I recently have been digging the concept of DJing and just mixing up my own music. What kind of equipment do I need? What tables, needles, mixers, etc would you suggest? Also where would you suggest to look for them? | r/djing | post | r/djing | 2009-06-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5eXIxb2NKdmw0dHUtT3Rmamc5Qm9Cdlk4dFpJSFh5Qmt2WEN1Y29veWtrQU1xd2NxVTc2YXVEb3dJWFpmMm9uTWtLVzZPU29nZHM4MTU0eWdaM2RDbWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2aHV4TS1Cb3JrUlU4dHVWMjBwNGM2NEVfR0Rfbzh0dGtDdGpPcXE5YTJSVDcwMmVFbzBCTkFwMDJjekNoZjdzX0gwNUdpcmVxcVlreGp5YmV4eThkV0x5VGNXenRPN2M1ZXBCLVc2bnlZYlQtdEVqNGQ0RDBCYzFnVGVuSlU3ZlM1SVBRaU5icy13QmFoMUJPd1Bta1gwbFRhbU5femgxejBLcVNNMGlwbmtydmZHa0lUSE5GWUNGZENjMGxOOHZJa2l1QVVGcmJpQ2s4dlFiTkVlSjlGUT09 |

So I just got an Orion SkyQuest XT10. I heard that in order to see the LCROSS lunar impact on October 9th, you'll need at least a 10 inch telescope, so I'm pretty excited. My question is, does anyone have any estimates as to what magnification will be needed to see it? I heard that the crater will be about 5 miles wide, so I'd imagine it wouldn't have to be *too* powerful. I've got the 25mm eyepiece coming with the scope (48x) plus a 3x barlow. I'm wondering if this will be enough or if I should get a stronger one. Thanks! | r/astro | post | r/astro | 2009-06-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5WVg4ejBwVGZtbTRib3lYcnVSelNXbmg2N3Q0em93SDlvbHBzSTRYRmpENnlQbDZaNW1SMFlvUThxT24xQ21lSWZYTU1mOFRCczktSG5qTkVJTjFiTWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2RVlFYWluMTI3ZnkzZUsxV3dOV2FwZ1djMEpqTFdRbXIzb0F4YnFWZm5DcTFVWjZiaVBVNWpMSnJDRUFTaURETXZaeDdCXy15enk2eXpzajFVTFlLeU8tNklrWktveVFEZGp0dlRmdjJpaVpRMmZ2UU03dFkxYmxZQW95NE5uMGY4blFBZzlpb0hvb245eUpYU2hPODRsQ1drY25JRTk4eFljQU5xSHZmRUtmNXg2SFppX1AwUXJsenBxY0dqTi1Y |
Hey guys, since it turns out imgur has already taken down two logos (possibly due to reddit's legal team? i dunno.), I have some suggestions for how to handle this and other cases of dead links. And since there are a few other (perhaps already obvious) rules that /r/logo has or should have, I thought I'd make a (really short) list.
* 1) If you submit, keep the formatting we're already using, which is (YYYY-MM-DD) Explaination of Logo
* 2) Link back in a comment to the logo-inciting Comment/Story if applicable.
* 3) If the link goes down, I'd think the last thing we need is lots of dupes. This should be a clear and concise list, so in this particular situation don't start voting something down just for that. Instead, post a mirror in the comments. There's already a lot of reddit logos [here](http://pineapplecharm.com/reddit/), so that'd be a good place to start looking if the logo link is down.
EDIT: kn0thing just posted that any logo from now on should be able to be found on S3 in this format: http://s3.amazonaws.com/sp.reddit.com/redditYYYY_MM_DD.png So that's the new source.
That's it. Hope this helps, and is warranted.
EDIT THE 2ND: These rules can now be found on the right side of the subreddit. | r/logo | post | r/logo | 2009-06-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5OHVvNjQzUjJ3TnFzSEVZMmdVZlprSDQ1TU5ORmZxeklhcklCWWp5WGtLalBFc0Y5OERJSldBYXpZbE8xcl9DQWFCeFdVSE1oOUtxZzlTQ2k2QUN1U1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2Q0daZlJWZTRuemVOcUFvTm16bXFCSkNvWTZFd0Ryc1hsRHhFaFZqQTdpLXM3cTc0MG1WZi1UQWhmRVFIUUJCNmNxSWh3THFNbHZRem9hdkpuWVZUa3VBWkZxZ3ZETGZJRnJJdGJxMlBJVTYzck15MTcwMEVjOTdDalJMX2dmaGl4VEx1dmw2cnFIZHd4LXRTMlpFYmRCNFF2bk13N3oySVJQeHVYVGdYVzFVPQ== |

Okay, so as an Ubuntu user, I figured a Nexenta install would let me enjoy the niceties of Solaris without having to re-learn a whole lot. Plus I like apt. Now, maybe it's just my system, but this is the following shitstorm I've had to deal with:
1. **zoneadm clone** doesn't actually clone, it copies. This is regardless of what zfs-mounting hack I use or variable I try to export after Googlin'.
2. **zoneadm clone** doesn't even fucking copy, it crashes trying due to a broken program.
3. **zoneadm detach** doesn't work right, calls attach instead half the time.
4. **zoneadm attach** doesn't fucking work, period. Runs out of memory on a system with 4 gigs of RAM.
5. In a Nexenta Zone, installing via apt-get is broken. It calls rc.local, which hangs, meaning it can't finish the installation of apache or postgreSQL unless you remove references to rc.local from the post-install script and re-run apt.
6. Actually cloning a zone consists of the following:
* Make a new ZFS filesystem (say, mainpool/DeleteMe)
* Mount it where you actually want it (say, /export/DevZone)
* Set it up and install the Zone, then boot to test.
* Halt the zone and Unmount the soon-to-be-deleted filesystem.
* ZFS clone the actually zone you want to clone. Mount it to the same spot.
* Boot your newly working cloned zone.
I'm not sure if ZFS makes this easier or harder, but can I just install _real_ Open Solaris to a new ZFS filesystem and have that boot instead of my current Nexenta setup, then attach all my Zones once I get there? Nexenta has _too much broken shit_ at this point to be worth the hassle. I'll fucking _learn_ Solaris's packaging system.
I beg anyone who knows how to do this for help. I'm so sorry for not knowing better >_< | r/solaris | post | r/solaris | 2009-07-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5Nm9yX3JFRTZoNE1CWjVRd3pGQlhWQkQ2Mm9vME1IRUxBNTZSRHBDX0xzdWtCaXdBQ1ZOSHY0NG83QWtTRTFxaHY2VDdmdXNWT3RNWXk1Y281NDhWUVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2NHhxNVI4a2ZEUUxwdTM5YmM2aWFuMlV0TEVoYVlPaHpGYmt0dmEzajMtUXN2S2tiUEtXSkhRTlUxc0tTMlJLUUVaVWFTa1dOcmw0S3Y2M0dSZGpxWlNPdU5qRkk4Uk5sS0s5c201MjVNenV0ZHJzZHM1OXEwSXJlMEhjdkdKRmtpS1hMaTRMYnpYOExHUnhPU2htM0g3bkFVQ3Q1WENWTFM2S0FadXVuU1o3WExPTHBPVWNwSERXeW5Ccml3aldt |
Do you agree with this statement? Have you experienced objectification based on your sexuality or your success? Or perhaps some other form of objectification? Are you willing to admit to subconsciously or consciously objectifying others in this way?
For my part, yes, I do feel I am often treated as a sex object by strangers, but oddly I'm more drawn to men who lean toward treating me as a success object. I'm generally the higher earner in relationships and the more career-driven. | r/equality | post | r/Equality | 2009-07-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5QUhNc283MmhuYmpuTHdXM3lZMmtvR2pJb0Nya1hDUjhCTGJING5kQTNvYlhmN0N0ZVpxdWxLQU5PamEtVWhsT2d2OGlzdGhwMWNfVFM2cl80elgyVXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2X1Nab0RLQXlLeWwwZVNxLWNJTnl1YzcydFE4QUZ3YjU4UHF1VFE0YjlreDkwNm83RGZxdVpsN0FMLXBxV1huRXJqbUphZEJySHlYd1phU0V1MXlteVJJczJLVW5RXzU1dmMxd3d5R0tiVzU4bnFlUlFlVUJEN3J3djVmcmVhUVIwMkZ5bmJtdllKX3JwdGEwZmgyb01LV0ZPemhUZWtDTDY2aVlTSkktdVZ4VVZ1Y2JEbGJqX0EwaTZZQWRKYUZn |
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
—Emma Lazarus, 1883 | r/utopia | post | r/utopia | 2009-08-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5Q2pvMnBhZnBTdnZVbW9oMHZGVURuZnAydnExZThiZThsUlpPT3BRa3k3MV9uX0RrZks0eVZuUF8tUnhsaEpLY1Bia2hScmZaRzlVR01mNENRX0xJV3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2dTNORDNNMVhOZ1pIRUcxV2lVVllfLXhzYVRoMXZ3YnB1cEZCNkRqeDZ5N3ZyME5NMW1uZUV2MTV3cjh3dVdza0NKWElORng3T2tMNGw3S3lHOFNVMlA1R084bjZCd1BuUHRiY2VOYjFuMXRHT0RLZ2ZKQWthLVJjRlBzSGJtdXFzWG5HZGZMZWxWcEY2VTEtMUt2cTJEbjJEb3MxcG1FQzZEM2pDdVJ5LWRvPQ== |
I'm tired of people saying they need to accept themselves.
Accept is what I do with my parents who won't understand why Shakespeare is taught in school.
Accept is what I do with the mole at the base of my spine.
I am done merely accepting myself.
I want to celebrate and cherish myself.
I want to become my own loudest cheerleader and scream how great it is to be me.
And if I'm not excited by who I am, then I need to change.
I need to remember who I was before I was unhappy.
I need to invite the parts of me I have rejected home.
And when they finally do come home, I'm not just going to welcome them to the party:
I'm going to run out into the street and tackle them there.
I would do that for a long lost brother, sister or friend.
Why wouldn't I do that for myself?
I'm done having the same response for my own thoughts, dreams and emotions that I do others'.
I am here to be me, all the time, to not be me is to deprive the world of my contributions.
To hide away is to make the world a slightly darker place.
I am not being selfish, this is my celebration, I am a virtuous force in this world.
And I can remake the world by simply being who I am.
And showing it to others.

