I have like 45 .avi files that Im converting to a .mkv files which Im going to compress using Hanbrake. Is this possible? is there a faster way? Im trying to see if I can compress the .avi straight to a .mkv with Handbrake, but Im not to optimistic that it'll work without converting the .avi first.

Is there a standard male-male audio jack that can transmit sound wire-free? I want to be able to use a laptop, mp3 player (not just an iPod), or any device with a headphone jack to control sound coming out of external speakers on an AUX channel as you would with any other male-male cable.

Leave comments, critique it, or just let know if you enjoyed it. If you have questions I'll happily answer them. The Poem is called "Me of Now or Then?"

"Preface:

Are humans nothing but idealist fools? Scared of the unknown or overconfident in their rational? What is the difference between the lies, the truth, and the nothingness?

The picking of the scab has begun.

Digging, asking, ignoring, rationalizing, forsaking, embracing, for a truth, a reason, anything........just something.

The callousing has begun.

Emotions come of with the scab.They are a causality in the journey for a true reality.

Time is overstated. Memories are understated. Existence is overstated. Consciousness is understated.

Me of Now or Then?

Questions...the enity responsible for making me lose a grip on reality,

For madness has declared its sovereignty over my mind.

I am scared for my sanity,

The thing that makes me "Me".

But only the "Me of Now", or is it the "Me of Then"?

Simply existing until a question changes it all.

I am a yeggman; a seeker of answers to the unknown.

Yet the "Me of Now" sees them as dismay, chaos, a blissful failure to explain the simplicity of nothingness.

Me of now? Me of then?

Concepts so abstract, so aggravating,

And so stressful they are better left unthought.

Explanation needed? Of course, for you can't "see" me.

The present.

The open circle on the timeline.

Here but not.

Ever-changing, unstoppable....progression.

You are not the "You" from 10yrs ago, 10 months ago, 10 days, hours, even seconds.

For the "You of Then" has died, becoming only a distance memory.

Time, overstated.

Memories, understated,

The "You of Now" has never existed and never will,

For the "You of Now" is nothing more than a consciousness pushing the line of the present and the future,

Existence, overstated,

Consciousness, understated.

The Me of Now will die now.

Just expired.

Replaced and reborn,

But limited in the realm of memories, and becoming "Me of Then".

Return to Me,

Now that you can see him,

And the autosarcophagy of the Me's.

Me's time, memories, existence, and consciousness.

Will Me of Now ever undergo regression and return to a Then state?

Will he fall victim to a true death, rebirth, or just dementia?

Will he do great good or evil?

Or nothing...for everything is relative.

Questions I must ask,

Things I must do.

Creation is oblivion,

Ouroboros.

Makes no sense right?

Welcome to the Me of Now.

The grasp has weaken,

But he does not fear falling.

Embraced by the unknown.

Killing myself once more,

And bearing a Me of Now.

He is in charge now.

I am no longer of use,

His will is absolute.

Because I lost it.

I lost my mind, lol.

Postscript:

I don't know what to think anymore. I live, I change, I rationalize. I value you my state of my current state of mind, but its just that...current.

Mindset is the enlightenment, the indecision, the fears, dreams, sins, atonements, order, curiosity, weakness, strength...systematic chaos. I wish for control. Control over the madness in me, the control to be mad at will. The confusion, the stress, uselessness attaining an illusion of success amongst mundane themes of man. Searching for completion, just searching......

for something........just something."

So what do you think?

So yea I kinda hit the point where Ive seen too many shows, and I dont know what to look to next. Ive seen most of the major ones like Naruto, FMA (and Brotherhood), D.Gray Man, Bleach, Geass, Death Note (pretty much all the AdultSwim shows), etc plus others like Fate Stay Night, Claymore, Ergo Proxy, Elfen Lied (which I have no interest in ever watching again), Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai, Hellsing (the TV series and Ultimate which is AMAZING), and Desert Punk. Im washing my hands of those overly repetitive and recycled plots found in most shows, so Im not watching shows like Fairy Tail. Im an 19yod male, so I have no interest in watching Fruit Baskets or Angel Beats other comedy/slice of life/shoujo.

