Bravado: The part of this summer job I'll miss the most is how I'd spend every day meticulously counting down the minutes. Not a bad gig, really.

There is probably no question more familiar to a geek than that of hardware specifications. Everyone wants to know how much juice something has or how fast it can fry an egg. Growing up with old computers salvaged from high schools, I’ve never really been too keen on that notion. I was always more interested [...]

The Box: Worth a 1000th Post

An amazing game. Portugal beats North Korea 7-0, which is pretty good considering North Korea held Brazil at 2-1. This goal by Ronaldo was one of the highlights, due to the sheer lunacy of it. Watch the clip. Really hoping Portugal can play that well for the rest of the tournament. I'm also hoping that [...]

Soup of the Day: I Think It’s Alright

So, folks, the lifeposts are coming. Just like Half Life 2: Episode 3 and Futurama are coming; slowly but surely. In the meantime, I’d like to share a historical story that makes me happy on the inside. So I’m watching Forrest Gump for the millionth time – because it’s the greatest film that was ever [...]

Roborant: So You’re a Little bit Older, and a Lot less Bolder Than You Used to be, So You Used to Shake ‘em Down, But Now You Stop and Think about Your Dignity

Topical Posting? Why not! I picked this article out of my gmail news headline filter: A-List Stars Flailing at the Box Office It’s a decent read. I was gonna block-quote some of it, but I couldn’t find a really choice part. The article got me thinking though. So much so that after I had closed [...]

mediafilesegmenter requires an mpeg stream for input I believe. That is why piping ffmpeg into mediastreamsegmenter is so handy because you can transcode on the fly.

Try transcoding the file to an mp3 and see what happens.

Apparently their making a movie version of Daemon now.

I guess I'll have to read it before the movie comes out so I can be disappointed by the adaptation.

Also, I vaguely remember reading this (or at least reading about Little Brother). I thought that people commented on that post though, so I must be mistaken.

I'm taking a sci-fi english course at UW in the Winter. I wonder if this will be their "gadget" fiction book selection, since it seems to be a pretty big deal.<[...]

Stew commented on "I Think It’s Alright"

Well, now, you seem to be reading things that aren’t there. My first paragraph was merely stating the facts behind the case. Realistically, Sinclair was not put away for dealing two joints; he was put away for being an outspoken left-wing activist during the cold war. At no point did I support this as being the ideal course of action, merely the reality of communist paranoia of the United States government. This is not comparing Sinclair to Al Capone on a criminal level, but the conditions of[...]

Liam commented on "I Think It’s Alright"

Your comment is slightly misleading... First you explain that he was actually a political prisoner spreading dangerous ideas, and then you go on to compare him to a vicious gangster. Do you know why they couldn't get Al Capone, Stew? He fucking murdered anyone who got in his way; he bribed, threatened, and extorted every politician, policeman, and jury member he could get his fucking hands on; and when that failed he could usually count on the help of the highest-priced defence lawyers in the[...]

Stew commented on "I Think It’s Alright"

He was an outspoken Far-Left activist during the height of the Cold War. The real reason they put him away was so he would stop spreading anti-capitalist and pro-anarchist messages through his extensive written connections. Might as well scare the shit out of kids smoking pot at the same time! It was like getting Al Capone 11 years in Alcatraz for tax evasion. They just needed a reason to put Sinclair away. Personally, I don't really care how long they throw away a guy who has two joints on hi[...]

Liam commented on "I Think It’s Alright"

10 years for 2 joints? That is bullshit. I'm no fan of hippies, there were plenty of them in Guelph. And the anarchists were worse. But if you think that 5 years in Federal Pound-me-in-the-ass Prison (to take the phrase from Badass of the Week) per joint is a punishment that fits the crime, then I hope you're not considering law or politics in your future, Stew.[...]