The Legislative Branch:
Federal Government will get to make Metalaws. It will state things like "Everyone is equal under the law" and "Don't pollute".
State Governments will define the specific laws based on metalaw: "Murder is forbidden because it makes someone unequal." (this is just an example)
Local Governments will enforce the laws and proscribe punishments: "Arrest people who commit murder, stop people from committing murder."
Every law must be renewed individually, every ten years.
The Judaical branch would be in exact opposition of the legislative branch:
Federal Judges will interpret state law.
State Judges will interpret local law.
Local Judges will determine where public funds go.
The executive branch only exists when the legislative and judicial branches agree that it is required and only for a limited duration.
Only the executive branch can maintain or use military forces.
Troops can only be sent out of the country, if there is a war council.
A war council is convened by the power of the Executive, Judaical, and Legislative Branches for a limited time.
At the end of said time, the war council will be dissolved, and all it's members are considered guilty of murder.
A new war council can be convened as soon as the last is executed.
If no one can be found to willingly execute a member of the war council, they will be allowed to renounce their citizenship and move to the invaded location.
The system starts with the following metalaws:
All people are equal under the law.
If you accuse someone of breaking the law, and they are found to be innocent, you are responcible for 2 times their cost.
Taxes may never be over 5% in any type of measurement.
Do not murder.
Do not steal.
Do not injure.
Do not rape.
Violent offenses are to be punished most harshly.
A person of average intelligence must be able to memorize all federal metalaws.
Any politician who can not recite the metalaws can be removed by anyone, at any time, by someone who can. | r/utopia | post | r/utopia | 2009-08-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5Ry0wVjZUOWhjUk15UFo3S05MQzdiN3E3RDRadXhTSUQwYlBZcXdMQWRSWDdxMVRxRklNaHAtQmZkS1VSTUZibllaTEkzdl9sTlJDazhxX0h3STA1VFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2LURYMDhIV2s5MkpMQ09xejhGVUgzanY2elI4Q1QzOXBCRjhyZ1Rxek1yU0ZMVFBJaUUxdnlzWTA2OTlDZVJxeE5QZ3pxcmFCSmVaR0hFSjRUY3gyRnpMSlp6WWVHX09DbWg4TDI4M1F2MnVuRnRhOFctcmNwdEduX1l1elVRSWd5LVVFTTlsaWZDR2V0b25hTUxVam9ReHA3eWlRN2FVZTl3M0dnQWxEWFE1a21NTW01R0RWMkdpbHNFUVVDazFR |

I've been looking for my birth dad's death certificate. I've been feeling really sick lately with no just cause, and I want to find out how he died so I can make the lifestyle changes I need to if it was heart related (work, etc.)
I'm really fucking tired of searching through 10000 piece of shit scam sites that bring up the same records - the SS Death Index, which is useless to me.
I need an actual document, digital or paper, that described how he died. I'd be eternally grateful if someone could find the time to help me a bit - maybe even pull the certificate for me if it's something I'd normally have to order. I have no idea what the turn-around time on something like this would be. | r/geneology | post | r/Geneology | 2009-08-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5TncyUFZZMGtVamxvUkh1Z3c1MDlpTHVwRTljcmM2c3VHWnZSU1RLLWZGLWpWYm1lZVlESHNGMFdtWVQyVXU5R2NySElEVy1kV0hNQjdpUXRaTGtORmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2QXFoVUJBbXh3M2dMWkJJSk9yWnl3YmppQlF5N2Z6eElxaFlacjNNTDY1Sk9qTWt5b3ZlVl9tOE41SWgzMGNMdHQ0TWNmZWZSMUdrLVVCbThyc256Ukp4czFpOE9HVjExOUFTeEhQNzBPSlI3Z1R5Umc3c1F5SUMwNlpTWEVxeDNaTzA5UURLYmJkcjFsdmk3cVBwaWhIR3ozVl9fY0pybHlGYmU1WThYdFQxanRmOGtHVzNCTU1ZN0t1a1l5aXloWWpOSlZKRzRIR2NXeUZOaURHRWFPZz09 |

I have an unlimited data plan with AT&T for my Blackjack II. With a little finagling, I can connect it to my laptop through USB and use it as a dial-up modem. I get pretty good 3G speeds, up to 100kbps at times.

Let us say, for instance, that you knowingly protest in a way that is nonviolent and yet very antagonistic. You are throwing out slogans that you know will incite others to want to lash out at you, though your slogans may not be particularly violent in and of themselves, does this make you an proactive actor in the ensuing violence of someone inevitably striking you? | r/pacifism | post | r/Pacifism | 2009-09-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5VlByeEJUWTBZaFVKN3I3bnczLVk0c1B3VWF0MGxVd2J2Z1E0MFNjVUZEQU1nWExDenBxdXlhTUJZOTVpbTN3SkVtYUd4MWl1eGNDWGtjUjRkVFBiOEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2UzlsNURkUDVldGpQQlVkYzlDb2xUZ2tsMUhZbEx1b3lVZThtTk9qYUowTXZPYVRkNkgzVlloenA5MFJfQkwwMnIyZWVmOExRVXdVVktwSnRMTGQ5NzhlODdJc0RvbVZaVXpUMkNIM29WVFRCYzl2eG5WVU52MHdic3dCaXJXcWV4b3NqeDg1QmUxX3hFRnkyZ2pVRThzOEEyTWFkaHQ4M2tDQ1RSdmM2dVRPUDRSUmtibGdjMFlCc3ZXaEw5Mk1ZdnVfNG1CSVFxYnRpOXdUTHNvalhJQT09 |
Just recieved this email:
"Dear Friend,
Well, it looks like you have made a difference.
Based upon the unbelievable support that I have receieved from 10,000 supporters like you, I have decided to throw my hat into the ring to challenge Chris Dodd for the honor of representing the state of Connecticut in the United States Senate. I will announce my candidacy on MSNBC's Morning Joe show on Thursday, September 17 at 8:15am eastern time. Sorry for the short notice, but its important to honor commitments and keep these things under raps until the day the news breaks.
At this time last year I could not have imagined that that I would be making such an announcement today. I had never intended to become a candidate for public office. But these are extraordinary times. Our economy is falling apart in front of our eyes and Washington seems intent on making the wheels come off even faster. At a time when we desperately need adult supervison, the economically illiterate are running the show. As I love my country, it now seems clear that I must try to do something to help. The emotional and material support I have received from across the country has made the decision much easier.
So today it begins. As I'm sure you are aware, the rules in politics bear only scant resemblance to those which govern polite society. As a result, I am wading into strange waters, and I'm sure strange things will happen. But I promise to maintain my composure and give it my best shot. Based on the support that I have received thus far, I fully expect to be facing down Chris Dodd in the general election just 14 months from now.
As my campaign takes flight, I appreciate the patience and trust that you have shown. To commit time and money to a long shot candidate for high office is a hard choice. I hope to repay that trust with a first class campaign.

