Right, used is definitely the way to go. Lots of used stores around here are much more than $5 CDN and more like $12 USD which is total crap. Many stores sell the both new and used and only offer a slight discount for used cds. However there are a few good places where you can get cds for under $5 USD used that have good selection.
BTW, I'd suggest gemm for that soundgarden ep screaming life/fopp. You can find most anything you're looking for there, not always the lowest prices, but many used vendors and a great resource for hard to find material. Oh also, an interesting note, I buy a lot of my import music from canada although I live in the US (seems to be cheaper!).
And I can get a physical copy with pretty linear notes to go with it.
Thats the main reason I buy albums. First off the sound quality is higher, and second you have a physical copy with lyrics, pictures, etc. After I know I like the music (from downloading it) then I purchase it.
That's the case with Imperial as well.
Try splitting 13 inches into 3 equal segments. (4.33 inches)
In Imperial you don't have 13 inches you have 1'1", which is easily divisible to 4 1/3" by dividing each duodecimal digit by 3. Otherwise you're not using base-12 and lose the benefits. Just like you don't have 0x0G in hex you have 0x10.
A base-12 system makes it simple to do precise math in your head while increasing the number of commonly used factors. Since the introduction of the decimal system and decimal calculators, many people assume using a base-10 system is easier (after all its easier to count to 10 on your fingers). The Imperial base-12 system (and base-60 systems) make common problems simple using fractions and can be done largely in your head. I think people opt for metric because they either suck at fractions or are afraid of them.
Start doing all your math and divisions in your head, keeping all of the precision by using fractions rather than repeating fractions or truncating to a certain number of significant digits and you'll soon find that base-12 and/or base-60 is much better suited for everyday math problems.
Think about the fact that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 12 hours on a clock, 12 months in a year. Base-12 prevents simple repeating fractions because it is in-between 11 and 13, two prime numbers.
Base-12 seems to have a lot more going for it than base-10.
While the sine wave's frequency is known exactly (within the resolution of your sampling frequency) the amplitude is not- you always have loss due to quantization noise. You may be thinking of the fact that the fourier transform will have only one harmonic and thus the quantization noise doesn't come into play.
Consider the signal to quantization noise rate (SQNR):
SQNR (dB) = 20log(Vsignal/Vquantization_noise)
With linear quantization, your quantization is evenly spaced and the noise is 0.5, with a range of -2^(n-1) to +2^(n-1) and a single bit gives roughly 6dB of resolution.
I guess you don't buy any CDs and only buy vinyl since quantization is inherantly lossy, and the sampling rate can only pick up the frequency range of 0 - (fs / 2). Ie, for a CD something like 0 - 22.05KHz.
And if you're only buying 'lossless' music, when listening its most likely being reproduced with higher noise than something 'lossy' like a CD or DAT. Unless of course you have a laser-pickup on your turntable, high SNL, low THD, vacuum-tube amplifiers (to get more natural sounding sub-harmonics) and insanely high impedence circumaural headphones to block outside noise. If thats the case, by all means continue to buy 'lossless music'.
Am I the only one who wants to make it harder for people to take my money? It seems like every day I hear an ad for a new technology or program that makes it "Even easier to pay!"
We have direct deposit, direct withdrawal, speedpass systems, online billpay, etc etc etc. And I know several people in their early twenties who have filed or are currently in the process of filing, for bankruptcy.
Honestly, am I alone in wanting to make it more difficult for someone to take my money? I like making a conscious decision to pay for something. Lately I have stopped using debit/credit cards for daily purchases altogether. I give myself a certain amount of cash to spend during the month and keep it on my person. I can immediately tell how much money I have spent and have left. If I get mugged I can only lose that amount of cash, versus being led to an ATM machine and being forced to withdraw a large amount of money to give to the mugger. This has been happening somewhat frequently in my area recently and across the world at large. In many cases the victim has no way to reclaim the lost money.
Keeping money in a bank prevents it from being stolen from some third party, but it doesn't prevent the bank from stealing your money and holding it hostage. Banks make rediculous amounts of money from fees and charges for just accessing your cash. With almost zero interest on even the high interest checking and savings, it makes me want to get a safe and keep my cash locked away so as to hold onto more of it, or invest it in something that would generate more than the paisley sub-one-percent interest the banks like to give us during a time when interest rates on borrowed funds are fucking lower than ever.
Back to my point, is it seriously that hard to pay for things today? I mean its easy enough for someone to steal your identity, your credit history, your life.
Um, Did you learn math from Ross Perot?
You take 0.99 and subtract the line items:
0.99-(0.70 + 0.20 + 0.10) = -0.01
That mean that the artist OWES someone $0.01 for each song sold.
Apparently you have no experience with high school level accounting and/or have never done your own taxes.
