The app (or plugin) I want will pick a random 1-5 minute sections out of a collection of videos. This would be great for LAN parties or Weddings. Currently there is nothing that can do this short of breaking the video into chunks yourself then randomizing them with VLC.
I have always used SADX not WASD. The real reason for WASD is that it mimics the placement of the arrow keys; however, SADX is much more ergonomic as your middle finger isn't constanty overstretched:)
I have 2 10TB RAID 6 servers running Debian that sync every night. There is also a emergency backup on Windows that is just 4 2.5 tb drives chained together.
Coding isn't just about writing amazingly optimized code, or running as close to the metal as you can get; or heck, it isn't even about not crashing. The whole reason for Java and the other high level languages is so that less analytical geniuses and more artists/thinkers can get into programing.
Notch is a perfect example of a regular guy, who isn't really the greatest coder or artist, but never-the-less, still managed to outdo every single 100+ team dev house. Why? 1. the balls to buck absolutely every convention. 2. the presence of high level abstracted languages and libraries for him to build on. 3. the willingness to borrow from what comes before (Infiniminer, Dwarf Fortress, Gary's Mod) 4. pure damn luck.
Notch is a phenomenon, not simply because minecraft is an amazing game, but because we love a rags-to-riches storyline:)
I'm still seeing these burnt up Nvidia chips get replaced with the same identical board on warranty repairs, and still finding busted caps on certain (cough gx270 gx280 cough) models.
I'll take government bias over corporate bias any day of the week. I'm pretty sure what the government is trying to sell me. Untangling the various interests of the corporate media would be too much like work:)
That's not even taking the constant commercial interruption into account. I'll bet I receive nearly double the content over a similar time period when I'm catching up on the BBC over NPR in the mornings.
They have a thing called National Public Radio, which provides access to news, weather, and emergency information when the net is down:D CANCEL THAT CABLE!
Couldn't a self-respecting nerd simply bypass the paid priority by tunneling into a non-double-dipped protocol? (ping tunnel comes to mind). If mole-bashing becomes an issue, simply tunnel through a protocol they cannot mess with, like http. Tunneling may be in a nerd only realm now, but it could easily become as ubiquitous as (insert kid friendly p2p app) here.
There is no such thing as a relevant ad. Unless I am looking to buy something, I don't wanna see your product. Even if I am looking to buy something . . . I sure as heck ain't going to find it through your ad. I'm going to find it through careful research, done by multiple third parties. This is why I have no television, no radio, and you can pry my adblock out of my cold dead fingers.
Someone might want to mention that New Super Mario Bros. doesn't work with the precompiled Dolphin, you've gotta compile the latest build for this game to make it past the title screen. So there, I mentioned it.
Example: I know at least one guy with a High School Diploma, who can't read. My Unschooler, reads better than his schooled friends, with no formal reading program whatsoever. Hey, Elijah, can you read me this is about as formal as we get:)
I agree with you to an extent, but I think you are misunderstanding what unschooling is. It is a rejection of the structure and content of the public schools, but its not a rejection of all authority. We are quite strict about the amount of time Elijah spends on math vs, on video games, for example. A large percentage of human knowledge is quite painful to learn. There seems to be no way around forcing the multiplication tables; however, there are plenty of subjects that require no forcing whatsoever, and benefit greatly from removing the authority figure. Take literature for example, there is no worse pain than reading a book you hate, as there is no greater pleasure in reading a book you love.

I've heard this particular argument a lot, funny thing is, I don't remember school being all that much of a social experience. In fact, I recall not being allowed to speak to other students at all for most of the day. . . Anyhow, (better) social experiences can be had elsewhere. We use the Boys and Girls club personally, but I can imagine that the YMCA, the local corner karate class, or the skate park down the street would be equally effective in instructing our youth in the swearing and witty comebacks required for a healthy social existance.
You've stuck on the single biggest advantage to homeschooling in general there. One-Six (grandparents) teachers per kid, as apposed to 30 kids per teacher. This means if we have problems in fractions, we work on fractions. Our teaching strategy is tailored to just one person. Elijah is not held up by others deficiencies, nor is he responsible for holding others up. This has tremendous repercussions for self-confidence, not to mention his rate of progression.
Surprised that with all the outrage on here, exactly none is directly where it ought to be, at the school system itself. If you send your children to a prison society, this is what will happen to them. No surprise there. Not for this reason specifically, but for many many many others, my son has never seen the inside of a school building, and won't until college.
Save yourself the pain and suffering of input lag, dropped connections, battery swapping, and start up time (as the wireless device pops out of standby), and just get yourself a good ole usb extension cable and repeater. This goes double or triple if you intend to play any games at all on the TV. For just clicking on an mkv file, a wireless device will do you. But it will do you poorly.

Was there really anyone who thought otherwise?
That looks like Skyrim in the trailer :)

I doubt they've even heard of Minecrift, although I'm sure they'll nuke it from orbit if this deal goes through . . . :(
The name is exactly what they're after (and sequels with that name attached). Don't underestimate the brand power that Minecraft has with kids.

The game you want is Starflight 2 :P

Tony Jaa in The Protector. One of the best single shot scene's I've ever seen for sure.

The reason all modern d-pads suck is that Nintendo has a patent on the "good" d-pad :)

Agreed, but discipline doesn't just come from kindergarten and drill Seargents. You can have some at home too
I'd like to raise a child who thinks there are options other than those :)