I created a small ZFS storage server, and I swear, it's done everything possible to suck as a storage server.
On sending data TO it: As I have the rge driver, given that every NIC under $100 (the price of my mobo and cpu combined) is made by Realtek, I have this annoying bug that kills the network connection every 20-30 gigs of data transfer to the server, whether by SSH, NFS, SMB, or Rsync on any of the above.
Speaking of SMB, aside from how annoying it is to set it "simple" SMB sharing on OpenSolaris, 2009.6 has a bug that kills the SMB server (seriously kills and zombies it, there's no workaround aside from resseting the box as the process refuses to die or restart) if I so much as look at it the wrong way (say, setting up DNS Multicast so that other computers can find it. Accessing it via IP holds steady, but the moment I try its hostname it dies).
All this would be substantially less annoying if I could:
* install a newer dev build via CD
* install newer packages for samba
* upgrade my system to a newer dev build
There's no install CD for a newer snv AFAICT, the packaging system doesn't allow for newer packages beyond snv_111, and my system refuses to upgrade, whether by GUI or command line (using the instructions on the Open Solaris site), each on a _fresh install_. So I'm a little miffed, and the only reason I haven't dropped the whole thing is because ZFS is just _too damn sexy_ to pass up. Errors that would have resulted in a re-install in linux land are a 5-second rollback and a reboot.
But, it's still rather annoying to try getting things working. EXT3 is no good, NTFS is no good for the above mentioned upgrade issues, and the bloody thing didn't even detect **my (50 some odd gig) FAT32 drive**. If it wasn't for rsync I think I would've given up days ago. And I haven't even tried to get the printer networked. Lord help me. Anyhoo, bumps and bruises aside, here's the fix I promised!
Now, whether you're running Nexenta as a zone in Open Solaris or Nexenta itself, [this fix should help you with getting SSH to work properly](http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=419186񦕲).
BIG ASS UPDATE! (as if anyone reads this anymore)
* Network bug fixed via gani driver
* CIFS server still broken, but breaking less often for some reason
* Debian Lenny LX Zone handles FFMPEG and MPD, Nexenta Native Zone handles webserving. OpenSolaris now dedicated to CUPS, CIFS, and NFS.
Even BIGGER ASS UPDATE
* Installed SNV_126
* CIFS server fixed, Native zone broken (now waiting for 128, ugh) | r/solaris | post | r/solaris | 2009-09-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5MkxuOU5TdmlmMkVJcHdBQ2hXZHB1eThDWHlWYUYzcEFoMnRIc2hRM1FKVDRmeFp0cnF0TGtOeGV4eTRna3BMajlIRzJiTzVzNUNtemVLS0Y0bWxIZHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2cExSRGNfUGxwY1VQZ1U3SGt4bVlFVlY1SVhSakMwQzVuM2J6R1RQOWwxRHFJcmdlX2tPUU5NWUMtQXhSNl9xZFRHVmVWQTd5MkdNZk1za000LVRWbEVYaFJpMHNvN0phZ2NrQ25wRWliZGV2SXZaR1N2U21ENThtZ3RaNVFsNWlmbDM3WElBZkx3U0FjSHZMcDFJYzhsYXZyQlNfU1FWV2JUY19qZ0lsZUNkZUVTTjI1eUtjUGlVWXN1NjF2MVd6VGdsYWpxNjJqNjllYUpoZklSejR0Zz09 |

So I figured it might be good to have an events specific reddit.
The main goals I think will be
1. Find about events others think are cool
2. Find out if others are going and maybe meetup
3. Find others to go with if you don't want to go alone. | r/seattleevents | post | r/SeattleEvents | 2009-10-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5MFU3a2lYRm92aXhMTlR6S2NuNDIxa0VYSk5FbVlxNTFieDc5dWh0R1F1cXljY1JlT0MtblE1N3JLQ1R6cW50UG92YkJWc01IWml2MHJkNE5OSmRGc1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2U0lBbllQLUYxZnlINnBBb3dtRlRlbk1DNTF4SUhFTFdBMS05aGJsa0dyM3lCVnB0cmtmZkFxeF9RRTJhaHE4UFhHRjVwZS1EeDVjX1JrMV9UU0VGVU0welVtVHo0eHhaOWJQWjZqNmx5Q2NIbVFVTEctaUM0aE5mM1E2VVBxWDhhaXBhd2NKUnNfTngwelBVcldmWmxBPT0= |

I read this online, and can personally attest to the effectiveness of it.
All you need is some cayenne powder or cayenne pepper, but cayenne pepper makes you want to sneeze and isn't ideal.
Get some warm water in a cup, mix in a couple pinchs of cayenne powder. Mix it up well. Gargle, and MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES. If any stray splash gets in your eyes, it WILL sting.
You can spit it out or swallow, it doesn't really matter. Repeat until you gargled the whole cup. Try not to let it touch your tongue too much, its very hot.
The reason this works is because capsaicin, found in peppers, is a strong anti-inflammatory.

