Can this onion ring beat justin bieber !?

IT all started six days ago, when someone decided to create a joke group to see if justin bieber could be defated by an onion ring, after a few days fans were joining at a rate of about 10 fans a second, and by day 4 justin bieber had been defeated! Now the group has moved on to defeat miley cyrus and the jonas brothers, their next “victim” is Britney Spears. Join this group (become a fan) to show your support http://www.facebook.com/MSpencer21#!/pages/Can-this-Onion-Ring-get-more-fans-than-Justin-Bieber/285409781939?ref=ts.

MAP PACK 4 by unknown dood

Hey, u dont have to believe this but random unknown ppl have been right before have they not?
• Will take place in area 51 Nevada and will defiantly be the last map pack
• As of now the Zombie Map name is undecided but, Rotäuger is being considered
• The Pack-a-Punch machine will make a return only this time around you can upgrade just about anything from your knife to grenades to even monkey bombs
• Biggest map yet with 4 stories and various Teleporter locations
• More doors to open, guns to buy, and secrets to discover
• The mystery box will be back and this time there will be a chance of receiving already upgraded weapons as well as two modern weapons thrown into the mix
• Brand new gun the 37.8 Polychromatic Rifle, it shoots plasma projectiles that latch on to zombies causing them to explode spraying more of the stuff everywhere. The chain reaction will end there but with a 7 shot clip size with 85 shots to spare its one hell of a rifle
• New pick up which makes the person who picked it up invincible for 30 seconds
• Release date- September 24
• Downloaded along with 3 multiplayer maps
• Includes many different types of zombies as they converge on the characters last stand
1. Nazi (German)Zombies
2. Imperial (Japanese)Zombies
3. Regio Esercito(Italian) Zombies
4. Hungarian, Romanian, and Bulgarian Zombies
5. Zombie dogs will make a return along with 2 other brand new animals
6. Zombie birds will bring a whole new element as you will have to watch the skies
7. Zombie Tunnellers will attempt to undermine you as you fight off the dogs and birds in the Zombie Animate rounds
8. Every tenth round you will face off against Alien Zombies
• Treyarch has included an advanced version of the harpoon gun for the Animate and Alien rounds without which you will be hard pressed to survive
• The harpoon gun will work on normal zombies but you will probably not want to waste it. It can be equipped be pressing up on the D-Pad
• Map pack 4 has 10 new achievements for you but not all of them have been decided on
• Each character will now have a starting perk, chosen by random that they will have for the whole game. (E.G. Player 1 will have quick reload while player 2 takes 3-4 hits to go down. They are less powerful then the main perks so buying them in still recommended.)
• Each character will start with a pistol that you chose at the beginning. Has nothing to do with nationality simply the players preference
• Double tap will not return nor will quick revive instead they will be incorporated into Speed Cola which will now cost 3750 points(On a side note double tap will not be as fast nor reviving as quick)
• In place of those perks will be stopping power for 2200 points and R&G soda which gives you to ability to Run and Gun or, run while shooting, as well as run longer distances and this will sell for 1750 points
• Every character but Takeo will return and he will be replaced by a mysterious figure in black who as the levels goes on it is revealed to be someone from the main campaign
• The figure will first appear in a CGI cut scene at the start of the level and will stay with you until the end
• If you make it to round 35 after you all die you will see another CGI cut scene which is a final farewell to Nazi zombies
• Or is it? Certain Easter eggs in the new map hint at a possible zombie themed COD 7
• You decide, either way I doubt we’ve seen the end of Nazi Zombies

Map pack 2 Cod 5

CALL OF DUTY ZOMBIES HQ

Call of duty 5 map pack came out recently, something you should definitely buy, its 9.99 and has three really well laid out maps for online multiplayer, and a new online zombie map. There’s obviously glitches for the shi no numa map, so here are the glitches tips and tricks. The videos brought to you by parsop92a.

These are glitches, tips, strategies, and new additions.


