-yay new icon. [livejournal.com profile] annwyd ftw.

-No reply from Plagiarist-chan so far. Hmm.

-Dried blood is crunchy in a very ew way. Also, when you burp blood, it smells horrible. Also, I'm hungry. Dumb missing tooth.

-I'm going to sleep over at Kineko's for the weekend. Leaving tomorrow~ *^^*
Kin, je sais pas ce que je pourrai manger, c'est pas encore cicatrisé. Rien qui nécessite de mâcher beaucoup en tout cas. T_T

-What is wrong with this sentence: -> "Threesome (Person in the Middle is the loved)" ? I'll tell you what's wrong. THREESOME =/= TWO TWOSOMES THAT HAPPEN TO OVERLAP KTHNXBYE. Don't sell your polyamory/timeshare "aww, but X is so amazing he DESERVES both! as long as they never ever touch each other in any not-impersonal way" as a threesome. rrgh. ~__~ Especially when one of your examples is SasuNaruSaku "with naruto as the loved one" no no no. I understand and respect your right to like narusaku and sasunaru better, but where in hell does it make sense to have them all in a threesome even though Sakura somehow doesn't love Sasuke anymore? D: Either she wouldn't accept it, or SOME form of her old feelings would resurface. Also, Sasuke is SELFISH. If he only wants Naruto, he won't compromise. He won't hate Sakura or bitchfight over Naruto, but if he doesn't want Sakura, then it's very much going to be nothing more than a timeshare, ever. Even then, I'd see him breaking up with Naruto so Sakura can have him and go off in his tower of loneliness before I see him sharing with her if not only he doesn't have any feelings for her, but isn't ready to accept her feelings and closeness. With some trios (see Urahara/Yoruichi/Soi Fong) the two-love-one approach might work, but Team Seven is way too entangled for that bullshit.

-I have a cyborgsuke scene more or less written but it needs serious smoothing out and I can't find the brainpower for it. ~___~;;; But hey, you tech-minded people can help me.

"You're right, I'm biased. But I only see two reasons for Naruto not to have any ID. Either he did something horrible, or he knows something he shouldn't."

Sasuke agrees with her. His army subroutines do, too -- and for a second, he doesn't know whether he really should allocate more ((RAM?)) to the program keeping them at bay.


Is RAM the word I want? Somehow I don't think so, but I can't translate the french term. It's like power of operation or ability to calculate or something like that.

-The taste of old blood is also pretty ew.

But I want to enjoy the crazy vicariously through you. Sad.

Dried blood in mouth is x_x

Cyborgsuke scene can use RAM since it's the memory used to process stuff, I think that's what Sasuke is doing, I'm not up with techno babble.

I believe RAM is the word you'd want there. It sounds right, anyway. Then again, there's a great deal I don't know about computers, so someone else may be able to think of something better.

And dried blood is bleh.

[identity profile] ina-noranaya.livejournal.com 2007-01-18 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Fresh blood doesn't taste so bad, though, at least in small quantities. It just stains everything.

And I think I'd go with what the more computer-geeky type people are advising, "CPU time." I'd never heard the term before (which just goes to show how much I know), but it sounds perfectly plausible.

En fait, en tant qu'informaticienne, j'aurais simplement parlé d'assigner priorité plus basse aux programmes qu'il veut faire dormir. La plupart des OS gèrent tout seul le pourcentage de CPU alloué à tel ou tel programme, en fonction de ses besoins et de ses priorités (après, la façon dont sont gérées les propriétés peut être très différentes, . L'allocation de la RAM est faite en temps réel sur les systèmes modernes : quand un programme en demande, on la lui donne, et s'il n'y en a pas assez de libre on transfère simplement les données les moins utilisées de la RAM sur le disque dur (dans ce qu'on appelle le 'swap'). Si on a un programme très prioritaire, ses données peuvent prendre quasi toute la RAM (hors celle utilisée par l'OS lui-même bien sûr) puisque les autres données, inutilisées pendant qu'il tourne, se retrouvent reléguées sur le disque dur. Quand il a fini de procéder, les autres programmes recommencent à tourner, mais au moment de se lancer les données sur le disque dur doivent être remises dans la RAM, ce qui prend du temps, et aussi un peu de CPU, ce qui ralentit la machine. Ce phénomène, le swapping, c'est le cauchemar de l'infographiste, et c'est pour ça que pour bosser confortablement avec Toshop, il faut beaucoup, beaucoup de RAM, plus que de la puissance de calcul (qui n'aide vraiment que pour les gros filtres).
Heu, désolée pour la digression, ça fait vraiment fille qui étale sa science là :P
C'est mon côté prof (pourtant je suis pas prof... mais j'aime bien former des gens quand même).

