Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

@The Old Hack, the Word of Dan thread doesn't seem to be pinned, unlike pre-crash, hence I had to scroll through the listing to find it. Is there a reason for this, or would it be reasonable to request it be repinned. (This one isn't, but I don't think it was pre-crash either.)

Hmm... esse, es, est and estis are visibly related, as with sum, sumus and sunt. Minor vowel changes aside: estes respelled to êtes due to the French pronunciation. Likewise with estre, although that seems to have been semi-regularised from esse (Latin infinitives usually end in -re). Which goes to show how relatively conserved the very common be-verb(s) is － perhaps hence the tendency to retain irregularity rather than simplify (related, does any other English verb still have a distinct subjunctive mood, auxiliary use of that one with infinitives of other verbs aside?)

Given http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=580, http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=581 and http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2199, it's apparently a Lespuko skull…

Musings: If someone proved a theory, it is a "proven theory". This means that "proven" is the past participle, which is usually also the grammatical part used after "have", i.e. "have proven". But for some reason "have proved" ("proved" equalling the simple past tense) is widely accepted. Also bend→bent, wend→went. Wend means the same as go, "went" apparently later became more associated with "go". Otherwise "go" follows (although not exactly phonetically, by current phonetics at any rate) more or less the same conjugation as "do": do/does/done/doing/did, go/goes/gone/going and one would expect "gid" if the two verbs had developed the same. KJV spells "show" as "shew" in several places. "Be", the infinitive, shows obvious connection to "being" and "been", its participles. The simple past (was/(wast)/was/were/were/were) and simple present (am/(art)/is/are/are/are) show no clear connection to "be", but seem somewhat related to each other, albeit not in any regular conjugation.

Although "emoji" actually means "picture (e) written character (moji)" － the "emoticon" connection is a coincidence but probably contributed to the term's adoption by English speakers. The distinguishing factor from forum emoticons is that emoji have actual Unicode codepoints (i.e. they are stored just like a letter, number or symbol, not as a picture) － which apparently originated as an effort to map text in Japanese cellular character-encodings (which reserved codepoints for pictograms) plus the Zapf Dingbats font (later adding Wingdings and Webdings) to Unicode's Universal Character Set (designed as an international standard capable of representing text originating in any encoding). More info. (Unicode also gives a far larger number of characters to form textual emotes from than ASCII, hence we gain the "spacing macron, backslash, underscore, opening parenthesis, katakana tsu, closing parenthesis, underscore, forward-slash, spacing macron" shrug. And the Lenny.)

RE: today's NP. "Waifus"? Well, I suppose it's rather chimeric as it is… being an English word borrowed into Japanese and then borrowed back for a different meaning. Okay, I'll accept that. (Japanese words don't usually change singular-to-plural (although it is possible to explicitly indicate multiple of something). Hence with loans from Japanese usage, "three Pokemon" is used (or, perhaps more controversially, "three emoji"), analogous to "three sheep". (I tend to feel somewhat irritated by "emojis" － although the meaning is still clear, and I'd be fighting an uphill battle trying to get that one dropped.))

A NewScientist "Feedback" column mentioned a lens cleaner ingredients list including: The "curse of the spellchecker" strikes again. Googling an exact phrase "acetate butterfat" yields a page stating: Proportionate is presumably propionate, leaving butterfat to be, most likely, butyrate. As for "5-chlorine-2-methyl-4-indianapolis-3-one", "chlorine" is presumably from "chloro" (it still makes some sense, in fact). "Methyl" and "one" are probably untouched ("one" as in a ketone group, saved by its homonymy to the number), and "indianapolis"? Possibly "indophen"??? That or "indole[something]". Goodness knows what "propagandist" is.

Attached: The latest version of my character colour-guide chart, based on the work of shadowinthelight. The latest version of my cargo (clothing and furniture) colour chart. The latest version of my chart of "classic" (largely Sister2-era) colours. The latest version I had saved of the original work by shadowinthelight which I based it upon. As the Art section has not been re-created (it is debatable whether there is much point, considering the extremely low traffic which it received), I thought that a singular thread devoted to colour made sense. Hence this is the place for colourisations, colour charts, the lot! The attachments were all orignally available from the now-deceased colour-key thread. http://imgur.com/a/ePUYA Updates: Current version of mine.

Some updating and slight extension:

So this site's banner (prominently showing white "910" text on a yellow burst) would be a violation?

It's the informal name of the product marketed as "Firefox for Android".
-
Allegedly this, but my Android device isn't powerful enough to actually use the editor/post anything, so I can't really check. Edit: sure enough, Fennec Firefox isn't loading the editor, leaving "REQUIRED" directly over "Reason for edit".

Yeah, Hangouts on Android bars me from the app until I update Play Services, I do so (using root privileges to shuffle stuff round the partitions, and uninstalling stuff, to make space and tricks like that) and it just breaks stuff (slows the system to a crawl while throwing torrents of ANRs). Finish up having to bin Play Services and all obligate dependants. Tried installing Play Services / Hangouts again some significant time later, to be greeted with still breaking stuff, and Hangouts insisting that Play Services is somehow still out of date. Presumably, Google just does not care about small JBr1 devices anymore.

RE invisible text problem, I've created a page for it to save posting the same thing repeatedly: https://sites.google.com/site/harjitegs/910-invisible-text-problem

Was that the version before Opera changed to being a Chrome derivative? (checks WP) Yeah, looks like Opera 12.x was the last Presto browser although, while the transition appears to be in 2013, it lists 12.17 as released in 2014 and 12.18 as released in early 2016 (suggesting that 12.x, though an older version, is occasionally being updated).

Lipid or paraffin?

The details: Use of this was suggested for making it run on Opera, apparently successfully although I cannot personally confirm that, not being really an Opera user myself.

Hmm... Maybe Susan's and Diane's parents are Pandora and the Blonde Woman? ... I'm just gonna leave this here.

Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)
HarJIT replied to The Old Hack's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Errrrm.... @The Old Hack, what is the present ruling on making EU Referendum remarks outside the Politics thread? Edit: this might, of course, impact the acceptability of my present avatar also. -
pinup Pinup: Sunday, July 3, 2016 (Sarah & Grace cuddle)
HarJIT replied to Howitzer's topic in EGS Sketchbook Discussion
I have added Ashley -> Diane and re-reckoned the rankings without counting orbitals. This gives a better idea of hubs in the core of the 14 itself rather than the periphery: Susan, Nanase, Ellen, Elliot and Tedd stand out (especially the latter two), with Justin prominently behind due to ships being primarily orbitals (suggesting a peripheral role).

pinup Pinup: Sunday, July 3, 2016 (Sarah & Grace cuddle)
HarJIT replied to Howitzer's topic in EGS Sketchbook Discussion
I did edit the image in response to proposed amendments, which altered the perceived centre somewhat (may be redistributed freely subject to the same conditions) - dashed lines denote so-called orbitals separate from the core 14: As for edit mode, my Greasemonkey script again (yes, I'm going to keep posting this when it comes up, for the benefit of anyone who missed my previous postings). -
Wondering what the age distribution of this fandom is compared to others out there... Edit: removed poll, final results are http://community.910cmx.com/index.php?/topic/193-age-brackets-bunny-demographics/&do=findComment&comment=8861
