    Thanks, I will be picking up Ghost in the Shell 2.0 then. I may pick up the DVD for the original version as I have heard the original version on the extras for Ghost in the Shell 2.0 is shitastic.
    I guess we all pick our poison. If you're a fan of the original movie, this remake will make you upset.

  • (except Ghost in the Shell 2.0)
    I can't stand the CGI replacements.
  • Oooooh. Thought you meant 2.0 as in Innocence.
  • Noooooooope.
  • Oooooh. Thought you meant 2.0 as in Innocence.
    Same thing happened to me.
  • Alright, now I am back to holding off on picking up 2.0. I do want to pick up Innocence as well but that one is a bit costly for the good version.

    Why the hell isn't my iPod (nano, 2nd gen) being recognized as a device by anything?

    EDIT: Nevermind, a hard reset fixed it.

  • My father wants to know if we set off a nuke in the atmosphere over where the cloud of debris from that meteor hit, would it clear that stuff out?

    I keep telling him its a terrible idea due to radiation and EMP frying any electronics, but he wants to know if it would work.
  • Tell him to set off an explosive in the house and see if it cleans the dust off the shelves.
  • Are there any Anglicans complaining about the sanctity of marriage in the case of same-sex couples? That would be awesome.
  • Has anyone heard of this before? I'm trying to spray-bleach designs onto some bandanas that I got super cheap from Oriental Trading, but no matter how strong the bleach I use, they will not change color. I just tried some concentrated bleach I got on an old shirt and it changed color almost instantly. I am baffled.
  • Quick, make a suit out of those bandanas and go fight crime.
  • Ok, apparently these are made out of polyester, and polyester doesn't bleach. Today I have learned something. Spray paint it is, then.
  • So I've got this legendary research paper due next Friday, and I'm having a lot of trouble with it. My go to resource (Mr. Greg) is out for the day. Would anyone on here be willing to help me?

    You can get colored cotton bandanas at most craft stores in the place where the T-shirts are. And yeah, you have to use plant fibers for bleach to work. Cotton/poly blends usually still work because there's enough cotton. Rayon will generally work too because it's a cellulose fiber. Don't ever use it on wool or silk; bleach breaks down the proteins and actually dissolves the fabric.

    Am I the only one who read bandanas as bananas?

    I recently got some silk dupioni that ended up being too dark for what I want it for, so I got some rit dye remover to hopefully lighten it, but I haven't actually tried it yet. Do you think it'll be safe and not kill the pretty texture?

    That should be fine. It's not bleach. RIT products are specifically designed to be multi-fabric compatible. Read the label though, to make sure. The optimal thing would be to soak the fabric first in a basin or the tub or whatever. Mix the dye remover with the water you'll be washing the fabric in evenly, then add the wet fabric and stir it up really well. That will help prevent splotching. Still no guarantees it will lighten evenly, but better than adding the fabric dry or pouring the dye remover in on top of the fabric.
  • There was a thread, or possibly a part of a thread, that was on here around a year ago. It was about a contest that was being held where you code (in any language you want) a set of instructions for a combat robot that went around and shot other robots (virtually). I think that was it, actually. There was a lot of discussion about which languages would be best for this and such, and now I can't find it.

    There are many such competitions.

    You are not wrong at all, there are. There was one that the forums discussed at length a year or so ago. Now I'm not finding it, most of the ones I'm seeing are focused on a specific language and don't let you code in whatever you want (there was a lot of discussion on here about performance of various code bases).

    This is the closest I've found for you, SquadronROE, but I don't think it's the one you're looking for.

    Yeah, that's not the one SquadronROE wanted, although GCJ is a good contest (and this year's begins pretty soon).

    Here's a more likely bet:

    You should have been at MAGFest over 150 Nerf people going at it at the same time.

    Doesn't sound right to me, but I might be wrong. Also, that doesn't look like his garage.
