JWPlayer will probably do all you need: http://www.longtailv...ayers/jw-flv-player/i think you're right! I was just using it right now, and yes, it seems to have everything I could hope for. Thanks!-nudone (February 20, 2011, 04:36 PM)
Can't you just wrap the player in a DIV and do all the CSS styling you want?I tried, but it kept getting overruled by something, and I couldn't see how to fix it.

Since you have an account on the member server, and mouser plans on setting up a blog for us, I think you could easily start writing for that, if you want....the same stuff you are doing now.Thanks app! I just posted.-app103 (February 19, 2011, 12:03 AM)

Something many programmers and technical types have trouble understanding is the notion of 'fuzzy.'This is soooooo true. This is probably my biggest struggle/flaw in my life. But I'm working on it. And as far as girls go, there's no consistency to it. I've known girls who were attracted to this quality of mine, and others who were just disgusted by it. Man, this article really makes me look in the mirror! I'm totally a well actualista. it's cool though, nobody is perfect. My personality is well balanced out with my group of friends. We keep each other in check.
In the fuzzy universe of human interaction, high degrees of accuracy aren't necessary in order for it to function.
Those who, almost by reflex, attempt to turn what's "good enough" into what's "optimal" do so at their peril.

I've played through the tutorial. This is a very cool piece of software. But I have one question: Why?I think the description overstates the program's capabilities. It may be able to do all of those things, but not easily (from what I've seen). I find it handy for making outlines, that's all. So it's outline creation with a nifty interface for it. A lot of other programs do outlines, yes. but what treesheets offers a certain freedom in the outline...i'm having a hard time explaining it.
I have no idea how could anyone organize anything in TreeSheets. Perhaps I am too dumb to imagine how on earth it could be used to "replace for spreadsheets, mind mappers, outliners, PIMs, text editors and small databases."
Anyone has a real-world examples?
Edit: found examples in example folder. Now wondering how could play todo with it.-electronixtar (February 18, 2011, 07:57 AM)
You're welcome.....now get your a**e over to the Block/Unblock network thread and tell me if it workshaha...sorry, my bad.-4wd (February 17, 2011, 11:00 PM)
2. Content CreationI hate that shit!!! Yet here I am writing for them. I still don't necessarily have a problem with it logically, it just feels funny. Are they going to take my articles and make hundreds of articles out of them?
As we’ve mentioned before, content is key to any search marketing campaign. Therefore, there are three content areas that we will target:
1. On-Site Optimization. This includes visible content and source code. We will analyze your site code for errors that may prevent search engines from properly spidering your site. We will also analyze your site’s code-to-text ratio and other coding elements. Lastly, we will review and edit your visible content for optimal keyword density while maintaining sales effectiveness.
2. Article Creation. We will produce one article for every keyword term we, together, choose to promote. Traditionally, this is between 200-400 articles. Each article is well written, informative, and engaging to ensure that they add value to your visitors’ experience in addition to winning great rankings.
Most importantly, we add these pages slowly over several months to ensure your site grows organically. This is a key element Google and other search engines look for when ranking a website – that it is constantly updating and adding new information.
3. Publicity. But we’re not talking about traditional PR here. We develop additional articles that pay particularly close attention to your target audience’s pressure points: the secrets they want to know, the tips they need to hear, the problems and solutions your company addresses.
These articles will not be placed on your website, but will instead be promoted to hundreds of other websites in search of compelling articles on your particular subject. This achieves two objectives: 1) each article links back to your website, earning you one-way links from authoritative sites, and 2) the more independent websites that discuss your company or publish an article written by your company, the better your reputation will be. Your potential customers will find your company discussed on other websites, or see that other websites have endorsed you by publishing your article.
