I never heard of Mr Ebert, may he rest in peace, until today. Maybe he is anglophone world famous, but not world's most famous film criti. I am very sure 1 chinese critic or indian critic will take his spot away easily.
And I do know of Anglophone critics, one that I follow is Robbie Collin.
I can't hear the difference, but is weird I get different feelings. Maybe just because you cannot hear does not mean exactly you will not feel it. Bethoven was deaf and he used to lie on top of his piano so he could feel it. Get a high quality sample of an explosion and encode them at different levels and I bet you will feel the difference.
I am such outdoors person, and mostly near, in or on the water. I only use mechanical watches for diving since they have to be open less the integrity is better. But this is a choice I am more comfortable with them plus a watch is also fashionable and is the only piece of jewelry I wear. And just because they're old fashion does not mean they're not complicated. I got watches with slide rule that allows me to do calculations way faster than a calculator since I just quickly rotate the bezel.
You can also use your watch to check you pulse just put some pressure on one of your veins and look at your watch and count, and not only you will see it but also feel it. You can also use your watch to find out where north is, this is an old boyscout trick.
I sail many times a year to Revillagigedo islands, Clipperton Island or halfway to hawaii for fishing and I am not dumb to rely on any of those digital gadgets. I always keep an analogue chronometer running while moving. I can confidently say that I had to rely on digital gadgetry I would be dead sine I had them fail on me more than once. Salt munches on circuit boards.
Yes, lots of people still wear watches. smart phones are just smart pocket watches now days.
But to check the time a wrist watch is faster.
I prefer analogue mechanical watches, that way I do not have to worry about batteries since I have so many. I do have a digital watch is though solar pathfinder by casio that I use when I go hiking to keep track of the altitude changes and to predict the weather.
And in my opinion Analogue is better starting a coutdown just requires a quick rotate of the bezel. I also have a watch that has a slide ruler I rotate it and can do complex calculations really quick. I also use a analogue mechanical watch to keep time when I go diving.
And the best feature is that a good watch can get you laid.
Depends where you go to school.
In Mexico 6 continents. They ignore Antartica sometimes they will say 5
Then I moved to finland, and they count 6. From there we went to czech republic also 6 continents.
Then highschool 10th grade in USA they counted 7 continents.
I also noticed that refering to a USAian as american is mostly an anglophone thing. While traveling through Europe I could say I am an Amererican, and they knew I was not referring to USA. And it probably was because I do not have a north american english accent or I could speak the local language.
And canadians they're are americans they just hate getting confused with their southern neighbour. Even if you say they're From North America they still end up being americans from the north.
I took some english classes, studied 1 year in USA and here is how I interpret the name United States of America with my limited english.
the key is in the word "OF" a proposition I believe. It says the These united states belong to america. It does not say They are America. Is like saying "the united union of kentucky", "the sons of Carl", "the many cars of Mike"
For the name to actually mean the name of the country is America it would have to say it something like this. United American States. Now this would imply they are american and not just belong to.
Funny thing is 99% of USAians don't know where the name come from. When you ask they usually end up saying it means freedom or something like that.
canada is a defrosting steak. As the poles melt it looks juicier to other countries, and the flies are already circling, and others have already landed and staked a claim. And some USAians already call it the 51st state.
I been writting a journal since age 12, and all I been using is pen and paper. Going through the pages is faster than rewinding with a digital device. When you read through memorable moment many years later you will notice the the memories will flood back in, and even the smells of the moment will make it back. You don't even have to read the whole to thing you wrotem just a few snipets and your brain will fill in the blanks. Also written journals are more collectible than digital files, so if your family does not read it after you pass some stranger will.
I have about 20 apple trees in my property, and I have seen deer and squirrels in purpose eating the fermenting fruit just to get drunk. They put a very good show once they're drunk. Specially the squirrels, I can swear squirrels have a sense of humour.
From experience. I have noticed that anglophones, specially the ones in USA choose not to understand if the accent differs. And if they understad you then they might mock your accent. My coworker claims he can't understand black peoples english and needs subtitles when watching a movie with black actors.
I am using 1 HDHomerun Prime and a HDHomeRunDUal I have the cablecard connected in cardsharing mode. I had to modify of VDR-SC to share the cablecard with both devices, but it works much better than in default mode because all my tuners(5) can decode the channels I subscribe to, and it get rids of the copy once flag and I am able to playback in any device I want.
The live TV/PVR "functionality" is still dogshit, apparently shoehorned in at the last minute. I've used it with NPVR and MythTV backends and it doesn't do the most basic things like pause or rewind. Other than that it's lovely.
I think you're doing something wrong. I been running frodo in a raspberrypi using mythtv backend, and I can rewind, fast forward, pause and schedule recordings. I even returned the cable boxes to my cable provider, 4 of boxes and now comcast refunds me $3 per month for not renting their cable box.
I could not do any recordings if the backend was tvheadend but it works just fine with mythtv and VDR.
This annoys me because the interface is such a f*ck*rse to operate with the mouse.
Man, sounds like you're paying for their product I hope you're donating something at least.
The remote was fixed long time ago. Just install one of the nightlies apk's from their website

Grab an aluminum can and pour some sodium hydroxide and you'll end up producing hydrogen on demand.
I know producing aluminum requires lots of energy but so does heating up the sand to creat silicon.

Isn't it considered racist to refer to someone as "Oriental"? It's an adjective for objects not people.
Is only aproblem with USA Orientals, and I think is because they do not know what the word means. In USA the word Asian is reserved only for people you know the different eye, sorry I could not find a better description. In the UK asian is reserved for Indians. example when offer food from that area they could say "do you want Asian or Chinese food" Where they say asian they meant Indian food.
Oriental is just latin for eastern and western is occidental
I think this is a job for Diesel's. MY VW passat does better than 54.5US gallons when in the hwy. My friend has a ford fiesta diesel that gets even better mileage around 70mpg (US gallons). And I am sure a diesel hybrid should be even better.
I can't go back to driving gasoline autos. The torque in a diesel vehicle is just awesome.
Trident is coming out with a diesel sports car that will do 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds and a fuel economy of 57.4mpg and that car's engine is built by GM.
The computer part is easy I would worry more about your dad giving out his SS. My mom got her SS stolen and we put a credit freeze on her file. I had to pay $10 each credit reporting agency but that stop the thiefs from getting too many credit cards. They did manage to get a Macy's CC.

VNC work different than X. With VNC you have to display the whole desktop, and with the xserver you have the choice of only displaying the app you need to run. I think windows just added this feature in their windows 2008 server and call it remote app.
And I love this I got old computers that can't run some programs so I just made a shorcut to just run the one app via xserver, and you can't even tell the difference since to the client it feels like a local program.
Is like getting lots of free apps at once. I think lots of people don't know that you can just display the one application that you need to run a not the whole screen.
if you want to run old programs all you need to grab everysingle library that program depends on. I have managed to run old applications using portablelinuxapps There was also a story here in slashdot of another program that allowed you to grab all the dependencies of an old program to run in modern distributions but I couldn't find the story.

What are you using for tuners?
