Areas (red) where Hindustani (Khariboli/Kauravi) is the native language
Hindi, or more precisely Modern Standard Hindi, is a standardised and sanskritised register of the Hindustani language (Hindi-Urdu) that is associated with the Hindu religion. Hindustani is the native language of people living in Delhi, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, northeastern Madhya Pradesh, and parts of eastern Rajasthan,[4] and Hindi is one of the official languages of India. Colloquial Hindi is mutually intelligible with another register of Hindustani, (Modern Standard) Urdu, which is associated with the Muslim religion. The two varieties of Hindustani are nearly identical in basic structure and grammar, and at a colloquial level also in vocabulary and phonology. Mutual intelligibility decreases in literary and specialized contexts, which rely on educated vocabulary drawn from different sources.
People who identify as native speakers of Hindi are not just those speakers of Hindustani who are Hindu, but also many speakers of related languages who consider their speech to be a dialect of Hindi. In the 2001 Indian census, 258 million people in India reported Hindi to be their native language;[5] as of 2009, the best figure Ethnologue could find for speakers of actual Hindustani Hindi (effectively Khariboli dialect less Urdu) was a 1991 figure of 180 million.[1] This makes Hindi approximately the sixth-largest language in the world.

Official status [edit]
The Indian constitution, adopted in 1950, declares Hindi shall be written in the Devanagari script and will be the official language of the Federal Government of India.[6] However, English continues to be used as an official language along with Hindi. Hindi is also enumerated as one of the twenty-two languages of the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India, which entitles it to representation on the Official Language Commission.[7] The Constitution of India has stipulated the usage of Hindi and English to be the two languages of communication for the Central Government. Most government documentation is prepared in three languages: English, Hindi, and the official language of the local state.
It was envisioned that Hindi would become the sole working language of the Central government by 1965 (per directives in Article 344 (2) and Article 351),[8] with state governments being free to function in the language of their own choice. However, widespread resistance to the imposition of Hindi on non-native speakers, especially in South India (such as the anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu) and in West Bengal, led to the passage of the Official Languages Act of 1963, which provided for the continued use of English indefinitely for all official purposes. However, the constitutional directive to champion the spread of Hindi was retained and has strongly influenced the policies of the Union government.[citation needed]
At the state level, Hindi is the official language of the following states: Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi. Each may also designate a "co-official language"; in Uttar Pradesh for instance, depending on the political formation in power, sometimes this language is Urdu. Similarly, Hindi is accorded the status of co-official language in several additional states.
History [edit]
This article or section appears to contradict itself. (November 2012) |
The dialect upon which Standard Hindi is based is khadiboli, the vernacular of Delhi and the surrounding western Uttar Pradesh and southern Uttarakhand region. This dialect acquired linguistic prestige in the Mughal Empire (17th century) and became known as Urdu, "the language of the court." As noted and referenced in History of Hindustani, prior to the independence of India and Pakistan, it was not referred to as Urdu but as Hindustani. After independence, the Government of India set about standardising Hindi as a separate language from Urdu, instituting the following conventions:[original research?]
- standardization of grammar: In 1954, the Government of India set up a committee to prepare a grammar of Hindi; The committee's report was released in 1958 as "A Basic Grammar of Modern Hindi"
- standardization of the orthography, using the Devanagari script, by the Central Hindi Directorate of the Ministry of Education and Culture to bring about uniformity in writing, to improve the shape of some Devanagari characters, and introducing diacritics to express sounds from other languages.
The Constituent Assembly adopted Hindi as the Official Language of the Union on 14 September 1949. Hence it is celebrated as Hindi Day.
In the year 1881 Bihar accepted Hindi as its sole official language replacing Urdu and thus became the first state of India to adopt Hindi.
Sanskrit vocabulary [edit]
Formal Standard Hindi draws much of its academic vocabulary from Sanskrit. Standard Hindi loans words are classified into five principal categories:
- Tatsam (तत्सम / same as that) words: These are words which are spelled the same in Hindi as in Sanskrit (except for the absence of final case inflections).[9] They include words inherited from Sanskrit via Prakrit which have survived without modification (e.g. Hindustani nām/Sanskrit nāma, "name"; Hindustani Suraj/Sanskrit Surya, "sun"),[10] as well as forms borrowed directly from Sanskrit in more modern times (e.g. prārthanā, "prayer").[11] Pronunciation, however, conforms to Hindi norms and may differ from that of classical Sanskrit. Among nouns, the tatsam word could be the Sanskrit uninflected word-stem, or it could be the nominative singular form in the Sanskrit nominal declension.
- Ardhatatsam (अर्धतत्सम) words: These are words that were borrowed from Sanskrit in the middle Indo-Aryan or early New Indo-Aryan stages.[citation needed] Such words typically have undergone sound changes subsequent to being borrowed.
- Tadbhav (तद्भव / born of that) words: These are words which are spelled differently from Sanskrit but are derivable from a Sanskrit prototype by phonological rules (e.g. Sanskrit karma, "deed" becomes Pali kamma, and eventually Hindi kām, "work").[9]
- Deshaj (देशज) words: These are words that were not borrowings but do not derive from attested Indo-Aryan words either. Belonging to this category are onomatopoetic words.
- Videshī (विदेशी/ 'Foreign') words: these include all words borrowed from sources other than Indo-Aryan. The most frequent sources of borrowing in this category have been Persian, Arabic, Portuguese and English.
The Hindi standard, from which much of the Persian, Arabic and English vocabulary has been purged and replaced by tatsam words, is called Shuddha Hindi (pure Hindi), and is viewed as a prestige dialect over other more colloquial forms of Hindi.
Similarly, Urdu treats its own vocabulary, borrowed directly from Persian and Arabic, as a separate category for morphological purposes. Excessive use of tatsam words creates problems for native speakers. They may have Sanskrit consonant clusters which do not exist in native Hindi. The educated middle class of India may be able to pronounce such words, but others have difficulty. Persian and Arabic vocabulary given 'authentic' pronunciations cause similar difficulty.
Literature [edit]
Hindi literature is broadly divided into four prominent forms or styles, being Bhakti (devotional – Kabir, Raskhan); Shringar (beauty – Keshav, Bihari); Veer-Gatha (extolling brave warriors); and Adhunik (modern).
Medieval Hindi literature is marked by the influence of Bhakti movement and the composition of long, epic poems. It was not written in the current dialect but in other Hindi languages, particularly in Avadhi and Braj Bhasha, but later also in Khariboli. During the British Raj, Hindustani became the prestige dialect. Hindustani with heavily Sanskritized vocabulary or Sahityik Hindi (Literary Hindi) was popularized by the writings of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Bhartendu Harishchandra and others. The rising numbers of newspapers and magazines made Hindustani popular among the educated people. Chandrakanta, written by Devaki Nandan Khatri, is considered the first authentic work of prose in modern Hindi. The person who brought realism in the Hindi prose literature was Munshi Premchand, who is considered as the most revered figure in the world of Hindi fiction and progressive movement.
The Dwivedi Yug ("Age of Dwivedi") in Hindi literature lasted from 1900 to 1918. It is named after Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi, who played a major role in establishing the Modern Hindi language in poetry and broadening the acceptable subjects of Hindi poetry from the traditional ones of religion and romantic love.
In the 20th century, Hindi literature saw a romantic upsurge. This is known as Chhayavaad (shadowism) and the literary figures belonging to this school are known as Chhayavaadi. Jaishankar Prasad, Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala', Mahadevi Varma and Sumitranandan Pant, are the four major Chhayavaadi poets.
Uttar Adhunik is the post-modernist period of Hindi literature, marked by a questioning of early trends that copied the West as well as the excessive ornamentation of the Chhayavaadi movement, and by a return to simple language and natural themes.