What is money...
People use it everyday, but few can relate to what it really is.
Most people will answer it's a piece of paper used to buy something, at sometimes. But money can be spent using a credit card, so this definition is flawed.
Theorically, money doesn't exist - it's an illusion.**If every business on the earth decided to stop accepting the American Dollars, then every American Dollars you own would be worthless** Understanding the nature of money is critical to understanding returns, inflation and much more.
Money is, simply said, a convenience. It's an opportunity to buy something later. Money can only be used for one thing: buying. You might a computer. You might buy a mutual fund. Even if you keep your money under your bed, **You are in reality buying something - speculating that the cost of life will go down (deflation) and you are better off keeping your money under the bed (for example, you could believe banks will go under and lose your money)**
Now that we understood what money is, we must understand another important concept: the time nature of money. If I give you a number such as "5", it is uni-dimensional. 5 will always be 5, years later. But money is not like that.
**Would you rather have $5 today in $5 in ten years?** Of course, you would prefer it now for a few reasons.
The first is the risk. The cash you have today is certain. You can get it today, and have it in your hands right now. The second is the most important concept of financial mathematics - you can use the money now.
Not being able to use your money for a certain amount of time is the most critical concept of investment. Every time you invest, you renounce to the right to use your money for a certain amount of time.
To compensate for this inconvenience, one earns interests. Instead of using your money to buy something now - food, computer, iPod - you invest it.
So, money has two dimensions: amount, and time. To be exact, whenever money moves from a party to another (i.e. you buy something at the grocery, you buy Apple shares) you create what is called a CASH FLOW. A cash flow is whenever money moves from a party to another.
A cash flow has two dimensions: amount, and time. $5 given to you today is worth less than $5 given to you in two years. But even this has a limit. Would you rather have $5 now, or $500 in 2 months (from a reliable-paying party)?
What allows money to move in time - i.e. $5 now or in two months - is interest. Using interest, you can move a cash flow through time.
If the interest rate is 10%, then $5 today is worth $5 * (1+10%) = $5.50 in a year. Receiving $5 now or $5.50 in a year is the same to you. You should be indifferent to either option. How we came up with the 10% is an entirely different story.
The last important concept of this chapter is the concept of present value. Let's give an example. Let's say you buy a car. You can pay $25,000 now or $1,000 per year forever, starting next year, at an interest rate of 4%. Which option would you choose?
Now that easy. To solve this problem, we need to use Taylor sum. In the first option, you have to pay $25,000 now (a negative cash flow right now), which has a present value of -25,000$. In the second option, you have to pay $1,000 forever.
You will pay $1,000 in a year, $1,000 in two years, $1,000 in three years, etc. If you think too quickly, you might think you're better off paying it all now than taking a debt all your life, but that is not the question for now (we assume people are logical).
The value of the second option is : 1000 * (1/1,04) [actualized by one year at 1,04; check out how I can with it] + 1000 *(1/1,04)^2 [actualized two years] + 1000 * (1/1,04)^3+...
...Until the end of time. This is an infinite, geometrical series, which is solved mathematically by 1000* (1/0,04). If you do the math, the option 2 is worth... $25,000.
It follows that both options - paying $25,000 now or $1,000 per year forever - are equivalent.
An equivalent way to see it would be to see it like this: instead of giving $25,000 to the car dealer, you place it in a bank account paying 4% per year. Each time, you receive $25,000*(0,04) in interest, which you give to the dealer.
This lesson is simple, but critical to understand most bonds and financial products, especially with an infinite horizon. Understanding interest rates can save you a lot of money when shopping.
Later on, we will see the many weaknesses of this model. Why should the 4% be constant forever? What interest rate do we use? What if there are fees (mortgage fees, etc)? What about the risk from both parties
ADVANCED
***************
In the preceding example, we have looked at a financial product that was paid forever, called a perpetuity. However, most product have a limited paying period.
Let's take a 25-years mortgage of $200,000. How does the bank calculate your monthly payments?
The solution is extremely simple; this is an annuity for people with no background in finance. An annuity, simply said, is a sum of cash flows with a different time (paid at a different period). The solution is very simple, thanks to geometrical series. You calculate the present value of $200,000 now (obviously 200,000) and the present value of 1$ paid every year for 25 years. Obviously, you will pay more than $1, but that is your unknown in the equation. Everything else is known. Overall, it looks like this:
$250,000 = X * [1- [1/(1+i)]^n]/i
Where X is the monthly payment, i the interest rate (assumed constant) (let's take a 4.40% five years fixed mortgage) and n the number of years (25)
X = $17738.11432
It follows that by paying $17738.11 per year for 25 years, at 5% interest rate, you paid off your mortgage. This option has the same value as paying $250,000 right now.
By the way, this is REALLY how banks calculate your mortgage, except that it's paid monthly (we can convert the annual interest rate to monthly) and that there might be some fees, and that the interest rate will vary **Bonus: how can we calculate new payment if the interest rate changes?** *(ANSWER: You calculate the value of your loan just BEFORE the interest rate change, then the value of the "new" mortgage at the new interest rate, with the period of time remaining)*
Look for interest rate modelling part I for more advanced concepts on this matter.

In this short part, we will look at the majority of products you can invest in. This is no NO WAY an exhaustive list; in fact, if you were millionaire, you could very well "invent" a new product. However the products below resuem 99% of actively traded items.
The most obvious are **stocks**. When you buy a stock, you **buy a share of the company and of its future profits**. At the most simple level, this is exactly what buying a share is. Stockholders own the company and not the opposite. If you have a company and go public, even if you're the CEO, you do not OWN the company anymore (unless you own 50%+1 stock of the company, we will see why later).
Stocks are the instruments you will invest in the most UNLESS you specialized in another field since they are so simple, relatively low-risk and have no expiration value. If your grand-mother had bought 10 coca-cola shares in 1945 and forgotten about it, they would still be valid today.
There is much to be said on shares. One important concept is the concept of **dividend**. Dividends are cash OR stocks that are given to shareholders. Not all stocks pay dividends. The dividends theory is vast and complex and will be checked in Part 3.
Another one is the concept of split / reversal. When a stock splits, your number of shares increases. If you have 10 shares and the company does a 10:1 split, you now own 100, magically! However, this does not increase the value of the as, you guessed it, the stocks will go down 90%. Miller and Modigliani were the first to bring this theory up. The reverse operation is a reverse split; 10 shares become 1. We will see later that stocks usually increase after a split, and decrease after a reverse split, due to market psychology (part 3)
The last concept we will talk about is the buybacks. A company may buyback its shares - or a competitor might buy the company by buying 50% +1 shares (see this like an election; if you own 50% + 1 votes, and there are only 2 options (yes or no) you effectively control every vote and thus the company). Buybacks always increase the value of the stocks UNLESS they are below market value; usually, buybacks will be much above the market value.
One last concept: *if you are certain a company is going up, you buy the stock. But if you think it is going down, what do you do?* You **short** the stock. This concept is very important. By shorting the stock, you BORROW the stock from someone who already holds it and sell it, with the promise of buying it later, preferably at a lower price. With stocks, the maximum you can lose is 100% of your investment; in a bankruptcy. With shorting, there is no limit to what you can lose. If you short the stock at $100 and it goes to $1,000, you just lost $900 per share! Shorting is very dangerous, although very lucrative. The best scenario in a shorting is if the stock reaches 0, where the money you got by selling short the stock is entirely yours.
Stocks really deserve their own chapters; however, this is a rough introduction to the subject.
**Options** There are many times as more options traded as stocks. Options are extremely popular product.
With an option, you buy/sell the right to buy a stock later at a fixed price. A call is the OPTION (not the obligation) to buy Google at $500 at any time by november 22, for example.
Options are very complex. The most-traded options are calls and puts - options to buy at a fixed price, and option to sell at a fixed price. There are two types of calls/puts: european and american. European options can only be exerciced at a fixed date; american options can be exerciced at any time until the fixed date. **AFTER THIS FIXED DATE, THE OPTIONS ARE WORTHLESS**
****************************
**Futures**
So far we have checked companies. What if you want to invest in gold, or oil? Since the stock market is electronic, buying the gold and having it kept somewhere is not possible (it is possible through a bank) since stock markets do not have vault. If you want to invest in commodities, you could buy companies that hold a large amount of that commodities, but this is risky, and can cost a lot.
In a future - another type of derivative product, similar to a forward - you buy the OBLIGATION to buy a product at a fixed date, at a fixed price. You are FORCED to buy oil at $80 a barrel on november 22. Naturally, not everyone wants to take physical delivery of the commodity; most of the time, the futures is settled by cash.
Futures are settled every day; every day, one party pays the other. If you bought a future and the price of the item went down, you pay the other party.
FOREX**
Forex is for currency exchange. You buy or sell a pair of currency - USD/CAN for example. In this example, you BUY USD by SELLING CAN.
**Futures options**
Options we saw above, but applied to futures and not stocks. Stock futures exist too.
**Bonds**
Bonds are exactly what we saw in chapter one. Simply said, it's a debt that pays X% per year, the yield. It might not pay anything until expiration (zero-coupon) but usually, it will pay semi-annual coupons.
**Mutual Funds**
A funds that holds many products. For smaller investor, mutual funds allow a diversification. If you have $1,000 for example, you cannot buy a diversified portfolio at a resonable cost. Mutual funds are simply pools where everyone chips money in, to invest in a particular field (china stocks, energy, banks, USA...). In my opinion, mutual funds charge a lot and 90% of mutual funds do worse than the stock market.
**SWAP**
You won't trade a SWAP, although it pays to know what it is. A SWAP is another derivative product whereas two parties exchange payment. One will agree to pay a fixed cost, another will agree to pay a variable cost (for example).
**ETFs**
Stocks traded on the stock market, similar to Mutual Funds, allowing exposition to a more focused product (Oil ETF, Gold ETF, etc)
**FOP/Warrants/CFD/Funds**
Products you will rarely hear of. Forget it.
This is a rough introduction to MOST of the traded products on the investing market. As a beginner, you will only trade stocks. You can lose 100% of your capital on options (on stocks too, but hopefully you will make nice picks ;)). Plus, generally speaking, over a long period, stocks always go up. We will look later at how to choose stocks. | r/investing101 | post | r/Investing101 | 2009-10-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5VHk5ZFVxYUtOTEEyaUlDSkJBLUVsRTRuVWVaQnM3bFhLTXRraGlBYlBIMVJoZVltZmZCR3p3UnR6MVlWdFBLZVNTd1hxMlMwelBFUnVxVExlZ1NZRnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2SGpkVDBKa00wUGtXR2RxaUtqSEVGQUgzeGdKYnpDSk9FcmVQemFwODNsdlZ4c05USDdGeUtqRlMyRjF2WWFWUVRSaUlNY3pwbC1aLWhUT3hOU2pORmpjM1kyalJiUDlITTBoSm9JdWl4ekdtV2Q3dzJTdnJleC1EVDN6MnRHQzlNVDZoeXNkMzRPb0p5ZENBWmwwalU4N2ZCWGU5VUJDNmxleDN3Q1BYZmZrPQ== |
I've been using it for a few weeks, and even though there isn't an enormous amount of content yet, I believe it could well be the next big thing in P2P.
A usual argument against F2F is that they are inefficient. What I've noticed from using OneSwarm is that since people aren't afraid to share, it can actually be more efficient than other technologies where only very few people share stuff.
Also, I like the way you can manage your "Friends". It's very easy to detect leechers and remove them. I believe this has the potential to make it perform better than bittorrent, too.
Anyways, I'd like to hear the opinion of other redditors. Do you agree with me? Is there something even better that I haven't heard of yet? What will the next big thing in P2P be? | r/p2p | post | r/p2p | 2009-10-22 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5QnVxQVpJTkMzQVZyYUYzVlRLc3FkNU9BSVVtVnpUSGFFdnBWRlFQRU9tLVZJNDE2Z3NjUy1mTVQ4UXVWcTVPSU1oam14a1NfNnFjMEo1MzNRYzJtbXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2cGxTWjVQZzBaSWZndXowekpIMnlYeUlZSTRTYlZHOHFPS0VNbVlwUXpTSGhZQXhjZ2dMOXE1UWQzaDlNWTFiNjgzQ19pWnh4ZkcyMm9tcGtlN2VuQ2NtWWx4dWdKb3FUMEN3NG5idlFiSzlhQVRESkoxXzVFVjBPSEVQUmNqMnFNQ25ud0hXM3BqanpsVjNqOVNoc215SkYyUlluVGd6bEk1RnVhb1gtMzBvPQ== |
Usually when companies waterproof a leaky basement or when they build a new house all you get is a thin spray on mastic that is supposed to protect your basement from taking in any water due to cracks in the foundation. This is a poor man's option (actually this is a rich man's option because poor people can't afford to have their basements excavated multiple times). Instead go for a high end option like Platon System or Delta. Those membranes last for decades and protect your foundation walls much better but will only cost you an extra several hundred dollars on top of a multi thousand dollar project. Don't skimp out that last and most important step. Get a dimpled membrane around your foundation walls. It's not much more money but the protection is worth the extra 10% of your project cost. | r/tipoftheday | post | r/tipoftheday | 2009-10-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5UnotdWJmWk9uTnBJanN3UTdVd3Vzb2pRSlBLMlhMMk9VLTFlLS1saC1OR0NzVGpKakNLbGFnUS1xdjFyWGJ4VXg3UXRjT2pySjFrZmRVWHczRV9IWXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2cDlGWVQwTGg4VlpuSmVwZTZxTGVNYkdFaV9id3Voa2U5VmZKSktxMmFzZWlSb19QMUZjNXRuUWZ4aWNjV28zV1k2MUV4T2dpcm1DM2ZSVW84Z1A5R2w4S2NfWlkxTTZrNXhEaGw3dUhhbjBtQ2c4NWNGazhEN2E2cVBjck1QVDk5R2hHcDJfM0haRGRGNkNnR0hSdk9yRTdHc19RVVlmSG9wZjlNVFdibEpETTFvVjN2NHhUQzFkOHlHMjIxSmRNRlZKdlhuNUlGeTFWNWRnMXJiUWVNZz09 |

