Wow, that's awesome. That, and I won't be out of college for a few years, but I should be speaking pretty fluent japanese by then, so that would be a great opportuinity. I had no idea something like that existed. Awesome.
Ok. Thank you for being patient with me and explaining that. Your explinations made the most sense. You'd make a great teacher, I think, if you aren't one already - you can stand with explaining things over and over until people finally get it.
Ignorance and stupidity are two different things. Thinking they're the same is, well, stupid.
And I guess that highschool I went to was just bullshitting me with their 'highly ranked' stuff, because we didn't have an electronics class. It also wasn't in Korea.
But if the output of the iPod stays the same, it takes the same amount of battery power wether or not they're senheisers or the earbuds, right? I know it takes more volume to make higher impedance headphones louder, but they don't just draw more power on their own, right?
So. I don't care about sound output. If one set of headphones has 8 ohms impedance, and one has 32 ohms, will the 8 ohm one drain more power from the battery - negating all other variables like the volume setting on the ipod or final sound output?
I think I got it - so the impedance of the headphones affects how much current is drawn because the headphones need an electric currect to be powered? So, I should get more battery life out of my expensive 16 OHm headphones as opposed to the 8 Ohm earbuds that came with the iPod, provided I use the same volume?
However, does this mean the volume level would change? Are the higher impedance heaphones going to be softer (theoretically) because they're drawing less power?
So, in other words, at 75% volume it'll affect the battery the same way with either earbuds or a set of speakers - it's the difference in the volume the speakers produce. So, again, when all we're measuring is battery power, the headphones don't matter. Right?
Good point. Also, I bet the iTrip sucks battery life from the iPod as well, thus making it even lower. But, if you're using the iTrip, why wouldn't you have the car power adapter or use the car's own amplifier in the sound system?

Roguelikes in general are really quite amazing. I prefer Angband, but we've all got our tastes.
For an absolutely amazing game series, try Geneforge. Low on graphics, but includes almost non-linear gameplay in an incredible RPG. Best of all (I think) they give you a HUGE demo to play around in - the first quarter of the game or so, maybe a bit less. And, there's 13+ endings in each of the games, so you keep coming back for more. Completly awesome games.
Then change the name. You're no longer loading, you're "loaderizing". Or "Getting the stuff to make the game work, hang on." Or "Zinging the files into memory". Or "Dancing Like A Monkey". It doesn't have to have anything to do with loading. Just tell the gamer to wait, he will. And, with these new names, put in a mini-game!
You're referring to extremism. Extremism is the problem here. They're still not the same thing. Heat and Cold will both kill you, but they're hardly the same thing. They'll kill you in different ways, and in small amounts help you stay alive.
And before communism it was the Japs. And before the Japs it was the Germans. And before that it was the Niggers. Actually, they're all somewhat interchangable and overlapping. People will always come up with some new scapegote to hate.
On a scale of 1 to fascism:
1. communism 2. Democratic Socialist 3. liberal 4. Moderate 5. conservative 7. fascism
See how they're exactly the opposite on the spectrum?
Bye Karma? You have any idea how many of my friends refuse to read slashdot on a regular basis because it's so "liberal"? Mind you, these friends are the ultraconservative type...

Truly, you have dizzying intellect. Or perhaps you missed the point of my post.

... with earbuds attached
Why would the type of headphones attached change the drain on the battery?
Ubi Fights Back. That interesting enough?
Nope, that means nothing. But This does

XBox 360? I'm keeping my eye more on the PS3. Let us not forget the Sony Marketing Machine so quickly.
So, logic dictates that if we keep trying things, eventually we'll strike the killing blow by accident.
My bet's on the dog.
I used the wrong word. I should have used a word that more ment "The target for hate."

Your post just made me realise something amazing. America was founded on terrorism, from a certain point of view.
Al Capone was convicted for Tax Evasion laws. That doesn't seem to far from a real possiblilty.
I think my favorite anti-marijuana slogan ever was "If you smoke pot, you'll be addicted to heroin!"
Anyone remember "I'm red hot jack! Let's go!"?
