  1. Barry Bonds and #714

    in Random Thoughts

    Posted

    I don't get my information from the press, I get it from what I see. A man who leaves the dugout after his last at bat, talks only about himself in interviews, has his own photographer and personal trainer, as well as being the only player in the league to have his own TV show. Your right. He does care about his team.

    Hey, there. Calm down.

    Bonds is currently the most popular player in the MLB. The papparazzi has probably been right up his a$$.

    And if millions of people you never knew were talking $^!# about you, you wouldn't be going "Oh, yeah, people are great. I love being insulted by people from Iceland and other places in which I've never been in my life. IT'S FANTASTIC!"

    So that's kind of a hippocratic statement.

  10. "-" over "~"

    But in logical mathematics it's used as a negation ("~a" means "not a")

    Comfortably Numb ~ Pink Floyd --> Comfortably Numb not Pink Floyd ???

    :stars:

    I thought that this [-] was negatation (-6) and this [~] was comparison.

    Holy moly, you have succeeded at confusing me.

    I HAVE IT!

    In mathematical situations, the tilde (~) is used to convert between two systems of measurement (ie: 6 tons ~ ? kilograms)

    The tilde is used to compare.

    So, actually, it is grammatically correct to use the tilde in Comfortably Numb ~ Pink Floyd or any situation like it.

    Heehee...

    I always use the hyphen thingamabob, just 'cause that's how it should be, doggonit!

    Bah, darn my laziness.

    Like Strong Bad from Homestar Runner always says:

    IF IT'S A POSSESSIVE, IT'S ITS! IF IT'S A CONTRACTION, IT'S I T APOSTOPHE S... fool.

  21. Why do we listen to CDs instead of record albums?

    in Music Discussion

    A few more angles to think about onthis subject amtter:

    ~Do you think that by being able to skip tracks, artist feel free to put shiddy tracks on their CDs that they wouldnt have done otherwise?

    ~As for the idea that CDs cna last for years and still soudn good while records cant--just let me say that if you treat a record with proper care it can jsut as long as a cd...

    ~good vinyl will always sound better because it has no form of quantisation and is not limited to a max frequency of 22khz

    ~Also, the argument is void that digitally recorded music should sound better on cd since it is usually recorded at a higher sample rate than 44.1khz and much higher than 16bit.

    ~Last of all, let me ask about albums that were made before CDs were the norm--these were specifically made with the idea in mind that they woudl be played on record players not cd players...so doest converting them to CD take away something?

    Okay, look here:

    #1: Thats a matter of opinion. Also, records could have the ability to skip tracks, it just took skill.

    #2: Like I said, CDs use lasers. Imagine scratching one with a needle... it will skip. Same with with a record, it won't skip, but it will give off white noise.

    #3: I ain't touching that spelling.

    #4: That makes absolutely no sense. With our modern technology, things have higher bits or KHz or whatever.

    #5: Um, not really. Walk into a Hot Topic or Tower and BAM! vinyl. If you love your precious vinyl so much, DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR PHONOGRAPH!

    Well, CDs actually do have better sound quality.

    HOWEVER, the reason being is that instead of being scratched to be played, it uses lasers (which means we probably should have used CDs back in 1943, the same year lasers were invented). When you first buy a record and put it on the phonograph, it sounds REALLY good. After that, it is scratched by a needle, ruining the sounds. With CDs, if you manage to keep them clean, give off the same lovely sound all the time.

    You probably already knew that, I just had to inject this into the conversation.

  24. did the sex pistols kill punk rock?

    in Music Discussion

    I think one of the things that seperated Punk from Rock was that Punk was intentionally taking a pi** on the established Music Industry--punk didnt want their songs on the radio, they didnt want to play to jocks and hipsters in huge arenas, they didnt want 'polished' and slickly produced albums and songs, and because of this the developed a DIY attitude.

    Okay, now THAT is just being stereotypical.