Almost every nosql data store out there hails "scalability" as a key feature. That's all good, but there are quite a lot of applications that should work fine on a single server: blogs, wikis, intranet apps, bug trackers, etc. Heck, even CRMs and ERPs for small to medium businesses shouldn't need a cluster.
Can you guys share your thoughts on using nosql databases in such scenarios? | r/nosql | post | r/nosql | 2009-11-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5am1TcTN5QXJOb2x1V00zR21sbkZNekNVTU83R09oRUx1bDdYbU5pQ3FRbXBta3Y2eTBDalpxN09XWFdXdW16bjJOZFVHLTRWZ2RkMWhhZFpOZS1sNVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2dWc0NkxrTDRSWkhwa19kandhN2dyc0pVang2ZzBOVkd2VElBYXlCZDhIN3M3LWpyUWxZMWNIYVFwWDJ2dHl1YUR2MWJvaTU5SEJvYmZYN09pVmxFUVJtVEFKZUFBcGE0RGEyOEpXTnk5T21wWnJTTXNzNEh6ZGxxbEM5RndzOUk4VEJYWWg1U1gwZEZtZFUxd25FUGo5SzBrYS1sd25sek1FZXVtR0E1UkVFUGVZVS1udEhWeTVoTHRBYjFmWmVP |
I started getting this ready for my media room and decided that AM in my area is crap and I can never lock down any good shortwave stations when I need them so I decided to see what I could do to get some modern hardware to play nice with it.
The tubes and wiring are original so I really didn't want to have to cut anything if I didn't REALLY have to. I built a little AM transmitter but the quality was trashy so I needed a better route.
The phonograph plugs into the back of the radio body in what can be best compared to an AUX port (mono, like the rest of the set) so I unplugged it and checked for voltage - none.
I butchered up some cable plugged it in. What you see here is not the final work - just the prototype. As long as the MP3 player is set to about 50% volume and the bass is turned off the audio is great. Above that and it starts getting drop off.

Yes, that is [War of the worlds](http://imgur.com/knEZv.jpg), Orson Welles' 1938 radio adaptation - Halloween night was awesome listening to this by the glow of the dial.
Now I can pull out all my old radio shows and play them in a manner befitting them. I sense an X-minus one marathon coming. :)

Here's a repost of my question:
------------------------------------------------
I have Solaris 10 [10/09] installed on a Dell R710 with two Dell SAS 5E HBAs that are attached to two SuperMicro SC846 JBOB chassis that have the SAS-846EL2 backplane. This is going to be a ZFS based NAS box.
After testing several configurations and swapping drives around in the backplane, my drives are showing up like this:

