The unsung heroes who can't help but correct people. Obsessively.
I've been following a similar person on imdB who consistently corrects people's plot theories about Memento and Primer (and a few others):
http://www.imdb.com/user/ur128...
He's been doing it, routinely, for years.
...and yet it sounds like a distant camera mic with a bunch of background noise. Please look into making these videos sound better. Yes, it does matter.
The last I heard the new version won't work with old hardware. Nice. Spent $20k on a system three years ago, and now it's $20k of JUNK if I want to use the new features of the new software. Dear Avid: Fuck. You.
Not true. We're using an 888/24 interface with ProTools 10.2 in our studio and it works fine. Avid simply doesn't help you with the hardware if you're having trouble with it which is a little disheartening, but there are a large number of Pro Tools users on a number of forums who will help. Just because they say they don't support a piece of hardware it doesn't mean that it doesn't work.
Plus, since Pro Tools 9, you can finally use practically any non-Digidesign/non-Avid audio interface; even your internal soundcard.
This post gave me a stomach ache at how similar my problems have been when playing with a Linux distro. Just add the horrible problems when using the proprietary ATI/AMD or the openati vid drivers. I've never had a distro work well. I'd usually troubleshoot until I give up, live with it for a while, then reinstall Windows when I need something to work.
Wicked echo on the voiceover there, can you record that stuff in front of a curtain, or hang cloth over the walls or something. Its the little things.
But yeah this looks like a lot of fun.
I work in audio post-production so I always try to tell myself that most people don't have the know-how when it comes to recording, editing and mixing audio. Because if I didn't, I would be screaming at 95% of all the videos I watch on the internet.
Common voice over problems are:
1. Recording near the blaring computer fans.
2. Popping the mic on lips plosives (Ps and Bs)
3. Being too far from the mic (like in this case)
4. Clipping the recording.
5. Using an incredibly crappy webcam mic.
The only study referenced in this piece is 'Gold, L.S., et al. (1992) _Science_ Vol. 258, pp. 261-265' which is 20 years ago. Though I'm sceptical of the organic movement and its claims, I'd like to have more data on this piece's premise as there are assumptions made. For example:
'For obvious reasons, organic farmers have done little, if anything, to dispel the myth that "organic = chemical/pesticide-free". They would only stand to lose business by making such a disclosure.'
Are all organic farmers cut from the same cloth with the same methods? What about farmers who try to grow crops without any pesticides at all?
I copied the Mediafire share URL, opened IE which I've almost never used, pasted in the URL in the URL bar, pressed Enter, and it started downloading the file without any pop ups or directing to any other site.
Why would you host them on a slow, remote, ad-filled site, rather than on your own network?
I never noticed it being ad-filled as I've always used Ad-Block Plus. But even then, if I'm sharing files to other employees or clients, I simply send them the mediafire link and their browser automatically starts downloading the file. They have no reason to visit the Mediafire site at all.
I certainly hope they don't plan on taking down Mediafire as I have over 2 years of work related files uploaded there. I paid for that storage. If they are going to go after every file storage site, what alternatives do we have?
At least watching the workprint made it fun: "Claws Grow".
Hell yeah! I found the workprint to be far more entertaining than the finished film as well. I watched it at least 3 times and laughed my ass off every single time. Remember the plane crash? "EXPLOSION!!!" The part when Wolverine gets hit by the Big Rig was great, too.
I wish more studios would include workprints and stuff like that on their legitimate DVD/BD releases. The process of making a movie is often times far more fascinating to me than the movie itself.
If you get Sin City - Extended Cut, you get to watch the whole film with green screen, though it's sped up to be 14 minutes or something.
Fail as computers? It might not be the best word processor, but with a keyboard it could be fine. I don't know since I haven't tried. But 'fail' is definitely too strong a word.
It has a decent web browser (other than no flash!), great games, musical instruments, is a great ebook/comic book reader, has a DAW controller, has GPS, has a constellation map, email, and innumerable utilities for countless professions.

I was writing a long winded post about how the days of 'ctrl-s'ing every 10 seconds are finally gone, but I lost it all after my computer crashed.

Well, 50 millions smokers can't be wrong!

Obviously they put big boobs in to swell the kernel.

Sounds hot.

Why do all these horrible new viruses emerge from Germany?
Schadenfreude?

I've been using it for over 2 years. Have you used it or are you trolling?

I don't think Mercola is a valid source.

I've been reading a bunch of Philip K Dick on the iPad through Kindle.

They programmed non-repetitive beats, but it's still pattern based music. And a great piece of music at that.
If I could mod you up, I would.
To almost a tenth of the price? I'll take it. I don't need the fastest. Just fast enough for my needs.

I wish I had mod points.
