Sticking your fingers (or other objects) into the stream of water droplets means it cannot move to "catch" the rest of the display (see the article gallery), much like standing between a projector and the screen. So every time you go to "touch" anything part of it disappears, doesn't sound ideal for porn. :P

Anyone seen if Wirecast is still part of the package?

Wirecast for YouTube is Here!

11 April 2012 - Finally we can talk about it! YouTube announced some significant improvements to YouTube Live, and Wirecast for YouTube is one of them! YouTube Partners who are authorized for livestreaming can now download Wirecast for YouTube free of charge, enjoy the gorgeous and intuitive UI, and stream their content directly to YouTube.

I taught myself DOS, then Windows, and I'm a rollout, packaging, migration specialist. I get hired to do the hard work and hand it over to H-1B's to do the migration and I'm out of work again. So fuck you guys who'll only pay for quality work for as short a time as possible then dump it to "best shore" people. Fuck you assholes who've screwed over everyone who built America's infrastructure. I'm sick of drinking bitter H-1B tea. /rant

Whovians, Browncoats, Trekkies, etc, etc, etc...... Yes people place value on actually buying things they are into, but they'll pirate the fuck out of it in order to watch it. *looks at my hard drive and bookshelf* Yep...

and shifting your efforts towards people who can complete courses, those who can do well in traditional college courses.

What’s got the academic Internet’s frayed mom jeans in a bunch, however, is that Thrun’s alleged mea culpa is actually a you-a culpa. For Udacity’s catastrophic failure to teach remedial mathematics at San Jose State University, Thrun blames neither the corporatization of the university nor the MOOC’s use of unqualified “student mentors” in assessment. Instead, he blames the students themselves for being so damn poor.

The way Fast Company has it, Thrun chucks those San Jose State students under the self-driving Google car faster than he chugs up a hill on his custom-made road bike, leaving a panting Max Chafkin in the dust to ponder the following Thrunism: “These were students from difficult neighborhoods, without good access to computers, and with all kinds of challenges in their lives. It's a group for which this medium is not a good fit.”

Apparently students fail MOOCs because those students have the gall to be poor.

The problem, of course, is that those students represent the precise group MOOCs are meant to serve. “MOOCs were supposed to be the device that would bring higher education to the masses,” Jonathan Rees noted. “However, the masses at San Jose State don’t appear to be ready for the commodified, impersonal higher education that MOOCs offer.” Thrun’s cavalier disregard for the SJSU students reveals his true vision of the target audience for MOOCs: students from the posh suburbs, with 10 tablets apiece and no challenges whatsoever—that is, the exact people who already have access to expensive higher education.

Telling them you're recording the call is usually enough to make them hang up, many have specific rules that if they are told they are being recorded to immediately end the call.

I just listened to a couple of Lenny recordings, and they can waste a ton of time, everyone who's been in a conversation with someone who meanders like that knows how much time an actual human can waste well Lenny is 10X worse.

I've heard of using AudioGalaxy instead of the built in audio of XBMC, but since it's gone too I'm wondering if anyone has found a great match for XBMC integration. I'm still doing MP3Tag then moving to XBMC's folders which is much too manual for my liking.

... something better than my old HTC 3G EVO that runs latest android for a decent price? I'm switching to Ting and don't mind buying behind the curve, but it's not easy to get something at the same budget I'm used to when I get the phone(s) mostly subsidized from Sprint. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong review sites to find a peppy cheap android.

I figured it was pockets of something outgassing (is that the correct term?) as is spins. Different materials heat/etc different rates blah blah cue Bill Nye or Phil Platt please.

Coral is very slow for his site but not sure if it's loading anything except the title. It's not timing out yet, we'll see.

I tried Jitsi on windows, wasn't pretty and crashed a ton at first, forget exactly why but it was like 6 months ago. One of the signup websites was down, I think it was for SIP. I'm using it for consolidating several google accounts, a yahoo, but no video/audio chat. For consolidated chat I might as well go back to Pidgin. And 99% of the time everyone just texts me via SMS (google voice) or Skype on Win7 desktop and phone. I've got only a very few people who use google chat or yahoo chat and thus Jitsi.

Not sure how it keeps getting called a social network. It's an evil that has taken over a large segment of the job hunting market, especially in IT. I've got an account but actually read what I click so I haven't spammed my email contacts, and definitely won't be installing their crapware app. - HEX

First to the AC above: That link was intentionally mangled just to give an example of what a bunch of pissed off gamer hackers might say. And yes, a wider example is the Internet itself! ;) To your comment: The entire point is to have a discussion on this topic and related topics. My comment was towards the ease of setting up something simple like an automatic DynDNS updater and the simple stuff should never be ignored. This is extremely relevant to the discussion and falls in line with other suggestions and testing devices singly. Setting up your OS to mitigate attacks is all to the good but if they can find you because you're giving your IP away on each change they can still overwhelm you.

and it follows you that quickly, then YOU are broadcasting your location

Exactly, it doesn't even have to be sophisticated, setup Dynamic DNS on router/internal PC and it'll play follow the leader for years. "looks like http://imaspawncamper.noobstoddos.dynamicdns.moc/ is back up on nother MAC and IP lulz"