I'd like the drive numbers in the system to match the hardware slot they're in. [E.G. have controller 1 start with c1t1d0, and controller 2 start with c2t1d0. Since this system isn't in production yet, is there a way for the system to reset everything in /dev?
If I'm being too anal about this, just say so. All opinions are appreciated.
**Edit:** What I'd like to do is have the system completely forget the drives on c1 and c2 in /dev and start like I'd just installed the OS. | r/solaris | post | r/solaris | 2009-11-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5M0loaEFhWGlaSGZUbjZVaGFzN1pEQ3ppRmdRb3NyajFmVXBlb1QxMG1JWTBmZENBanZlWHltZE9vd2RrRi1hTzRyc1RlenE0Nk9PZnpMTFR1WW9QMFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2YjRLUGRTNGlTM2Y5UUFBRFNvZ2pDVHNjUTJhN1FQLW1lT0NUZzM4eXlCRDRpNGJYZmwyVHE3Y3g2S29icGx0elBIbkZjN3p6RmtBSnctZUJ0dHJfRkMzVmVMRDJramJiWnZPTEJZRVZNQk1xSjdham14SGV0Q1UyYkp0VDljM0x6N0cyeGpZN3BURDNBeVZWNzZodGUyTm5ZMzVQQXpQNzJRbUVJM1Z1RU0zMWJYWGlRSXhyMDVUdWN2QW1sNmtQWk1wWmszUEhaNUNJS1RCYXBNdlAxQT09 |
Hi there,
I am not a programmer, and I don't really plan on becoming one. I just need to get this assignment done. And I am stuck at one thing... How do I make C to scanf a word (and then handle it later in the code). Example:
If someone enters "reddit", I want it to print out "is great". How do I do it? (I know how to do the latter, I am having problems with the "scanning" of "reddit").
Thanks. | r/c_language | post | r/c_language | 2009-11-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5YldXTEpHdEdxeWsyN05DajhDcGl6ZzRGQ2RoUFVrSWIwRVpJdjh4UmFFTVY5cVVfbmRJVW80SVhHcXo2MTlPeDV6NDR6cGw1VmFPRDlUYWZlWGNORkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2VjQ4aFc4NERyaFdaZ2Z6dzFTZEwxQW8wMkpnMEhhVmVoTmJLemt4Rjg2RzVEb0RlVElNZndCbzRUQmowQmE4ajNiR3pWVFYzcVF4RGhubk5HWUtqUHVhVFNHQ1VHcEdYa2Y0SEVWMHFMZzRvQ2lRa0dEQWJvb3l4X1UxY05VVzctaGdoZEpEdTFzUklaZ0tDcEN6WFFMQUVZMXY0SF9oR25xX0dQMkFSaEZZPQ== |
Met up with a good friend at a [bar](http://www.yelp.com/biz/stetsons-famous-bar-and-restaurant-washington) last night and we got blotto on [Affligem Blond](http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/196/620). It was my way of thanking her for setting me up with a job interview that I bombed. Then we walked a good mile back to her place since the Metro had shut off and the whole way I kept pimping Reddit to her, since she's smart and witty and likes all the things I send her way that I find here.
(Why? Cause it's a collective of nerds like us that tell awkward jokes! And they like narwhals which are like unicorn dolphins! And there's a DC meetup this weekend at this place called [The Science Club](http://www.scienceclubdc.com/) which I mean it seems to be just a bar that serves expensive hummus but it's got "Science" in it's name so that's cool! And there's a subreddit for every disparate interest and it's got a clean user interface, and, and... "you're a girl! You'll get like, ELEVENTY BILLION COMMENT KARMA!" True story, I said this exact phrase. Screamed it, really. I told you I was blotto.)
Anyway we got back to her apartment and I immediately jumped on the computer and went on Reddit to give her concrete examples of our stellar senses of humor and dorkery. Couldn't figure out if anything on the frontpage was good or not.. because I was drunk.. so I went to my own page and my most recently submitted comment. I then read the [OP's original story](http://www.reddit.com/r/LastNight/comments/a50uz/scrabble_a_gw_story/) and [my addendum](http://www.reddit.com/r/LastNight/comments/a50uz/scrabble_a_gw_story/c0fvpej) in a silly voice aloud - I'm told it was a mix between Grover from Sesame Street and [August Strindberg](http://www.strindbergandhelium.com/absinthe.html). It was funny at the time!
Then my friend is reading the title of the post - specifically the "(a GW story)" part. "Wait, what about GW?" She went to a school with those initials. "Is from my school?" Yeah no, it's just from another subreddit. "Are you sure?" Totally. It's in reference to GoneWild, the subreddit where people take their clothes off. "Uh..." Yup.
And I don't why but -- here, I'll show you! I go to /r/GoneWild and since the pictures are all transparent and small on her tiny laptop, I click a random link. And so the night and my friend's grand introduction to Reddit came to its logical conclusion. With a photo of some Redditor's erect junk staring back at us from our screen and her laughing at me. | r/lastnight | post | r/LastNight | 2009-11-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5cmpYbXJZVDZJb2prak9laVcydUllRGdEc3Q0enRHb3JjSE1BSThacmRMT29WQXE1dnRMb0YzT2tkWW9FbVlUOEU1bFFWbjkydHh6a0ZudjN3bm5KSXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2cldGYUkwTmp0Yk5LdExGRHY4amlScjgzcmtmX0Y0Z3NvYU96QlZUUlVYbEFkdVNQc0ZyVjFNd2ZhSUx1QkZnTkJQSmJZa2RzdGV5X1F6ZG0yYzFFVDZpcDJOdE4xb043ZTUxbjBQM3l5UGludmpxeF8tWW9WUnZKcnRnT1hQQS1hZFRBdUZDRTM0TElUR19MbUhrYzh3NHl2VEI1cEhIaTJWUFBKcFlUR21ncjF1ZVY0ZXFONV9sWUVMS1FpQmg2WHRWOUtoZjlFTEJVYVVCNVpzMGRUZz09 |
Last night my friends and I went to an 'astrology park' a real low lit, low tree line, open field that just went on for miles. It was an old abandoned military landing strip that hasn't been used in years. Out of the 4 of us, three ingested two hits of acid each, sat back in these beach chairs we brought out, played music from the car, and watched the sky. It was beautiful, thousands of meteors flying over head, we began to name some, give them back stories on where they were headed, fleeing home to be with their meteor family, rushing back from a business trip from mars, and some just trying to see how fast they can go on the interplanetary high way C-38 (Celestial-38). The entire night was spent rolling joints, passing bowls, and making smores over a small campfire we had set up that all of us were sitting around.
Wish you could have been there to see it. | r/lastnight | post | r/LastNight | 2009-11-18 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5cW9oeTY0NU9EVktGQmlkYXpMelFsZjFhR2U5RnQyTGVJdnM3T29FMTc1MmZZenRxUGlTY1lqNWhzb0RYUGZFbnlOVTNCRDJtUUx1bkMtQUtUcU1SbEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2RFBwREVQMFIwNGdfLTV1bTJWd0V3b2xLWFp6a3l4VXJlVkY2YnVCN1VhVVlpdk9pTEZ3T0NvUmNMTktuSmVHaURwRmFLRnZubDcwMUNtRG82bTZsYVNOUHZhdlpOX041djl4Z0VuYUs1ay1vVGI1NEFGazR5YkRFY0FnR0lhMTd0VXN3d1lobTFaM05aNzZlbDFXYy1WM2hxVnk0eGJBWHdlU243ZEZpdEdmYTRZRjRPUEtVWkVKQ1JCQ3R0TU5uclF0ZERoenozbTRyZkc0eXdwUjIxdz09 |
Hello there. I speak Russian and some Japanese if anyone wants to learn beginner grammar or anything for any of those languages. I figured I have a bunch of study guides, programs, etc. that might be beneficial. If anybody wants me to create a "Basics of Russian/Japanese" thread, I could just post a little each day or something.

I'm in 200-level German at college, but it's been a couple of years since I took my last German class and I've forgotten a lot of my grammar and vocabulary. Unfortunately, the textbook for my course is one of the worst texts I've ever had and it isn't helpful at all. I need a supplementary textbook with clear explanations and charts and with lots of helpful exercises.

I can fluently read and write in the Sindarin form of Tengwar. The spoken Elvish language is incomplete and I only know how to say one thing, "Aramth tirion tul giliath"... which I believe to mean, "All your base are belong to us."
However, the elvish alphabet is complete and I'll happily teach you how to master it.
The following link is a picture that says "Learn Tengwar with Deeps"

I've been raising money for a while to build an Orphanage in Malawi (in Monkey Bay) and its taken me a while, but i've saved up enough money to fly over in June/July 2010. I don't have enough spare time, with work, uni and volunteering to fit in regular lessons, but it would be amazing if there was a redditor who was fluent at Chichewa so I could maybe practise sending emails to about stuff (and get the occasional translation ect).