Media Queries
Hey Guys,
I am currently working on sites all the time and struggle every time with using the Media Queries and what screen sizes i should actually accommodate for all being my hope.
I have been using bootstrap in the past but want to move into making my own framework but really am struggling with the how many Queries to create as when you slide the screen in you always find something that could be refined.
At current i really only create for apple products as they are the devices i use on a daily basics and can test for easily. But would really like to accommodate for all users.
Any tips or tricks that you use would be great.
A very classic approach is to consider 3 versions of your site:
- one for desktop browsers
- one for small screens and tablets
- one for smartphones
I don't want three versions. That really seems like a waste of time if i upload a blog i have to do it to 3 different databases. I really think that Media Quires are a much better option.
... Of course I am talking about Media Queries.
Don't accomodate screen sizes, use fairly fluid grids and base your breakpoints on when things get too wide/narrow.
Example (this uses "desktop first" which isn't optimal, but it makes for a decent example on how to think):
Let's say you have the fairly standard layout with a main content and a sidebar. Set it so that they fill up a percentage of the container, and then slowly make the screen more narrow. Once things are too narrow to be readable/usable, rearrange it however you want.
Breakpoint 1: Content and sidebar (divided into two parts for this example) ("desktop variant")
breakpoint 2: content with the sidebars side-by-side below it
Breakpoint 3: Content with the sidebars under itThis is obviously simplifying things, but it's one of the ways I work. Don't worry too much about it being perfect at specific breakpoints, but rather be usable at a sliding scale. I'd suggest keeping the breakpoints at least 100px (about-ish) apart, and the fewer you need to implement to make the design look good on a sliding scale, the better.
oh sorry versions to me is separate sites.
So what media Queries would you run with so many tablet sizes and so many smart phone dimensions.
Thanks Melindrea.
I will keep this in mind on my next project. Now my question seems stupid thanks for a good reply.
I tend to like using the Golden Grid System as a good base.
One good measurement to work from is the width of the line, at least when you're working with a lot of text. That tends to be the biggest marker I use.

