Players can activate any stance while knocked down. Mechanically, it sounds like the attack should be going through, given that if a player activates, for example, Return, while another player is using Power Attack on them, even though they are no longer adjacent, the attack will connect.

Python

k, so

i need to call a python script from a Drupal server. The call needs to happen when a node is saved via a computed field cache.

that doesn't really mean anything to you unless you know drupal, so here's what you can help me with:

<?
$pythonOut = `python C:\EntrezToOBO_vanilla.py $node_field_item['value']`;
$display = (string) $pythonOut;
?>

$node_field_item['value'] holds a value that I'm passing. $display will be what is output to HTML.

why doesn't this work? the file path is irrelevant for the most part, but know that it is located within the web server and the reference does find the file. ··· Danny Pew Pew 21:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I can see the mistake, you didn't carry the 1! Frosty 23:00, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

for($i = 0; $i <= $count; $i++){    // loop ran by $i...
    if(count($list[$i]) > 0){
      $compare2 = (string) $list[$i][0];
      if($compare2 == 'id: '.$id){
        $count2 = count($list[$i]);
        while($count2 > 0 and (string) $list[$i][0] != '[Term]'){
          if(substr((string) $list[$i][0], 0, 4) == 'is_a'){
            $moreTerms[] = substr((string) $list[$i][0], 6, 10);
          }
          $i++;    // increment $i inside loop.
        }
      }
    }

You increment $i in two places. Not sure if that was intentional. Kinda hard to debug code when you don't comment the lines, nor tell us the what your function is SUPPOSED to do, nor the actual error. Also of note, I don't technically know PHP, but it looks enough like perl to me. StatMan 05:32, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

If its a syntax error, I can see some cases where you use '!=', and others '!==', and one case of '==='. Is that a special thing in PHP? StatMan 05:36, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

As a note, it only happens when you check boolean logic, so it must be special.

Yeah.. I'm terrble about commenting. Basically, scan is recursively checking a file for the parental nodes for a set of given nodes and returning an array of those parental nodes. getGO is handling all other procedures, primarily building the list of initial nodes from a given Entrez GeneID by comparing that ID to a file that contains a selection of IDs and their corresponding Gene Ontology terms. I'll try to comment more thoroughly in a bit if anyone wants to give it a shot.

The double-incrementation of $i is to find all parental terms, prefixed by "is_a", of a found term until another term is declared by '[Term]'. I couldn't think of a better way of a better way to do it given the non-regular spacing of the values.

In PHP, !== and === are strict comparison operators, meaning the values must be equal AND must be of the same type, whereas == and != only compare value. The best example is that if I return an (int) 0 and compare it to a (boolean) FALSE using non-strict operators, the result is true. (FALSE is just boolean-type 0 and TRUE is just boolean-type 1) If I use strict comparison, it's false.

Seeing as that was a cohesive thought, I'm gonna assume you're actually trying to not make sense. The problem with that is it classifies you as a bad troll, and bad trolls, in general, have some form of autism or mild-but-apparent social disorder. Transitively, that would imply that you do have a congenital defect, however, which contradicts my initial statement. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Also, if you continue to post without making sense, I'll be forced to immediately remove your comments as violations of NPA, since I consider any senseless or poorly worded comments to be a personal attack on me. :< ··· Danny Pew Pew 22:37, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Thats a really fast opinion if I may say so. First, do not ever connect people with autism if you dont know them, that is just a sick thing to do. Further, dont judge people on their English if it isnt their common language. And next, its not difficult to understand that this started because you reverted my edit because a personal opinion. Why is this easy to understand? We never said something before against each other and I never messed with your edits. And to judge this topic as a personal attack is just weird, because I never placed an insult... Right? -- Cyan 22:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I consider any post lacking in common sense to be an insult. Also, more than 1 in 20 people have autism. The fact that you're posting on this wiki with a registered account puts you in a smaller minority than that when compared to the general population. A much, much smaller minority. Having some form of autism is, in most cases, a cause for shyness and social awkwardness, which, not surprisingly, leads many people to try to interact socially on the internet. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out 1 in 10 or even 1 in 5 people who post here regularly have some form. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if it turned out I had some form.

Try to pick your battles a bit more carefully.

Also, if you had responded to my initial comment with clarity and/or some explanation of your initial comment, I probably wouldn't be too particularly frustrated with you. Hell, if you'd posted in your native language I would've had an easier time deciphering the meaning. ··· Danny Pew Pew 22:59, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I have no problems in my social life, thank you, all is well there. I just dont like it when people connect someone with a handicap, because I know how difficult it can be to have on (I had on). Mostly, the people who say that have no idea what it actually is, I see that you are not like them.

Ah well, why you reverted my edit?

Oh, and I mentioned you have no problems with Dutch? Well, too bad for you, because Im not switching back, how more I try to communicate in English, how better it is.. -- Cyan 23:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I reverted your edit because "my house" is not a globally recognized place. If you'd like to list your town of residence, I wouldn't see an issue with that, as I'm certain it would take far less than 7 months to get anywhere in the Netherlands.

