» Using text variable to control MC timelinesI have an external text file that flash loads variables from. each variable contains a number that corresponds to a frame in a movie clip instance. What I would like to do is - have the main time line tell each instance name of each movie clip to goto and stop on it's corresponding value. My text file includes the following: bapparel=5&bfootwear=70&bretail=35 there are thee instances of a MC on the main time line. Each one is named (bappaerl, bfootwear, bretail, respectively.)

» Is the over-zealousness of religion the reason many Atheists come about?
I know a ton of people who went to Catholic school and came out either flat out Atheist or just skeptical of all religion. I never agreed with the way Catholic school was done, and it seems very anti-Christian. I still am Catholic though. Do you also think that many Christians miss the point of Christianity? That being the betterment of the individual and man kind.It's a start, but logically speaking, just because one religion is completely wrong doesn't mean gods don't exist. Of course, the wrongness of a religion makes you ask yourself, if there really is a god why are all of the people who worship it so messed up? By the way, the point of Christianity is not to better yourself and mankind. The point is for you ...... - 2010-02-07

» Why do black people address each other as Ni ger yet when a white person does so its racist?
It doesn't matter if a person is black or white they still shouldn't be saying it! But when a black person says it to another black person they aren't saying it in a racist way, the person isn't discriminating against the other black person. Most of the time if a white person calls a black person the 'n' word they are discriminating and are racist but if you go to the ghetto you'll hear white people call their friends this and their black friends will call them the same. So it depends on how they are saying it, either way I think it's wrong to call people this. You hear it so much in rap, mostly gangsta rap which mostly relates to the ghetto.

» How can I keep up my Japanese?
So, in 2006 I was an exchange student in Japan for a year. I had never taken a formal Japanese class but while I was in Japan I learned Japanese pretty good. To the point where I could hold a casual conversation in Japanese. And my reading and writing is decent. Since I have been back in America I have been trying hard to keep up my Japanese skills. There are no Japanese classes available where I live and I can only do so much with books and software programs. In 2 years I will be transfering to San Francisco State University where I will be able to take Japanese classes, but untill then, whats the best way for me to keep study Japanese?Have you ever heard of an SRS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition)?

» FM 2006/Winning Eleven (aka Pro Evolution Soccer)
Yes I have both games, and both games distract me immensely!! :mad: :D Btw, I have question. In WE9, for free kicks, is there a button to press to make my players go all the way up to contest for headers in the box or near the box? It always seems as though the players even in coming-from-behind situations are too close to the freekick that when I loft the ball towards the penalty box, the gk will always get it. Any suggestions?Is FM "Football Manager"? If so, I just want to mention that the best football management computer game series is by far the Anstoss series :D.

» Difference between these performance car modifications?
What is the difference between a super charger and a turbo charger???Well, one major difference is price. Superchargers can start at $1500, while turbos can be only a few hundred. The second major difference is the way in which they work. Turbochargers are attached to both the intake and exhaust systems, and consist of two turbines. The exhaust that comes out of the engine under pressure spins the exhaust turbine, which in turn spins the intake turbine. This forces more air into the engine (specifically the cylinder), allowing more fuel to be added, and therefore more bang for every explosion in the cyliner. It does not rob the engine of any power and is common on big diesel engines to add power. Superchargers are belt-driven. This...... - 2010-02-07

» Nukudonarudo v McDonalds
There was a whopper of a battle between a sex service in Chiba and hamburger behemoth McDonald's that left the call girl business far from lovin' it. The sex service called itself Nukudonarudo, a play on words taken from nukeru, slang Japanese for ejaculation, and Makudonarudo, the local pronunciation of McDonald's. "We thought it'd be better to have a name with impact. It came about by coincidence because there was a McDonald's restaurant in front of us at the time we were meeting to discuss the service name," the operator of Nukudonarudo tells Shukan Gendai. "In this business, it's better to create a bit of a stir, so we didn't mind if they sued us." Nukudonarudo also copied McDonald's menus to label its sex services. While the ...... - 2010-02-07
» T4a. Are wrestling skills really necessary to get over?
Not necessarily. To be the best in a promotion these days, you don't need to be exceptional. You can just have a really good following and stick to the basics. Also, gimmick plays a lot into this.Honestly, as much as I hate to say this, no its not. Many wrestlers such as Batista get over with the crowd even if they don't have many good wrestling skills. Today, WWE fans pay attention to different things (such as gimmicks, looks, character, size, etc.) besides skills that make them like a wrestler. Obviously, it shouldnt be like that but unfortunately it is.Nope I've Seen Face's and heel's on occasion get over without/or very little in-ring ability the ability to be marketed is a major factor, also the appeal to th...... - 2010-02-07

» Wordpress PHP/RSS/ANYTHING in flash?
Hello, Pardon any pending noobishness, but... Does anyone know how to import wordpress generated rss (the wp-rss2.php file I'm assuming) into flash? Actually hoping to import in any format. Looking to use the WP admin to blog, Flash to display. I'm using the latest version of word press (1.5) and Flash 8, but have other versions of Flash available at work. It seems like it should be simple. Like most difficult things, I guess.. Thanks for stress/headache relief in any form :) RodgerWell, the RSS that is generated is generated in the form of an XML file. So PHP, the technology, interprets the code, and outputs an xml file, although the file ends in .php. So you would load this in the same way as an XML file. There's a good ...... - 2010-02-07

Why?Because we don't see any evidence, or need, for a god. BTW, it's "atheist," not "athiest." ** DRINK **I remember the exact moment i became atheist. I was sitting in a cold, cold church at zero dark thirty, i think it was like 5:30am on a sunday. I was 14 at the time, sitting next to my older brothers and sister, and on my left were my parents. I looked around at all the people in the church, and none looked happy or like they even wanted to be there. So i go home, think about that for a bit and head to the library.

Hi guys, I have a little problem ... Right now I am tagging my music collection in order to use it with the XBMC library.

» FURBLE PUZZLE
One of my collueges asked me this question. I came up with a solution but it was apparently wrong. Lets see if you can come up with a solution. Good luck! Consider two breeding strategies of the fictional Furble. Dominator Furbles can fight for a breeding territory, and if they win, will be able to rear 10 offspring. An alternative is to share territory with another Furble which will allow each to rear 5 offspring. Sharers who attempt to share with dominators will be forced out of the territory, although they will be able to find a new territory. Assume sharers become extra cautious after encountering a dominator and so will always find another territory to share the next time around, but due to lost time will only be able to produce 3...... - 2010-02-07