To begin with I would like to share some information from a study from Dr Henry Bieler; Author of "Food is Your Best Medicine".
Dr. Bieler states that Vaccines are ineffective for the very simple reason that they do nothing to remove the root causes of childhood infections such as whooping cough, measles, chicken pocks etc… These diseases are not caused by germs but by the toxic condition of the body. Read the full story with fact and figures @ http://www.vaccinationdebate.com/web4.html (copy & paste into browser if you cannot open from here).
He also writes: "The primary cause of disease is not germs. Disease is caused by a toxaemia which results in cellular impairment and breakdown, thus paving the way for the multiplication and onslaught of germs".
We are bombarded by toxins: In today's world where we are bombarded by toxins in our daily lives through the air we breathe, toxins found in our water, preservatives and additives in all the food we eat. Also, to over consumption of animal, dairy and refined processed foods, particularly cereals and grains, chemical additives in food and water, drugs, vaccines, pesticide residues and industrial poisons.
Other causes can include: Poor parental health, traumatic childbirth, impoverished or polluted breast milk, and too early introduction of solid foods, also insecticides and pesticides on the fruit and vegetables we consume, not enough fresh air and exercise, it is no wonder that the myriad of immune deficiency deceases are on the increase.
Every year there is a new flu strain: We are urged, no, bludgeoned, to line up like lemmings to have your free flu shot. Why is the flu shot free? Flu shot against what? The flu strains keep changing and the anti viral drugs do not help for a virus that has not yet been recognised. By the time a vaccination has been found, a new strain is on the rise. Not to mention the vaccinations are now "stabilised" with aluminium, instead of mercury, deadly to humans. These products are not meant to be injected into humans or animals!
There is an increase of child & adult obesity: Recent studies from Medical Journal of Australia 174:561-4 shows that 47% of women and 63% of men are overweight or obese in Australia, where seven million adult Australians aged 25 years and over (60%) were overweight. Of these, over two million (21%) were found obese according to the 1999-2000 Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study. It is found that Males were more likely to be overweight as compared to females, with 67% and 52% respectively
Cancer is now the world's number 1 killer: Why? An increase in different types of cancer, i.e. prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, leukaemia, lymphoma, etcetera! Could this possibly have anything to do with the fact that our immune systems are all compromised from this toxic world we live in?
It beggars the imagination: That after billions of dollars being spent on research for a cure for cancer, that the type of cancers we are hearing of just keep increasing. No cure though!
I don't know about you? I feel passionately that if only a small part of these billions of dollars (which are making the Pharma companies' rich and the consumer poor) but our loved ones continue to die in greater numbers? Couldn't some of this money be directed to educate us on how to become and to stay healthy?
Don't you believe? That education toward optimum health is better than being poisoned by chemicals and continually being urged to take more drugs? More lives would be saved as there would be fewer illnesses. Imagine our future generations healthy not sick!
I do believe the researchers who are looking continually, for the cure for cancer have out best interests at heart and are hard working and dedicated scientists and biochemists. But, maybe it's time they looked outside the test tube and instead of killing our immune system with chemicals, re-educate themselves about increasing our immunity with nourishment!
However, the news isn't all bad or is it? There is a shift in the philosophy of nutrition & health. Many schools are now taking "junk food" out of their cafeterias, not a moment too soon. We are also urged to eat good healthy food on the telly, then there's an ad for a pizza dripping in cheese and oil. I don't get it? Do you? A bit of a paradox!
What it boils down to is the responsibility for good health is ours: You wouldn't let your child eat arsenic; you know it will kill them. Don't let them eat food with artificial colours, additives, preservatives, these are all poisons. Make sure they get plenty of "fresh" air and exercise.
Learn and teach our children about nutrition: How our immune systems work teaches them how to stay healthy. There are many ways to educate ourselves and take charge of our own health. It is our responsibility to take charge of our future and that of our children and grand children.
Begin with detoxifying the body: Activated Liquid Zeolite is guaranteed to remove heavy metals such as, lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, copper, iron,
mercury, nickel, insecticides and pesticides.
Activated liquid Zeolite is a safe home detox for all the family.
To your health, Gerlinde Evans

