A serious question.
I stumbled on this article today (NSFW link): http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2012/0...ncanny-valley/ And now really wondering if the 'girls' in pictures of the articles are artificial dolls which are quite well made, or are they humans? The article playing it really ambiguous, and can't be bother to read through comments. If i have to guess based on pictures, i will say dolls. But somehow have a feeling that the article was just poking fun on Korean cosmetic industries My further comments: they are either very well made doll, or the term inhumane have a literal meaning at last

I'm seriously considering me opening up a blog. What or where is the best place for me to get my own personal blog, and what is the best image capturing/screencapping stuff out there? I'm new to this so.... Yeah. Might need a little explaining.

These girls took the "dolly eyes" style and went absolutely batshit insane with it, and the result is rather creepy. They also seem to be using the "anime eyes" contact lenses that make their eyes look huge, which is contributing to the uncanny valley effect. They're not realdolls or anything.

You sound like you have a way to pin down a full sized guy and control him from there.
I didn't write anything to give you any ideas. Carry on, my dear. Quote:

Screencaps are fairly simple. If you're using Mac OS X, it's built-in to the operating system: press command, shift, and 4 (all together) to turn your mouse into crosshairs, click and drag to create a highlighted area, and when you release the mouse it will take a photo of the highlighted area. Alternately, you can press command, shift, and 4 to bring up the crosshairs, and then press the spacebar to turn the crosshairs into a camera. In this mode, program windows will highlight as you mouse over them. Clicking will take a screenshot of the program window, and a shadow effect around the program will automatically be applied to the image. Finally, if you press command, shift, and 3 (all together) then it will take a screenshot of your entire screen space, including any secondary or tertiary monitors you have. All screenshots are placed into individual .png files on your desktop, stamped with the date and time. I don't know if Windows has advanced any with screenshots since I last used it. Press the "print screen" (it might be truncated to something like "prnt scrn" button on your keyboard. This takes a capture of your entire screen, but doesn't create a file for it. You'll need to open a program like Photoshop or Microsoft Paint and paste into a blank document in order for the image output to be visible, and then you'll need to edit it and/or save it to a file. Third-party programs allow you to operate in a manner more similar to Mac OS X; when I was a Windows user, I used Hypersnap DX and then, later, SnagIt. I don't believe that either program is free; there may be free alternatives. Which also assumes that the opponent with the knife or gun isn't experienced in fighting. I'm not trying to say that a weapon creates an automatic loss situation to someone who knows martial arts, just that you still need to be smart about things even if you train in martial arts.

Windows Vista and later has something called the "Snipping Tool", I believe- which has four modes: free-form snip (draw any shape and it's contents be captured), rectangular snip (crosshair, drag to capture an area), window snip and full-screen snip. It allows you to do some editing and also allows you to save the screenshot you just took. One free tool you can use is LightScreen (PortableApps version here), which makes this process a little quicker by saving the screenshot for you and also has a variety of options.

How can I buy realreader?
This is one of the few times a software is good enough for me to want to support and affordable enough for me to pay for. But their site really isn't helping :c URL Can anyone manage to find a purchase link in there somewhere?

So on Facebook everytime I like or comment on something it appears on everybody else's newsfeed, I tried looking around the privacy settings but it doesn't look like it gives the option of turning that feature off.
Is there any way to get around this?

Well for starters, here's the "How Sharing Works" page. Seems like you can control who sees your posts on a case-by-case basis. Comments and likes don't seem to be affected by standard privacy controls. It might depend on what you're liking/commenting on. You can edit who sees your likes (friends, friends of friends, etc.) through the edit of likes. IDK about likes of status updates/links/photos though.
Too bad Facebook privacy is largely a opt-in service, rather than opt-out.