I want a show that is "different" and directed to a older if not mature audience (13+ but I'd prefer 17+ or 18+ shows). I plan on watching HS of the Dead, but Im wanna watch that once all the episodes air so I can marathon it in a day or 2 or 3. There are a few shows I wanted to look into like: Clannad, Cannan, Black Blood Bros, Black Lagoon, Black Cat, Bastard!, and finishing Morbito. So with all that you guys think you think you can help me out? Any input is appreciated

I have 2 office chairs in my house. One has a cracked leg and the other has a broken wheel that actually ruptured from the plastic holding it together (long story short I can just buy a new wheel). Does anyone know where I should look to buy 2 new bases? Any help is most appreciate, and I will choose a best answer so know you will be rewarded for your efforts. Thank you

greatly appreciated if you post the link to episode 4 or 5. thanks

I have an audition for next yr to get into the jazz band at my school and I looking for a challenging jazz tune.Right not its btw Lullaby of Birdland, Take Five, Donna Lee, and Groovin High. Donna Lee seems like one of the ones that'll keep me busy all summer, but i already have a really busy summer and I dont wanna spend all of it trying to prefect this one song. So you guys have any other suggestions.

oh yea, i prefer for them to come from the real book, if not no worries.

already seen/still watching way to many, like: bleach, naruto (both), cowboby bebop, blood+, trinity blood, death note, code geass, some of trigun, some of wolf rain, d gray man, dbz, FLCL, avatar, big o, fma + brotherhood, inu yasha, samuria champloo (my fav), one piece, megaman, zatch bell, morbito, and afro samurai.

i dont like ghost in the shell, elfen lied (one time was enough for me), pokemon is dead to me, bakugan, bo-boo-boo (idgf about the name the show was funny), any gundam, and sailor moon, and i dont wanna c yu yu hankashu either.

i was thinin bout picking up ninja scrolls, tri-gun, and wolf rain, idk yet.

so whats lefted? sometine similar to bleach, but w/ fillers like one piece. Ideally somethin near Champloo, thats not so much whored out by viz media and doesnt have the annoy-fukcin theme of "i wanna protect everybody" ole bulshit, unless the show is worth it. I know im being kinda picky but still u guys gots anything? Thanks for ur time.....i will comment (like once every 3-4 hrs) and I'll best answer, unlike those jerks who ask leave it to the voters (not fair)....

m running on Vista 32-bit, on am HP notebook (g60-445dx). My computer has been acting up lately (as in the past 4 days) and really slow. I have Kaspersky Anti-Virus, SuperAnti-Spyware, and A-squared (this is the only one thats a trial) and none of them report a virus, trojan, malware, or things of that nature (this doesnt include some patches I have for some programs, but these havent affected my computer in the past....i have no keygens). I ran CC cleaner to remove my temporary files and removed a couple programs. I had planned on reseting my computer to the factory setting myself, but I dont want to deal with the really long time needed to back-up my files on an external hard drive. So is there another way, to maximize my computer's response time?

I plan on selling a pdf, and I want to be able to transfer that file via USB, and afterwards I want to encrypt the file to their computer so they cant resale it. How do I go about doing this? Is there a way I can do this without installing anything on their computer? If at all possible I wanna be able to transfer an already encrypted file onto their computer, so thats its read-only or deletable. I thank you in advance

I dont get this. A Vasto Lordes is an arrancar's final stage, am i rt? So why are there so many ppl saying that some of the Espada arent Vasto Lordes? All of the Espada (idk bout 9 though), ex-Espada (the 100+ numbered guys), Nel, and some others are all considered Vasto Lorde rt?

And one more thing is the number 9 Espada a Vasto Lorde?

I plan on selling an ebook (its a pdf) and a emulator, but I want to make sure whoever i sell it to cant give it away or resell it by copying it to a flash drive. So what do I do? I want to be able to give them the stuff via flash drive, then make it so they can only read it or delete it, but not copy it. So again, what do I do? Is it even possible? Ur help is greatly appreciated.

I have like 9GBs of music that i want separate from my regular listening music. Is there a way i can only have those files on Quicktime or Itunes, while stile having everything else as WMP files?

Ima lil iffy on how i feel bout all filler episodes. In some series like Bleach and Naruto they usually are dragged out and suck, but in shows like Bebop, One Piece, and Champloo where the plot is so broad fillers arent bad (ex: one piece goal is to become the king of the pirates, and champloo's is to find fuu's father....so much of the show can be considered a filler, unlike bleach's who fillers deliberately go on a tangent away from the given plot).

The reason i watch anime is to b entertained, if the fillers do this idc if its a filler or not, but if they fail, like the last 30 episodes of Naruto i get pissed beyond all reason.....so the question i have for u guys, how do u feel when it comes to anime fillers?

Movies like Blood: The Last Vampire, DBZ: Evolution (i heard that sucked, so im not watching that one), Death Note, etc

just wondering, if ur in the miliatry in that show u hafta be an alchemist, so wtf?

note: i didnt read the manga
