  • World of Warcraft Heart of Flame legendary staff quest chain?

    I'm on the quest right now collecting cinders, i will be on essences in about 7 more weeks. How time consuming this is is driving me crazy by the time i get the staff it will be useless, now on the Heart of Flame quest i have to Smouldering Essences from a dead boss, but its not a loot item it appears to be taken from an already looted boss (kind of like skinning is done to something already looted). My question is if i can find group to do this can i just go in after every boss and siphon the Smouldering Essence from the dead boss and leave without being saved to the bosses and knock out all 250 essences out in a week?

  • Laptop recording solution?

    Basically i want to record gameplay but i can play at 130fps but screen recording programs drop me to less then 1fps. NO SCREEN RECORDING PROGRAMS. I need a solution such as hardware that i can attach via usb or hdmi that does the job of recording it since my laptop video card can't. I have an HDPVR for recording my xbox, i need something similar that does not require a computer on the other end but rather records itself or can be plugged into my external hard drive. any ideas?

    No screen recording software, you wont get best answer, and given a thumbs down

    No saying buy a new computer, my computer is fine and i cant get a better laptop for under $2,000 not worth it, again thumbs down answer

    Need a recording hardware solution, a name, a link, anything useful to my description.

    please and thank you

  • Ive been working on learning C++ and i cant seem to find a code for using more cpu on a multi core processor?

    i have windows 7 64bit an intel i7 q720 unsure if that will make a difference in the coding.

    Very new at learning c++ just started today so far i got some basic outputs on the screen, basic setting variables as predefined or as user defined, and some basic math functions. I had just gotten to learn how to make a loop in the program, so i have it counting from 0 to 100,000 to start and its counting at about 2500 per second per second but only using between 1-3% cpu what would be the coding to make it count faster using more cpu power and where would i put it, heres my current coding i may have some unnecessary code in there but i'm learning from youtube.

    #include <iostream>

    #include <cmath>

    int main()

    {

    using namespace std;

    int x;

    for (x=0;x<100001;x++)

    cout << x << endl;

    system("pause");

    return 0;

    }

    remember i'm learning from youtube please bare with my most likely amateur code. i do not know all the parameters, or syntaxes yet so please explain why the code works if you wouldn't mind or what the words in c++ mean to the programmer. Thanks :)

  • is crashing in an armored vehicle safer than not armored?

    I was watching the original tv series for the A team and they were putting armor on a car and i thought what if they crashed? And i know armored vehicles in real life exist but if they crash the armor tries to prevent the car from compressing making the stop harder on you because it wont compress, OR does it do that up to a certain speed then resist better at high speeds being more resistant to the crash? Any evidence? Armored cars are bullet resistant but what about crash safety?

  • Looking for a sega game i barely remember?

    All i can remember from it is it was a fighting game, like you vs computer or you vs friend, i can not remember if it had computer vs computer. I remember 1 of the fighters was a rock man, not like the thing from fantastic 4, he was more of a square. Most of the fighters i believe were also not human like. That is all i can remember i was like 4 or 5 when i last played it so im lucky to have remembered that. If i see the game im 99% sure ill recognize it if its it so any pictures or names or any fighting games that fit those descriptions please list it, thank you.