Nacht Der Untoten Glitches:


The first glitch is patched but still occasionally works, it gives you a invisible barrier upstairs.

call of Duty 5:  Nazi Zombies Nacht der Untoten glitch - Unpatched

The second glitch is in the first room, and they can attack you from behind, as it is on one of the pillars. Theoretically two people could cover behind, while you and a friend cover the front, with one person in the glitch.

call of Duty 5: Nazi Zombies Nacht der Untoten glitch #2- Unpatched


The third glitch is upstairs, and is similar to the last glitch, they can get you from behind, but there aren’t many zombies coming from behind anyways.

call of Duty 5: Nazi Zombies Nacht der Untoten glitch #3- Unpatched

Verruckt Glitches

Firstly here is a list of what was added (what wasn’t in previous map, or what was in previous map but isn’t in the new map):

- Mystery box teddy bear makes the box disapear and reapear in on of the locations marked with a pile of rubbish, only reappears somewhere  you already opened.

- Zombies can attack you through the barriers without them ripping off the boards.

- Theres now electric barriers

- The ppsh is buyable through the mystery box.

- There are perk-a-colas (sleight of hand, double tap, juggernaut, quick revive)

- You are split up in four player, and have to get to the electricity room to join each other.

- There is a electricity room, all the barriers, and the machines cant be used untill electricity is activated.

- Same song, but with actual guitar and drums.

- Zombies look different

- The nuke gives you 400 points/money(s)

- There are voices and your person comments on the kills and headshots, unless voices are disabled.

- Guns can be mounted

Anything i missed just tell me.

Here’s the trailer:


Here’s the second trailer:


This glitch makes you invincible with a barrier around you, its upstairs near the speed cola and is very easy.

Call of Duty 5: Nazi Zombies Verruckt Glitch - Unpatched

The following is the multiple gun glitch for verruckt, you need bouncing betties, and a perk machine near that you havent bought from, its fairly easy to do, but hard to get every time. Its actually not a glitch, but a easter egg put in by treyarch.
This next glitch is patched but still occasionally works, its the best glitch i think, as long as someone covers the window behind you. Its at the double tap machine upstairs and fairly easy to master.
Also here’s a alright strategy. Dont use with Ray gun :S
Shi no numa Glitches

First what was added:

- Hell hounds now come to kill you you every five to seven rounds.
- The type one hundred can now be bought on the wall in the hut or in the mystery box.
- The mystery box can respawn in a place you havent opened.
- Look in the sky above the huts to see where the mystery box reappered too.
- Its now Imperial zombies not Nazis, so they look different.
- Theres alot more voices.
- For the first time in Call of duty history, the enemies and allies work together (American, Japanese, German, Russian.)
- Its bigger
- You can get the Colt M1911 in the box
- Theres now the Artisaka, which essentially replaces the kar98k and springfield in the first room.
- Theres a new gun called the Wunderwaffe DG-2 that shoots a bolt of electricity at the zombies and kills all zombies that are near eachother when shot at a single zombie. Works like a static circuit.
- The perk a colas are random, when you open the hut, theres no guarantee that youll get a certain perk a cola, its completely random (or so they say)
- The Ai is more advanced.
- You can go outside of rooms for the first time. You are not enclosed in rooms. The swamp slows you down.
- There is a zipline.
- To use electrically operated things, you do not need to go to the electricity room, you just use the electrical thing.
- Theres traps at each hut (electricity barriers)
- Theres a flogger, which is a giant, spinning…thing…with spikes.
Tell me if im missing something…
The trailer

The first glitch is the corner glitch in the first room of shi no numa, it makes you invincible and all the zombies go the opposite direction, you need atleast two people and the other people can stand behind you and crouch or lie down. This does not protect you from hell hounds, just zombies. The Wunderwaffe DG-2 Helps when theres lots of zombies.


