Yes, this seems like a good idea. I'll be getting back to Sydney tomorrow, so I can work on it then.

« on: January 13, 2014, 09:30:15 PM »But the market did not die. It merely split in half. There are people that generate content and people that absorb content. If you want to absorb content, you get a tablet. Light, easy to use, made for idiots. But if you want to make something, you need a PC.
No.

When I did exactly this, you told me to get a tablet.
I think you just like telling people they're wrong.

My sleep cycle got so broken that I don't even really have a well-defined cycle anymore. I occasionally stick to a temporary one when I really do need to be up at a certain time, but even then it's a struggle. It's kind of fucked.

I have updated the Manifesto to remove pizaaplanet's real name, at his request. This does not constitute a new version of the Manifesto, it is a short-term modification to protect user privacy, in accordance with clause 6 of the Manifesto.

Does one of the new Council members want to write up a blog post about the newly formed Council? I will then publish it on the homepage, with your name (real name or username; your choice) as credit.

They have no place in an open web, which is why Mozilla hasn't been too hasty to implement them.

The video and audio played fine in both Chromium and FireFox, just to elaborate.
Both work fine for me in Chromium, too.
Either Ubuntu has patched Firefox to support proprietary codecs, or you're using a more recent version of Firefox (they only added support upstream recently).

Seriously, though, I was just letting you and PP know that the video problem that you had seems to be isolated to you so far.

Arts & Entertainment / Re: Star Trek
« on: December 23, 2013, 02:53:50 PM »That was a terrible episode, and Riker was so fat!
I thought it was a good finale, given the constraint of having to end the series three seasons early. The writers obviously had a direction they were taking the series in which had to be accelerated once it got cancelled, and the way they wrote the finale was a good way of telling the story they wanted to.
Which series was your favorite?
If I had to pick, it would be a close tie between TOS and Voyager. But not by very much; I like them all. I'd say there's more variation within each series than between the series.
I think DS9 has the best writing of the whole series, and it has the fewest shit episodes.
DS9 is good, but basically all of season 5 was a bore for me. It felt like they just wrote an entire season of filler. Aside from that, it's a great series.
I liked Enterprise a lot in general, but I didn't like the Xindi plot arc at all.
Really? I found the series really started to pick up at that point.
TNG has the best three Star Trek episodes of the whole franchise: Best of Both Worlds I and II, and Q Who.
I'd have to strongly disagree. My three favourite episodes are two from TOS (The Cage and Miri) and one from TNG (The Inner Light).
The main reason I wouldn't say I have episodes I especially favour after TNG is that they started to spread stories across multiple episodes, so it's harder to pick one.

I'd also like to clarify what this means for the future.
Previously, things have seemingly randomly broken while PizzaPlanet or myself was making changes to the forum. Now, with the code managed in git, we can easily spin up any number of identical staging environments to experiment with.
PizzaPlanet and I already each have our own staging environment to test changes, and we'll make sure things work there before we roll out the changes to here, so your everyday posting will no longer be impacted by us making untested changes.
