Episode 20 – Transcendant GT-R!

Spoilers:

These 2 episodes didn’t even complete 1 battle, but it had a nice setup. Purple Shadow is the team Project D is competing against this time. One is known as God Foot for his godly acceleration skills. The other is known as God Arm for his godly handling skills. Even though both of them are quite old (mid 30s I’m supposing), they don’t lack any skills to compete against the youngsters. God Foot drives a Nissan GT-R. He started with a 32 and loved it. Then he upgraded to 33 and found it to be lacking and bought a new 32 afterwards. Now he has the 34 and that fixed all the little nuiances he noticed about the 32 and loves it even more. Ryousuke’s advice to Keisuke is to keep a 7 second margin on his uphill battle and try to take over during the downhill battle since he’ll have the advantage then. Another interesting fact revealed about God Foot is that if he concentrates too hard, he’ll race without braking.

Can’t wait to see the next 2 installments, but that’ll be in 2 months. Sigh…

Blood+ Episode 2

Blood+ Episode 2 – Magic Words was fansubbed a few days ago.

blood+blood+blood+blood+blood+blood+blood+blood+blood+

Spoilers:

In this episode, they revealed a bit more background, though the violin playing guy is still somewhat of a mystery. I have a feeling that he’s her father somehow, but this is all based on a photo you see with him and the girl and another older woman, like a family potrait. You find out these vampire like creatures were actually experiments created by the American government and that this girl is the only tool Japan has to fight them. And I’m guessing the next few episodes will be trying to awaken the monster in Saya. Also, the man at the end making the phone call is quite interesting in that I’m thinking he’s the “other” mouse. The father’s reaction to the phone call is quite suspiciuos…

Blood+

So a new season of anime is out. Don’t really know what I’ll be watching, but there’s one that’s caught my interest so far: Blood+. I think it’s based of the movie: Blood – The Last Vampire

Blood - The Last Vampire

This anime movie was first introduced to me by crabyaple. Really nice animation. Really gory though. I don’t remember exactly the storyline, but it involved a girl with a katana and lots and lots of blood. So far, Blood+ is quite similar and I’ve only watched the first episode – First Kiss. You can watch some trailers here or at the original link. And I’ve attached some screenshots:

13 Coins Solution

Thought of the day: On the trip up, we saw a Transformer decal and we were wondering if it was the Autobots or Decepticons. This led to an interesting point. Does to deceive mean to lie? I personally think they’re different. If i had lied to someone, it doesn’t entail that the person believed me. But if I had deceived someone, that means at some point in time, that person was tricked. Lets use another sentence. “I deceived person x.” vs “I lied to person x.” Although both are valid sentences, they are clearly different in meanings. Personally, the 1st one sorta means, I had lied to person x and he believes in my lie, while the 2nd sentence means I had lied to person x, but doesn’t necessarily mean he believed in the lie. So all I’m trying to say is that lying is an action while deceive refers to the state after lying. Sorta like saying you can always fail at deceiving, but you can’t fail at lying.

Here are the answers to yesterday’s riddles. If you want to try it before reading the solution, I would highly suggest you read yesterday’s entry before reading the solution.

9 coins:

  • randomly chose 6 coins and weigh 3 on each side (weigh #1)
  • if scale is balanced:
    • that means the heavier coin is in the remaining pile
    • choose 2 coins from the remaining 3 and weigh 1 on each side (weigh #2)
    • if scale is balanced, unweighed coin is the counterfeit
    • if scale is unbalanced, the heavier coin is the counterfeit (u were told the counterfeit was heavier)
  • if the scale is unbalanced:
    • chose the pile which is heavier (since counterfeit is heavier, making the total weight of the 3 coins the counterfeit is in heavier than 3 real coins)
    • choose 2 coins from that pile of 3 and weigh 1 on each side (weigh #2)
    • if scale is balanced, unweighed coin is the counterfeit
    • if scale is unbalanced, the heavier coin is the counterfeit (u were told the counterfeit was heavier)

13 coins:

