State is more than capable of effective propaganda (or counter-propaganda). If ISIS is such existential threat, then correct approach to defeat their speech is more speech. For a fraction of what it costs to bomb them US Gov't can create top-notch documentaries and satire to effectively neutralize the threat.
It is hard to criticize ISIS without sounding like you are criticizing Islam. It is much more politically correct to bomb a country than to criticize a culture.
LMOL filler jobs, nice one ass-hole. I guess you'd like to abolish child labor laws....
Nope. He didn't say that but since your mind went there, I guess those laws are on your closeted hit list.
And as soon as the democrats want children working again, we will start hearing "what right do you have to tell a child they cannot live the america dream?" And then we will start hearing about the "war on children"
OK - so how do you decide if someone is an employee? If someone makes 1 drive for Uber and then never does it again, are they an employee?
How long do they have to be working to be considered an employee?
Is this much different than working for a temp agency? Employee goes to agency and the agency sends them somewhere to work on a temp basis. Do those have unions?
10 % for dvds and 30 % for blurays. And that was compared to the x264 rip not the source.
Now that you mention it though, I might have to debate the sd rips going to x265. Not sure if it's worth the extra encoding time on those. It is easy to see the plus, though, for the HD stuff. The storage savings add up fast.
As far as just putting the original on my server, i thought about it but 20-30 GB a movie would add up pretty fast (and that is with removing most of the sound tracks and all the extras).
I'm not using very aggressive encoding settings and my google player box has been able to play all of the movies I ripped so far (I know it's not hardware accelerated but as long as it plays without stuttering, it makes no difference to me.)
Guess I'll double check my amazon fire (not the 4k model) and make sure it's able to play those too.
Generally rec rooms/brorooms are wider/longer than the 3 to 4 feet that is the maximum viewing distance for 'decent' sized TV's, anything smaller than 60" and your sitting even closer to get any benefit...just another scam like 3D if you ask me. Don't get me wrong I'm sure it would benefit a small group but certainly not the majority so it's just another way to hopefully get the masses to replace their existing good TV's...what a waste.
I felt this way for the VHS to DVD conversion then even more so during the DVD to bluray conversion. I was completely wrong both times so I think I'll be shutting up during the jump to 4k and just look forward to enjoying it in 10 years when the price allows me to.
(I encode everything to 720p just so I won't start getting use to 1080p)
I am in the process of moving my fiancee's dvd/bluray collection to my server and putting her physical copies in storage. Using Handbrake, switching from x264 to x265 saves me at lease 10 % on dvd sources and closer to 30+% on the bluray sources.
are you arguing and suggesting that Fox news has reported inaccurately?
Fox does not report any particular fact inaccurately [without an excuse]. Instead, what it does is pick and choose which facts to report in order to imply a misleading conclusion. It also carefully chooses who to interview, so that slick, well-spoken Republicans can have a "fair and balanced" debate against the most moronic Democrat they can get their hands on. Moreover, when those Republican interviewees blatantly lie, the anchors can repeat that "[person] said [claim], and he seems very credible" over and over again. The anchor never technically lied -- [person] did say [claim] -- but the anchor is complicit in spreading the lie.
Not saying it makes it right, but you see the same thing on CNN and MSNBC for the democrats (well MSNBC doesn't try to pretend it's fair.)
Well, the moon is alive according to the Doctor Who episode "Kill the moon."
Now that I made Doctor Who on-topic, any comments if this season has been better than the last one - in terms of energy and less dreariness? I have it saved but haven't had the desire to watch it yet - something I never thought I'd say.
And I take issue with the fact that a terminated employee should be punished further for telling the truth about a situation. Any time someone is punished for telling the truth, we all lose.
I don't disagree. I was commenting on the post that said that career wise, it is better for people to go to the public media to broadcast the situation versus a private lawsuit.
Do IT people actually get to do this? And file such a suit without running into 'You'll never get work on this planet again'? Blaring his account to the media might have been the only way to redress this.
If I was an employer, an employee airing complaints to the media about his former job would scare me more then knowing that he had filed an unlawful termination lawsuit.
My favorite part (talking about both sides) is how the insult is always followed up with a straw man profile of the other person that is the WWI propaganda-poster-of-the-enemy version of whatever they represent
I disagree that the democrats do this. For all the issues I have regarding the left, the democrats are very good at guarding their own while the republicans tear each other down during their race to the top.
Just look at the difference during the debates. How often do you hear Bernie Sanders rip into Hillary? He even downplayed the email server issues that was plaguing Hillary.
The Republicans can learn a lot by watching how the Democrats treat each other.

Then why offer a password on a bootloader?
So what does it make Hillary who takes donations from Donald Trump?
And from the banks and other corporations?

Can Handbrake handle subtitles and dvd chapter/title formats well?
It does this well. I copy that stuff over too. No manual conversion needed
I'll look at that. In real world, do you notice much difference between a NAS harddrive and a desktop harddrive in a home server?

I love the autoplay next episode option. I keep meaning to look for a plugin that does that with KODI.

My 12 year old step daughter's name is Issis. It has really turned into an unfortunate name.

But I bet she knows how to set up two email accounts on a phone...
And the democrats are pushing for the same thing

Instead, the Euros should do like we do here in the U.S. and hand out AR-15's and Glocks to anybody who wants one. That'll keep them safe.
We don't do that. That is part of the problem from the viewpoint of the gun rights supporters.

The GP didn't say that we're running out of He; the GP said that we are not finding *new* supplies
The title of his post (which you changed) said exactly that.
What makes an hour of one man's lifetime more valuable than an hour of another man's?
I think what is done during that hour makes the difference.
So how do illegal aliens do it then?
Small towns are full of bigots, pedophiles, racists and thieves and everyone is too afraid
Ahh. Just like large cities, then? Except in a small town, you can learn who to avoid.