Django's Journey: Writer/Director Quentin Tarantino takes audiences on a wild Spaghetti Western ride during slavery days in 'Django Unchained'
Django Unchained's journey to the big screen began over 10 years ago, when writer-director Quentin Tarantino first thought of the film's main character, Django. "The initial germ of the whole idea was a slave who becomes a bounty hunter and then goes after overseers that are hiding out on plantations," Tarantino recalls. "I just started writing, and Django presented himself to me. At the beginning he just was who he was – the sixth slave from the seventh on a chain gang line. But he just kept revealing himself to me more and more as I wrote." Although Django Unchained takes place in the Antebellum South, Tarantino found that Django's story might best be represented as a Western. "I've always wanted to do a Western. I like all kinds of Westerns, but since Spaghetti Westerns have always been my favorite, I thought that the day I do one, it would be in that Sergio Corbucci universe," Tarantino says.
For Tarantino, Westerns represented grand, masterful depictions of good and evil. He found that the genre's scope and structure were fitting for this particular story of one man's struggle to infiltrate a notorious plantation in order to rescue his wife. "It can't be more nightmarish than it was in real life. It can't be more surrealistic than it was in real life. It can't be more outrageous than it was in real life," Tarantino explains. "It's unimaginable to think of the pain and the suffering that went on in this country, making it perfect for a Spaghetti Western interpretation. The reality fits into the biggest canvas that you could think of for this story."
Producer Reginald Hudlin agrees that the genre was an unconventional but appropriate fit. "The shifting moral tone, the dark corners, the moral complexity of both A Fistful of Dollars and the Corbucci films was a huge influence on Quentin's storytelling. Quentin's intense study of the genre led to the inspired idea of mashing up the slave narrative with the Spaghetti Western which creates a movie we have never seen before."
Shortly following the release of Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino worked feverishly on the screenplay for Django Unchained. Christoph Waltz, an Academy Award-winner for Basterds, was present for much of the creative process. "I read the script as it was in the making," Waltz, who plays Dr. King Schultz, remembers. "It unfolded in front of me, more or less. I went up to Quentin's house and he sat me at his table and put the pages in front of me and then watched me read it. It was a wonderful ritual. I was very touched that he would actually let me participate not in the genesis of the script, but in his train of thought."
As an early fan of the Spaghetti Western, Waltz took to the script's close connection to the genre. "The big time of the Spaghetti Western was really the time when I started to get interested in movies as a kid, the late 60s, and then early 70s, and onwards."
The name "Django" is familiar to fans of Spaghetti Westerns: Franco Nero first portrayed the character in 1966 in Django. Nero joined the production to make a cameo appearance in Django Unchained. "For us in Austria, 'Django' was a household name. Not necessarily Franco Nero, but 'Django.'" Waltz says. "Every Spaghetti Western that came out, even the obscurest ones, in the German version had 'Django' in their titles, even though there was no Django in the plot or in the story. They just put 'Django' in because Django really was the distilled key word, so to say, to name the genre. If it had 'Django' in it, you knew it was a Spaghetti Western."
"I like evoking the Django title for what it means to Spaghetti Westerns and that mythology," Tarantino says. "At the same time, there's a 40-film series of nonrelated Django rip-off sequels that are their own spot of Spaghetti Western history. I'm proud to say that we are a new edition to the unrelated Django rip-off sequels."
Indeed, the original Django was so popular that other films borrowed the name as a marketing tool. The more imaginative titles include Django, Kill; Django the Avenger; Viva! Django, and Ballad of Django, to name a few.
Tarantino completed his script on April 26, 2011 and began sharing it with friends and colleagues. As "publishing day" approached, the producers began gearing up for production. "As you hear Quentin typing in his house, you're a couple months out, you start calling all the players. You call [Stunt Coordinator] Jeff Dashnaw, and you call [Sound Mixer] Mark Ulano, and you call [Makeup Department Head] Heba Thorisdottir, You call everybody and you say he's getting close. You try and keep everybody available because we're a family, we've all done so many movies together, and we love working together," producer Pilar Savone says.
The reaction to the script was overwhelming. Hudlin, for one, admired the script's unique and honest depiction of slavery in the years before the Civil War. "We have to remember not only the best of who we are, but the worst of who we are," Hudlin says. "And we're not going to appreciate the best of who we are until we see and celebrate the heroism of people who saw evil and faced it down. Even though these characters are fictional, they represent hundreds, if not more, of real men and women, Black, White, who stood up in the face of evil and said 'no.'"
With the script in place, Tarantino set out to find the right actors for the ensemble. Jamie Foxx, an Academy Award winner for Ray, won the role of Django. "We got together and he was just terrific," Tarantino recalls. "He understood the story, the context of the story and the historical importance of the film. He got it 100 percent. He's a terrific actor and he looks perfect for the character, but there's a cowboy quality to him. When I met him, I was imagining that if they cast black guys in the '60s to be the stars of Western TV shows, I could imagine Jamie having his own TV show. He looks good on a horse, and good in the outfit."
Foxx responded to the script's honest portrayal of the brutality of slavery. "It was the most incredible script I've read in all of my life," Foxx says. "I thought, 'Who has the guts, and the knowledge to tell it like it really is?' I thought that the way he's telling the story -- as true and as honest -- if it rips your flesh off, so be it. That's what was exciting about the process." Foxx notes that Django and Broomhilda's devotion to each other allowed for a personal, intimate window into these characters. "Back at that time, to be married was taboo. You could be killed. They forced marriages back then – or they forced copulation – so the strongest buck would mate with the strongest black woman and they could get stronger slaves. They didn't want black people to be married. So Django being married was a big thing for me. This is a love story. And that's what fuels him. He's not trying to stop slavery. He's not trying to do anything but find the love of his life – which is like trying to find a needle in a world of haystacks."
"The reason that we tighten up because it was a bad place," Foxx continues. "It was a dangerous time, and we sometimes feel that it does hold us in captivity without the chains, metaphorically."
Kerry Washington, who took on the role of Broomhilda, also connected to the bond that exists between Broomhilda and Django. "The thing that most drew me to the project was this idea that in a time when so much of the world was committed to the idea that people of African decent were not human, that you could have this love story take place between these two human beings who love each other so much at a time when they couldn't legally be married on their own accord because they weren't even their own people. They were property. These two people find a way because of the power of their love to be together, and to honor their commitment of marriage to each other in this historical context. It's just so powerful."
Washington also saw a connection between Django Unchained and Tarantino's overall body of work. "He is not afraid of violence, and darkness, and the dark side of the soul," Washington says. "I think that you need someone who isn't afraid of those areas to be able to tell a story that takes place in this time. Because it is fundamentally a love story, you also need someone who believes in the goodness of human beings, and believes in love, and believes in beauty to be able to hold onto the love story in the space of all that evil and darkness and greed. I think it's amazing that he's able to hold both of those spaces."
"Love, rescue, transformation: that's the destination. That's the journey Quentin has written for Jamie and Kerry in this movie," producer Stacey Sher agrees.

