Who's doing it? iOS or Android? Current/past projects?

So I'm sure most people here are somehow involved in tech. What's everyone up to these days?

What is the best way to approach this? Haven't done web development in a few years, but it seems to me its basically a public guest book with a rating system? If anyone wants to talk about the project and is perhaps interested in coming on board as an engineer, PM me.

The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.

Which leads to...

The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate.

And..

And the country already has the highest number of HIV infections of any nation.

This is a project I had planned on tackling this coming weekend, but I thought maybe somebody here was bored and would want some additional php practice. Here's what I'm trying to do:

I need a simple blog-like piece of software, essentially allowing anybody to update. So there would be a form with their message and a anti-spam captcha (no other info is required) that would post whatever they put onto the main page. There should be a login for at least 1 admin to allow for moderation. I'd like each individual post to have a link where other users can post comments. Additional feature that isn't required but would be cool if you want the challenge is Facebook Connect so users who post comments (or post a message) could link with their Facebook account and display their name. Nothing else is really required except to disallow code in the posts so nothing gets hacked.

Design works not necessary unless you're an overachiever. ;)

Nanotech could make humans immortal by 2040

Within 15 years, we will reverse this loss of remaining life expectancy. We will be adding more time than is going by."

"You could have some self-replicating nanobot that could create copies of itself... and ultimately, within 90 replications, it could devour the body it's in or all humans if it becomes a non-biological plague," said Kurzweil. "Technology is not a utopia. It's a double-edged sword and always has been since we first had fire."

I want to make a website that is pretty much identical in function to Texts from Last Night. (Users can submit for review, post comments, etc.) I know there are tutorials and software packages out that mirror twitter functionality, and I think it might be easier to extend upon one of those. Any suggestions or run down of what this type of site is actually going to entail? Or anybody interested in working on it?

does anyone have any information or links to information or recommended reading on the recognition/perception of signs? I've had overcoming feelings of sign recognition recently, pointing to a significant life decision I've been pondering. It's all been very situational and has cleared things up to the extent that it feels way more than coincidental. Parts have even felt spiritual. I'm interested in reading more about it from not only a supernatural and religious perspective but also just the subconscious connecting of events or sightings. Personal opinion is also welcome.

What is a simple way to host an mp3 file for listening but hiding the filepath/disable downloading for the listener? I need to share a beat with a rapper but don't want him to be able to download it.

Does anyone have one to spare? I need to get business cards printed ASAP (submit design to printer tomorrow!) and I don't want to put my cell phone on there.

Please & Thanks!!

First, where did the web dev forum go?

Here's what I want to do. I want a slide show of images on my website, but I want them to pool from Facebook (specifically a group album). Bonus points if tags remain in place. Is there anything out there that does this? The best I found on Google were things FOR facebook (i.e. posting slideshows on your profile.)

TIA.

Extra credit question that I'm not too sure about, maybe somebody can help out.

"If you wanted to find out whether two quantities x and y satisfy a relation given by y=pq^x     where p and q are constants, how would you be able to find p and q from your graph?"

You'd be using semi-log graph paper and the graph I suppose is linear-log. How do you find p and q graphically? Just pick points?

Just watch, I'm watching it now and don't want to explain.

Future of search/research?

What's everyone's opinion on taking time off from school for an internship? This is my situation:

I left the college I was at this semester, spent this semester taking classes at a local college. I didn't really get my applications in for the Fall because I wasn't too sure where I actually wanted to go. I ended up getting one in to a university near DC  and I'll probably get into it. It's an OK school but not the best.

But then I was thinking. While I've been home I had an internship, and then this summer I'll be taking my science at a top science institution. so those things look good. I could probably get a fall semester internship and take another semester "off" and possibly transfer into a top tier institution. I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of being a semester or more behind. I'm inclined to think that an additional year of college won't matter greatly, especially if my time was spent in productive things.

So this summer a friend and I are taking classes at Virginia Tech. He needs physics for med school and I need a lab science so I decided to enroll in physics with him. It's something that I think would be cool to learn but something that I wouldn't take on my own since science/math aren't my strong subjects. He's the opposite in that science is his thing, and since we have an apartment together I figured this would be a chance for me to take it, do well, and have him help me when I need it. I'm guessing most people here have probably taken it, so what should I read up on before I start the class to kind of get a head start? It's the non-calculus variety.

At least their local community chose the smoking laws, and not the federal government, over a thousand miles away.

yeah.

Blaze Edit:  Untrashed this.  While it really doesn't add much, it's still a better post than most of the stuff in here.


rabbit edit: Retrashed these.  They are worthless.

At the turn of the 20th Century, when the chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of the government and the spread of the Industrial Age, a former outlaw, John Marston, is sent across the American frontier, to help bring the rule of law.

The debut trailer for Rockstar Games Red Dead Redemption features music from the game and is comprised entirely of gameplay footage.

I never played the first one but I did play GUN. Hopefully this is a little better.

But it died in America.

Yeah.  It.  I don't know the gender of the child, nor do I care much.  Since I don't know the gender, I used the neuter.  Are you done being a dick yet?

You called a child an it, but I'm the dick? Silly rabbit.
