900 | I've been using these: for about three years (on my second pair). Sound quality is good - I have some $100 sets that sound significantly better but for $20 no complaints. Still see them recommended pretty often over at /r/headphones so I don't think anything better has come out since. | Have an upvote. I wore out two pairs of these with some help from my cats (grrr). Comfortable, good sound, don't come off easily. Even snagging the cord they usually only pull partway off and I can reseat them without chasing them on the ground. |
901 | My Palm Pre could do this 3 1/2 years ago... On the phone? Drop the phone app into a card and open the Web. That simple. I really cant believe how amazed people are with Apple. HTC had a device that out performed the initial iPad. They made it in 2001. Ill link proof when i get home. I guess people are sold on Apples fancy commercials and the smooth voice of the narrator. But i digress. In all honesty though, my fucking palm pre could surf and talk 3.5 years ago. You cant argue that. | I think it has to do with the AT&T network. CDMA/EV-DO can't talk and use data at the same time. The wireless data portion shuts down when talking. If you have WiFi on it doesn't make a difference, it'll just switch to that. |
902 | Awesome. Those "scroll to keep reading" ads are horrendous. Once again advertisers overstep the bounds of what is acceptable invasion. Micro payments, where are you? | A tip: As soon as you see one of those scrolling ads creep up, scroll in the opposite direction and it will creep right back down and not return. |
903 | Having Tim back is incredible sound-wise, I always loved his screams and bass lines! Unluckily the album feels really weak imho, but I'm happy that lots of people like it! | Yeah, I'm not in love with the way it was mixed, but I think it's a pretty solid album from a band I had completely lost faith in till they went on that doppelganger tour last year. |
904 | Sean Penn for *Milk*. Mickey Rourke should have won for *The Wrestler*. | Sean Penn should have won for I am Sam over Denzel in Training Day, which was a good movie but the role was pretty standard |
905 | That's a patent that should be opened up like the seat belt. | You never know with Apple. They could go the altruistic route (like they did with the mDP port and things like LLVM) or the closed-off route (like Lightning). |
906 | It's not necessarily this sub, but venture out in the real world and people hate Spike Lee and then try to tell me he isn't good at what he does. He is, in my opinion, a very good director with two exceptional films (Do The Right Thing and Malcolm X) | For every one good movie he gives us, he gives us a ton of mediocre to crap films. Perhaps he is only motivated on some films , while on others he just couldn't give a shit and just needs the mortgage check. Like you said, I've looked a few movies he's made (bamboozled, do the right thing, etc.), but then he does some truly shitty bloated movies and is a douche in real life |
907 | I wouldn't say just fine, lots and lots of QC issues. | Not lots. They're all petty issues with the infotainment system. I'm a consumer reports subscriber. |
908 | I thought Dory was good.. But not as good compared to "Finding Nemo" or the recent "Inside Out". Anyone else? | I think I liked it more than both tbh |
909 | It does, but not a lot of people are using it, hardly any. I was hoping with it being part of Cyanogen Mod it would have more users | It's kind of like the Facebook effect. Most of the people I know hate it and want to leave, but can't / won't because everyone they know is on it and they want to stay connected. No point in having all sorts of secure communication tools when the people you communicate with need to use it also, and don't use them. |
910 | By going a minute over your break time? If you're late, you're late. | Minute over on break time? Stop slacking off. Minute of overtime? That's just what a real job entails, stop complaining. |
911 | Sure he is. Who else would have made a movie as weird as Tusk? | It doesn't seem like it now but so were Clerks and Chasing Amy. Experimental, I mean. |
912 | When you hit 40, let us know what you did with your life and we'll see if it's anywhere close to his accomplishments. | Lol. I'm 40 and quite comfortable with my accomplishments. I've also never been on anyone's list for being a douchebag. |
913 | Fantastic Four (2015) wasn’t great by any means, but it goes from gloomy/grounded to cartoony boss fight. | I actually watched it for the first time out of boredom over the weekend. I spent most of it wondering why people thought it was so damned dreadful... then Dr. Doom showed up and literally everything went from meh-decent, to outright awful. |
914 | I cant even get shazam to know this bad boy | I know! So desperately want to know who composed it. May have to get in touch with someone at the BBC! |
915 | I really wanted to hear what he had to say, but I just can't stand the persona/voice of this type of youtuber. Stop trying to be annoyingly funny and just explain yourself. I'll be extremely glad when that goes out of style. | I liked him. He reminds me a lot of Adam Brody (who I also like) |
916 | Dishonored had some pretty fun teleporting aspects, but I agree. A protagonist being a teleportet would be awesome. | Yeah, Dishonored was really fun when you'd port to a guy, shank him in the neck and then port back into the shadows/rafters. |
917 | Is not all artistic endeavors subject to opinion? If you can't handle a negative opinion, then you're weak. Period. Down vote my comment and prove the point. | Uh... yeah, and your opinion is wrong. It's not that hard of a concept to understand! Necrophagist isn't crap. You may not like it, but that does not mean that it's crap. |
918 | All those feels in Elfen Lied, man. All. those. feels. | What feels? It was just a bloodbath in my opinion, AND WHERE IS THE ADULT SUPERVISION IN THAT HOUSE?! |