Jackson, who starred for Tarantino in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, explains that his interest in Django Unchained was twofold: "It's a piece of our history that generally gets sort of whitewashed or perfumed in a way that this film just doesn't do," Jackson says, adding, "It's always great to find a character on the inside of one of Quentin's stories to wrap myself around."
Django Unchained appears in theatres nationwide on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.

If your vessel has a satellite Internet connection onboard, then the collected signals can be easily sent to our central server, with no additional cost or equipment. It would be therefore possible to see vessels on the real-time map, not only near shores but anywhere in the world. For example, a ship crossing the Atlantic will be constantly transmitting its own positions and all positions of ships sailing around it (in a range of 30-40 n.miles) in every location, even where no shore reception is possible.
Here are some basic instructions to implement the 'onboard' AIS data collection:
You may use the mAIS application on your smart phone (iPhone/iPad or Android) on board to report the position of your vessel directly to MarineTraffic
A shipping company may use a proprietary system to follow its fleet. Even if the reporting is not in real-time but only sporadical, a vessel's last known position is still a valuable information. Publishing this information through MarineTraffic could be possible.
We can collect and process ships positions by any automated method and in any format, including but not limited to:
Here is a rough estimation:
Say there are 30 vessels in your range.
Each vessel transmits its position 10 times per minute on average.
Each message is about 50 bytes long.
That means that there is a transmission of 30*10*50*60 = 0.9 Mbytes per hour or 2Kbps.
If you require to reduce the data transmitted over the Internet you may use the program 'AIS Dispatcher' as described earlier.
This program can be configured to 'downsample' the rate of transmitted messages. For example, an interval of 60 seconds means
that only one message for each vessel will be transmitted within one minute. A 2-3 minute interval would be sufficient for our
application and it would dramatically decrease the bandwidth used.

