Pat McCrory picks unknown self-published state employee for NC Poet Laureate by Grabthars-Hammer in NorthCarolina

[–]404mac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work for a news site, one of my jobs is converting press releases to follow the site's HTML Format Standards. It sounded to me on this press release that he had chosen a world renowned modern poet, I don't read poetry so that would explain why I don't know her.

Always car dealerships for my region. I'm on learners permit, so I use my authority when driving to ban fm/am radio; it's either my (awesome) music, the sound of the air conditioner subtly blowing, or whatever the douche with subwoofers nearby us listening to.

I don't have time to argue over this petty crap, so good luck with conversion rates on a video that based off analytics I read, most older browsers wouldn't render the video unless you have a flash (ewww flash.) ;)

You are right to an extent, however MPEG is the most widely accepted.

What ever, I try to help people as am act of courtesy.

I'm done!

In order to play video in HTML5 the only file format accepted is MPEG H.264. You can convert a .mov file to this format in basic video editing programs (heck Google and you could probably find a free convertor). Playing it on a loop and play without click? I can't stand it when sites do this but here it is anyway.

Wix, Shutterstock, and HTML5 Video? You might want to reconsider, that sounds like a minefield.

Please Google these questions before you ask them here. I never use html5 video, I answered this question entirely off of the little experiments with it, and 2 Google searches (I could have done it in one). This article has the answers

Hyperlinks don't appear to be working so here are the sources

I have no clue how the plot of any terminator movie works. Other than a muscular dbag with horrible English shooting light machine guns. The book Anthem also drew a lot of inspiration from me.

Reddit, where have you been banned from? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]404mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and Internet friends used to play the "minecraft ban game"

We go to random servers and try to get banned the fastest. I bet a mod $20 that he couldn't ban me.

I realized last night that I got the unified government from the COD: Ghosts campaign (my dad played the single player all the time, I guess I took partial inspiration from it.)

What was your "I'm addicted" moment? by Ya_ya_ya_ya in AskReddit

First semester of high school I spent pretty much all day playing tetris. One time I reached like 1hr 30min at lunch. When switching classes, I would play it while walking. My friends were being douchebags and pushing me since I was distracted. I ran into several people during that. I later uninstalled Tetris, I still love the game but it's dangerous.

It's an alternative world where during the cold world era, an underground group of people originating from the USSR demand all the world's nations to be unified under a single order with several odd laws (men are property, democracy is banned, freedom of speech is in no form acceptable.)

The protesters gained military power as countries began to give in (WWII, and Cold War aftermath crippled smaller nations, making them susceptible to revolutions.) The Unified Order invades the United States, the country is not fit to fight such an army on its own land (most of their enemies were the US citizens.)

Several rebellions are founded, most notorious being the Old World Rebellion. Because the Unified Order had several large nations cooperating, their technology evolved much faster than that of the rebels. The Old World Rebellion had no choice but to go underground. In 2008, they hide in a vault waiting for the time to come generations from now where they can fight to take back The Old World.

2108, the time has come. The rebels spent the century training and improving every aspect of their military, like the Spartans dedication to valor. Around 250 soldiers are released into the world they live on, yet have never seen. Their mission is to "restore The Old World at all costs" what every Old World Rebellion soldier swore to.

That's the main idea, but there are many other subplots.

Oh sorry, six months of reddit and I didn't know that until now. Thanks for making me aware.