919 | Absolutely brilliant, the whole film is the best example to date of 3d cinema I have seen. | eh... it was very well orchestrated, but it was a 3d conversion, not shot natively that way. So there were many little spots where it was a bit gimmicky. Not enough to distract from the movie at all, and not anything I would criticise, it's just a limit of the technology. I was very impressed with the IMAX 3D quality, but for 'best ever' I would have to put the crown on the animated features that were designed around 3D, like How to Train Your Dragon. For live-action I think Peter Jackson's independent parallax camera rigs deliver bigtime. |
920 | I can confirm this. Saw them on Saturday in Johannesburg. Awesomelive act... | How much were tickets? I saw them a month ago in Washington DC and we paid $20 a piece for tickets, but tickets for a show in Brooklyn a few days later selling for $200. |
921 | 98% of artists I like will never, never, ever be within an 8 hour drive of me. Dammit. | Based off my geographical knowledge....but mostly assumption, you live by Bjork? |
922 | I think it's great you want to share those books with your daughter. I bet she will really enjoy them. I think these tips may be helpful for you: | Thanks for the link. I'll give them a try. |
923 | All the androids do know they are androids. They all came from colonised planets where they were exploited, from which they had to fight their way to Earth. So they are definitely aware exactly of what they are and who are out to get them on Earth. | Ok cool, I guess I remembered that concept more clearly in the movie than the book. One difference between the two, for example, is that the exotic dancer character in the movie knows she's caught and tries to run whereas the opera singer in the book tries to turn the tables on Deckard by accusing him of being the one that's a fraud. |
924 | What kind of Kraftwerk is it? Is it the [best Kraftwerk] with Florian unt Ralph? | I so should post that video in a Christmas-related sub |
925 | I really disagree with OSC's religious, political, and other views, but the Ender's Game books are still some of my favorites. | I've always thought that OSC was an odd one - I read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead before I knew about his views and I interpreted them as being pretty liberal for their time. |
926 | I read through all these obvious answers allll the way to the bottom finally to find this gem. I honestly don't know why this is a thing either. It just seems like a really dumb question to even ask. Why does OP listen to the shit they listen to? Let's make a thread about that. Also Beyonce is amazing. She is very talented, beautiful, and inspiring. Has always been consistent. | I just don't really know what value there is in having discussions about opinions. You would really need to get to know someone to understand a lot of potential and personal reasons for their fandom; especially for those who are really big fans. |
927 | I love Alicia Keys. In spite of the fact that her late records are not that good, she's still a great live performer. EDIT: wrong word. | her early records are not that good? Songs in A Minor was amazing. |
928 | And for me, I actually found I enjoyed The Idiot the most. Maybe it's just because it's been quite a few years since I've read Crime and Punishment, but I just remember liking The Idiot a tiny bit more. I can't really compare with the Brothers Karamazov since I've currently only finished part 2. I'm enjoying it so far, but at this point it hasn't really drawn me into it as much as Crime and Punishment or The Idiot did. | I haven't read the idiot yet, but I plan on it. The premise seems to be really fascinating |
929 | So errr.. What happened to "Eat healthy and excercise?". It got replaced by "Eat shit and die?" | I believe the theory is that certain gut bacteria may be causing cravings for salty, sugary, fatty foods, and these pills are meant to change the "distribution" of the many different bacteria residing there. |
930 | Well they also buy up tech companies and never commit to bringing their product into light. | Well Amazon for one likes to keep stuff in house like the robotic warehouse company they bought. A lot of products just aren't ready for consumers and even more are better used in different applications |
931 | I don’t believe I have heard Oh Baby yet. I’m adding it to my list of music for the ride into work | It's the first track off American dream.. The whole album is great |
932 | I've never taken WaPo as a particularly liberal paper. It was all over Romney like he was super awesome during the election, unless I'm horrendously misremembering. | I don't know if you are misremembering or not, but WaPo is considered the liberal paper in DC. Washington Times is considered the conservative paper. |
933 | What would it be about? I played a lot of sonic, I still can't make out a story. | Have you never seen the Sonic tv show from the 90s? What about the animated movie? |
934 | INB4. "Katy Perry's Manager refuses to admit what caused mental distress which has seen the artist take a leave of absence from her tour to recover." | Next: Crazy cat lady living under highway onramp identified as Katy Perry. |
935 | i'm upvoting this simply because you referenced astronautalis and that makes me love you. | I love you too. By the way, he's awesome live. Check him out if you get a chance. |
936 | [His show on 6 Music is good too] (it's UK iPlayer mind...). | Think iPlayer radio might work outside the UK, seeing as BBC radio doesn't require a license fee? You can get all the BBC stations on TuneIn too. |
937 | I'd suggest you start with Section.80, then check out good kid, m.A.A.d. city and then finally to pimp a butterfly | Throw some Overly Dedicated while you are at it, great piece of work as well. |