Also, I don't fluently speak Dutch, no, but I've studied enough language to know how to interpret machine translation most of the time. The problem with your writing was your attempt at using colloquial English, which is beyond the grasp of most native English-speakers, particularly when it comes to the internet where grammar plays an important role.

I have no problem conversing with you in English, and I'll be happy to point out grammatical and spelling errors, such as the phrase, "...how more I try [...], how better it is." This should be phrased as "...the more I try [...], the better it is." Though, from a grammatical standpoint, even that isn't perfect, but it's far more functional. ··· Danny Pew Pew 23:48, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, dan doen we dit dus even speciaal voor jou. Ik had het over mijn huis, niet over mijn woonplaats, omdat A. dat al genoeg zegt, aangezien je niet weet waar het is kan het overal zijn, wat in meerdere gevallen kan betekenen dat afstand en reistijd oneindig zijn, B. omdat we natuurlijk wel aan privacy beleid doen, en C. ik in dit geval het zeggen van 'huis' beter vond passen omdat de mensen er nu een eigen interpretatie aan kunnen geven, wat betekend dat tijd en afstand voor iedereen verschillend is (natuurlijk worden ze wel een beetje gestuurd omdat ik op mijn pagina heb staan dat ik uit Nederland kom).

Verder zou je misschien het woord 'colloquial' even aan mij duidelijk willen maken, ik denk dat mn Engelse kennis hier wat gaten vertoond. Het zou namelijk goed kunnen dat ik dan wel helemaal begrijp wat je opgeschreven hebt en dat ik er dan ook wat mee kan doen, wat er waarschijnlijk voor zorgt dat mijn Engelse vaarigheden er op vooruit gaan.

Ik ben blij dat je me gewezen hebt op enkele spel fouten, dit zijn zeker dingen waar ik voortaan op ga letten. Als je verder nog taal fouten tegen komt in de stukken die ik heb geschreven mag je ze gerust aan me laten weten, daar ben ik je dan alleen maar dankbaar voor!

Ik hoop dat wat ik allemaal neer heb gezet te volgen is. Als iets niet duidelijk is zou ik proberen het zo goed mogelijk in het Engels te vertalen. Ik ben altijd onder de indruk hoevel buitenlanders van Nederlands begrijpen, aangezien we een nogal lastige spelling en grammatica hebben. -- Cyan 00:07, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

That makes some sense. I still stand by my reasoning, but it makes sense.

"Colloquial" means "slang", more or less. Most phrasings in English or colloquial usages. Even the phrase "more or less" is colloquial to an extent. The fact that you understood everything else that I wrote is quite impressive given how ridiculous the English language is in practice when it is not native. I, myself, don't know Dutch, but I am learning Swedish which is somewhat similar. I'm also fluent in Spanish, but Spanish is quite an easy language to learn.

I'm more than happy to point out mistakes like that. I probably won't bother much with punctuation, since that's an entirely different point of study with the English language, but I'll gladly point out misused words and colloquialisms.

Also, no matter how difficult Dutch is, I think the Fins have you beat. At least a lot of Dutch words have Anglo sounds, making it possible to pick up on the meaning of a sentence even without a translation sometimes. ··· Danny Pew Pew 00:26, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Dank je! Dat is nu wel duidelijk geworden. Het voordeel van Nederland is inderdaad dat veel woorden lijken op Engelse, Duitse, Scandinavische of zelfs Franse woorden. Toch blijkt dat het grammaticaal leren spreken en schrijven een stuk lastiger te zijn dan veel mensen verwachten. Uit onderzoek blijkt zelfs dat veel Nederlanders zelf de taal niet goed grammaticaal kunnen spreken en/of schrijven. Gelukkig heb ik daar zelf nooit veel last van gehad, maar misschien daardoor had en heb ik veel meer moeite met Engels. Het komt vaak voor dat ik in de problemen kom met zinsopbouw, omdat dat heel anders in elkaar zit dan bij Nederlands (vind ik persoonlijk).

Fins is inderdaad een ongelovelijk moeilijke taal om te leren. Ik heb me er zelf maar niet aan gewaagd, maar ik heb van wat vrienden gehoord dat het echt heel erg lastig is. Ik heb trouwens nooit geweten dat Zweeds zo op Nederlands lijkt, naar mijn eigen inzicht zit er toch een behoorlijk verschil in. Maar misschien komt dat meer omdat ik er van uit ga dat Zweeds erg op Deens lijkt en daar zit gewoon niet veel logica in.

Nederlands heeft trouwens nog heel wat meer lastige kanten. We hebben enorm veel dialecten waar je echt niet wijs van word. Zeten we een Noord-Nederlander die gronings dialect spreekt naast een Zuid-Nederlander die limburgs spreekt (we zetten er voor de grap ook nog een Fries bij uit regio Stellingwerf) da is het zeker dat ze elkaar niet (volledig) kunnen verstaan.

Dan als laatst: zou ik mogen weten uit welk land je komt? Ben nu toch wel benieuwd. (Of valt dat ook onder het privacy beleid? ^^) -- Cyan 00:41, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Did you know?