SasuNaruSaku "with naruto as the loved one" Wait. WTF? o.O

Okay. So let me get this straight. Sakura chose Naruto over Sasuke? But, but... CANON! *cries* I can see her growing to love Naruto, but she'd never choose him over Sasuke. This is why the threesome is so cool. Nobody gets cut out of the tangle that is team 7. *beats idiots to death with thawed fish*

In other news, I have no idea what word you're looking for. I think I heard someone refer to system priority once... Sorry I can't be more help!

Unfortunately, I have never seen a NaruSaku that handled their friendship with Sasuke well, thus leading to my complete avoidance of the ship. I have the strange feeling this doesn't help me find a good one... u_u

But it's more humiliating to die due to head trauma from a big, floppy fish than a frozen one. *nods seriously*

"Threesome (Person in the Middle is the loved)"

Well, I guess that's mildly better than the fanbrat who labelled their "Sakura is hated by Sasuke and only puts up with her in the middle because Naruto wants to touch her boobies, but she really hates him and only puts up with Naruto because she wants Sasuke's cock" atrocity a NaruSakuSasu.

Or that idiot who labelled their "Naruto is Sakura's boyfriend but she treats him shitty so Hinata jumps in to heal the pain" fic a NaruHinaSaku.

LOVE TRIANGLE /=/ THREESOME.

If you're talking about processing power, then 'CPU time' is the phrase you want. Also, milk and/or bread might help with the burping blood thing. Swallowing too much blood's liable to make you throw up, too, which isn't good for the tooth-holes. Not that there's much of a choice. :/

STOP TALKING ABOUT THE BLOOD.

Failed Threesomes are teh sad :'(

What about the almost canon pairing of ItaKasame/ItaTobi? (See, nobody likes Tobi but Itachi, but Kisame's been crushing on Itachi since Ch. 1...)
Err... is there any such thing as "impersonal touching?
"He passed the salt shaker. Their hands touched. Hesetently, their gazes met and mad, passionate eyesex ensued for a good two hours. Neither one of them moved a muscle, but they both later found themselves to be pregnant. When they atmitted it to eachother, all previous emotional wounds were erased until they were needed for an angsting contest. Our beloved pair were feeling adventerous, so they started up again, this time passing the pepper shaker..."
Last night I found a doujin bashing (uncompromising) NaruSaku shippers, using the most blatent almost-logic I've seen in several weeks. It ended with Sakura knocking the artist out and the two of them going to find Sasuke with renewed gusto. It had reminded me that no ship is perfect. (there are just some that are better than others. KimiLeeGaa!)

Was that this comic (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44472530/)? You have to remember that the artist specifically explained she was only bashing the really obnoxious NaruSaku shippers and made sure to mention that she knew cool ones. Also, I've actually seen people using all the arguments she mocked. So I find it hard to get angry at that comic.

Yes. Yes it is, and once more your data-gathering skills leave me in awe.
I am keeping that in mind. When I found it, all it was was the doujin itself, (that, and a bunch of other doujin from different artists, but this was about the only one worth mentioning) so I didn't know the context. *Goes of to read DA profile*
It had me in tears by the time I finished reading it. ^^'
I've seen people use several mock-worthy arguments from that (mostly the bit with Yamoto-sempai), but no one person has used them all before.