  • randomly choose 8 coins and weigh 4 on each side (weigh #1)
  • if scale is balanced:
    • label the remaining 5 coins: I, J, K, L, M
    • label one of the original 8 coins in the 1st weigh A (we know A is real since there’s only 1 counterfeit)
    • weigh I + J against K + A (weight #2)
    • if scale is balanced:
      • you know L or M is the counterfeit
      • weigh L against A (weigh #3)
      • if scale is balanced, M is the counterfeit
      • if scale is unbalanced, L is the counterfeit
    • if I + J is lighter than K + A:
      • you know either I, J, or K is the counterfeit
      • if I or J is the counterfeit, that means the counterfeit is lighter than the real
      • if K is the counterfeit, that means the counterfeit is heavier than the real
      • weigh I against J (weigh #3)
      • if scale is balanced, K is the counterfeit
      • if scale is unbalanced, the lighter of the 2 coins (I or J) is the counterfeit (since we already proven that the counterfeit is lighter if I or J is the counterfeit)
    • if I + J is heavier than K + A:
      • you know either I, J, or K is the counterfeit
      • if I or J is the counterfeit, that means the counterfeit is heavier than the real
      • if K is the counterfeit, that means the counterfeit is lighter than the real
      • weigh I against J (weigh #3)
      • if scale is balanced, K is the counterfeit
      • if scale is unbalanced, the heavier of the 2 coins (I or J) is the counterfeit (since we already proven that the counterfeit is heavier if I or J is the counterfeit)
  • if scale is unbalanced:
    • label the coins on the lighter side as A, B, C, D and the coins on the heavier side as E, F, G, H
    • label one of the remaining coins that weren’t weighed as I (I is guaranteed to be real since the counterfeit must be in the 8 coins that were weighed)
    • if A, B, C, or D is the counterfeit (then the counterfeit is lighter than the real)
    • if E, F, G, or H is the counterfeit (then the counterfeit is heavier than the real)
    • weigh A + B + E against C + F + I (weigh #2)
    • if scale is balanced:
      • either D, G, or H is the counterfeit
      • if D is the counterfeit, then the counterfeit is lighter than the real
      • if G or H is the counterfeit, then the counterfeit is heavier than the real
      • weigh G against H (weigh #3)
      • if scale is balanced, D is the counterfeit
      • if scale is unbalanced, the heavier coin is the counterfeit
    • if A + B + E is heavier than C + F + I:
      • given the conditions above, A, B, F, and I are real (since A and B have to be lighter to be counterfeit and F has to be heavier to be the counterfeit; I has always been real since the 1st weigh)
      • that leaves only C or E to be the counterfeit
      • weigh C against I (weigh #3)
      • if scale is balanced, E is the counterfeit (since C no longer is)
      • if scale is unbalanced, C is the counterfeit
    • if A + B + E is lighter than C + F + I:
      • given the conditions above, C, E, and I are real (since C has to be lighter to be the counterfeit and E has to be heavier to be the counterfeit; I has always been real since the 1st weigh)
      • that leaves only A, B or F to be the counterfeit
      • if A or B is the counterfeit (then the counterfeit is lighter than the real; copied from above)
      • if F is the counterfeit (then the counterfeit is heavier than the real; copied from above)
      • weigh A against B (weigh #3)
      • if scale is balanced, F is the counterfeit (since A or B no longer is)
      • if scale is unbalanced, the lighter coin is the counterfeit (since A or B is the counterfeit)
  • right now, we can only find the counterfeit with 13 coins. with 12 coins, you can find the counterfeit and be able to tell if it’s heavier or lighter. i think the original puzzle was 12 coins, but i think the more coins the better the challenge. hehe

check out what zultimaz got @ frank and sons: FMA. full metal alchemist figurines.

got this link from /. : sex bots. in this article we’ll be exploring robot love. i made a couple of simple lego mindstorms robots and programmed them to reproduce — i.e. they can swap code. effectively, two robots come together, trade their genome, die, and two new robots are born in their place.

got this article from /. : Fahrenheit FBI – VoIP Wiretapping. The Federal Communications Commission voted 5-0 last week to prohibit businesses from offering broadband or Internet phone service unless they provide police with backdoors for wiretapping access. Formal regulations are expected by early next year. … In the police agencies’ original request, submitted in March, they asked the FCC to force surveillance back doors into instant-messaging programs and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications that do not use the traditional telephone network. The FCC politely declined, with Chairman Michael Powell saying those services were exempt from the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and that it was “unnecessary to identify future services and entities subject to” mandatory wiretapping requirements.

got this link from /. : Cell Phone with Built-in Projector. other similar products include: VKB and Canesta Keyboard. so reminds me of final fantasy – the spirits within when their whole control panel was a big hologram.