Surrounding a value in parenthesis indicates a negative value or loss. Ie, (0.01) is -0.01.
This is an interesting idea to promote innovation. The winner, wins big. Perhaps big could be small considering the probable cost devoted to winning, of course.
Imagine this taking hold and we could have our next 'innovation race' circa the cold war. No one can argue the cold war did wonders for technology and innovation. However, instead of having an arms race and worrying about another country blowing yours to bits, nuclear winter, fallout, cancer, etc, we can have safe competition between peers.
I think this is something we need. If necessity is the mother of invention, perhaps competition is the father. What better way to promote competition than cold hard cash?
I suppose you re-use your toilet paper until you can't find any white areas on it?
Nice reparte with a play on my shit reference.
You, however, have displayed your depth of thinking. There are many other non-disposable ways to clean yourself (ass included). In many countries a bidet is common. Others use their hands and wash them after cleansing. In others people use a 'dirty cloth' which is washed after use.
I would much rather wipe my arse with a clean cloth (possibly one moist, and one for drying) than a two-ply toilet paper. Two-ply drys you out.. I don't know about you, but I don't need a dry ass.
So are you trying to say that people shouldn't get root canals then? What do you propose people do when their roots get infected?
I was referring to notion that nerves/nerve endings in the teeth/gums are not necessary and that evolution should have removed them.
There are several alternatives to root canals. In reality, your problem could be misdiagnosed. Root canal should be an absolute last resort. You could get the tooth pulled (low-tech alternative), you could also take proper care of your teeth and let them heal themselves. It could be the case that your teeth are too far gone and you must have one-- however, you really should fix the cause of the problem and take this time as an opportunity to fix it at the root (no pun intended). At this point, you should never have another root canal.
Check out this page which directly answers the question about the need for root canals by Dr. Robert O. Nara. That page has a lot of good information, much of it from Dr. Nara, and is a good source of information on oral health. It is run buy a guy who wants to get the information out because he feels it has helped him and his families health but isn't widely available.
Sorry to leave you here, but I also have to go and buy another shower curtain, preferably a disposable one.
Honestly disposable stuff is shit. You should look into getting a quality shower curtain that may cost a couple times more than a disposable one, but will outlast 20 disposables. I hate to ring the bell of sanity here but we are at the same time seeing more and more waste, high gas prices, and disposable non-biodegradeable items. We are tied to the middle-east oil and we need clean sources of energy- at the same time people are buying more and more throw away convenience garbage. "Swiffer" sweepers, pre-wet dusting wipes, paper-towels, and recently I've seen people using disposable cutting boards? I mean honestly, wtf?
When I was in college I decided that I needed to make my money go further. I got a couple small towels to use as a napkin and paper towel for kitchen stuff. And a few dishes which I washed after I used them by hand (the house didn't have a dish washer). I found that living like this was incredibly cost-effective not only in not requiring me to buy more stuff every couple weeks, but it greatly reduced my trash output- and in doing, my trash collection bills. You can use bleach, ammonia, or soap to clean almost anything, and they're a lot cheaper. Who needs windex which is just blue color added to ammonia and alcohol?
I think people these days are driven by maketing of large companies and have forgotten how to do things the 'normal' way, the way of the past, the way that has always worked. Don't let your TV tell you what you need to clean with, what you need to wipe with, what you need to cover your left-overs with, what you need to buy.
You can get along with much less money, and have much better quality. Disposable stuff is generally shit compared to the non-disposable counterpart. Next time you eat a meal use a regular towel/fabric napkin to wipe your face and clean up. It beats paper anyday. Fabric curtains can be cleaned easily (and plastic, really) instead of throwing it away.
I think we as a people of America or the world are losing our oral tradition, we are losing the knowledge of our elders to knowledge of corporate interests. I am not a hippy, I run my own business and I like the enterpreneurial spirit. I have a problem with people who do not think for themselves and follow the status quo. Think about it.
You need to realize that the dental industry (as well as many other healthcare industries) make a lot more money off of problems than clean teeth.
Think of your bank or credit card company. I have a friend who is terrible paying bills, but pays them-- late. He gets more credit card applications in the mail and phone calls than anyone I know. Why? Simple. The money is in the service fees and racking up interest. Your bank is the same way with ISF (insufficient funds) check-bounce fees, etc. They're not going to close your account- they're making a huge return on any investment they give you (a line of credit for ISF).
The point is, like those companies, healthcare providers make much more money on fixing rather than preventing problems. For example, to prevent dental problems one could use an oral irrigator, a good tooth cleansing agent, a harmful-bateria killing solution, and minerals to help in tooth regeneration (remineralization). This in addition to the right information. How much does this cost compared to a bridge? Compared to 10 cavities, 3 root canals over several years? Last I checked the dentist only gave me a toothbrush and floss.
