Im not super sure by the way. So might be a good to do some more research before buying.

I know Im mostly annoyed that they came out with the galaxy s4 active a month after I bought my s4. I think its really odd that they have such a rapid release cycle.

I really don't understand Samsungs strategy with all these Galaxy models. It feels like they are releasing a new model every month.

This was great guys thanks for all the amazing music. Cant wait for the next one.

The Rasberry Pi is like a mini computer can be used for the same stuff and more. This is more for prototyping and making stuff like a automated fish feeder. I would get both.

Sorry, this comment is private.

Ive been playing more sc2 then I should for a while now. Other then sc2 I picked up The Last Of Us last week and been enjoying it a lot. Its a nice step back from the stress of laddering.

Same story as me. I also found myself posting more and commenting more then I usually do on reddit because of the great environment.

Huxley  ·  3850 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: The Hidden History of the MLB Playoff Team Logos

I agree VW does a great job in creating balance between the core of the logo and modernization. It's sad to say but the Nazi's really cared about graphic design and typography, so its a great logo to begin with. I don’t know how accurate it is but(I will also link that article below) the Alpha logo has the coat of arms of a Italian family that had victories in the crusades. I always wondered about the Giant fish on Nokia's first iteration.

Could not decide if I should be posting this in a comment or making another post but its relevant to the topic(sorry new here). These are some logo evolutions of major brands over the years. We looked over them in a branding class last year and when I saw this thread reminded of it so I dug it up from last years pdf's. The changes over the years is actually very interesting.

Huxley  ·  3850 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 3D printers beginning to impact the ISS

Just asked my roommate about it(he works at the fablab) Its system is apparently called fused deposition modeling and the one we have isnt any brand a student made a cnc machine for his thesis project and it was hacked into a 3d printer because the school could not buy a one. Still cool but super low resolution.

Great resource thanks. I liked how he goes into detail about each game type, going to read a bunch of them after I get out of work.

Late Night Edit: Just got home from a long day these are going to take a litte more effort then I can handle atm. I read the Strategy Brawl and seemed like a great idea to implement into a dungeon crawler type game with a persistent world,combined with a decision making system it would give you the feeling that the battles you are fighting are also effecting how to game plays out around you while also having direct effects on skill paths and loot. Was a great read and got me thinking about actually making a prototype for my idea. But that will have to wait for tommorow when I can actually think.

Huxley  ·  3850 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What's your job and the best part about it?

Are you my long lost brother ? I do mostly exact same stuff but with more of a focus on interactive media also studying Digital Design. The thing for me its the problem solving and the process of creating something that people will use is what really keeps me going. I also play drums with my old high school band from time to time nothing serious.

Thanks for the explanation man the 3d printer we have in my university works like a cnc machine. So I was wondering what would happen. Yeah Im sure unless its super secret way of producing food they will release some videos.

Huxley  ·  3850 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: I just stumbled across a dirty little secret of Hubski...

Well this is prob the first 404 page I spent 20 minutes on. More reasons to really like this site.

the prices on mtgox are still high how was it a couple weeks ago .? Also this guys a is a idiot for thinking the fbi could not track him. I dont know how tor really works but wasnt the technology first developed by the goverment, so they would be very familiar with the technology and how to track people using it.? Also I can't the fbi be running a farm of exit nodes and tracking everything.?

Hi man I used adobe premiere to edit and a canon 6d(amazing camera) to shoot.

Huxley  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Ask Hubski: What Was The Last Thing You Made? (Fresh Blood Edition!)

looks great man Ive always wanted to get into game development with unity but never can create the time to sit down and learn. More power to you keep on creating.

Huxley  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Ask Hubski: What Was The Last Thing You Made? (Fresh Blood Edition!)

Well my friend's startup is organizing these workshops around the city and the guy who was going to edit the video bailed last minute so I stepped in . We knew the metal smith from a project a few years ago, hes been doing jewelry work for 30 years now and loves to teach people. The sad thing is in Istanbul there is a large artisan community but they are having a hard time finding apprentice's to teach their trade so they are mostly open about passing over information. The people who came found out about the event online.

Huxley  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Ask Hubski: What Was The Last Thing You Made? (Fresh Blood Edition!)

Thanks man, I was very insecure when I gave him the end product hopefully he will let me make a few more. The workshop was amazing but super small. If you are interested I could post some photos of the workshop.

Huxley  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Ask Hubski: What Was The Last Thing You Made? (Fresh Blood Edition!)

A couple weeks ago I gave a shot at video editing for a workshop a friend organized, was a great learning experience. http://vimeo.com/75573491

Checking in from Istanbul, Turkey. Found out about Hubski today and Im hooked.

Huxley  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Small reactors may be nuclear power's future

I can see these being great for low population density areas and developing nations that are city building, but in a highly populated area where you have ainfrastructure in place I dont think we would see a switch from large power plants.

Do they update stuff often.?

Huxley  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: What is your favorite freeware game?

On Android Ive been playing Pixel Dungeon a lot while commuting to work. On pc I would reccomend Iji for some platforming and Soldat(can be super intense if playing with a group of competative people) for crazy multiplayer action.

Huxley  ·  3851 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Valve registers Half Life 3 trademark in Europe...

In my opinion what made the original half life great was the effort Valve put in to give you that immersion feeling while playing, it was simply ahead of its time and changed how fps games tell interactive stories that the player can connect with. Also the mod community and all the great games we have now that started as HL mods also contributed the hype surrounding HL.
