Gnomoria may be "Dwarf Fortress Lite 3D" to some, but to me it's the best mix between in depth orders and possibilities and playability. http://gnomoria.com/ Lots of updates and support.

Gnomoria is a sandbox village management game where you help lead a small group of gnomes, who have set out on their own, to thrive into a bustling kingdom! Anything you see can be broken down and rebuilt elsewhere. Craft items, build structures, set traps and dig deep underground in search of precious resources to help your gnomes survive the harsh lands. Build your kingdom and stockpile wealth to attract wandering gnomads to your cause, but be wary of also attracting enemies!

I, like so many, was blown away by the soundtrack for 7th Guest and a big part of that was the voice clips integrated directly into the music. Question: What do you think about integrating a games voice acting clips and/or sound effects directly into the music tracks?

I did do a google search, and found one reference to infrasound being used in Irreversible and a bunch of allegations that it has been used in other movies. Not exactly proof is it? http://truthseekers.cultureunp...

Well now I know why it's not used for effects in movies, I always thought it was just because speakers to produce infrasound would be too large and expensive for anything except theme parks. I suppose even a horror theme park wouldn't want to cause actual illness. I wonder how close to causing unease and discomfort lower frequencies that modern theaters can play over their sound systems comes to causing these types of effects. *runs off to layer a 20-30hz waveform over a youtube video of kittens* - HEX

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?

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.
