That is the way you describe sound, just because you can't understand the language doesn't make it any more 'fluff' then the ways that are used to describe anything technical.
Dynamics refers to the range or levels of the sound, soft to loud. Impressive dynamics means that you can hear a wide range of sound.
Imaging refers to where the sound appears to come from when you are listening. Ideally you should be able hear where all the instruments are located.
Frequency Extremes refers to the highest and lowest frequencies, which are typically the ones that sound the most distorted with a poor quality system.
most of the respectcopyrights.org site full of FUD, but this quote is outstanding.
If movies make hundreds of millions of dollars, how is my one pirated copy of a film going to have any affect on the bottom line? Actually, only 1 in 10 studio films makes its money back from being shown in US theaters, and only 4 in 10 studio films makes its money back -- ever. *snip*
awww, you are breaking my heart. maybe if hollywood didn't make so many shitty movies this wouldn't happen.
I can't recall any good movie not making its money back and then some. I wonder why that is.
they charge you $20-50 because bands make their living from concerts, only really big name groups actually profit (to any real degree) from CD sales.
bands that are against file sharing are against it because their label tells them they are. file sharing is nothing but a good thing (especially for smaller name bands), it provides much better exposure then radio or MTV (which typically play only a handful of songs at a time). More exposure means more people coming out to their concerts, and more money for the band directly.
There is a gap between the rich and the poor?
Really?
And the rich get more advantages then the poor?
Wow.
This is a choice quote right here:
"It's tough to imagine a more urgent moral issue than the fate of children without access to computers or the Net"
You are not serious right? How about not having enough money for food, shelter, clothes, etc.
I think that might be a bit more pressing to someone then downloading MP3s and Porn.
Think before you write.
Here is another:
"It also revealed children's access to computers and the Net varies wildly with family income. A little more than 22 per cent of children in families with annual incomes of less than $20,000 had access to a home computer, compared with 91 percent of those in families with incomes of more than $75,000."
This just in....rich people can afford more things then poor people!
What a meaningless statistic that was...
And another:
"And they almost never have access to broadband, beyond limited time on school and library computers."
No Broadband is hardly a life threatening issue Katz
Come on Katz, give us a break here.
The system is designed to seperate the rich from the poor...the rich have advantages over the poor because they can afford things...computers are just one more of them.
The real problem is the growing gap between the rich and the poor, plus the fact that the government is starting to care less and less about the lower class. But Hey! Once computers are involved we better help them out!
Bah, I am tired of this,
Go away Katz, you are not a geek, you just play one on TV.
If that was a troll....then troll me up!
Offtopic?
WTF?
I was addressing the above "funny" comment, in which a man who fought to tear his country away from the grip of (mostly US) oppression and restore human rights was being incorrectly portrayed.
Sorry, I don't find that funny...not at all
I realize it was an innocent comment...but that doesn't make it right.
I swear, you moderators must be smoking crack
oh yeah....to make this ontopic...I...uh....want a pony for Christmas
Well, an absolutely horrible ending ruined an otherwise good movie for me.
I mean, what the hell were those captions about?
They felt so tacked on, rushed, and out of place, all I could think about was the "Poochie" Episode of the simpsons...
"Note: Poochie died on the way back to his home planet"
I can think of 10 other ways to end the movie that would have been more satisfying then that crap.
Do yourself a favor, go see the movie, and leave in the last five minutes.

ooooo, take THAT 3DRealms!
Perhaps you need more practice working the internet. I've had none of those problems with Kazza Lite/K++

"English motherfucker, do you speak it?"
but what about the shit that pours out of the stacks on top of coal and oil plants?
don't you think that has an effect on avian population too?
what the hell are you talking about?
both electrodes are on one side of the controller...plus he mentioned that placing an electrode on each side is very dangerous.
I guess the ends justify the means...
i can't speak for other lexmarks, but my little Z11 is still doing fine after about 4 years.
Ink is a bitch to buy though, something like 60$ CA a cartridge.
I used to buy the noname ones for about half the price... until lexmark put a stop to that.
guess what?
i just downloaded opera 7.01 (to replace 6.04)
it took me all of FIVE MINUTES to get my settings the way i like them.
then it saves them FOREVER!
HURRAH!!!
what.
the.
fuck.
?.
"Opera is practically unusable, thanks to its fantastically confusing and inconsistant UI."
Are you high or something? Fuck, just turn off the features you don't want to use, its not that hard.
bottom line: its a small, fast, customizable browser with lots of great features.
moron.
next time someone says "don't assume, you make an ass out of you and me", i'm gonna shove a toothpick in his ear.
who gives a crap if the athlon runs 10deg hotter?
at least he can play something besides warcraft 3 on it.
Instead of complaining about his answers...maybe we should be looking at the questions as the problem.
I thought his answers were quite good considering some of the stupid things he was asked.
Come on, the galaxy quest,SNL skit, parody questions all sucked...no wonder the answers were short.
On the contrary, questions 3 and 10 were good ones, and I thought his answer to them were great too, short but to the point.
Some people don't need or want to ramble on when answering things.
You geeks would die in a pool of your own filth before the week was out.
I think there was at least one all girl team.
From MIT I believe.
I can't remember if the expert was a girl or not.
