I have a DVD disc for my business that I would like to burn to my Android phone so I can show clients. I believe on Android devices I have to convert the video to an mp4 (not totally sure). I used VLP player to burn the DVD to my documents and now want to convert and transfer to my phone. Thanks for your help!

we have illegal narcotics in america…and i’m curious of why they are illegal.

even if we tap into the issue of brain damage…isn’t that the users choice?, we have no laws against cults that brainwash their followers into their strange ways….why because it’s the individuals choice to decide.

legal drugs and illegal drugs…allot of people question why marijuana is illegal because it’s been proven to be less dangerous then alcohol to the users health…so the health issue isn’t a problem, because the government still allows tobacco, alcohol, and extremely unhealthy consumables to be allowed on the legal market…

I’m just curious of how the government draws the line of invading peoples freedom and privacy, over a substance that can so easily be compared with the same potential dangers as our other legal substances? do they just make it up? and if so, where is the people’s say in this?

It has been suggested that the origin of a number of these laws was racially motivated. Take the case of Harry Anslinger saying "Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men’s shadows and look at a white woman twice." So, ignorance was a contributing factor to the prohibition of marijuana.

I’ve also been privy to the argument that alcohol producers originally favored making marijuana illegal because it grows like a weed and would cut into their profits.

All laws are created and destroyed through government. So, the People’s say is either through their representatives or by presenting a ballot initiative – like proposition 215 in California. Federal law, however, trumps state law. So any real change would have to come from DC.

There are activist groups that support medicinal users in CA. And other groups (Common Sense for Drug Policy, for example) that discuss prohibition and its toll on society at large. The only political party in the US (that I know of) that vows to end the "War on Drugs" is the Libertarian Party. Disclaimer: I am a member of the Libertarian Party. Additional disclaimer: Libertarians are a third party with, sadly, little influence over the federal government as we know it.

Can C++ or Turbo Pascal or Visual Basic program a robot to walk, dance and other simple things a human can do?

I don’t know what was used however, I would go with something that can give you a small footprint on the disk. Turbo Pascal is one, C/C++ is another. Visual Basic or anything that creates a GUI is not necessary and in fact, probably counter productive in this case.

I’d use something like PureBasic, PellesC, or anything that can compile to machine code without unneeded libraries.

The answer to the question is "Yes" though. Anything that can control the ports to where the servos are attached can be used to program it.

No robot lover is technologically advanced enough to be able to read and reply to you yet.

I am a 12 year old boy and im thinking about getting a robotic arm for christmas, I was looking at the Lynx 5 Robotic Arm Combo Kit that you get off lynxmotion.com I was wondering if i could get any advice on it anything you have to offer could help.
ADD* l ol, no im talking about a small robot arm that does simple tasks with sevose and suff not like an actual prosthetic arm

is this like a prosthetic? are you missing an arm?

Man, i feel for you. I hope you have an incredible christmas

i was checking out robosapien at walmart … it looks cool but all i really want to know is can that thing carry a beer?

i want it to be a x mas gift my finacee i just need to serve beer my finacee has a man room in the house just filled with his junk and stuff I thought this would be a nice addition if it can carry a beer………
i saw it at walmart….

a beer would be kina heavy for it….plus it sways back and forth as it walk….. its a great robot for entertainment purposes… the most i ever got it to pick up was a rubber ball… other things seemed to be too heavy…. plus i grew tired of the robot after a few days… bu it can do tons of other things like giv a hi 5, whistle at a girl, dance, throw things, fart, karate, etc. lol

I finally finished the update for this video. I created another version of the sound fx, I added the cloth banner, better particle smoke, and hopefully a better composite. For more information on this piece check out my website: http://www.graysonchalmers.com/html/dread.php