If I could, I'd have all the nerves removed from my teeth. All they do is hurt every time I eat something cold.
Naiveity can be cute. What about subacute bacterial endocarditis (a severe infection of the heart lining)? Heart attack? Oral health as an indicator of overall body health is being proven today (there is a lot of research in this area, for example "...the Surgeon General found that oral health is often an indication of a patient's overall health"). Your nerves (in the teeth, or gums) are an incredibly important indicator. Without them you would live in the comfort of cold-indetection and without cavity notification for a short time but could be ignoring a huge problem. Check out if your teeth are killing you.
What I do object to is not having the source code for the software I use. I for one would sooner forego a computer altogether than have to use closed-source software.
This said in reference to what first 10 programs you install on a closed-source software operating system... Thats interesting. With your stance you should be using GNU/Linux only, on a computer with an opensource BIOS (openbios, etc). Maybe you should only use opensource firmware in your devices as well? Have fun writing your own device drivers and firmware. With those requirements you might not be able to read this so I'm also relaying the message via smoke signals and carrier pigeon.
I keep trying out new versions of 7-zip, but I always wind up ditching it in favor of WinRAR. I've tried everything under the sun, and used to use Powerarchiver until they took a dump on the face of their userbase and went from freeware to shareware.
The problem I have with 7-zip is that its slow, often non-responsive during decompression, and it crashes. The last powerarchiver freeware version (6.2) doesn't support the newer RAR format, or I'd use that.
WinRAR is good software. I don't see the problem with paying (only $29) for a quality piece of software. Especially if the argument is "Use this piece of software because its free not because its good." Then again I love free (as in beer) software and embrace the idea of an opensource multiformat compression utility for windows. I'm just not going to use it until it can actually compete and replace a well-written, quality piece of software.
For the price and for the facillity.
4gig @ 2$ (40gig for 20$) and it can be read almost every where !
35gig on a 20$ with a dedicated propritary drive
Ok so 35002MB (rev disk per spec) / 4480MB (per dvd) = 8 DVD-RWs.
DVD bandwidth is 1350KBps for 1x. At the current maximum of 4x DVD-RW speed, this is 5400KBps.
There's about 4480MB per disc which leads to a time of roughly 15 minutes to burn each disc. 8 x 15 minutes ~= 2 hours. That not counting time to swap discs.
Or, with the Rev, 35002MB / 25MBps ~= 24 minutes.
If you like spending time in front of your backup machine swapping discs, and like to span your backups over several disks to save a few dollars, then DVD-RW is for you. Keep in mind someone has to put all those DVD-RWs back in when you restore from a backup, and DVD read is much slower than the 25MBps of the Rev.
It doesn't make any sense to me. It's sort of like if your girlfriend was murdered, then you'd go and immediately burn all of her possessions and all the photos you had of her.
It doesn't make any sense, but its kinda like what the girlfriend does in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Hardship, trauma, loss, death, etc are all difficult to deal with but ultimately are character building. There is good in the bad as well as opportunity for change and growth.
Gmail was a fantastic April Fools Day joke. They convinced a lot of people that it wasn't for real by making the press release on April 1st, but then it turned out to be true. Genius.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world it didn't exist.

"Real took notice and convinced the show to switch back, by addressing various listener complaints about their player (many of which were fixed in RealPlayer 10)."
It appears they haven't fixed my #1 complaint, which I'd title 'worst interface in the world'. And I'd qualify that with 'most bloated, ugly, nonresponsive, huge, non-intuitive' not to mention 'works like no other software i use'. And I mean that last part in a bad way.
Whifflesnoofer, thats awesome. Reminds me of all the words we associate with older people like whippersnapper. I wonder if perhaps over time it evolved..
wifflesnoofer -> snoofer -> snoof -> snarf
?
And for some reason to me, a bicycle-seat-sniffer seems to be much more deviant than a webcam-voyeur. Or maybe we as a generation are just more deviant but only online...
Holy mother of moses I can't believe it! Where did your dad grow up..? I always wondered if my dad's definitions were just his eccentricity, but now that you say your dad has the same (or at least very similar) definitions you've got me interested:)
I hope I'm not the only one here who has gone through life with the definition of a snarf (as explained to me by my father) as:
"one who goes around sniffing girls bicycle seats after they've ridden them on a hot day"
Similarly, he had variations such as snarfcicle (on a cold day), snarfbucket (saves the sweat from the seats in buckets), etc... not to mention my personal favorite word he defined, a queebie:
"one who farts in the bathtub and bites the bubbles"
I was young when he told me these definitions so it was awkward when I used them in colloquial intercourse and had to define them every time.
