good reviews (really, how could a flywheel be bad? It's made of "chromoly" steel instead of aluminum and weighs ~10 lbs.). Many of the reviews for their clutches, however, make them seem shoddy. It also appears that F1 Clutch, XTR, and GripForce are all the same company. eClutchMaster looks good and they have their own website, but I've never heard of them before.

I have to spend ~$500 for the labor so I have to save somewhere down the line. I make $200/wk, so that number hurts pretty bad. I can live with OEM, but Stage 1 sounds nice. More importantly, I need this to last. I don't drive like a COMPLETE idiot and take care of my car both mechanically and aesthetically, and thus I was able to have this clutch last over 100k miles. I would like that kind of number again.

I think that about covers it. I need the WHOLE PACKAGE, flywheel and all, so I have to save somewhere. I've found several on eBay, but I don't trust them any further than I can throw 'em. I would love to splurge a little on a good clutch and do the job myself, but as I've never done one before and don't have access to a transmission jack (do have access to a lift, though) I'm gonna have to take a hit for labor costs. Thanks for any help, I hope to do this ASAP, so hopefully I can order the stuff by Monday.
