Kings James Version? Pfft. New Revised Standard Version or bust.

eh. New International Version or New Living Translation.
2011 NIV is fine. I’m not picky about it being the '84 NIV like some people might be.

New King James Version might be “poetic”, but I imagine that wasn’t the intent of the original authors of the scrolls/books (outside of Psalms and Song of Solomon, obviously). KJV has also been said to be the least accurate translation, but is widely popular because a) there is no copyright; and b) it was the first ever english translation widely available to the public at large.

I don’t know where you get that idea about the KJV. The scholars involved in that translation were very meticulous about being accurate with their translation. So much so that they italicized any word they had to add for clarity in the English language. So that the reader is always clear about what is actually in the text.

The NIV on the other hand is very liberal about changing the scriptures to suit the translators’ doctrine.

The KJV has its own issues but they’re nowhere near as profound as the NIV.

Suffice it to say we have better tools, methods and knowledge regarding translations of ancient Greek than they did back then. And they did not translate the original KJV Bible from scratch, but rather from another translation of the Bible.

https://www.crosswalk.com/culture/books/non-fiction/how-accurate-is-the-kjv-400-years-later.html

Zondervan has said that a reason why many people take issue with the changes from the 1984 NIV to the 2011 NIV is because of the gap between editions. Prior to 1984, Zondervan apparently had released updates to the translation more closely together.

The reasoning why it’s problematic to just have one English translation, that forever unchangingly stands as the definitive version, is because language doesn’t work that way. The original writers were not, for the most part, writing verse. They were writing letters and such to each other in common regional languages of the time. Language changes over time, which is why it is even difficult for us to understand Shakespeare without having to ponder the orginal meaning.

And if by “doctrine” you’re referring to the '11 NIV including “brothers and sisters” in places, my understanding is that the wording used in the original source text was considered more gender-neutral back then than to deliberately address only just men.

The calculator just tells you what percentage of the disc the data would use… You don’t really want to hit a full 100%.

thank you

hopefully I won’t need to ask anything when I do ESB.

So how’d it go?

I think it would be helpful if someone could explain what the different home video releases actually are and their differences. I don’t personally have that information though.

In the 1997 version it’s the one with the really bad Jaba the hutt it was the one released in theaters It adds Jedi rocks and Luke screaming as Luke drops off of the pole at the end of empire strikes back If you want that version look up harmys Respecialized

2004 version with Hayden Christian at the end of return of the Jedi and the really bad color correction and it adds Naboo to the end of return of the Jedi it adds the Ian mcdermand as the emperor in empire strikes back

2011 version it adds the r2d2 rock it adds Vader screaming no at the end of return of the Jedi it adds the really bad obi wan scream

That is the very brief version of the major changes

Yes, but there are more versions with changes than just these. Some are more subtle.

As far as I know, they’re identical to the home video releases as they use the same master files.

Ok but I still would like
to have those recordings

Yes, but which ones?

I want a physical Bible. I want my Bible in leather cover with gold gilding, not some impersonal text on a kindle.

The Bible does not work well on an eBook Reader.

It also does not work as -

…a hat; a pair of pants; a nose picker; a garage door opener; a talcum powder dispenser; etc…?

The Bible does not work well on an eBook Reader. But on an app, like the YouVersion app Life.Curch made, it works very well indeed.

I like both. Not either, but both.

I use Kindle because my wife can’t see how many Star Wars books I own.

Also she’s annoying, right?

Can’t tell if serious.

Also I can’t tell if that’s a subtle dig at me or not (carried over from the Bitching Thread).

I thought he was asking if he’s trying to mimic a tv broadcast he saw as a child.

Also that.

at348, Are you wanting it to be HD quality, or are you wanting it to look and feel like a TV broadcast from back in the day?

First, please put a an empty line between what you’re quoting and your reply.

Second, what doubleofive means is that there are several “versions” of the film Star Wars, as when it was released at various times it had different things about it changed.

For example, the original theatrical Star Wars did not say “Episode IV: A New Hope” in the opening crawl. In a release on home video, during the escape from the Death Star the Stormtroopers had “Close the blast doors!” dialogue added. etc. There even were changes from the '97 Special Editions to the '04 Blurays to the ('11?) Blurays.

005 is asking you what aspects of Star Wars you’re looking for, beyond just “Special Edition” or “Theatrical”.

Valid point, I am properly shamed.

Good. 😉

You ninja’d me. I started reading the page before you posted.

At the time, I didn’t know he was even being snarky. I thought it was in reference to an actual book.

I wonder why Alaska’s gun death rate is so high.

Suicide. For real. Which is a huge chunk (over 60%) of all these guns deaths, but Alaska has either the first- or second-highest rate in the country, depending on the year (they trade places with Wyoming). Native Alaskans have one of the highest suicide rates on the planet.

Also, state gun regulations all have the “neighbor state” problem. If you’re near a state with lax gun laws, do the strict gun laws have as much of an effect in your state? Hawaii is a bit of an example of what happens when you have strict* gun laws and no neighbor state problem.

* “Strict” on a US scale, which goes from “very lax” at one end to “completely irresponsible regulatory void” at the other.

Sounds like we should ban suicide.

It did used to be a crime, but neither suicide nor attempted suicide was ever prosecuted. Apparently state laws that criminalized suicide were abolished in federal court. So now it is not.

Oh! That was actually a dig. I thought, when he said that, he was referring to The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson.

Which is actually a thing.

Okay then.

I don’t read too many books anymore so I tend to go digital because it’s in a situation (travel, mainly) where I prioritize convenience over tangibility. Reading digital doesn’t bother me like it does some people.

Reading digital doesn’t bother me either, but I think the shine has worn off for me on the Kindle craze. I used to be all about digital because it’s so convenient, but lately I’ve been really indifferent to it as both have their advantages.

In other words, there are files inside of the .iso. It’s sort of similar to a .zip file. And when you burn the .iso to the disc, you don’t want to actually burn the .iso file itself so that there is a single .iso file on the disc; but you instead want the burning software to extract the .iso while burning it. You want the burned disc, were you to insert it into your disc drive, to have files on it the same as if you were to, say, browse inside the .iso with WinZip.

So would you then prefer to just not use an ebook reader in general, dahmage?

I admit there is something… tangible to a physical book that inherently feels superior to digital.

Those people who make “Random Movie Fight Scene Here with Healthbars” videos are wasting their time. But then again, around 92% of all Youtube content creators are too.

Does that include the “How Many Times Do Marv and Harry Die in Home Alone?” videos?

Stephen King’s IT, Page 423 of 1041. (7 pt. font on Universal Book Reader for Android. Physical book is in storage.)

which font family?

I can’t tell if that’s a serious question. E-Readers usually have multiple selectable fonts.