Selling a 14″ LCD

got tons of toys today! ungsunghero claimed how his toy came today also. i was VERY EXCITED. (if you know what toy he was talking about, you’d be excited too! don’t worry, you’ll find out what my toy is later on). UPS came by around 3pm-ish. they actually rang the bell, but no one heard, so they left the packages on the floor. thank god! or else i’d have to wait another day!!! well, got 2 boxes. 1 small and 1 GIGANTIC! opened the small one first and i got my IBM Optical Scroll Mouse. it was $5 after rebates and i was getting pretty mad @ the normal 2 button wheel mouse i was using. it’s like what they say, “Once you go optical, you can’t go back.” plus the wheel is always a bonus. get to scroll down those forums faster now. hehe. now time to open the mystery box! this was a 22x13x13″ box. Open it and i find… TONS OF PEANUTS!!! lol. Time to dig for the treasure. Way at the bottom I find… ATI ALL-IN-WONDER® RADEON™ 8500. (thought i was gonna say “more peanuts” huh?) hehe. it’s another Christmas present for me! I’m sorry i’m unable to disclose the price nor store I bought it at since i promised my friend to keep it a secret. but just say that i got it at a very cheap price. ^_^x too bad i won’t get to use it for another 18 days (yes i’m counting) cause my computer is back at the apartment. this is so SWEET!!! now i can have 2 TVs running on my computer simultaneously with 2 remotes. *drooooooools*

harrybons dropped by later in the afternoon. brought over my No One Lives Forever 2 which i asked him to help me buy @ Fry’s since it was only $5 after rebates. he came over leech my Hikaru no Go collection. episode 7-60 (6gb worth of anime, actually more since he borrowed some of them on cds). hehe. i also found out my firewire enclosure could act like a hub. it has 2 firewire ports in the back. i connected one end to his laptop and the other end to my sister’s computer and BOOM! XP detected a network connection and before you knew it, the were talking to each others computer transferring @ ~8MB/s. not exactly as fast as firewire speed as we hoped (sustained ~20MB/s), but it was good enough.

then of course, there was ungsunghero’s near death experience. he got to experience his power supply blow up right in front of him. mines blew up last year too, but i was in the shower when that happened. his computer automatically shut down and pushing the power yielded nothing. however the diagnostic LED was still on. so he was the cellphone with me while we tried to diagnose what was wrong. little behold who knew what was going to happen next. KABOOOM! the power supply blew up in his face. now he swears he’ll wear goggles and static wrist-wrap whenever he works on computers again. welp. problem found. now for the solution… which brings me to my eBay story:

i was auctioning off my sister’s 14″ LCD because my dad recently got her a 17″ LCD. the auction ended today on Sunday @ $167.50, however the highest bidder emails me and states that Best Buy is having one on sale for $150 and asks me to be fair and lower my price (including shipping) so it would be fair for him to buy it. i mean this is ridiculous. here are transcripts of the email the went through:

BUYER:

Hi <insert my name>, thanks for the response. I will try for the first time to pay through paypal but I have a simple request as a fellow student told me that in Sundays paper local Best Buy was seeling 14″ lcd’s at $149. instead of $199. I guess after the christmas they have reduced the price especially 14″ are not that popular as opposed to 15 or 17″. Further it is safer to buy locally but since I have made the bid I will prefer to buy it from you if you kindaly as a fair person reduce the price as I will be paying shipping in addition so it does not make sense to buy for lot more and then pay the shipping or I have no objection if you want to contact the next bidder and he is interested in buying for $165 and then I will send you the difference of $ 2.50. Please consider and let me know, thanks and have a nice week !

