Actually, parent should have been modded as insightful!... even thought it is true that toto's music is a good laugh. btw, their videos can be pretty funny too.
the irony of the irony is that as MUSICIANS toto were the creme de la creme in terms of rock/pop musicians of the late 70s early 80s. as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto_(band) put it :
"Toto is a Grammy Award winning American rock band founded in 1976[1] by some of the most popular and experienced session musicians of the era."
and
"Described by Eddie Van Halen as "collectively the best musicians on the planet" [2], the band is known for their technical prowess in the studio, as well as a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, and jazz.."
hell, some of them were session musicians for the session musicians of steely dan. uber musos band of the 70s!
If you need ridiculous fantasy like that to justify the right to bear arms, one more reason to remove it or at least put hard line control over it. nutcases should not have access to arms that can so easily kill fellow citizens.
a firearm is a fireamrs. it is a weapon to kill and endanger your fellow citizens. it has no place in a civilized society but in the hands of the authority. the authority put in place by democratic institution and principles that (almost) all of society abide. A consensus that was not found in 1776 or in the early years.
the rebellion fantasy is so out of touch with reality that even today when your government openly lied to you (Irak) on the most dangerous issue of all (war) and spy on its own citizen, no rebellion is even close to be fomenting. the closest would be an impeachment yet that's not even close to be happening.
the whole thing about the right to bear arms for revolt purposes is plain old stupid. i can't believe anybody truly think that having a gun in there house is actually a protection against government abuse in 2008. this isn't the 19th century! Firearms ain't gonna do no good against cruise missiles and an army with a trillion dollar budget.
the right to bear arms is only there to satisfy american's with big phallic obsession... or irony of irony "protect" themselves against the other neighbor bearing arms.
this right to bear arm is almost as anachronistic as the "in God we Trust" on the dollar bill. time to move on...
cause where have you been over the last ten years? the general consensus in the car industry, and your local trusted mechanic will be able to tell you this, is that GM is using 10 years old technology built with 30 years old method. while honda/toyota/mazda has latest technology into their engines built with the highest quality control of the industry. 4 banger honda engine? all the way! just look where the ford/chrysler/GM lot are today. what was in the news just a couple of hours ago? yeah, record losses from GM...
excellent. well said.
bush does represent the American people and abroad he certainly speaks for the US of A. that you like it or not. believing in democracy means understanding that and accepting it.
but in all fairness, there's a large amount of subtle differences between representing 4 people vs 300 million i'm sure you can grasp and understand.
He works for U2. he is paid by U2. He voices the opinion shared by U2 and its 4 members. period. fuck U2.
have they wrote at least one decent songs wince 1987? wait.. that's more then 20 years ago. RnR is a young men's job. they shoulda pack it in a while back. way back...
anyway.. you just said one thing then kinda back handed stated the opposite. can't have it both ways...
why is it easy to understand there's no such thing as a "big programmer" and that its the same as "god" whatever you name it? just like you first intended your intial reply.
do you think god really care if you beleive or not in him? unless you mean a go'alud... then.. yes.. they do care.. but THAT'S a virtual reality.
Sony have been "sugar" powered for years. How do you think all those execs get that idea that they are "top of the world" and got the "best products of all time ever" ideas?... and all those ideas that we'll screw them customers with our proprietary products and they won't notice, they'll beg for more. MORE! **throw face in bag**
tv is mighty compressed but movies, from DVD and especially European or none-holywood movies are the opposite. They have a wide dynamic range (volume range same thing). getting a compressor would definitely help for someone living in an apartment.
the only set back is that you'll only be able to listen in stereo. 5.1 surround compressor prices are prohibitive and i'm not sure they make some for consumer market. i suggested dbx or symetrix used stereo compressors, but really, a brand new berhinger would certainly do the job.
$100 budget and you're good to go. a used berghinger will go for even less. it all depend on the "audiophile" level you're on.
The solution for tv or home theater situation is to add a compressor unit in the signal chain.
A used dbx or symetrix would do nicely.
if you know your way around a dynamic compressor (Plenty of reading material online) you'll be able to only compress (go rms instead of peak) the adverts.
depending on the settings, you might lose out some dynamic range in the movies and tv shows but these have already been compressed before broadcast at studio level AND master control; meaning you can't really squash more what has been squashed already. however, by "limiting" the signal you'll be lowering the "volume" of the adverts.
you could also get a compressor equipped with an "expander". this feature is kinda trickier to use but can bring back some dynamic range to your audio signal.