Sure, I've got lots of thoughts on this subject.Thanks soooo much JJ!!! I think you have helped me decide right now. I'm going with the projector. I want to have the most badass theater experience around. I love watching movies almost more than anything. And I love watching it in as close to blackout conditions as possible. Oh baby! And yes, I am fortunate enough to have a large area to do this. The bottom floor of my house is completely open, so I have a 10' high wall and probably 30' wide area available. This is going to be great. I even have a nook area, where everyone wants me to put my tv, but I refuse to. I'm putting in the main living room area. Why should I watch movies in the corner when I can use the main area for it and have plenty of room for guests? That's a common syndrome in my family which I have railed against for years. They like to take the biggest room in the house, call it the "living room" and use it about 5 times a year. Then they take the "den" which is one of the smaller rooms available, and spend most of their lives there. No. I will not do that. I remember being so pissed about that as a kid in my parent's house. They have this huge room which is like half the house, and they only use it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.I'll try to just make it easy for you though. IF light is not a concern *and* you don't care about 3D, *and* you have no interest in regularly using your HTPC as a "PC" (i.e browsing the web on it or something), then a projector will give you greater size with good sharpness. It is *not* pixel-level sharpness, which is what an LCD or Plasma will get you, so it's not ideal for reading small text, e.g. a website, but it *does* make movies look good.
In fact some would argue a projector makes movies look better than LCD or Plasma, at least in the right viewing conditions (darkness and a good projection surface, ideally a professional screen). This is because pure digital, pixel-level detail is actually not necessarily a good thing. What projectors and analog TVs do is kind of "fill in the details" a bit, at least in a sense (not literally; no *new* and "correct" information is generated). You may have witnessed this phenomenon yourself in fact where, for example, seeing old broadcast TV on an LCD TV of similar size to an analog TV somehow still looks way worse. Why? Because it is displaying *exactly what is in the signal and nothing more*. An analog TV is a bit "softer", but since there is not much resolution in a standard definition signal to begin with, the slight softening is actually a good thing; it makes things look better. Now when you have a good quality projector the resolution is much higher so detail *is* presented fairly clearly, but there is still a bit of "softening", especially on larger projection surfaces (e.g. 10'), and this again can actually enhance the viewing experience, *particularly* at those large sizes and/or with lower resolution source content. I'd rather watch crappy YouTube videos on a projector than an LCD for example.
Anyway all this does assume that you have a place in your house where you can effectively mount and project a 10' picture. If you do, you will be in love with the combination of size and quality it can create in a dark room. The majority of people do *not* have the luxury of that kind of space nor ability to dedicate a room more or less to media appreciation (i.e. a "theater room"), and a projector in a more mixed environment like a living room may not be ideal, unless you spend a bit of money to mount your projector recessed, along with your screen (because surely nobody wants a 10'+ space of blank wall in their living room, right?
Anyway, I *do* use my 52" Plasma for computer activities, so I prefer it to a projector, but if I had the space and a dedicated "theater" room I'd probably go projector, especially with the costs of LCDs over 60". All that being said if I had the money I might just go for this:

Projectors will mitigate any compression artifact issues you'd see at reasonably high bitrates (e.g. 8-12GB files for 1080P, 4-8GB for 720P) because they inherently have some softening due to image enlargement in the projection process.JJ, I'm a little torn on this issue. Would it be a better experience for me if I get a really big flat panel, or if I get a projector? Light is not an issue since I almost exclusively watch tv/movies in the dark. So I don't care how visible things are when there's a lot of light. I like the projector for being able to really get a HUGE screen, which is extremely appealing to me. But i don't want to regret a noticeably poorer picture quality. But then, i don't want to regret settling for a 50" TV when I could have a 10' TV. Size matters...that's what "they" tell me. So can you help me make a decision on this? You seem to have already gone down this whole HTPC path.-JavaJones (February 17, 2011, 03:04 PM)
Hope that helps.You kidding?! That was amazing, man. yes it helps very much. So much, I'm almost compelled to have an article on my website for others to access.-JavaJones (February 17, 2011, 02:55 PM)
This is the drive that goes into OEM PCs, or when your family member wants more storage space in their 'CPU' to hold more pictures from 'the intarnets'. Think value."Oh man, that had me rolling. Great line man! You deserve a level 3:
