Except that all the really good music was written by the bands. Queen wrote their own shit. ZZ Top. Aerosmith. Scorpions (I don't like Scorpions personally, but yeah... okay, they're good). Sonata Arctica. Iron Maiden. Johann Sebastian Bach. Greenday. Lard.
You do realize you are comparing rock/metal groups ('cept for Greenday) with pop music, right?
Pretty much all good music is rock/metal, thats why he used those examples.
Very few pop artists actually write their own music, even fewer can sing. All of the very, very rare exceptions I can think of are Latin and I think this is derived from the fact they had to start out as street performers (pretty much like rock bands doing backyard gigs).
Nine people wrote Baby for Justin Beiber, it took 17 for "imma be" for the black eyed peas, How many did it take for Bohemian Rhapsody? Just one (Freddy Mercury). Which one do you think we'll still listen to in another 20 years. Yes I know that Bohemian rhapsody is nearly 40 years old, this is my point, how many people under 25 know who sung "the loco-motion" without googling it? and that was hardly an obscure song/artist. Pop music is mass produced and expires quickly.
You don't represent a big market though. For a lot of people it is not important.
This. A lot of people wont ever use 8GB on their phone, even more simply manage their data.
I'm considering an 8GB Nexus 5 to replace my 16GB Galaxy Nexus which sits at 75% or more empty.
An SD card slot is nice, but thanks to some of the patents used by MicroSD (namely the FAT patents) Google cant include it without being threatened by/.'s public enemy #1.
Motorcycle helmets actually offer good protection, while bicycle helmets don't. For any impact over about 10 mph, they are not going to signifcantly reduce the peak accelerations your brain experiences (it's your brain sloshing that does the damage). I guess they can prevent lacerations, but that's about it. Helmet advocates always quote a study from the 1980s (funded by helmet manufacturers) that showed an 84% reduction in brain injuries, but other work has not borne this out. (example)
You need to do some real research.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_helmet#Effectiveness
Its referenced. There have been many studies since the 1980's that have demonstrated the same results.
Helmets are quite effective at reducing or stopping brain injury completely. The big problem is that a helmet is good for one impact only, this is true for motorcycle helmets as well. As with most car problems, bike problems come from people not taking care of their equipment.
As an additional point, helmet laws are actually terrible for cycling safety. After Australia made helmets mandatory, cycling went down 1/3 overnight..
Head injuries decreased by over 50% and have stayed down despite cycling becoming more popular over the years.
Australia is a case study about how effective mandatory helmet laws are at reducing cyclist injuries. I was a kid when this law was introduced, it didn't really affect anyone who really wanted to ride a bike.
A no helmet trial was conducted in Canberra in 2009, cyclist injuries shot up 150% in a single month.
Has definitive answers to how and why Cyclists get hurt.
I have an older version, but effectively the injury/death rate is mostly effected by poor decisions by the cyclist, not the car. Getting hit from behind by a car was 2% of injuries (but a major cause of death) while getting hit by the asshole riding against traffic was 33%.
This,
I see a lot of stupid actions by cyclists on the road. So much so all I can say to most cyclists is try not to scrape the bumper as you go under. They pull out without warning, ride to the right (erm, outside lane is on the left in Australia) and I've even seen some lane spitting (riding between the lanes). These people are basically organ donors in Lycra.
They seem to have no sense of self preservation. I'm happy to share the road but cyclists need to respect the fact that cars cant stop instantly and if they get hit they will be the one getting killed. However if you try to explain this to a cyclist they get arrogant and argumentative and believe that it's their "right" to ride on the road, cyclists in my experience beleive they own the road and aren't happy to share it with motorists. We need more rules for cyclists, they should have to ride in the outside lane (and do hook turns) and if a cyclist is holding up traffic (I.E. if the roads are so congested that passing a cyclist is impossible) they should have to get off the road. We'll continue to see more cycling deaths on the road until some proper rules are put in place and enforced.
Similar to the carputer, I put together a mount for a Nexus 10 tablet in the dash of my car, and I use an AT&T MiFi Liberate for data access on the go. You just have to resist the urge to touch that beautiful 10" screen while you are in motion.
I'm sure there is already half a dozen applications for that on Google Play.
Seriously, I dont see the need for a "carputer". I'd rather spend the extra cash on a better sound system and just have a fairly basic head unit. Keeping the AC/mirror/whatever controls seperate means that if the CD player breaks I can still use the cooling system.
I have kept an old 10" tablet in my car connected to the OBDII via Bluetooth. I just set it to log a trip and shove it into the glove box (you have to if you're on a track, no loose items in the car) but I dont really need these kind of statistics when driving normally.
