    Request: Who can turn bad quality recording into arrangement

    Oh boy, it's been a while since I've been here. But I distinctly remember some people who were very good at music and editing. It pains me to say, but ah, here goes. See, I have a really crappy mobile phone recording of a semi-improv gig I did a few years ago, and this guy I had the pleasure of...

    Fascinating

    keynote speech by John Carmack, the genius behind the Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake series at id software. I don't even get half of the stuff he says about graphics engines, but the second part of his talk is more interesting anyway. I don't know what it is, but I think it relates...

    [Rant] Forced geolocation-informed redirects piss me off

    Alright, so I just went to check a certain site with the extension .com because I am only interested in the English content. Since I am not using TOR or a proxy or anything, the site reads my IP, finds out I am in Germany and zing! redirects me to the German .de site instead. Seriously, how...

    R

    Well, I'm going to start my Master's in september and I'll need R programming skills for about 3 courses. I've only had some training and experience with Matlab so far, so I'm currently reading some tutorials and docs to make the switch. I'm one day in and right now, I'm a little frustrated with...

    Isn't it ironic...

    ...that before Poes became Poes, they were known as "Devil's Advocates"?

    A short exchange of views

    I posted a couple of comments on a video about the Westboro family, originally in response to another comment: (Because caps make your argument STRONGER?) awaiting response... Edit: Well that was unexpected. Anticlimactic, too. Edit 2: Person A comes to the rescue! (compare this to...

    Crysis 2

    I recently... acquired Crysis Warhead and beat it in no time at all (maybe because I was playing on 'easy'). It was quite fun, and quite pretty, so I tried Crysis. Very pretty indeed, and again a fun game, just longer. And the boss is harder, too, even on easy. But all that aside... now I got my...

    Solemn advice to a critic of pledge of allegiance rejection

    This interview is awesome. The title is pretty self-explanatory: a 10-year-old old boy refuses to say the pledge of allegiance. I think it hasn't been posted yet, so enjoy!

    The Matrix

    A friend and I recently noticed that she, I, and a lecturer we know watched "The Matrix" (the first movie) probably 10 times, despite the fact that none of us likes watching movies several times. We don't like repetition in general... so this peculiar deviation is remarkably confusing. [As far...

    Joi Ito - State of Emergent Democracy

    http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2004/159_State_of_Emergent_Democracy.html Joi Ito talks about... ah what the heck, just WATCH IT. Yea it's a bit dusty, but only by internet standards, and only the release date itself. The content is as important as ever. I feel as if I had posted this...

    IDF attacks Gaza

    Haven't seen this anywhere here yet, so I'll plug it: Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/22/world/middleeast/22briefs-ART-Gaza.html It would further seem that Isarel is attacking Gaza with tanks now... according to some Twitter sources I'm not going to link since I can't verify any of it...

    A Minor thing

    Today I heard from my father that his father is ilkely going to die tonight. Now this grandfather and I have never been close, but he is, after all, my father's father and it does make me a little sad. I have recently watched 'Big Fish' again and those of you who know the movie, or rather, those...

    [Amusing Website] I write like...

    I write like - http://iwl.me/ I wrote some original 10 lines or so and got David Foster Wallace, then I pasted some parts of one of my papers and got Isaac Asimov. :P Edit: Then I pasted one of the chapters of a Fantasy story I started writing a year ago, and got H.P. Lovecraft. :3

    oops, SC2 beta key unused

    Is there someone here who isn't sure whether to buy the game and wants to try SC2 before it launches on July 27th? I still got one key left unused. Just post here... if there are more people who want it, I'll throw a die. If nobody wants it, meh. :lol: One condition would probably be that you...
