Are these two concepts even remotely compatible? In any event, I look forward to seeing this mobile OS from google, and I do hope they don't get too tightly wrapped in all that is evil about mobile phones. Evil? As long as it doesn't explode in my pocket, i'm all for it.
... Now, try to do that with my Deftones CD... (Though, I'm not really that keen on listening to it any longer.) mmm that's cause the Deftones have gone to shit.
No its just the states. I went there recently and cell phone coverage is terrible. I'd say more drop outs are due to the ever increasing saturation of cell phone networks over there.
Folks might also consider patronizing independent artists. Sure, if independent artists ever consider becoming good musicians. Don't get me wrong, there are a few gems out there. But the vast majority of indy artists are crap. That's why they're indy. Thankfully big-label artists produce uniformly fantastic music. I mean, when was the last time you heard a song that wasn't very good on the radio? Oh please tell me my sarcasm detector has just failed.
As an independant artist and slashdotter i take offence to this.
Heard a bad song on the radio???
Britney Spears 50 Cent Spice Girls The Vines Metallica??? (cue the abuse. I don't care, i hate the c*nts)
But what constitutes a "good song" pray tell?
Music comes down to personal preference my friend. A lot of "Indy" bands do not have the money to get top producers and top recording studios to help make their art. But that doesn't take away from the art they have made.
But what about the ones that get recording contracts and Sony BMG pays for everything??
Talent scouts go to gigs and try to find up and coming bands, if they don't find *what they want* they slap a bunch of "pretty people" together and auto-tune the hell out of their voices until it does sounds good.
btw "What they want" is music that will appeal to the biggest consumers of commercial audio CD's around the globe....
You ready?........ drum roll........
It's 14 year old girls.
Case in Point: Back Street Boys.
But hey i could be wrong. Back Street Boys may be the best boy band, nay, the greatest entertainers of all time and i just don't know it yet.
Time will tell.
For the moment you go back to your over-produced, over-rated, commercial infested, HIGHLY compressed mainstreem audio geared toward 14 year old girls radio broadcast./rant
PS: I'm sorry if you actually were being sarcastic.
Wait a minute. They had ads for calculators in the 70's??
Having been born in the early 80's, i gotta say this comes as a shock. What did said calculator do that any other calculators didn't?
To me it's kinda like having a jingle for a fork, or a spoon... course, there are jingles and whole infomercials for knives these days... did they do that way back when? get semi-celebries to carve through a shoe with a knife??
Yep. A 15v DC power transformer should do the trick. Snip the end off, strip some plastic off the ends and seperate the positive and negative. Then place the 2 sets of wires down and in to where you charge the phone (i assume its something like an iPod charger input). Listen for the crackle and pop and terrible, terrible smell and warranty it as "Not powering on"...
I know it sounds like a disgusting practice but you definitely get your phone back.
TIP: don't over do it. Practice on dead motherboards to see how quickly it works.
P.S: Please don't take the moral high ground on this one, we all know how much of a mark up apple but on their products.
You mean that time, after that party, at that guys house, in some place i can't remember how to get back to, there is a chance that i wasnt that chair that i was so sure i was?
Oh goodness me, what am I going to do with all that morphine, fentanyl, diazepam, and ketamine I have under lock and key at my clinic? Damnit!! Why can't my work be fun like yours?!
Making a DirectX only engine is limiting as hell for that prospect (No PS3. No Wii. No MacOS.). * Cringes at the idea of the Nintendo Wii attempting to render the upcoming id title*
Look at OGG vs MP3. I know a lot of you actually use OGG across your entire playlist but the undeniable fact is that MP3 is still the king. It was just there first.
I've developed a way to get a perfect golf drive every time out of the Wiimote.
Sit down in your couch with the Wiimote in your hand just above your shoulder and next to your ear. The IR should point toward the back wall not quite square. Swing the Wiimote STRAIGHT down to your thigh without changing your wrist angle. as long as you don't angle the Wiimote down with your wrist you can pretty much swing as hard as you want and you won't over swing.
Or what? Are you you going to e-fight me? I was just pointing out how truly useless your post was. Don't go calling me an 'asshole' without knowing me in the slightest please.
I was only underlining exactly how unaware *most* Americans seem to be completely and utterly unaware of any culture other than their own.
Here in Australia, thats the big island by itself to the left of New Zealand (you may have to use google maps to find it http://maps.google.com/ ), we often say "K's" as slang or a colloquialism to denote kilometers.
Microsoft have enough bad publicity as it is. They are reserving the right to expire the coupon when they want so that 10 years from now, when they have a new OS out, people aren't still trying to cash in on Vista when they really want you to buy 'Windows - OS-Z'.

Did no one see the flying advertisements in that Futurama episode???

I thought it was funny coming from a guy called 'AssCork'... he might be dealing with his own issues, we should be encouraging him.
...they'll be worth more in 2 years.

Ever seen the Australian 50c coin?

Down here in Australia we have a thing about changing the face of the coin every year for some reason...
..but sticky

Phew. I can cancel the therapist now. Thanks man.
I mean what are they going to do? Sue me?
heh bad joke, sorry
The funny thing being that there actually IS something called OPEC and it has been held in Austria several times.
http://www.eia.doe.gov/cabs/opec.html
It's a summit of the oil exporting countries of the world, IE not the US or Australia.
I guess Bush must of had oil on the brain...
Something about re-usable Listerine isn't all that appealing to me.
Look at OGG vs MP3. I know a lot of you actually use OGG across your entire playlist but the undeniable fact is that MP3 is still the king. It was just there first.

Works for me everytime.

Only an American would fail to see what he was going for with that.
ohh man thats bad taste