I KILLED ASUKA-SEMPAI!! oh, dear. Sorry? :(

The good, the bad and the, uh, guy with the "bone"? (you know that that fight was just a bit of foreplay that got out of control. "your spear cannot penetrate my 'shield'!")
How could you hurt yourself with 'the best medicine'? I swear, they need to put labels on these things. "WARNING: do not take with sore tooth, or if operating a dirigible. Possible side effects may include pain in cheek, light headedness, and in some cases fiery death" You don't have any blimp-like aircraft parked on your roof, do you?
After a long and carnally satisfying lunch, our main character went strolling about for no concrete reason. He happened to come across his undeclared-yet-totally-obvious-to-anyone-who-disregarded-plausibility-rival standing around minding his own business in a nefarious manner. To protect any innocents from being attacked by this person, Our Hero attacked preemptivly using unnecessarily god-like powers. Regardless of the collateral damage, the standers-by cheered him and gave him a cabbage for no apparent reason. As it turns out, this was the very cabbage that the Rival was thinking about buying for dinner. It must be buried at sea in a lead-lined box!

I'm not a computer expert or anything, but I'm going to cast my vote behind the people saying that "CPU time" is what you want. "Processor power" would also work for a less specific phrase.

Ugh, people who don't know what the meaning of "threesome" is. >:( If it's "the one in the middle is the loved one," that's just two pairings that happen to overlap, not a threesome. :P And it would not work with SasuNaru and NaruSaku, ugh.

I admit, I tend to like threesomes that have "pivots"--a character who is the central emotional figure that draws the other two, if that makes any sense. I have trouble seeing Team 7 OT3 in any other way--Naruto and Sakura love each other and make good friends, but so much of their passion is devoted to Sasuke that he's always going to be the "pivot" for me. But all the same, it's a triangle, not a threesome, if the two other characters don't also have some degree of a romantic relationship with each other. And in the case of NaruSasuSaku, Sasuke may be the emotional center of the pairing, but once they're all together, well. Naruto and Sakura are just too comfortable with each other to not wind up in bed together occasionally in that situation.

I hope you feel better soon. D:

Random Access Memory, the volatile memory used to temporarily store information for processing. This is the fastest type of memory for the computer.

Basically it's what runs the programs on your computer. If you don't have enough, your computer runs slowly (or in some cases, probably, not at all).

(Oh dear! My nerdy bits are showing! XD)

Sorry, but I'm agreeing with anyone else who said ram.

[identity profile] mitsuhachi.livejournal.com 2007-01-19 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
My boy, who is a com-sci major, says that it'd be 'processing power' if you want the calculations to be done quickly and it'd be "ram" if you want to process a lot of information.

On the other thing, since you seem to be talking about re-arranging the priority of his different programs, yeah? Which I'm not sure is actually something that happens in computers, since they work on everything more or less equally at the same time as I understand it, so probably either term would be equally valid.

I hope that was helpful?

With unix based systems you can give some processes higher priority (more cycles per second) manually as well as automatically. Windows does it in a more hands off manner, when you do things like convert wav files to mp3 or rip CDs "in the background" you're telling windows it's okay to give the programs you are actively using a higher priority if they need it.

System resources? That sounds better than 'ram', but then that's just me.

My condolences for your tooth, or rather the gaping hole where your tooth used to be. When I had mine taken out they had to cut them out so they just stiched the holes up. Although... it was kinda gross to find myself chewing on them when they started to fall out.

Replying from a convention to say that I think what you are looking for is "CPU cycles". RAM is memory, not computations. Nothing happens in RAM, stuff is just stored there until it's needed by the CPU, the reason complex programs need more RAM is because they have more information they need to keep stored "close at hand."

Think of RAM as a really convenient shelf right next to you with the stuff you need to use often and quickly. The CPU is you and each thought is one CPU cycle.

(Anonymous) 2007-01-20 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
CPU time. A processor can't actually do two things at once (although two processors can) so it cycles through all the programs, devoting a few milliseconds of time to each one in turn, to give the appearance of multitasking. So if you want a program to run faster, you give it more CPU time per cycle, which slows down other things but speeds that program up.