Nazi Zombies: Shi No Numa Glitch

The second Glitch is to get multiple guns, anywhere where there are perk a colas, this is not like the one in verruckt, where you use bouncing betties, thats patched, now theres a new one.
Nazi Zombie Shi No Numa Multi Gun Glitch

The third glitch has no video but i just found it and can explain it, all you do is buy a perk a cola, then quickly buy a gun, if you do this you can have three guns, and negative points, so you dont need to have enough money to buy both.
A tip for shi no numa to find out where the mystery box goes is this:
Shi No Numa - Look up to see the light

Who knows when map pack three will come out, with the fourth map, but when map pack 3 comes out, im sure it will be amazing.
Some guy claims the following:
“Rumors has it that on the fourth map of nazi zombies (whenever it comes) the character Damitri from story mode will be in it. And in the fourth map is when the team gets saved. Just follow the story line. But in my opinion, its too soon for the team to get saved. I mean, do you really want the zombie games in COD5 to end?? But still, COD5 creaters have developed a storyline to the zmbies,the experiments,the mystery box, the hell hounds, the wunderwaffle and of course..the meteor that caused it..”
In Modern Warfare 2 there may be alien terrorists, or terrorist zombies, or undead terrorists, or alien invasion …. you get it…there might be something similar to nazi or imperial zombies. Also in MW2 there may be new perks.
Cod MW2 comes out on November 10 th , 2009
Call of duty is the best.
If theres anything else you would like to add, or if theres mistakes in grammar, spelling etc…just drop a comment.

Hello to all who have not recieved pens.

Hi if you havent yet recieved your ir pen please immediately EMAIL me at hgds@axisos.ca so we can see why and i can resend it if necessary. Thanks.

For people that purchased my ir pens.

Hi, how are you all(please reply in comments,) The first topic i would like to adress is the use of the wiimote in mac. 

 

The first step to connecting a wiimote to mac is downloading RVL ENABLER, which lets you connect the wiimtoeto the mac via bluetooth. http://www.wiili.org/forum/osx-wiimote-enabler-t229.html

 

Secondly, download the Mac version of wiimote whiteboard at:http://www.uweschmidt.org/wiimote-whiteboard

And its that simple.

For pc users, you just install the bluetooth software on teh cd that came with your bluetooth device, and it will install a program called bluesoleil. Start periodically pressing the 1 and 2 buttons on your wiimote together. With bluesoleil you just click the middle circle on the main window, and you will see NINTENDO-RVL-2810 (or any number) click that. Right click the nintendo rvl and then click connect. It will connect, start up wiimote smoothboard from boonjin.com calibrate, and start writing.

 

If you have any other questions or comments, please leave a comment or email me at raj_grim_reaper@hotmail.com. If i recieve spam emails, the spam emailers email imbox will be flooded with spam from nigerian scammers.

Ps3 for cheap!!

If anyone wants a ps3, the laser doesnt work, but for the DIY’er it should be fine…..find it here: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320308845055 

 

How to make pcbs!

Hi, heres how to make pcbs THIS GUIDE IS FROM:

Most info from: http://www.riccibitti.com/pcb/pcb.htm

Some info from: Me

Some info from: My friend Gordon

Some info from: http://www.instructables.com USER: The Real Elliot

Comment if you have ny thig to say or just want to genraly comment, my keyboad is scs)

 

Notes:

- Ink printers DO NOT work.

- Magazine paper works best, i tried glossy photo paper, semi glossy photo paper, and matte photo paper, magazine paper works best.

- Dont use magazine covers, and try to get pages with no words.

- For etching use Copper Chloride in Aqueous Hydrochloric Acid Solution (HyPo x 2 with PA x 1) 

 

- try to make sure your design has small circles in all four corners so you can drill holes to align double sided designs.

- for double sided designs, do one side first, then the other, and keep another piece of paper on the top and bottom, and also put a small piece of tape inbetween the paper and magazine paper.

- the tape will stick the paper together and make it work well.

- I used double sided copper clad board from lees electronics on main st vancouver.

- if you do use double sided copper remember to scrub both sides as both sides have a protective coating you must scrub off.

- you can either use a saw and sanpaper to cut the pcb, laser cutter, water jet cutter, but i found a simple foot laid works best.

 

So heres the guide below: [Read the rest of this entry...]

