    Varsh got a reaction from Sauron in This device disciplines teens with slow internet (VexBox)   
    This device would be good purely as an on/off feature however that's easily done via the router. I completely agree with this though, you need to take away full access to the internet from them otherwise they'll never learn.
     
    I probably do the most cruel thing to my nephew and that's if he doesn't answer me within a minute I just go to his computer and turn it off, I don't care if it's an MMO or an RPG with a save point he hasn't got to for over an hour. After well over 10 times of this happening he now pauses the game and does what he's told to as he doesn't want to lose his data. There still is the odd occasion where he doesn't do as he's told in which case I take away access of even computers from him.
     
    In regards to someone saying that about drugs earlier. I used to work in a Pharmacy for over 4 years and stopping drugs (especially Methadone, Buprenorphine, and other similar drugs could potentially kill this person in question due to the extensive withdrawal symptoms. There has been a case where a certain patient we had did not come to the shop for about 3 days, and not having 3 days of ~40ml of Methadone almost killed that person, they had to be taken to hospital as they had collapsed through hyperhidrosis.
     
    What I'm trying to say is stopping drugs != the same as child discipline. However throttling does not work in the slightest, I have already tried that with my nephew for several months and in the end I just simply block his devices from the router instead.

    I tried using blacks but half the time my fingers would tire out as well as a lot of the time keys wouldn't register because they wouldn't register, so reds were perfect for me because I am a very very very light typer.

    It showed me reds and I am currently using reds so that's perfect for me.
     
    I hate hard to press keys and low keys too which is why I went for reds in the first place. I do need to pick up some O rings though to make things even more quieter.

    Varsh reacted to Torand in PHP array printing problem   
    You should not have to 'break;' out of a conditional.
     
    Take the below as quick example (structure is just to help with viewing),
    if (1 == 0) { // code will NOT run} elseif (1 == 1) { // code WILL run} elseif (1 == 2) { // code will NOT run} else { // code will NOT run} Here you can see that; if the evaluation of ONE of the conditions is true, it does NOT evaluate the proceeding conditions or run any more of the nested code. Using 'break;' is not necessary and as it is of incorrect syntax, won't actually do anything and may throw PHP a warning error.

    For the 4-way tie you missed a double ampersand which is why it most likely did not work, so it would have looked something like this:
     
    if (($dcount == $a) && ($dcount == $b) && ($dcount == $c) && ($dcount == $d)) {    echo "We have a 4-way tie";} Also instead of doing lots and lots of if statements to try and find the largest value you can simply use:
    $mostVotes = max(array_count_values($array[3]));

    Varsh got a reaction from Enderman in Sooo...I like motion Blur   
    ^ This. Our eyes are accustomed to natural motion blur. No matter the amount of artificial blur added to games it will never look good and it has often given me headaches. I much prefer having a higher FPS as things would look far more natural that way.

    The racing games I'm generally playing are:
    Project CARS Assetto Corsa GRID Autosport iRacing F1 2013 I guess I'm a bit of a simulation fan though GRID and F1 2013 are more like Simcades.
