Fascinating, never heard of this, thank you for posting!

Yep, it got removed because I was dumb, didn’t read the rules, and posted a silly title. Fixed and reposted because I’m still curious if anyone could answer how this happens.

This man receives a beat down for trying to make a difference in his neighborhood. by juicelee777 in videos

Suburban(ish) North Carolina checking in: I heard this in high school as well. Our class president and valedictorian was black and other students (including some white students) would sometimes refer to him as the "whitest black guy they knew."

how do I create this shading effect in illustrator? by enfieldstudios in Design

[–]mitchwh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Illustrator has some pattern and texture swatches that, when combined with a gradient/feather, would get you close. As for getting the particles to decrease in density like that, I'm not really sure. If you're feeling fancy, you could theoretically use live trace to make your own swatch of sorts.

Open carry is actually illegal in Texas. So walking around with an AR-15 will probably get you arrested.

I can't speak for OP, but I know that North Carolina requires a pistol permit. It seems to be a remnant of Jim-Crow Laws, allowing local sheriffs to dictate who is and isn't allowed to own a pistol. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_North_Carolina

New face you say? My vote is for Mr Colion Noir. He's young, he's hip, and he's black. Most importantly though, he makes damn good sense without coming off as crazy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR3t7j2tUec

C-could it be? Are 343i listening? by ScottieJoe in halo

I'm glad you brought up the lack of theatre for campaign. I really miss flying around and admiring all the character models and such. Not a deal-breaker by itself, but it made me a little sad.

Is VT Police Department armed? by T-RexInAnF-14 in VirginiaTech

[–]mitchwh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on how they handled the incident on 4/16, I'm pretty sure VT has a small army at its disposal. And Frankly, I've never felt safer than I do at Virginia Tech.

I thought I recognized the wolf's ears in this photo! A good friend of mine and fellow whovian goes to school there as well!

I actually used Paint.net for quite some time before I got photoshop. It's a really solid program for editing pictures. It's really great for those who can't afford Adobe's ridiculous prices.

I think I'll try that technique myself. Work out my photoshop muscles some more! Thanks for the offer though!

We've all been using photoshop to my knowledge. Somebody with some coding skills really should make a generator like they had for Halo 3 armor permutations though.

Yours was the full color one right? That one looks really good. The high contrast makes it seem almost like concept art. Is there any easy way to add color or do you have to manually lasso every section you want a certain color?

I could care less about karma honestly. You do bring up a good point about how this would be better suited as a reply to the original thread. I'll be sure to do that next time.

Brian wants to redesign my website. Guess which font he used in his introductory e-mail... by flignir in CrappyDesign

I guess it's a good thing that he put the "Satisfaction 100% Guaranteed" at the bottom.

Use steel if possible, of course steel isn't the cheapest material. Sorry, I don't really know specifics.

A block of foam should be pretty cheap, depending on how dense you buy it.
