  • add live web stream to my website using a program like obs?

    Is it possible to allow users from my site use obs (open broadcaster software) in order to have a live video stream. I know that Justin.tv and twitch.tv use obs and I would like to use it the same way that they do on my site. I am coding using php for the backend and html, css, and js for the front end. I would also like to allow my users to use the other programs that twitch.tv does. I'm not sure where to start with this. Any help would be great! Thanks!

    IMPORTANT: I do not want to use UStream or any other site like UStream. I would like to add commercials to my live video stream whenever I choose.

  • how to use elementAt() Java?

    I have a program that I have to write for class. They use this line

    Ant a = colony.elementAt(0);

    I am using an ArrayList of Ant class to hold the class variable called colony. The error is: The method elementAt(int) is undefined for the type ArrayList<Ant>. They said that we are not allowed to change the code so I can't just switch it to get(). I tried to use List but that also hasn't worked. How can I store data that can use the elementAt() method?

  • help finding a music video on youtube?

    There is a woman who sings I believe her style is indie. She sounds a little like Nataly Dawn from Pomplamoose. In the music video I remember her playing the piano outside. I think that the piano was painted but it may not have been painted. She also sings from inside of a flat or apartment in front of a window. I think when she is playing outside that it is set in a city and she is playing on either stone pavement or concrete pavement. Although she is playing the piano it doesn't exactly sound like a piano. It sounds more like the instrument I think called a marimba than a piano. I have been looking for this video for a long time and I can't find it PLEASE HELP!!!!

  • Is it really a sin to drink and have sex?

    I have really been reading a lot and looking into this. Recently my pastor preached about these two sins and how bad they are. I am a bit rebellious and I like to know for myself so I looked through the bible. What confuses me is that I can't find anywhere someone got into trouble for having sex before marriage. More specifically males don't seem to get in trouble for having sex without being married. For example Abraham and Jacob both had sex with women whom they were not married to. What punishment was given to Jacob? So did David and so many other people. Then David had sex with another mans wife and he got in trouble by God. Too me this says that God does not like when you have sex with other peoples wives but if the woman have no other and you are making enough to support them then it is okay to have sex because God never sent a prophet like Nathan for sleeping with an unmarried woman.

    For my second question. I play football and sometimes my friends like to drink. I don't plan on getting wasted and I have never drank. I am over 21 so it's not legality that stops me but I keep hearing how it is a sin. Logically to me, if you have the capability of making wine that means you could make juice. If you can make juice why did Jesus drink wine if it is a sin? Also he could have been like Daniel and drank water. He was the most Holy person but he drank alcohol. Doesn't that mean he can't have died for my sins since he himself sinned?

  • Is God still alive? and is god, God?

    This has been bothering me for a while. Many people say God must exist because he had to create such an intricate world. Or the case that if you found a watch on the beach wouldn't you automatically assume that it had a creator rather than it just happening naturally. While I can see that point the person who made the watch may be dead. How do we know that if an intelligent being created us that they are not also gone? If someone creates a computer program then dies how does the program know that it's creator is no longer living? For those who quote the bible, God interacted with the Israelites all the time, from parting a sea with Moses, "making the sun stand still" with Joshua, consuming an offering with fire from the sky with Elisha (I get Elijah and Elisha mixed up but I'm pretty sure Elisha was the one with Jezabel and Ahab.), to killing Uzzah for touching his Arc. Then in the new testement he was actually physically with them, then in Acts the "holy spirit" made Philip teleport, Saul's blind eyes see, men speak languages they had not learned (not just random syllables), to poison snakes having no effect. When God does all of this why is it that now with so many ways to document it, these things don't happen anymore? And why when he did so many amazing things did no one else write about these amazing things. Or when Jesus was doing all of these miracles why didn't someone who didn't believe he was God simply write down what crazy things this man was doing. Many soldiers had diaries, why didn't they write about what they experienced? Others had to have interacted with them when God did these great things for them so where are those stories not written by the people who have something to gain from people believing their stories? And if that great being is still alive then why is he being so passive when he use to be so active in the way things happened or at least gave some people the power to do amazing things.

    My second question is this: If we are so intricate we must have had a creator then whatever created us must have been at least just as complex as we are. If that is true then there must have been something that created that complex being. And so on and so On. Just because a being created us does not mean something did not create that being. They say that we are too intricate well imagine how intricate the being is that creates us must be. Also for Christians, Jesus died on a cross for our sins, well if God is all powerful he could have just forgiven us without torturing himself(or his son whatever you believe). So maybe he(im calling God he just so I dont have to call him it) isn't all powerful. Maybe there are rules even he can't break and if he can't break them then what set those rules into place. Maybe his God has rules. And God's God has a God. If you can believe that God is infinite why can't an infinite amount of God's also be true because you can clearly believe in 1 being that has no beginning or ending. I wonder if we will make a virtual world with artificial intelligence so it can continually build on itself. And if one day the beings of the virtual world will wonder how they were created. I think most science starts of as fiction. I don't think my religious background matters. Thoughts?

    ps. try not to use the bible as evidence because although it may be history it isn't written as observing history without bias. It is completely biased and it is so biased that it's highly likely that things might have been embellished a bit.

However I can't find the specs for it or what would go into building it. Does anyone know how much it would cost to build it and if it could be programmed in JAVA? Or what would the specs be for a smaller lighting console I could build using $3000 or less.

  • Is it a sin to have a beard?

    I was told that I have to cut my beard by the church I attend. Where in the bible is having a beard wrong? Where did this principle come from?

    If it is not biblical wouldn't that make it wrong to force members of the church to be clean shaven? if so what versus tell not to make more random rules or to not veer from scripture?

  • which apostle stayed back at a temple?

    So there was some apostle or something that stayed at a temple instead of continuing on with the rest of the apostles. Then the guy decides to come back to the church after the temple thing didnt work out or something. I think he stayed back because there were women at the temple. I am not sure where it is but I know it's in the bible somewhere.
