TROPHY CASE

Comparison of distances covered by drivers in 2011 by rubaisportin formula1

At least Lotus doesn't seem to be included?

Grand Theft Auto III on sale for 99 Cents on Google Play by ragflanin Android

[–]Vilkku 1 point2 points ago

Fairly sure it requires a Tegra, or something along those lines. I got the app before they fixed the copatibility on Play, and I'm still waiting for my refund (contacted both Google and Rockstar). So no, it's just not compatibility being wrong, it doesn't actually work.

EDIT: I'd like to clarify that even if I am wrong about what the requirements actually are, I do know from experience that it does not work with my Nexus S.

Looking for an online planner, specifics inside. by Mr_B_86in techsupport

[–]Vilkku 0 points1 point ago

I think there is a year view option in the Labs, it's a tab in the settings. Never tried it though, so I don't know what options it actually gives you.

What would classify as a cold day in your case? -10 degrees C?

Backup phone without root? by sheepsleepdeepin Android

[–]Vilkku 0 points1 point ago

You can use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351

However, word of advice: take two separate backups, one with SD included and one without. Also manually backup SD.

Why? I only took one backup, with SD, and I noticed after I had wiped my phone that the backup was incomplete (it stopped somewhere in the middle of backing up SD, and because it does it in alphabetical order based on package names the backup didn't have most of my apps, as the SD comes under android.)

Google Chrome is now the most popular browser in the world. by aridon_01in technology

[–]Vilkku 0 points1 point ago

I wonder how they classify users? I mean, I used to use Hotmail, and I still use that address for my Windows Live ID, so I guess I'm technically a user? Though I haven't used anything but Gmail since I got a beta invite years and years ago.

CyanogenMods Music Player "Apollo" now available. by TallGlassin Android

[–]Vilkku 0 points1 point ago

Same here, but this looks like a great player just to use for that occasional audio file (if I'm not just missing something there is way to do this unless you have Google Music on android?).

Am I the only one who has trouble attaching control surfaces? by W0LV3Nin KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Vilkku 2 points3 points ago

I think your issue might be that by default they are not rotated correctly - you can now rotate pieces with WSADQE before placing them. They are best placed on the back of wings, think how real airplanes work.

I had it open in the background and didn't even realize it ended o.O I was just starting to wonder why it took so long for them to start the next game.

suggestions for the report feature. (X-Post from /r/IdeasfortheAdmins) by mattm4473in modhelp

[–]Vilkku 1 point2 points ago

I don't think it would help if people are reporting just to troll or whatever, they would just put gibberish there. It might stop those who think the report button is a "mega downvote", however.

How do I open a word document in my browser? by alfosaurusin techsupport

[–]Vilkku 2 points3 points ago

I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to do? Why would you want to open a document with a browser, are you making a webpage?

Anyway, when saving it in word, there should be an option to save it as HTML. After that it should simply be a matter of double-clicking the file and it should open in your default browser.

ELI5: Why do we change the name of countries in the English language? ie: Deustchland - Germany; Nihon/Nippon - Japan; Espana - Spain by bfelixin explainlikeimfive

[–]Vilkku 1 point2 points ago

Well, that depends as well...

For example, some kings, with their "real" name and their name in Finnish:

George (any of them) - Yrjö
Carl Gustaf - Kaarle Kustaa

Also, every single name in the bible is probably localized as well :P

[–]Vilkku 1 point2 points ago

It's not just English. I think many languages have their own names for many countries, especially neighbouring ones. If nothing else, it might be spelled differently.

Some examples in Finnish and Swedish:

Sweden - Ruotsi - Sverige
Russia - Venäjä - Ryssland
Germany - Saksa - Tyskland
France - Ranska - Frankrike
Estonia - Viro - Estland
Austria - Itävalta - Österrike

Some example of differences in the way it is pronounced:

America - Amerikka - Amerika Japan - Japani - Japan

Using a third monitor by Homer_Simpson_in techsupport

[–]Vilkku -1 points0 points ago

You only have to use crossfire or SLI if you want to "combine" the cards, i.e. use both cards for one output. If you simply want to use one of the cards to power a 3rd display you don't have to worry about crossfire or SLI.

Space Plane Building tips? by Melloverturein KerbalSpaceProgram

If you just want to get it up in the air you can use the nosecone advanced SAS and enable it, it will be steady as a rock. Other than that, what the others have said, balance is key.

F1 fans = bad tippers by pitiful_pulpin formula1

[–]Vilkku 3 points4 points ago

This is exactly the point of the article. I assume this is in a paper in the US in preparation of the US GP, btw.

People come from there all over the place. The waiters will be expecting people to tip them, as that is the custom. The fans, like you or me, won't necessarily know that you are supposed to do that, so the article tries to inform the local public of that fact.

When I'm at home, I never tip, of course not, it's not the culture here. But if I go to some place where I know it is expected of you, you can be sure that I'll do it, unless there is a reason for me not to.

[–]Vilkku 2 points3 points ago

Except for the fact that prices and salaries in places where tipping is a custom are adjusted for the fact that you usually tip, i.e. your waiter might not get that much money from you unless you tip.

Had any time to play some games lately? More to the point, have you played Diablo 3, and what if your opinion on the fact that everything goes via Battle.net?

Is it possible to make a post only visible to subscribers? by easycigin modhelp

[–]Vilkku 0 points1 point ago

Well, yeah, I know because I was able to see it using my method :P

But anyway, if it works for you, that's great! I just wanted to make sure you knew what it really does (and doesn't) do.

[–]Vilkku 0 points1 point ago

I'd like to point out that while the solution provided by /u/gavin19 will produce the desired result visually, it will not truly hide the post - non-subscribers can still see if if they turn off the custom stylesheet in one way or another.

I don't know if this is a deal-breaker for you or not.

How Diablo III's Solo Experience Reveals A Hollow Game by limbclockin Games

[–]Vilkku 5 points6 points ago

As he stated, he hasn't played much Diablo and he doesn't really understand the whole thing about it.

Difficulty in Diablo is not just difficulty, it's progression of the game. Every character has to play trough normal before they can do the later "difficulties". The harder difficulties are tuned for much higher levels, better skill and understanding of your class and other things which would just not simply be possible as level 1. The goal in Diablo after all is to improve your character, so instead of having to keep on grinding or having to have a very long storyline you simply redo it with added challenges. That's how D2 worked as well.