ME:

Hi,

I never caught your name, but I’m very sorry to hear that you would like to break your contract. As quoted from eBay:

Your bid is a contract – Place a bid only if you’re serious about buying the item. If you are the winning bidder, you will enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller. Seller assumes all responsibility for listing this item. You should contact the seller to resolve any questions before bidding. Auction currency is U.S. dollars ( US $ ) unless otherwise noted.

As a fellow college student myself, i can understand that money can become a problem. But that’s why I wouldn’t bid on anything I believe I would not buy at the price I bidded at. I’m sorry but I won’t be able to lower the price for you. I’ve already contacted the 2nd highest bidder. If he/she responds and is willing to take the offer, all will be great. Or else i’ll still have to hold you to the price you bidded.

Sincerely,
<insert my name>

BUYER:

Thanks <insert my name> for the consideration but you did not get my point on fairness if something is available for less. Technbically you are right but I asked you on a moral basis if you would be fair and that I would not object to your selling to anther person because it is much easier to just buy cheaper locally. Please let me know what the next bidder says I will pay you the difference. Thanks and have anice day

ME:

Hi,

How can I be fair if you’re the one that’s trying to get yourself out of this contract? Unlike some stores that has Lowest Price Gaurantees, eBay sellers do not unless stated otherwise. This has nothing to do with morals. I would like to ask you think if you were in my position and what you would do if someone who just won your auction asks you to be fair and lower the price for him cause he can get it cheaper somewhere else now. Now it’s my turn to ask you to be fair. Because if you’re trying to get out of this contract, I am screwed out of my eBay fees which is $7.43. I mean if this deal went through successfully, I’d be more than happy to pay those fees, but because you’re UNWILLING to complete your part of the contract, I lose that $7.43 to eBay with no compensation! I am now asking you to ask yourself if what you’re doing is morally justified.

Have a nice day. Maybe yours will be much better than mines.

Sincerely,
<insert my name>

BUYER:

Hi <insert my name>, you are a very fine man in that you have honored me by explaining your sitaution with Ebay instead of getting mad and I do not want you to lose any fee to Ebay. Please remember I honored you too by explaining that the monitor was now selling cheaper and it is only fair since you have used it to lower. Is it fair to pay more price and on top of that pay another $17. for shipping. No matter what I will pay your ebay fees and if you can be fair to come to the fair market price that will be nice and I will just buy or you can just pay the shipping that way we split.

I cerntainly like to trust you with respect to the good condition of the monitor. I just got a note book that does not have charger and the arrow keys do not work while the seller put on the ebay that it olny needed operating system. There is another man who has not sent me the cpu ven though got paid in october; these are additional reasons for me to think that sellers on Ebay are not really fair in many ways and it is better to just buy locally.

Please be fair and let me know how we can work it out so that you do not feel bad that I cost you any loss and I do not feel bad that I paid $ 34. over the local price. You be the judge and let me know. Thanks

ME:

Hi,

I agree it’s more beneficial for you to purchase it at Best Buy, but I do not agree that it’s fair to break a contract. It is a smarter thing to do, but it is unfair to me that you bidded on something that now you’re unwilling to pay at the agreed price. it is not fair for me to lower the price for you because there were other bidders who were willing to pay just a little bit less than what you bidded for my LCD monitor. it is unfair that you cheated the other bidders from what they could’ve gotten. I’ve decided to relist this item and will be going through the Non-Paying Bidder process to get my $5.23 final auction value fee back.

I’m sorry that you’ve encountered bad sellers on ebay and had unhappy experiences. but sellers are also afraid that bidders will go back on their word and not pay. unfortunately, you’re the first bidder I’ve had this problem with.