Here's the deal, I think that with Pimsleur I can learn a lot. The problem is, I always start up and then lose interest and suddenly run out of time to do it.
I want a group of fresh beginners, like me, in the language so that we can push each other towards the goal of finishing the Pimsleur course and further study of the language. Throughout the learning process, we can also do video conference chats on Tinychat or something so we can practice together, hell, if we could get a native speaker as a guide that would be great.
Is anybody with me on this one? I would really like to do Norwegian but I'm flexible on the language, however, I would like to keep it Scandinavian/Central European or Russian(I heard this one is fucking hard).
EDIT: Looking for people that can truly devote time to this, ~1 hour a day. Once we get at least 7 people, well draw up a calendar of assignments and Tinychat conferences and we can get this ball rolling along. | r/learnanewlanguage | post | r/LearnANewLanguage | 2009-11-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5ajRLNDF1T2FMcWc5bkN3WEwwQWNlLUhXMzFyY1JDZS1YUTVwOWxMcW9uZEdobVFHOGF6S2hlS25yOWQ4dFFnNTRDRnpOc0FfZlcxRWNPMEpYaEltMXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2cDlvaXY4eDVwRWh4dlo4SUtpUXFxUHZhMW02ZjlQdlc0WFc3dmtLeEx0UFVrakRyeDVDQU9vc2drckhGZlJTclcyUjNJTW00UkpMaGdOTU5Ud0VSdkN0T0VkZWdHMW5VUGNYUTBJcmxudEFPLVFQUzVCdFItQmdGRjk5MFM0N3NmRm5wTGxVTTcwQ1BYSkpNMmZ6WHlQeUk5UGZjeGVzcG8xdEF3WHBnV290aXh6UFJIUTRSamdlbDVpMkxfRUkyd0pxZ2tXSHI4LVJxUXBVeGl0dnA4dz09 |
I'm interested in learning Korean. I already have some background in Chinese and Japanese and I'm now interested in moving onto Korean. Anything will help! I know that you use Hangul to write and it's derived from Chinese, but besides the memorization of the writing system, basic knowledge of the Korean computer keyboard, and my Korean name, I know next to nothing about Korean grammar (though I heard it's similar to Japanese grammar) and vocabulary.

My mom's side of the family is entirely polish and we have a lot of polish traditions in the family because of such. Other then that there isn't much of a connection, i don't think that anyone in the family knows any of it anyways. But i thought it'd be cool if i learned.

Hey everyone,
I'm a native speaker of Spanish and was wondering if anyone knew of a good resource to make use of both my languages to help me learn another Romance language, especially Portuguese. Most resources are quite boringly slow, and I don't really trust myself to learn effectively without a structured plan (if I just read and watch TV nothing I learn will really stick, and since I already kind of understand it it's easy to get lazy). | r/learnanewlanguage | post | r/LearnANewLanguage | 2009-11-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5YWhMRWQ0YVAxNFJxX3RUODg3Y0tMTmpYTkUxbzZkNVY0RmxDbHVxYXlLY01VbFFYRGJCNl9nUk5EWDMxMG4yXzRJczRKMHRHajVsOTJqODctMkV3WWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2UlZPRmkxZWdJaEowcUFEMmY1MGQ2dl9GMENqU3lBLTNDR1R5V0kzUzFBaHk2c2tBYVcxQjVxa1BBNXAtTXFLeW9GU2pwNWl0N2RDZzlKSDBjdjZIWEViU09aQmdTdGRSN05WSWFpdnI1aGR6WFpmcVQ0ZmZJU0s3bzVPTnlOTkJMUTJ1NExoajI3d0lzSjBpZnFTUG1BSmpFV3EzaXpENWN1dHc5bDFYU01qWGdFbXFySk1xNExPcE9kcWlhWnc0ZFY0blNIWjItT015dkhqZjV1QVF4dz09 |
hi here i will try to cover the very basics of spanish.
subjects/sujetos
**first person singular**: I/Yo.
**first person plural**: We/nosotros.
**second person singular**: You/ tu, usted.
tu is used when the subject is familiar to you.
usted is used for formality (meeting stranger, bosses, etc.)
**second person plural**: You/ ustedes, vosotros.
usted/ vosotros ( depends on the region in latin america we use ustedes in spain use more vosotros.)
**third person femenine singular** *plural*:she *them* Ella *ellas*
**third person masculine singular** *plural*:he *them* El *ellos*
these are the basic subjects.
There is also one more point to make regarding subjects in spanish the subject can be implicit or explicit, meaning it may not be at all in a sentence to be correct. | r/lanl_spanish | post | r/LANL_Spanish | 2009-11-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5clhOZ1R2R0dEOVpSanBRQkNNQjhNOXFtVFFqbEdsVVVIemxhZGdoSGFOd2pNTVBBTWtGUjlBTmFfZXJZMnRhQzdWS0ozX1loTmtpbUx3Z1h3NnFnelE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2Z1BUVVJnTGE2bU9YWWthTmxjMHVVVzZleTQwZkFxLWdxenEyMFBCejN2VXVSODVIS2QwNTZDNExQOGFUTnNaejh0ZUw4OUt4SFJxcHVFZ2tsdlNfRUVSSndzNWlsU0NhVGlpXzJEVzNDYWlsMEZockJpSEJXbTVTVllyQllRM2g5WTR0TzN4Zi1PY0M1UnZGSzl5dWpPV2dRNDNyNWRxeTFTdlVtT3Jab2FRPQ== |

Anyone here trying to learn many languages in parallel? I started off with learning Japanese about one year ago and found that I like learning about languages in general. So after one year Japanese I am now learning Chinese this year to get a better grasp for their characters which are also used in Japanese. The fun starts when you realize that there's a lot more Japanese people learning Chinese than in non-asian countries, and hence they have good quality learning material. My favorite method for learning Chinese right now is Gakken Chuugokugo Sanmai for nintendo DS and it's really fun to use and improve my Japanese knowledge for learning Chinese... I do a similar thing with French with the Assmil books which I also have in French language so I can learn French while i am learning Japanese or Chinese.... | r/learnanewlanguage | post | r/LearnANewLanguage | 2009-11-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5Vy0xUmVJaEVjSXRFZkNZZmJIS2w4T3J1Uy1tU2VaMFROTE0xeXlZQ3FCNTY1X1JFN3NIdHRuQUVBQTk5MVFZcVBqb2lLdEpOQWw0d1BaWUEyRHQ0S1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2QkN4bVI1MGlXeU1PVDJoU2tqLXBvVEx3ZFZJaGp2MmxkM2REd0lXQkVFRWhZVW85QU54empVX1Bzb1FkUHhRUks5dHRseXNLVExVQm8tWHZIMEwyM0dHQlVkckVPbmNLTFk0cUNZTDJGY2tFeERPTVRtVlF3elBGVEQyRzFwSEpEUG0xaXBlVVBsYlEyWUczaWdkbThoQ0ZiMGczLU1VWHhHVEZ1UVlhR1g2dUNSWHdQdGlSbXEwZVZ1QmZuT3JSMnVqWFI5ZE9vejlsbF9HVTFRYjRwZz09 |

Today's Word: **Échapper**.
Examples:
**1.** " J'ai **échappé** mon livre sur le sol. " (*I **dropped** my book on the floor*).
"Échappé" also mean "to escape".
**2.** " Joey s'est **échappé** de la prison. " (*Joey **escaped** from prison*).
It can also mean to say something that you didn't intend to say in the first place (ex: " Je me suis laissé échapper. "). But we'll leave it here for now.
Now make a sentence (*in french*) that has the word "échapper" in it :-) | r/lanl_french | post | r/LANL_French | 2009-11-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5VlVtZ2t4cThNNUUtSHQ3a1pLMWF4VHczNEpST3NWbjF4ajdJU0JzV2lZdlVUNTR5YlZrQ3A2MVA5RnNSZlk5ZkpuZ184MklVUUxFbEp2REFBZkVXTnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2cGpGRVFORThSUi1BRUxlUlZKcEctTVJ6ZVFBVG5DN2ZydzVTcUN6ZmhjWDk1d0VnX2k1ZGI0NEVHTTJTUVBkeG9WemhrTFB6RzVCc3BnX2hkZGE2WUVNTl9GX3hGblNyUUdlSHFVMXlTeW5kSmEzbng2THlEVk1ScDNCNGJGLXBsUWtPcHFMWTBLLTlVa2pPLVpXd3FiRmdyd1FpbEswSk9TMHlNcEYzdEM2ZG4xRmUzY2xlUkJCZVBwaVpJaS1BWVgtQkhDOEVXU2NJSjhkZ3FCMEpTdz09 |

If you speak French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese, then you know how easy it can be to pick words out of the other romance languages.
Well, the other day I was watching [a Seinfeld clip on Youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ7GOXH9Avo), which someone had subtitled in another language. I always get distracted by subtitles so I kept looking at it, and I realized that I could figure some of it out even with the English audio off.
I looked to the sidebar to find that the subtitles were in Romanian of all things. I was really surprised because I had always assumed Romanian would look/sound very Russian - but it is in fact the 5th romance language. (Duh, I should have known - ROMANian)
Check out this YouTube video that teaches you a few basic words to see what I mean! Looks like a pretty easy language to pick up if you have knowledge of the other romance languages.