Republicans in the Senate forced cost offsets for $3.5 billion in the bill. Republicans have argued that emergency aid measures should include spending cuts elsewhere, though Democrats have argued disaster aid should not come with such a requirement.
"Bottom line, this is a very strong bill," Schumer said. "Is it everything we asked for? No. But is it a huge, huge shot in the arm for New York and the national economy? New York is 10% of the national economy ... We now need the House to act."

I'm sure the mods and staff are doing a fine job, but the idiots still prevail, flaming all the time.
There are so many insults around and most of the threads seem to be off topic. Things that keep other sites like hl2world together is the skill you see in the modders and mappers, as well as the advice they give.
There also seem to be too many religious flaming threads.
People believing what they want doesn't hurt you.
but you insulting what they believe does hurt them.
anyway, don't know how much time ill be spending here much more, as you can see; I haven't posted in ages because of all of this. My new homepage is engadget, constant news updates and friendly people.
#2 Posted 08 April 2007 - 11:25 AM
#4 Posted 08 April 2007 - 11:39 AM
All the religious threads just piss everyone off. And I could swear that some members souly come here to piss others off.
I personally think this place needs to be revamped. Perhaps a new skin? Stuff like that. Up the sig limit abit etc.
It gets too Nazi around here at times.
#5 Posted 08 April 2007 - 11:47 AM
Its not easy moderating a lot of threads because a lot of people like to whinge. People are either unhappy with the moderation, whining that its unfair and too harsh, or they rant that there is not enough moderation. Trying to find a balance between fairness for all members and allowing freedom in discussion is difficult.
Really, the site just needs more exclusive content. Just stuff that seperates it from other fan sites to attract new members.
I also think members here are often very, very critical towards new members. Having a larger community would be great, but every time a new member comes along that does not fit the standards set by many people here they get abused.
Its almost as if HLFallout has become too tight nit.
Eat my piss.
#6 Posted 08 April 2007 - 11:52 AM
We need some exclusive stuff as you say Eat. Perhaps a Machinma starring memebers or something. Something others can see and think "Heh Thats pretty cool"
This site isnt as well known as Half-life 2 world. Most of my mates have heard of half-life 2 world, half-life 2.net, planet half-life.. But when I mention "Half-life Fallout' , They stare at me like this >

I think we've become to accustomed to the members here and it almost feels like an invasion of our territory when new users come along. It also doesn't help when these new members start bumping year old threads and have names consisting of only numbers, symbols or pop culture references (Rick James, anyone?)

The reason people come to forums in the first place is to have questions answered.
People interested in religious debates aren't going to join a Half-Life forum, and people interested in Half-Life aren't going to join a religious debate forum. Okay, we're not quite that bad yet, but the only threads that I ever see are religion, new rig builds and movies/music. What this site needs is more HL discussion, which is difficult because VALVe doesn't bloody release anything.
Back before the release of HL2 we had thread upon thread of speculation. Now whenever someone speculates on something they get automatically shut down by "old," "stupid" or "stop speculating." Sure, stupid ideas shouldn't always get threads, but we do need discussion. Over the past few weeks when I've been on here there's been me and maybe 8 members (10 atm). Possibly that's because the USA is 10 hours behind Australia and I'm asleep when all the partying happens, but I doubt it since the next day I look at the latest forums posts and they're the same topics. I wouldn't be surprised if I was still the last poster the next day.
How do we save HLF? Discuss HL or at least related stuff. We've got some very talented modelers/mappers here - just post whatever you're working on, HL or not. Feel free to start new threads about anything, except spam. If it's not a good topic, it should just disappear, no harm done. The problem we have now is if it's not a good topic Ripcurl or someone will rip into the topic starter and discourage them to post something else. Don't. At least they're doing something. Anything to generate discussion.
Here's an idea - more user interaction. For the love of God give make a new front page poll. Have some more contests - we have some great artists/musicians/modelers/etc. Get people to make an Ep1/Portal/TF2 background, remix a HL2 song, design a new weapon for Ep1, anything. And most importantly, have users vote for the best of whatever the contest was. Award the winner with a custom title. Everyone loves them, and it would help promote veteran/talented members with some recognition.
I'm just throwing ideas out here. If anyone has an idea they think is a good one, start a new thread, and see what other people think. Here's my last one - hold HLF CS matches somehow. Set a time and a place and see who turns up. Actually playing with someone is much more personal than posting in the same forum. Get some camaraderie happening. This is without a doubt to best, cleanest, deepest HL forum around, we just have no members. But we should. We're better than this.
Bottom line - think of anything, POST IT. And for everyone else, if you don't agree, you don't have to shove it in their face. Give everyone the ability to express themselves.
Back in the day there'd be about 20 new posts by the time I'd finished typing this. Now there probably won't have been any in the mean time (EDIT: there was 1). I'll be back tomorrow to see how this is going. DISCUSS!
EDIT: Oh yeah, the one thing these ideas need to succeed is visibility. We have no HL news, so why not knock up some site news? If someone has a good idea and makes a thread and people agree, put it up as a newsbit so everyone knows about it.
#12 Posted 08 April 2007 - 01:11 PM
How about an art contest or something?
#13 Posted 08 April 2007 - 01:14 PM
#14 Posted 08 April 2007 - 01:15 PM
As mentioned by myself and others HLFallout is so tight that the regulars would get high respect regardless of their actions, and majority of newbies would be beat to death.
Not at all, just a closet fruit.
Eat my piss.