Once again, there is nothing i’m being unfair about. The price you agreed on is higher than a price you find locally now. Being unfair is to charge an unfair shipping price. Being unfair is to ship a dead item or an item different from the description. You paying the agreed price has nothing to do with unfairness although you may feel bad for paying extra. Like I said above, I’ll be relisting the item and will be filing a non-paying bidder form to obtain my ebay fees back.

welp, the story ends there for now. well, why did i introduce you to this story. well, it’s true that part of it was for entertainment, but the real reason was because i found a buyer! he said he needed it asap and wondered if i can ship it out overnight and he’ll pay the extra. i was cool with it. supposedly it was for her girlfriend who was coming back tomorrow and he wanted to give it to her. i was cool with that. OfficeMax has this $10 off coupon for shipping through airborne express so i went to the one in Pasadena… (wait rewind!) I called up ungsunghero and asked if he would like to go with me. i insisted that i’ll drive him to PC Club to buy a new power supply for his system. knowing how it feels to be without my computer for 2 DAYS made me pity his situation. after arriving @ OfficeMax, the lady quotes me $60 for Express delivery. i was airborne.com only quoted me $47. she says we’re sorry, but our systems do have differences and i can’t do anything about it. i took my package and left the place. decided to go with UPS or FedEx. called up my brother and asked him to find when the fone # of FedEx in City of Industry so i can find out when it closes. he was unable to locate the service center. thanks to ungsunghero’s cuz psychobreed, he told us FedEx closes @ 7pm. we were like cool! but the traffic on the 210 was nasty. it a lot better on the 605 and 60. got there @ 6:30 and found out that Overnight delivery ends @ 5:30. b00000000000. well, the fastest delivery to TX was by Thursday and hoping the buyer would find that acceptable (since there’s no delivery service on 1/1 new year’s). we then went over to PC Club and looked around the power supplies and the cases. ungsunghero was going to purchase a Allied 250W for $30 when the sale clerk pointed that they were having a promotion on the Allied 300W for $20. he was like cool bought 2! went home and now his computer boots! w00h00! ^_^x

wow, this has been a long entry. hope u didn’t fall asleep halfway reading it. hehe ;p

Fixing Biological Clock

sorry about missing yesterday’s entry. if u didn’t know already, i was fixing my biological clock. been going to sleep @ 10am and waking up @ 5pm for a couple of days. decided i had to fix my clock before my final on thursday @ 8am. procedure was painful where i felt drowsy most of monday. went to msticazn to borrow his “Minority Report” and chilled there while he studied for his final. i was waiting for my review session to start @ 6pm. oh yeah the weather has been going crazy the past few days. showers on and off. when i started walking to his place @ 2pm, the sun was out and now rain at all. then it started sprinkling. i had my umbrella in my backpack (smart thing i do now due to berkeley’s weird weather schedule). then it stopped, but the sun didn’t return. 3 blocks away from msticazn’s house, it began pouring like crazy! my hamtaro (on my backpack) was completely soaked! apparently msticazn is a big mashimaro fan like me! weeeeeeeeeee! i also got to try out kharizma’s famous sugar cookies. they were good (apparently msticazn and his apartment-mates were afraid she’d poison the cookies so she could steal their PS2, hehe). review session was horrible. fell asleep a couple of times. andrew called and his keys were somehow with his auto-mechanic and needed me home to let him in. the rest of the night didn’t really ring a bell to me for i fell asleep sometime later.

today was pretty cool. went to see the opening of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers @ the new AMC that justed opened in emeryville. this theater just opened today @ midnight for LOTR’s opening show. friend helped get us tickets for the show and the movie was awesome! a lot better than the 1st one in my opinion. they were giving out free posters to everyone (which i lost/forgot @ the theater) and they were throwing out t-shirts to ppl. lydia got one. at first i thought they were LOTR t-shirts, but apparently just AMC t-shirts. b000000. then one lucky girl got an LOTR action figure.

i wonder if fantasy reads my website. well if he does, he’ll know that i finally know who his hime is. thanks for sending me the CAA video scrapbook, it helped my search. ^_^x long story short, fantasy has been head over heels for this girl and everytime he gets dumped multiple times and each and every time would be coming on to #calnime and claim suicide. welp, finally like the 8th time he claims that they’re broken up, he says it’s for real, and i ask for her picture just to see exactly who made fantasy so crazy. he claims he promised the girl not to reveal anything. welp i honor that, but i also have my sources. -_^x

groups have been pumping out anime like crazy for the past 2 days. another Hikaru no Go and another Dragon Drive back to back! then ToriyamaWorld released a new HNG chapter. sigh… even i don’t have enough time to finish watching all of these. hehe. g’nite ^_^zzz

