I remember Tatyana Ali, as a young girl in the eighties, on some TV show saying her name over and over again. I thought it was on that The Cosby Show when Stevie Wonder has a sampling keyboard but IMDB says she was only on one TCS in a Rudy-centric episode about a school dance as "girl". It says she was on Sesame Street a bunch, but I really don't think I watched that show at that time unless it was on incidentally. Anyone have any idea what I'm thinking of?

I'm about to buy a used Kindle and they claim it's the 2nd generation Kindle..but it's graphite. Did the 2nd generation Kindle come in graphite? I've looked all over Amazon and it seems like the 2nd generation only came in white. Does this mean they're really selling the current generation one?

If it's graphite it's either the 3rd generation Kindle or the second generation Kindle DX (which came out at about the same time and has the same kind of improved screen).

If you're getting a larger screen than you expected, it's a Kindle DX Graphite, released almost a month before the Kindle 3. Here's a screen comparison between the Kindle 2 (in front) and the Kindle DX.

I think there is a simple answer to this but I cant seem to find it, I work on a lot of video work and I would like to be able to send my edits to coworkers and other film makers to get feedback, uploading to YouTube each time I make a new edit takes forever. The files are ~150mb so its too big for yousendit.com Anyone have advice?

Also megaupload, rapidshare, megavideo, etc. Megavideo might be the best place because it has a built in player so people can watch it streaming wihout having to wait for the download.

kapalama posted:Also megaupload, rapidshare, megavideo, etc. Actually you can view things through the onsite video player that were uploaded to MegaUpload as well, just by adding video/ after the last slash (ie http://www.megaupload.com/video/?d=789). Though I wouldn't recommend using MegaVideo or MegaUpload since their servers have to convert the file before it can be played on the onsite player, which sometimes takes really long or never properly works at all. If you're working with a group, I'd suggest DropBox. It's incredibly easy and has a lot of features for sharing folders between users that you could use in this situation. The only problem is that everyone who belongs to the shared folder will have to download the file, though that's not something that can't easily be circumvented just using more and more specific shared folders. e: Also remember that you can use archiving tools like Winrar or (preferably) 7zip to compress the file (though in your case it probably won't do much) but also split it up into smaller files that you can upload to sites with size caps. Usually, though, they're also the sites where you have to buy a premium membership or wait a hour or whatever between downloads, so you'd have to upload the parts to several different websites and as you can see this is in many ways far from ideal. But it's possible. Hell, you could also mail the parts through Gmail, though the max size is 25MB so you'd have to split it up into ~6 parts.

Is there a way to edit the tags on .avi files? VLC sometimes gets some tag info from them and I would love to have either just have VLC use the actual file name or I would love a way to edit the tags themselves. On a Mac but I have access to PCs. kind of.

Is there a meaning behind white suspenders in Teen fashion? My daughter put profound importance on acquiring white suspenders, and I got a little curious. Is it a hip hop/latin culture thing? Or are we raising our own lil' neo nazi without even knowing it? Or, does she just want a unique way of holding up her britches and I'm just a megaparanoid dad who doesn't "get it  "?

Thanks. Even having to ask this question made me feel every single day of my thirty-seven years. But I'm glad to know that it's just some silly hipster thing. Now, I can focus on encouraging her burgeoning interest in meteorology, seeing as how she's suddenly fascinated by websites that track the leading edges of advancing weather systems...

That sort of subtlety tells me you might be overthinking what teens feel about fashion. She wants to wear what other people around her are wearing. Nothing like high school for echo chamber reinforcement of what other people are doing/thinking. I had the rather unique experience of moving from vastly different places to other different places 7 times from ninth grade to graduation, which made me an expert in recognizing that what is fashionable one place is laughably unfashionable another place for no reason other than "teenagers are teenagers". Leading edge one place, out of fashion another place, back into fashion the next place. And I never changed what I wore because I was poor.

If the kitchen sink in my second floor apartment is draining extremely slowly but the bathroom sink is fine, would it be correct to assume the blockage is in the U-bend underneath the kitchen sink rather than further down? Hoping to save money on a a plumber and thinking if the blockage is there I can just take the U-bend off and clean it out myself.

You should almost always assume that since taking of the pipe there is usually very simple and the most common place, especially in kitchen sinks.

ANd beware, the kitchen P trap is almost always falling apart. If it is metal, you can bet that when you take it off, it will disintegrate. Take a picture of the sink pipes to home depot and buy the necessary plastic or rubber replacement part before hand.Make sure and check the conditon of the wall pipe as well, since it is badly corroded it might fail too. Of course if it is all already plastic you are golden. If you buy the replacement part, think about getting one with a flexy bit. Then you can simply squeeze it to clear clogs, and alignment may not be as much of a hassle.

Yeah it's all plastic. Pretty new building. Thanks for the help guys. Trying to avoid the Drano (or similar chemical) option since ventilation in the apartment is poor. Already tried the wussy option of baking soda and vinegar to no effect.

This should be pretty funny to ask here, as it's an entirely serious question, despite the absurdity inherent in it. You can live in a really nice beach house (where you can see dolphins from the back yard) literally walking distance from Oprah's house. loving beautiful area. But. You HAVE to smoke methamphetamine every day, multiple times. Whether that's your thing or not. Essentially you are required to be high on meth all day. All of your bills are paid, and you obviously don't need food. If you DON'T you are entirely homeless, penniless, and entirely without resources. You have a t-shirt and some jeans, and it's hitting around ~40F at night. In this 'theoretical' situation, what would YOU do? This may be a weird question for this thread, but I figured it didn't need its own thread. Although that is exactly the situation I'm in. However goons give lovely advice anyway, especially all you '04+s

My question concerns Ebay, so maybe I should put it on SHSC, but this seems like a good place to anyway... Does anyone know if there is such a app/service for Ebay that I can tell it a specific search query, and it will notify me (by email or whatever) every time a new item is listed that matches my query? So basically, it would have to check Ebay every 1 minute or 5 minutes, and send me an email if there is a new item that pops up. Something like the built in one on Ebay already there would be good but it only emails me one time per day at 9:00 AM in the morning.

Just for you specifically, you get a second question. What if your alternative to smoking meth every day is to be prostituted out to elderly gay men by your mother (As in full anal pentration)? Without pay. Your earnings would be flipped into rent. Again it would be really creative if I could come up with this poo poo. That's why it's funny that I'm posting it. Because I'm not creative  .

If this is a mystically-guaranteed thing that's gonna go on forever, I think I'd smoke me some meth. I mean if those were the absolute only two options and you were guaranteed to be forced into homelessness and would never be allowed to make a penny or accumulate any sort of resources necessary for living, I guess being a pampered meth addict would be a better choice. However, if this was just a real-life situation it would be a much easier choice in the other direction. You could stay in a nice house for a while, at least at the whim of a presumably meth-addicted patron, but I can't see "you have to smoke meth or get the gently caress out" as being a very stable or long-term living situation. I would bet good money that the meth house choice would probably end up in homelessness anyway (at best), and at least you could start out in that situation now while you're younger and not a drug addict. edit: epsilon-6 posted:This is not for the rest of your life.

When the Kindle saysAmazon posted:Battery Life of One Month – A single charge lasts up to one month with wireless off How accurate is that? How long of actual reading can you get between charges? I'm deciding between a Kindle and a Nook and one thing is battery life. Kindle has a longer one but you can get replacement batteries for the Nook.