The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. It can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP2, POP3, and IMAP servers without any changes in the programs' code. It will negotiate an SSL connection using the OpenSSL or SSLeay libraries. It calls the underlying crypto libraries, so stunnel supports whatever cryptographic algorithms you compiled into your crypto package.
pHash is an implementation of various perceptual hashing algorithms. A perceptual hash is a fingerprint of a multimedia file derived from various features from its content. Unlike cryptographic hash functions that rely on the avalanche effect of small changes in input leading to drastic changes in the output, perceptual hashes are "close" to one another if the features are similar. Potential applications include copyright protection, similarity searches for media files, or even digital forensics.
beaTunes is an iTunes companion app capable of automatically analyzing your music collection to help you build better playlists. It analyzes BPM (beats per minute), silence at the beginning or end of a song, and the color (based on frequency spectrum) of a given song. Some of the data is stored through iTunes, and some is stored by beaTunes itself. beaTunes can suggest albums that would complement your music collection, display music charts, and help you find and fix errors in your song meta data, like typos and wrong genres. It also allows you to blog about selected songs or playlists.

Written by PETA
Not since a pig farmer told our investigator, "Hurt 'em! There's nobody [who] works for PETA out here," have we recorded so many dumb statements on camera.
Yesterday, we told you how, following PETA's investigation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture fined Chief Saunooke Bear Park and suspended its exhibitor license. These are some of the conversations that helped land the bear abusers in hot water:
1. Bears Biting the Metal Bars
They know the bears are miserable.
2. Hiding Things From the USDA
I'm sure the USDA loved this.
3. Not Feeding the Bears
4. Eating the Bears
5. Discrimination Against Native Americans (Who Own the Park Land)
That must have gone over well with the landlord.
6. Your Questionable Work Ethic
Things that don't go well together: impaired awareness and handling bears.
7. How to Treat a Lady
Susan's laughing now!
8. OK, so Now Pick Your Jaw Up off the Floor
These guys are so dumb that they could get their own reality show.
9. And Take Action for Bears!
The bear pit has been indefinitely shut down, but we still need your voice to ensure that the animals are safe for good. Sign the petition to request that the USDA immediately confiscate all the bears from the Chief Saunooke Bear Park and place them in a safe, reputable sanctuary.
By submitting this form, you are agreeing to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal info in accordance with our privacy policy as well as to receiving e-mails from us.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

Lyons residents, Elizabeth Lennert and her husband Eric, knew that they wanted to re-model their 1970s-era home, and thought there must be something better than 1970s energy use. As a part of their re-model process, the Lennerts decided to get a home energy assessment from EnergySmart.

Homebirth, as with many modalities of holistic health care, obliges one to be an active participant. In this model, the midwife, pregnant woman, and her loved ones work together as a team. As a midwife I support my clients in this new responsibility and care is individualized to meet the specific needs of each family. Personalized attention is the cornerstone of midwifery care. I share my knowledge and experience so that women can make informed choices. Together we observe pregnancy from a space of trust, addressing general discomforts with holistic options and taking action if medical attention is deemed necessary. The blend of each woman's self-knowledge, our combined insight, and my clinical skills, provides the guides for creating an optimal pregnancy and birth.

Beginning July 1, Colorado residents may no longer dispose of most electronic waste (e-waste) in their household trash because Colorado landfills may no longer accept e-waste. The change is the result of a new law, the Electronic Recycling Jobs Act. Industry, most businesses, government agencies, institutions, and schools already are subject to e-waste disposal restrictions.
"The new law applies to TV sets, central processing units, computer monitors and peripherals, printers and fax machines, all kinds of laptops and notebook computers, DVD players, VCRs and any video display device with a screen larger than four inches," explained Wolf Kray, recycling specialist with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The ban also includes radios, stereo equipment, and video game consoles. Telephones, motor vehicle components, and non-hazardous industrial or commercial devices may still be legally disposed of in a Colorado landfill.