Faulty RAM

cd-mcc and slapshot came by today and we help troubleshoot his computer system which has been dead for the past month? maybe more? apparently after several motherboard replacements (4 times?), we found out today that it was in fact the ram’s problem. stupid generic ram, swore to god i’d never trust them anymore, after i found out it was what caused my system to crash every other day, to reboot automatically. after he successfully installed win98se then upgraded to winxp, we watched The Lawnmower Man. weird movie i’ve gotta say. interesting, but the computer graphix and design i must say were extremely lacking. then again, this movie was probably made like 10 years ago? supposedly there’s several sequels to this movie. i don’t intend to watch them @ this point, but who knows what might come up. ^_^x

then i watched Harry Potter – Chamber of Secrets (once again in dvd quality). it’s a good fun movie. meant for kids and family. then again, if you’ve read the book, u might not enjoy this as much since you already know who opened the chamber of secrets and who Tom Riddle is… ^_^x

oh yeah, when cd-mcc came back, he made up another tycoon. after reading these 2 tycoons, i think you’ll have a general sense of what type of humor he likes. ^_^x

thanks to lsiymle for donating this kawaiiiiiiii link link. the baby is so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! u can chk out more of their cool stuff on their homepage.

today was anime galore! new Hikaru no Go, Dragon Drive, Samurai Deeper Kyo and much much more! here’s some cute shots i captured from them:

Locked Out

wow, this past few days have been just an extended weekend for me with no hw and all play. liam came over today and we watched “Die Another Day” (dvd quality). above average action movie in my opinion. awesome sports cars, but the idea of that big gun was stolen from somewhere else which i don’t remember right now. most likely an anime i saw.

the worst thing happened to me today. after dinner, i got thirsty and decided to go to the convenience store next door. right after i closed my door, i realized i forgot my keys. worse of all, i was only armed with $2.25 (1 $1-bill and 5 quarters). this meant i had no cellphone, and no wallet (no access to soda = no access to computers). i went upstairs to my apartment manager’s room to see if she was in (but no one answered). i then went downstairs to check if snakescott was in, but apparently he went to study for his final. i didn’t really have much of a choice but wait for someone i knew return. meanwhile i was getting more and more thirsty. when i left the apartment complex i left a piece of cardboard keeping the front door ajar. swung right and bought myself an Arizona Ice Tea: Raspberry Flavor. Quickly returned and sat on the stairs awaiting snakescott or my apartment manager. oh yeah, at this point i’ve tried calling the emergency # on the telephone pad outside the building. both times i got an answering machine on my apartment manager’s cellphone and both times the telephone pad hung up right after it beeped for leaving a message. i couldn’t even leave a msg. =( so 2.5hrs i sat there, seeing people come up and down the stairs. a couple friend brought back a computer monitor. then there were these 2 guys that came to pick up their girlfriends. meanwhile i sat there in a t shirt and shorts (while it was raining outside). oh yeah, to keep myself busy, i was playing with the quarters i had and trying to enumerate the stuff i learned from cs70 (discrete math and one of the subjects we learned were probability and biased coins). i flipped the 6 coins i had (now 4 quarters, 1 nickel, and 1 dime after i bought my drink) 13x. 2 outta those 13x landed on all heads! what’s the possibility of that! hehe. then i was rolling the coins down the stairs. finally i heard the garage door opened. i was ooooooh! i sat there staring @ the door for what seemed like eternity. the my apartment manager walks in. i was like, “YES! Thank goodness!” i walked up to her and explained my situation and she said, “oh my, i’ll go open the door for you after i drop my groceries.” i offered to help her carry them up and she gladly accepted my offer. after she opened the door, she suggested i make a spare key and keep one in my wallet just in case. also another suggestion she made was that she’s clumsy like this too, so instead of locking the doorknob which u can do from the inside, she locks the the top latch, which requires a key if you’re trying to lock the door. good suggestions i must say. ^_^x glad that’s over.

finally the anime world is trickling back to life. Naruto 11 was released today. me very happy. me very bored for the past week. ^_^x
