Who are some of your favorite voice actors to work with, obviously not limited to just the Futurama cast, and what are your favorite moments or stories with them?
Seconded and bumped +5. I was down there 3 weeks ago and have a CD full of pictures and videos from the tour.
Run, don't walk, to this museum. And if you really feel the need, Google is a few blocks away, Apple is a 10 minute drive, and a bunch of other fine folks. There's even the local Sports Bar, right across the street.
Eh, Arabic wasn't too bad. Don't be put off by the RTL writing style, or the fact that letters change forms depending on where they're used on the word (or sometimes just dropped out in favor of a quick pronouciation mark, if any) or by the really beautiful handwritten styles that seem impossible to grok.
That said, about the only things I remember from my class 10 years ago are the basic introductory phrases, yes/no/thanks/please, praise to god, money, and spoon. (ma'al'a!) Tick fan, what?
Oh, and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Because what fun is learning a language if you can't play that game?
> Fingerprints are about 98% accurate for a single finger, 99.99% accurate for two fingers, and on upwards as you include the rest of the fingers and the palm.
Who cares about accuracy? Disney uses fingerprint based identification for their weekend-hopper passes (and maybe others, but it's been a while) so you can come and go as you please.
Well, I was at SANS Orlando, and one of my classmates gave me his hopper, because he was leaving early. He was military. Fortunatly, i had my summertime buzz-cut instead of my Alaskan-Winter-length, and figured I could bluff my way in - at this point i didn't know about the fingerprint scanners.
And when I got to the gate and failed the two-finger print authentication, I simply told the attendant that I had "left my ID back at the barracks", and they buzzed me through -- updating the print registration with my prints (instead of the previous classmates..)
Yep. Easy as pie. No ID or any futher questions, just got right past the biometrics.
Well, you could always talk to them about it. Let them know about the standard stuff. Let them know about the fun stuff. Let them know that there are other things that people do, that is particular to a small group of like-minded enthusiasts. "Hey, it might not be your cup of tea, but it's out there. Don't get too upset by it if it doesn't involve you, just quietly walk away from it. Or, heck, give it a try, and if you don't like it, you haven't lost anything, you've gained the knowledge and experience to be able to make an informed decision about _your_ likes and dislikes. Just don't use that to judge other people"
Oh, wait...Is that prosthyletising? I never know...
33.6? Luxury! We used to have to dial up some stupid ISP at 9600 baud and run a buggy IPX->TCP/IP bridge hack just to play doom online, and we loved it!
If you make just dumb wireless wands, except for a unique serial number, then it comes down to the software for managing the registration of the wands, and capturing the data.
It would seem like you're going to have to deal with a lot of input at once (i'm forseeing about 200 simultaneous..) so your RF communication is going to have to be pretty smart to be able to deal with all that interference.
the wands should be transmit only, to save cost and limit complexity. You could limit the number of simultaneous broadcasts per "channel" by including some sort of user-modifiable channel-selector or encryptor, ala a garage door opener.
Spread-spectrum broadcasting might be a good fit as well, along with multiple-diversity receivers.
A good smart receiver, maybe even a software radio, might be able to be trained to handle the inputs.
Grammatically speaking, the professor is still correct.
People who have no grasp of sarcasm or body language will be unable to extract the context from this interaction.
Syntax and semantics and context.
All three of them are required to fully understand grammar, and it is likely to be nearly impossible to present all of them in a machine-comprehensible fashion.
Uh, as an actor who has done TV, movies, and radio, let me tell you that the people who do voice-only work _well_ are definately acting.
In fact, they're often far better than people who don't do VO work. why? because the people who do it are used to telling the entire story, and showing the entire range of the character with... get this!... _just their voice_.

Go for the Museum. It's so worth the effort.

Oh, the days of flipping my apple's 5.25" floppy over with a hole-punched addition.
nothing like an extra 170KiB....
Really, none of the patent mess even applies if this is simply "a method of _writing_ to the disk"
Since his driver is reading the files...

So, i guess gaim running on a treo doesn't count, because, you know, i can't select my emoticons from a popup list..
Oh wait, damn. I can.
dang. how did that extraneous 'y' get in there?

I wondered why I wasn't able to read WWdN:iX today...
And here Wil had been considering moving to TypePad for his next site upgrade....
All I know is that I'm an actor, and i've been in a lot of shows.
I certainly can't make a living out of it.
Not to say that i wouldn't try if it came close, but it isn't.
I do it for the love. But i'd still do it for the money.
Ahem.

> There is a flawed perception that eugenics wasn't performed except by the Nazis.
And then there's controlled breeding of animals other than human. Is there any difference?
No. Really. Is there? Is either 'right' ?
It's a great essay question for folks.
okay, i'm about 2/3rds done watching it now.
I have to say.. AMI bios and Finnish Linux bootscreen. Nice.

Duck!
Yup. I had the same problems you did.
er.. None.
Heck, i'm logged in right now, but i don't think any of my gmail buddies are j-heads, so my list will remain a null set until some of them upgrade.
I think the fact that he wrote "turn on the GPS ...." means that it's an opt-in procedure
Personally, this could be a fun extension to geocaching. Kind of like geo-sardines. or bio-caching.
LILO: linux init=/bin/sh
Works for me!
And i can manually turn up the network if I need it. Haven't tried starting X under this condition, not really sure how well it'd work...
Folding bicycle? Why not just learn to ride a unicycle? Even less of a footprint... wheelprint?

Hard to believe, but it's true!
Just ask some real actors...
Tried the nasa TV link in Firefox 1.05 with mplayer and mozplugger, but never got the media screen.
And my god, it's full of crappy javascript.
There's got to be a better way, but I'm at work so all i can do is complain, instead of look for the solution.