Wiimote 6DOF Head Tracking

So, sorry for the wait since the last release but i have been busy. Heres the features

A script, originated for glovepie:

Hello people,

I’ve written a little script for glovepie (http://carl.kenner.googlepages.com/glovepie) to use our beloved wiimote as a 6 degree of freedom headtracker. This can be used with every game that supports TrackIR (see TrackIR.com for list of games…)!
The only thing you need is a IR light source with three dots aligned horizontally, the same as Johnny Lee demonstrates plus one dot in the middle; this one needs to be a little bit behind the outer ones (say 5cm or more, see value var.DotDepth). I installed LEDs/reflectors on a cap.

The geometry isn’t done exactly, but can be calculated very fast this way. Fortunately, your brain can compensate for the small non-linearities that arise due to this! even without headache :-)

I would appreciate leaving my name in the scriptheader below.

Enjoy and tell me your opinion!

Manuel Unternaehrer

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Also by Manuel, a fishtank script for glovepie:

// Fishtank with glovepie and wiimote, 2 dots needed
// Watching the fishtank, Close one eye, the effect is much greater!
// 2008 by Manuel Unternaehrer

(all the glovepie scripts converted to C#)

____________________________________________________________________________________________

HINT:0.3.2 will include a thing like Edusim http://edusim3d.com

Smoothing:

You may have noticed that sometimes in PhotoShop or Paint it goes all pixely and its hard to draw…

Well with smoothing you go from

This                        to                      This

Video: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0dXCuJ6aas]

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Right Clicking:

In Windows XP the right clicking doesnt work properly, so i reimpleented it, and it will either open up a menu if the wiimote sees the ir led in one spot for over 5 seconds that says Right click and also close program, and bring up VKeyboard.

_________________________

VKeyboard

Vkeyboard is a virtual keyboard, when you mouse over an area of the screen (specified by you) it will open up Vkeyboard, and you can type a word or simply write the word and it will convert it to text.

The theory of relativity

Hello, recently i was trying to learn about einsteins theory of relativity. This is a very odd subject as i am assuming there arent very many kids that know what it is. So far what I have found out is that everything is relative to the world around it, and that E=MC2 has something to do with it.

What E=MC2 means (scientifically speaking) E = Energy (usually in Joules); M = Mass; C = Celestrias; 2 = Squared, so MC2 is the equation for getting Energy.

The other thing is that its my birthday today!! Getting a new 24″ monitor and other stuff…

Think Different

Think Different.Original Video[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jULUGHJCCj4]ORIGINAL POST from some guy…..
On September 28th, 1997, during the broadcast premiere of Toy Story, Apple unveiled a new advertising campaign that attempts to inspire people to new heights, and to choose Apple as the brand of computer that will help them to do so. If nothing else, this campaign has promoted thought and discourse on the subject of Apple; people are talking about the ad, and about the message ‘Think different.

I can’t say what the over all effect of the ads will be; at this time they’ve been on the air twice, and who can say yet whether they succeed or flop? I love the idea and the message; the exhortation to ‘Think different’ is an important one. I decided to do these files after I did one for me, of Jim Henson. The shot of him, as Richard Dreyfuss said “We See Genius” almost moved me to tears (I want to be a muppeteer when I get around to growing up…) and, after I had done it, I decided to do them for the rest of the world, for other people’s heroes.

Below is the text of the ad, with some thumbnails that link to OS8 desktop pictures. They were made simply, by making the quicktime go full screen, taking a screenshot, and opening it into photoshop. The Apple logo was made by scanning a recent powerbook ad and playing with the apple; I reduced the colors and used some photoshop tricks to give it a nice 3D effect. The pictures are bitmappy, from being just Quicktime done REAL big, but I think with the aliased font and the funky apple, they look sort of neat that way.

To download them, you will need to hold down Option or Alt when you click on the ‘thumbnails’ (yeah, I know, they’re largish for thumbnails ;-) . The quotes are from the A&E Biography website.

Thanks so much to the people who helped me identify the people I was unsure of. I appreciate it muchly. I welcome other people’s comments.