15+ hour flights to get to a destination is now a freaking nightmare. No wonder first class on those flights cost 5 figures.
PROTIP: If you're flying that far, dont fly on an American airline. If you're flying east from the US, choose a European or better yet, a Middle eastern airline like Emirates (they're highly recommended for good reasons) if you're flying west from the US choose an Asian airline like Singapore, Malaysian or Cathay Pacific, even QANTAS offers a good long haul service although their destinations from the US are pretty limited. Non-US airlines are usually priced fairly competitively.
My last vacation I took the train (Amtrak Autotrain, Lorton VA to Sanford FL) it was a wonderful experience. Excellent service and food on the southbound trip. Northbound was...okay - I would say very good, except that the southbound trip crew was awesome.
That said, even the "okay" service on the northbound trip was FAR better than any airline experience I have ever had- even when I've flown first class.
The US is a world apart from Asia and Europe. In Asia in particular, security is fast in many places, no full body scanners, full service airlines have free food, drink and booze.
I went from Sydney to LAX yesterday, stepping of a QANTAS flight and moving through onto a US airline was bedlam. Absolute pandemonium. It doesn't help that LAX's signage can only be described as fucking awful. Lines were terrible, having to remove my belt and shoes (which I've never had to do at any other airport ever before) was an utter pain in the arse (because when the belt comes off, my comfy flying slacks come down) and the TSA's directions were less than stellar. The TSA has convinced me that it's better to fly in track pants and flip flops.
Seriously, if you want to enjoy air travel, fly a decent airline like Singapore, Malaysian or even QANTAS. Going to an Asian international hub like Singapore Changi or KLIA (Kuala Lumpur) is like going back in time to when air travel was actually fun. QANTAS have self service snack/drink bars where you can get all the pretzels and soda you want, 3 meal services on a 13 hour flight and if you would like a beer, just ask one of the flight attendants.
The seats don't recline to make much of a difference for sleep. If you can sleep reclined, you can sleep upright. I would also argue that at your height, you have no idea what it means to have a seat reclined into your lap. Once you hit the critical limit of 190 and over, your knees physically touch the seat in front of you, even if both are upright. Someone reclining their seat can result in a very sudden impact on your kneecaps. So I do appreciate it when people at least carefully recline their seat and don't kneecap me.
Reclining is actually worse for your back. If you get lower back pain during flights (I do) what you need to do is arch forward every 30 or so minutes. This stretches the muscles that are being compacted as you lean back. Basically what you do is put your elbows on the tray table and lean forward until you can clasp your hands behind your neck. Reclining is bad because you compress that set of muscles even further. I dis a 13 hour flight from Sydney to LA yesterday. Back was fine, didn't get any sleep (I never do on planes) but my back was fine.
As for reclining, common fucking courtesy says you should ask the person behind your before doing it as you'll be going into their space. Most of the time you'll reach an agreement if you're polite. Just beware about declaring war on the person behind you, you've got exactly one weapon, you can use once, they have the rest of the flight to piss you off.
without pushing the seatback back (which I never like doing if there is someone behind me, I think airlines should remove that option)
Why? If the person in front of me in a flight pushes their seat back, then it moves the bottom forward very slightly, so I get about half a centimeter of knee room, and it moves the (small) screen of the in-flight entertainment system closer to my eyes. The seats are designed not to be made more uncomfortable when the person in front of you leans back...
Actually, most airplane seats don't do this.
QANTAS seats on the A380 are the only ones I've seen that do. The bottom of the seat slides forward as does the bottom of the back. the top only ends up about 10 CM past an fully upright seat, at roughly nipple height they're level. No doubt that recliners hate this because it doesn't steal space from the person behind them.
A few years back Cathay Pacific replaced their economy seats with ones that reclined forwards, recliners complained so much about this they're phasing the old seats back in. This is why I believe recliners aren't trying to make themselves more comfortable, rather they're trying to make others less comfortable.
Now, I am not trolling, but can some one tell me what innovation haas come from the USA in recent years? It all seems to come from countries afar!
Search Engines?
The US's huge technological power came not from Americans, but the ability to attract the worlds best engineers, scientists and technicians from around the globe regardless of their nationality. The US has let this attraction slide and other nations have capitalised on it.
Of course the US claiming the Iphone is "innovative" makes some of the more backward nations look good.
That old furphy about the cops being "unarmed" again...
The bobbies on the beat may not actually carry firearms on patrol, but they can go from zero to Rambo in a split second. The only places I've seen so many cops with machine guns was 1) in Korea near the DMZ, and 2) London immediately after the 7/7 terrorist attacks.
