Nice content but had forgotten what the site looked like. It literally kills the eyes and gives a headache when the green on black index page suddenly changes to black on white text file page.
Indie movie maker (with story, screenplay, editing, cinematography, directing and money all being mine so that I am in total control of creativity). Making movies has been a long time dream for me. I will do that when I am older and have enough time and finances to experiment, more than what I have been able to so far. And when I do that successfully, I would be simply swapping software & moviemaking for what is profession and what is hobby.
You can make a feature on your smartphone. Time is more of an issue, but you really, really don't need much cash. And you can make a short film in a weekend on a zero budget, comfortably.
See this article on "Layover" - made for $6k - and remember that you could shoot for much less.
Hell, Sundance sensation "Tangerine" was shot on an iPhone.
Turning that into a full-time profession is a different animal, though. If you really want to do that as a career, I'd advise learning a lot about the realities of the indie filmmaking life before jumping. It's not a great time for that move.
c++ 03. (This works well for me and never felt a need to switch to newer versions beyond using a few things here and there like auto, with new meaning. I have been using latest Visual Studio Express versions since 2010 so this 'mix' has no problem. I don't write code to be backward compatible compiler wise so on that count also its not a problem.)
Two things stood out right away (on Firefox 42) and point 2 particularly dissuaded me from checking it out any further.
1. It doesn't check for empty content and produces a pdf with just 'memo' and horizontal line.
2. Can't paste, ctrl+v won't work and there is no paste in context menu.
> Notice how much of the countries and people living near the equator fail to have built great civilizations, humans just aren't as productive in the heat.
I think Iraq, Egypt, Iran and India were all as hot as they are now and they all had some of the greatest civilizations. Historically these "countries" spread beyond current political borders which more or less encompasses a continuous stretch of land and I am talking in that sense.
"I think Iraq, Egypt, Iran and India were all as hot as they are now."
Not really, we are talking 3000 to 4000 years ago and certainly climate was colder then.
When we talk about Egypt we know there were very fertile land and cities then that are desert now. In Mesopotamia there were terrible deforestation done by humans that is recorded on documents and salinization of fertile lands that are now also desert but at the time supported millions of people.
We also know there has been at least two terrible changes in climate that lasted at least years that made the Earth cold and dark linked to volcanic eruptions.
Printed copies stored in libraries of UN and each of the Security Council permanent member countries, and whoever volunteers to make it "technology proof". Further, the paper and ink could be engineered to last for many centuries.
