    Yes it's CS5 and nope. not free. Quite expensive without the student discount, actually.

    Yeah, student discount is awesome, especially mine... It's called 'Free Torrents', and I think it's available to all students worldwide...

    FREEMAN'S MIND: EPISODE 38

    maybe release it as MKV or MP4

     

    That will be a sad day... In fact, I believe, the best container still is .AVI (especially for short clips where you don't need to worry about 2 or 4GB limitations and types) and XviD or DivX are powerful enough codecs to provide good quality at reasonable bitrates.

     

    Regards

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats

     

    Compare AVI to either of the other formats... Not anything to support your statement there really...

     

    The only thing MKV doesn't have is DVD menu support.

     

    MP4 has video/audio format restrictions, and minor subtitle problems.

     

    AVI has many issues, including a lack of B-frame support which causes issues with H.264. (there is a noticeable difference of quality between H.264 and Xvid if you're someone that sees how LQ YouTube is)

    Capitalism vs. Statism

    You keep saying it's Anarchy, but I've never once said anything except RATIONAL ANARCHY.

     

    Which I've said many times, is an absurd contradiction in terms.

    I feel I must quote myself here...

    You obviously STILL haven't read up on it.

     

     

    No laws except the unspoken/unwritten ones that everyone knows about.

     

    Unspoken/unwritten ones means subjective, undefinable, rules that are based off of whims.

    They are not undefinable, I just defined them for you.

    (do unto others, etc.)

    No whims involved, they have been the basis of civilization throughout known history. I have yet to see a civilization that didn't use them as a base for the laws.

     

     

    You have a disagreement, you take the issue to the community. Whoever the community sides with, wins.

     

    There is no such thing as a "community"; when you say "community", you mean "a group of individuals".

    Quit with the false definitions, they just make you look like an idiot... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/community

     

    Wait, nevermind... Keep up the false definitions, they make you look like an idiot.

     

    So in essence, you're saying that a group votes (a group doesn't think, so when a group 'decides' something, this is a majority vote) The community has no rules to follow; the community ARE the rules--this means anything.

     

    This is mob rule, no matter how you put it.

    I think I mentioned this before, but I'll post it again anyways.

     

    You're looking at your ideal world and comparing it to the worst you can think of for mine. How about I just start portraying your ideals where the judges are all paid off to make a ruling based on what just one person wants, or where the government is corrupt enough to put a idiot on the bench who can't find truth if it walked up and slapped him repeatedly while yelling "I'm the truth"?

     

     

    You don't like it, you are perfectly free to leave, or not bother arguing again.

     

    This is Argument from Dismissal fallacy. Just because I'm free to leave does not invalidate my claim that anarchy is wrong.

    You have a problem with how it's run, and no one will change, you leave. How has it ever been different anywhere? Why do you think that should ever change? How would you change it, and how could you ever change it?

     

     

    If you murder someone, expect the entire community to come gunning for you. You steal something from someone, expect most of your stuff to be dispersed throughout the community by the time you get home. The law keeps itself though the community, not through a police force.

     

    Your context-dropping skills continue to baffle me.

     

    There's a reason for the court and the appeal system: the government presents their evidence to a judge and the defendant questions the evidence. If any party feels important evidence was missing, they can appeal. Each hearing is fair and most importantly, objective.

     

    Men are not infallible: that's why even if the public is certain that a suspect is guilty, he still receives a fair trial to review the evidence. *additional unrelated content*

     

    Same goes for stealing. What is stealing? What are the degrees of punishment for certain times of stealing? Again, no man can flip through a book and learn what exactly is forbidden and what exactly would be the punishment should he choose to commit the crime; they would only be answered through unwritted laws--subjective laws that are impossible to follow. You said there wouldn't be a court of law. So...an individual is suspected of stealing and the mobs just raids his house? That's certainly what it seems like you're telling me.

     

    You can't drop a context and expect everything else to be the same. Out of context, "murderers and thieves would be punished in anarchy by the community" sounds great--in its context, it's whim-worshiping mob rule.

     

    *additional unrelated content*

    First off, it's not if you suspect something, it's if someone did something. If you suspect your friends of lying to you, do you go around telling everyone that they lie, or do you wait and find proof of their lie, and then confront them with it? Same principle...

     

    Same goes for stealing. What is stealing?

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/steal

     

    What are the degrees of punishment for certain times of stealing?

    Do unto others... In other words, whatever he/she steals gets returned, and the reparations are equivalent/equivalent value item/s removed from the possession of the thief... This I already mentioned, though you seem to have conveniently forgotten that part. (and many others along the way)

     

    If you're thinking of someone that doesn't have anything of value stealing something, he would likely be expelled from the community and told not to return on pain of death. (whether it is just an idle threat or not depends on how serious the crime is) If it's a minor thing like stealing food to stay alive, why wouldn't it just be forgiven? There are very few people in the world that selfish.

    Ok, here it is... I'm leaving for college on the 20th, but I haven't called to find out what time my flight is. I will be calling tomorrow. Predict the time I'll be leaving in GMT. (that is the +-0 hours timezone)

     

    My prediction: 10am.

    Erg, unfortunately this goes against the rules twofold... we can't check or you haven't provided website where we can check and the event must be minimum 6 days from now :( The point of those rules was important and to get enough players and so it will be fair.

    Then someone else gets to do it, since I can't find anything else happening in that timeframe.

    That depends on what your definition of "worst" is... I thnk the worst I've really been caught for would have to be speeding, and I wasn't even going as fast as I usually do... lol

     

    WTF? 5 Steam games got updated in the last 3 minutes...

     

     

    Ok, so who is your "sex idol"? (the one that you would 'do' if any opportunity ever presented itself)
