Here the app I made - didn't really have much time for proper editing of the video and it still needs some polishing but it works

Pretty amazing what technology can do these days. 30 yrs ago this was sci-fi. Should have prepared a list of phrases for translation earlier - it's difficult to come up with something on the spot.

ohhh and speaking of apps and amazing technology...
check this out -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... veil&hl=en

An app that, among other cool features, can take a picture of some text and recognize it (the text itself). Then it automatically provides translation of it into your language if it realizes that it's foreign. Very impressive - once had to use a car manual, but the problem was that it was only in german. Just took a photo and voila - got everything translated almost perfectly into polish and I could fix the damn thing.

Image D'OH! Image
But he seems to have thought he had been captured by government militiamen from the much feared shabiha. The militia is dominated by Alawites, members of the president's heterodox Shia sect.

Mr Fares is reported to have offered prayers that would have made him seem a Shia rather than a Sunni - and therefore on their side.

This was heard by ISIS fighters, and in the growing atmosphere of sectarian hatred, he was then subjected to his savage fate.


I have principles! And if you don't like them... I have others.
According to the newspaper, he alluded to a saying by the Prophet Muhammad that Allah forgives those who kill a believer by mistake.
Oh thank goodness for that!

This clearly a case of racism. A white family wouldn't have been stopped, a white family running away from police would not have been chased and a white teenager attacking a police officer would have been perfectly acceptable and understandable.

Breaking the window and shooting out the tyres was a bit drastic to be honest, certainly it doesn't make the cops look good.

Clearly the mother and son deserve an ass beating (as determined by the court) but not summary justice dispensed on the road side.

Shooting at that van makes the cop look woefully inept. Everyone knows that was a job for an RPG. :lol:

Breaking Beta: The Walter White Transformation

Interesting article.

Also, a counterpoint to Anna Gunn's article: http://thequestfor50.com/breaking-bad-m ... ly-pulpit/

Even if you're not into building a flying replica of the V1 there's an ignition module for them and it costs just 30$