I can't promise to post regular lessons, but I can answer questions, chitchat, review your writing, things like that. I can also discuss formal syntax and grammar.
I can't engage in voice/video chat at the moment. :(

Born in Tijuana in the 70s, back then there was no such thing as 'watch TV in Spanish', all we got was local San Diego stations and a couple in Spanish, but with shitty programming, so I naturally stuck with the San Diego channels.
By all means fire away, I may not be the Grammar Master, but I will get you through that 'why do people in Tijuana say compa as opposed to cuate and how does that translate in English?' sort of questions. I'll do my best to answer in the evening once enough questions (if any) go through.
I would like to say that I know 4 languages, but my French is really bad, I can read it, but can't pronounce it.
My Japanese is good enough to know what they are talking about, I lost practice with writing. So I'm here to learn more than to what I got to offer. | r/learnanewlanguage | post | r/LearnANewLanguage | 2009-11-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5bnlwdjVzWkZPUURnMmVaeGt2Ymx0LWk0MVVmamFvMVcwU20zd2tBNGkxNzU5WkZzbmFHV040VTh0X1NQMXkwQUJqTHBvWE9uUW1jcDloMjRkOUFEMFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2MndWNGlfcmFuNVFtR0xEVzMwbFdnZU96RGNIMGRYNERzclVWUnhOQTNzdmRMNEVvdldRZEt1eThYNThnRmY0LUpITzhEM0dwTVVDRURINFp3OUlYUElMWlFId3F0aU5aaGlSQXpBVUFVLXNFREpTX2ZkdDhsRTJNYVR4R1lXNlJJZjc3eldpR21hSjdTQUNmSkpTYmYwSUtSd0RtSnBwS3JIbF83eFJrTHF0WERPS0xGcUNPdEZmN080MnZoRVNqbWVBS3NucFhjX0I3ZFJ6MVlXWFFWQT09 |
I've got some minimal vocabulary right now, and no grammar whatsoever. If anyone can recommend me any books / sites / games, please do so.
I'm open to learning books too, but most of the times, what's in the language books isn't necessarily how the language is really spoken everyday. So I'd rather go for the games / videos / forums. | r/learnanewlanguage | post | r/LearnANewLanguage | 2009-11-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5S0FOeU90X2pUeGlRQ1hNQVFkLWRiV290V0dIWG9ocjBrY09wanRBZlZndVhMaWJNZ2V1QkphY01rb1RvMFhlblY2a1FMaWhVdlJBbmpmRlNLNzRzX0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2d2NZOXRJVVFQQV9xRGFWYnNBd21TYjc5OGhkUnowel9jLWFmeWZTRjBSVVZkcHBhRVhicHZKX1EtNzFndnZmZE4yS2V5QWNWOWtrdmZpSTlLR3FPWEYwWHpqUGpVdnB4YWVlcnJTZ3FvclVJbERaVU5oWHdoRXNaZ09RQ3h2LVFfaE1KRU4tMklaMW5IdTVURzVWRlB5MHUwUXdZZ1dYYXdPWHVnTDVzMllXYndGam1xem52dHpqN2NNbDR4eEhP |

[Foreign language internet TV](http://multilingualbooks.com/online-tv.html)
[Foreign language internet radio](http://multilingualbooks.com/online-radio.html)
[Other resources on the site's "learning content" page](http://www.multilingualbooks.com/mbcontent.html)
I notice that, unfortunately, about a third of the links don't work. I don't know that they're broken, my guess would be geographical viewing restrictions akin to BBC streaming video.
Nevertheless, many of them work just fine. Many languages from which to choose. I have some other resources which I'll post in the future.
Even though watching TV and listening to the radio might not really be "immersion", I find that watching and listening helps. Captioned foreign moves also help. It gives you a better feel for the diction and vocal mannerisms that people actually use when they speak the language as a native. Especially when you get to the intermediate stage, where you can understand much of what is being said.
Also, TV, talk and music help you get a feel for the culture of the regions where the language is spoken.
I hope some of you find this useful.

I'm just completing Spanish 101. I have almost 2 months until I start the next semester, and I feel like I'm going to forget everything!

Really, cussing is the UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

...and I realise that you want consistency with /r/LearnANewLanguage and the other LANL subreddits; but even so, I think this subreddit would do much better if it were called something like **LearnFrench**. Here are my reasons.
* Firstly and most importantly, a subreddit needs a name that makes its purpose clear, instead of obscuring it with acronyms. Think about TIL and DAE: their subreddit titles are actually /r/todayilearned and /r/doesanybodyelse. Those titles are self-explanatory, as all subreddit names should be.
* There is no reason to make this subreddit's connection to its parent so obvious. They are separate entities, and this subreddit could even be seen to supersede the other. And the relationship between different language subreddits would be just as clear with the "Learn" prefix as with the "LANL" prefix -- and much more intuitive.
* This subreddit has a simple goal: to teach people French. The current name doesn't convey that goal; it doesn't even suggest it. Think about what will be visible on a Google results page: the submission title and the URL. Seeing "LearnFrench" in a URL might make me want to click it, even if the page title itself isn't interesting. "LANL"? Hardly.
I hope I have made my case plain enough. LANL_French is the wrong name for this subreddit. Now, while the readership is still small, is the right time to realise that and make the move. | r/lanl_french | post | r/LANL_French | 2009-11-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5elIwQnJ1eHBXUmhvdjVCS0pmWGRYZWF2dmh3RmhqcmJkZkR2a3ZiRXdFb190Rm9pQ19BbzNQeTJEamczVUpZOFhRZ1V0N1JkRVRoYlNQU2VlQUJpeHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2c3lnV2psb3VTMkFvM1RxeUg0QnJGaWFDS2c0cVBlcUxzSnBrVlN0X283bXc2WlFhT19QWjlLRmJJZU1vTE1pUEtqNE5EOHdjZldJQzBTOHpkcXgxR2x0OHBqMmM5blNUcVM2NFRhSjhySlJQejF6S2ljZmhKSG5hc2RnQW5ISF9DWGVhMzhwWmNEVjd4YzNuc0JvOUJBRVExRXJqWW5VLUVMOGlWRHJtZHZLVzhSd2Fxd3lsbVRrUlliVXEyc0Jv |
Today's Word: "Sauter".
Example:
**1.** " J'ai sauté par-dessus la roche ". (*I **jumped** over the rock*).
In the french part of Canada, "sauter" also mean "exploser" (*explode*) or "briser" (*to break*).
Example:
**2.** " La bombe va sauter " (*The bomb is going to **explode***).
In form of an expression, some also say " J'ai **sauté** une femme " (*I **fucked** a girl*). This isn't common, but if you say this is Canada, most people will understand you.
Now make a sentence (in french) that has the word "sauter" in it :-) | r/lanl_french | post | r/LANL_French | 2009-11-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm5HckY5cUxsUUoycWI1T3BRSXNFbXRBb2xuT2xkcXh3bjR3bWhRM1VfaXVSdDBfM3g3S0NiUURjUW9mTU1RNnlYMmhsQ0ZXTWRSZGdncmg2RkYwWlg3a1hidEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Hckd2MEhVN2V6WUZRTjdZWEpIdHlkRUtBdTU1UHVlMENMUXJVOG84QU12eTlGLVFkdVc5d3pNYklUTEhxblRNakxNaG1DWVBsNnRMNVdPRkJVRTUzM2VORkJ1UGtEME5jcW04eUpJQ1NDNzB0U1BBVzRueGc3RUF0SjJLMzF5RmZsZ1l4Wk5USlNGS3lZeU9hZUJmUFRrcF9janZ3X0EyWG1sTmNRdF9xcDNuYjhjb0N1V3ozYk1EbzhvWDVlcnhkbUJFTXcwbjMxSlJuekNZWmNqU1VWY3dmZz09 |
Hi, I've decided to take the AP Japanese test this year, witch is about equavilent to level two JLPT, I think. I need to learn about 420 kanji, and my current flashcard method is slow, despite being effective. I was curious if anyone had any better, or different tactics for memorizing kanji.
I also need to learn sentence structure and further vocab/verb conjugations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