You can use virtual directories in IIS to re-route file locations. Meaning if you're not using your root for anything but a redirect, you can still have it serve up robots.txt and favicon.ico. It's pretty fantastic imo. ··· Danny Pew Pew

No, I didn't. Karate Jesus 21:38, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Stop

Just stop harassing User:Marcus The Cube. Further incidences will result in a ban. Stop dragging PvXWiki crap here. -- Wyn talk 09:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

1 post isn't harassment. Not to mention, it could be pertinent to any other discussions seeing as it wasn't just PvX crap. I'll happily post links to whatever I feel like, particularly if it is pertinent. Not to mention, I hope you realize I could give less of a fuck if you ban me. I'd like to see the reasoning behind that, as well as what other users would feel about such an imprudent action. I'd also like to see how an RfR for you would go. ··· Danny Pew Pew

Security Question

While you aren't wrong about anything, Anet was desperate to get the hack-ins to stop, or to at least slow down. The people who acquired account information from fan-sites likely didn't look for those accounts' "My character names" on guru - GW didn't require that information to steal accounts. The character name is an extra layer of security. Your email and password are both still required. Security didn't get worse at all. Knowing someone's character names doesn't make it any easier to guess their pass than it did before. ~Shard 09:08, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, no, of course not. It's just that matter that either the people behind this are simply doing it for better publicity or they're really not good at what they do. It won't take a whole lot of extra data-mining to come up with an IGN. Just check that user's posts for "ign" and ta-da! =/ ··· Danny Pew Pew 09:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Then remove the IGN info ;o ---Chaos- (moo) -- 09:53, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

All signs point to there being an issue with NCSoft's account system security; the "hacks" aren't actually people datamining login info, but instead people randomly getting access to NCSoft master accounts. Since it's random, asking for a character name is actually quite an effective measure to mitigate the problem. (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 18:47, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

What signs are these? Everything I've seen points to social engineering and datamining. I would love to see actual evidence that this is ArenaNet's fault, but I've yet to see any. "Randomly getting access to NCSoft master accounts" just sounds pretty impossible. ··· Danny Pew Pew 19:13, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Can anyone spot any issues? It runs cleanly and I'm about to modify it so it runs in a continuous loop on 15 minute intervals. I'd just like to optimize it as much as possible before letting it loose on a test run. ··· Danny Pew Pew 20:57, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

with the recent exposure of .dll injection and use of some AutoIt scripts

What do you think this has done for the efforts of a Codex bot? --RIDDLE 04:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I haven't looked at the docs/API too much yet, but I'd imagine it would be much, much easier. If it's supported by the API, I may even be able to write it in almost no time at all. If it's not, myself or someone with preferably more free time would have to edit and recompile the source. This wouldn't be terribly difficult, but it would require some knowledge of C/C++ and some understanding of how everything else works. ··· Danny Pew Pew

On second thought - having not looked at the API or source yet - I could be wrong about the complexity of the dll itself. If it's simply accessing controls inside of the client, it would be quite easy to find and access the skill list, or at least I assume it would be. My initial thoughts were that it used packet creation and sniffing to operate since my own basic tests with controls had provided nothing, but it may just be that I'm not experienced enough to have known where to look or how the client worked. ··· Danny Pew Pew

boo

Since people have to take it so personal and spread it to a talk page. This site is 'serious' business you know. Lol. It's just hey, if you can't say anything nice or respectful or honest in a good way. Don't say anything at all. That's my opinon of some, but that's why we have 'negativity' instead of 'positive'. It's also a sure way that you won't get respect, if you don't show it at all. That's why we have some of the problems that we do. -- riyen ♥ 19:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I can barely read any of that. Please refer to this page for research into your....problem. Karate Jesus 19:18, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh, no, I understand where you were going, or at least I think I understand, but the fact is that Dominator was doing a miserable job of handling the questions provided and that Pika is about as blunt as they come. You probably could save yourself a lot of future angst if you just avoid jumping in when they're around - most of us who have accounts at PvX don't have a problem violating NPA a few dozen times in one strongly-worded argument. ··· Danny Pew Pew 19:18, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

@Karate, go learn more. your education hasn't exploded your brain enough. @Danny, yea Pvx is cool. I didn't jump in. just gave my advice towards Dominator, nothing at all towards anybody else. It was all assumed, by other people, you know. -- riyen ♥ 19:22, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Wait, what? Karate Jesus 19:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Well.. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was assumed. There was certainly some passive aggression in your comments - or at least what could be taken as passive aggression - but that's not anything new around GWW - that's pretty much all arguments are. ··· Danny Pew Pew 19:26, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah, so that's how it was taken. None were meant to be in there at all. It was just how it was preceived, I guess. I'm more of an optomistic type and I write more so as if I was speaking to the person. It just comes with my style of history of writing and that's the difference between me and most people's view of English. -- riyen ♥ 19:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah - gotta remember that the internet doesn't convey tone and most people expect cynicism. I blame the internet culture. ··· Danny Pew Pew 19:43, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

LOL. When people think they use the correct version, is when they look in the mirror and... well, you know that's why some only love themselves and is so negative at others. *giggles*.