Every so often you come across a little gem of information that is so perfect as it is that you can't really improve upon it. So goes this month's column. Don Burgard, the copy/production editor of Fine Homebuilding, one of my all-time favorite magazines, tells us all about plungers and more specifically toilet plungers. Turns out they are not all created equal. Perhaps not the most enthralling topics of discussion, but information we all could use at some point in our lives.

Stevie Wonder not happy with Lil Wayne's lyrics
ATLANTA (AP) — Stevie Wonder is not happy with Lil Wayne's vulgar lyrics that reference Emmett Till, a black teen who was killed in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman.
The R&B legend says the rapper's disturbing verse should not have made it beyond the recording studio for the world to hear.
"You can't equate that to Emmett Till," Wonder said. "You just cannot do that. ... I think you got to have someone around you that — even if they are the same age or older — is wiser to say, 'Yo, that's not happening. Don't do that."'
Wonder, who says he is a fan and friend of Lil Wayne, made the comments when asked what he thought of Lil Wayne's controversial lyrics in an interview Thursday.
On a remix to Future's song "Karate Chop," Lil Wayne compared a rough sex act to the tortuous death of 14-year-old Till in Mississippi, an incident that ultimately helped change the national conversation on race. Following a crude reference to rough sex, Lil Wayne indicates that he wanted to do as much damage as had been done to Till.
Till's family has asked the rapper for an apology, and Epic Records, Future's label, said the official song will not feature the vulgar words and is employing "great efforts" to pull it down.
Wonder, 62, hopes the 30-year-old Grammy winner understands the perspective of the Till family and chooses his words wisely in the future.
"Sometimes people have to put themselves in the place of people who they are talking about," Wonder said. "Imagine if that happened to your mother, brother, daughter or your son. How would you feel? Have some discernment before we say certain things. That goes for me or any other (song)writer."

FDA spokeswoman Sarah Clark-Lynn declined to comment on the reasons behind the delay.
In its statement Thursday, the FDA said that the glass particles were "similar to the size of a grain of sand" and that "the possibility of adverse events related to the recalled product appear to be low."
Making matters potentially even more confusing, the FDA directed concerned consumers to call their pharmacies to see whether their pills had been recalled, as not all lots of the drug are effected.
However, pharmacists say they have no way of figuring out what lot number a bottle of pills came from.
"The ability to tie a specific prescription to a lot number would be very difficult," said Ronna Hauser, vice president of policy and regulatory affairs at the National Community Pharmacists Association.
Ranbaxy, India's largest pharmaceutical company and the 12th largest generics maker in the world, has had quality problems in the past.
The FDA has accused the company of "a pattern of systemic fraudulent conduct," including taking shortcuts in crucial quality tests. So widespread and grave was the misbehavior that in 2008 the FDA barred Ranbaxy from importing 30 drugs into the United States.

Mila Kunis helps a starstruck reporter interview her.
Never let it be said Mila Kunis isn't a take-charge kind of gal. Witness the interview above, in which she runs away with the chat in an interview theoretically conducted by BBC radio reporter Chris Stark.
Stark is a bit star-struck — "Seriously, I'm petrified ... I've never done this before," he says — and Kunis perhaps a bit bored with repetitive press-junket questions. It's a recipe for fun as she turns the tables in the interview.
"What about this is frightening to you, tell me?" she asks.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
"I'm kind of, I'm talking right to you now, there's like, cameras everywhere, there's a lot of people. They're all smiling and that, so it's all fine. It's a bit of an unnatural environment. I'm used to being down to my local pub with the boys."
And that kicked off a range of topics: Jagermeister bombs and the even more disgusting "lad bombs," beer, his buddies' names, the massive "lad points" he's going to get for having interviewed her ... the football (don't call it soccer!) and chicken were still to come.
"I should get back to the questions," he notes.
"Why?" she pleads. "This is way more fun for me, I have to tell you. Please!"
After some off-camera prodding to talk about, oh, say, the film, Kunis launches into a monologue of rapid-fire "Oz: The Great and Powerful" info.
"Let me just give you answers that I know you're going to ask," she says, and she does just that.
But wait! Apparently the pause in the action gave Stark a second to think of a couple questions of his own. Would she accompany him to his friend's wedding? Why not, she says, she's been to the Marine Corps Ball — until she realizes she's going to be working in June, so no dice.
"Mila, thank you so much," Stark says, "and I hope that was all right."
"I had a great interview," she says with a laugh.
Watch the video to get the full effect. And to learn what Kunis can do with a beer.