I imagine British airports are a lot like Australian airports.
The rank and file customs officers aren't heavily armed, but I once witnessed a takedown in an Australian airport, Armoured AFP officers came out of hidden doorways with MP5's. Police at airports dont fuck around.
BTW, traffic cops in Phnom Pehn in Cambodia carry M4's. That area of SE Asia still has a crapload of cheap firearms, A semi-auto pistol (Chinese made Colt 1911 copy) can be bought for $20. Thailand is the same, coincidentally Thailand has a very high death by firearm rate and no active revolutions (unlike Colombia).
So if a strange man car-jacks me, I shouldn't shoot him because he probably only wants a ride to the airport and definitely doesn't want to murder me and dump me on a back country road, so I should just cooperate?
You shouldn't shoot him because you dont have your gun ready and if you've got a gun, so does he and he's already got it pointed at your head.
If it's trivial for you to get a gun, it's trivial for a crim and they'll always get the jump on you.
Realistically in a car jacking, you should just get out. The crim wants the car, not you.
It's like saying, "Insider at Phillip Morris reveals that cigarettes are really bad for you and the company knew it all along!"
p.
Had the headline been "Snowden reveals what button to push to make the NSA cease to exist" I would have gotten a lot more interested.
I get the gist of what you're saying but its more like an insider at Phillip Morris saying "Not only did we know cigarettes were addictive and caused cancer, we put in even more carcinogens".
The bit where the Chinese are IMHO wrong is that it will need any sort of centralised planning to achieve this replacement of the U.S. as hub of the global economy. That will just happen, inevitably.
Except the new hub will go to somewhere like London, Brussels or even Singapore. Delhi/Mumbai has an outside chance. Pretty much anywhere but China. Beijing simply doesn't have the trust from global businesses, of course they're all happy to take Chinese money, just not Chinese politics/philosophy. Maybe they'll go nowhere, the worlds economies are sufficiently distributed and communication is sufficiently fast that there isn't really a need to centralise it in a single location. Something happens in Bangkok, 30 seconds later Paris, Dubai, Vancouver and Adelaide know all about it.
The US is acting a lot like England of the 1960's and 70's. A waning empire still trying to convince itself of it's importance by talking about the good old days. The really bad part is, unless you change the road you're on you've got your own version of Thacherism to come.
the creation of a new international reserve currency to replace the present reliance on U.S. dollars
Wow! Didn't see that coming, how about everyone else in the world??
OMGoshness, US debt crisis constructed by US officials.. quickly! Hand power over to the UN, they can be the martial law for the whole world AND control all of the money. Anyone who thinks that this wasn't contrived is kidding themselves.

See previous story: "Bizarrely, when he asked Facebook why they don't also threaten Ad-Block, the Facebook rep claimed to have never heard of it."
Adblock also doesn't work very well on facebook. It cant tell the difference between user content and Facebook's paid for content.
Users expect
Users dont know what to expect, they dont know what they want either and will complain bitterly about what they've got.
There is no reason for Facebook to be different.
Facebook is not a forum.
They've been heading for twitterfication for a while, it's fairly obvious Facebook does not want long conversations where line breaks are necessary.

My first world problem is having to listen to people think they are being deep by dismissing problems by declaring the "First World Problems".
However this does not apply here.
This really is a first world problem. Oh Noes, my expensive PS3 USB headset wont work on a PS4. Heavens what shall I do, we're dooooomed.
Not as if Sony doesn't have a history of dick moves like this. I feel exactly zero sympathy towards these people.
Exactly. The criminals don't need to carry guns because the police don't have them.
You have that backwards.
The police dont carry guns because the criminals dont have them.
People like you are the problem.
You label anything you dont like as "terrorism" then you use sensationalism media reports to justify this claim.
Anyone who lived through the Troubles is laughing at your claims. That's not terror.
You clearly dont live in the UK if you think they're living in fear or if any of these events are terrorism.

I own Apple shares. So in a small way, I already benefit from this practice.
But as a member of the society that Apple is evading tax in, you suffer for it in a big way.
you must have a shit letterbox. I've worked as a postie and know 99% of damage happens trying to fit mail in shitty letterboxes
My postie doesn't even know what a letter box is, he just hurls it at the door from the window of his van.
Also, if the postie cant figure out that package A is too big for slot B, it really is their fault.
Drone Posties, nice idea (since letterboxes rarely move).
Look, they could launch my deliveries at my home with a medieval trebuchet and still manage to deliver them with less damage than the current postie.