938 | I wonder if they'll have a Feinstein (how dare the domestic spying program spy on me) moment when this starts to affect them? | they will probably exempt themselves from the consequences just like they did for their healthcare bill lol |
939 | And when my estate needs to be split up, I'd rather my children not be SOL. | If a system relies on "who knows the password" rather than "who is named in a legal will" there's a BIG problem. |
940 | I think there were some scenes involving the twin towers so they had to do a good bit of reshooting iirc | There weren't, no reshooting had to be done. The scenes involving the twin towers were shot only for a teaser trailer and never had a part in the actual film. |
941 | Which is fine, because that's the point of the movie. But calling it one of the best movies of all time is dumb. It's a showpiece. It's CGI is amazing and awesome. But it's not the best movie ever. Is it entertaining and fun? Sure. But not cinematic englithment, | >But calling it one of the best movies of all time is dumb. Who says that? |
942 | He is not helping the star fish gene pool by throwing back the ones that migrate to shore and die. Maybe if he stopped, the ones who stay in the water can thrive and evolve to not have that problem anymore. | It is possible they didn't migrate there. They could be there not of their own volition, i.e. getting washed there by a strong current. Is that a likely explanation? I don't know, I don't know my starfish biology as well as some. But I do know it can be an explanation. |
943 | Thanks for inserting the 33 1/3 series. i had never heard of them before now I have a ton of books I want to read from that series. Any recommendations or one's that were particularly good? | DJ Shadow's Endtroducing is probably my favorite from the series. Rather than having the author doing research and putting it in his own words, it's essentially a 100-page interview transcript from Shadow. It's fascinating to hear about his backstory and the creation of the album in his own words. |
944 | I'm sorry to say that I'm going to make a totally uninformative post, but tell you that I read what's available of the aforementioned book on Google Books and that assured me that I'm going to go very far to get the actual text, and then i'll tell you, ok? | Yeah I read the preview on Google Books too but it ended right before the page with the story I wanted! |
945 | Which will end up in a horrible disaster. Proprietary charging units is not something that should happen if electric cars want to take off with consumers. | Don't agree necessarily. At first you kinda want a competition to see what works best |
946 | How is it that computers can be noticeably slow but still use far less than 100% CPU time and only 50% or so of memory? | To add to the above answer, not only cpu and ram are bottlenecks. Disk access times, network access, graphics drawing, bus speed and so on |
947 | If you know what you are doing, if you know what runs on your PC, if you watch the network traffic and look for any oddities and irregularities (and for good measure you can install something like MBAM, run it and uninstall it every once in a while to make sure) it's extremely likely to get any malware. *Especially* the kind that an AV would help it. And the price and performance sacrifice are not worth it. | >And the price and performance sacrifice are not worth it. Seems like you're stuck in 2007 or so, you hardly notice an AV with modern PCs. |
948 | Actually there's only about 4 minutes of shark footage in Jaws. | Yeah, but they're out on the ocean, they're on boats, the shark isn't seen,but it's still shark stuff |
949 | Don't forget Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! | I thought about making some sort of "Nazi lover" comment, but I couldn't do it with out making Glover himself seem like a Nazi lover. |
950 | >* It hits the home run young actor casting of all-time with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. I disagree with this point. They were both Oscar nominated by the time they were cast in Titanic it's not like they were discovered by Cameron. They're not the Harry Potter trio | True, but they were not well-known by the general public. I completely stand by Kate Winslet being a total unknown to general audiences, and DiCaprio was only known by either teenage girls or hardcore movie fans who would know him for movies like Basketball Diaries or Gilbert Grape. |
951 | Someone needs to ask: where did you come from? Where did you go? | I can only ask: "Where are you going? Where have you been?" |
952 | I hate to be the one to break it to you, but John Lennon died like 35 years ago. I'm pretty sure a person has to be alive to be a leader. Anyway he wasn't a leader when he was alive either. | Dumbass' , thought I'd use some help, got an 88 either way, fuck you all he was an unique leader and after death inspires me to be me and not what society wants. |
953 | Or make big consumer pushes and then just drop support and let it die on the vine. | > drop support and let it just die on the vine. [No pun intended?] |
954 | So in bed would she be screaming out "oh my god!" or "oh my thunder god!"? | There's only one God, /u/Volundarkvioa, and he doesn't dress like that. edit: the /r/atheism brigade is out today eh |
955 | LOVED Jurassic Park. Bought a UK first edition paperback when I was a kid before the film came out, largely because of the pre-release hype around the film. I haven't read it in over 20 years, though. Perhaps I need to pick it up again... | I loved it. I was really disappointed to search in this sub after I finished it and find lots of hate for it. I guess I'm at a stage in life where I read entirely for pleasure and not because I need the novel to be deep and inspirational. That said, from what I gathered by other comments, you'll enjoy it for the nostalgia! |
956 | Then GRRM fucked up. Not the first bad choice he's made. | i think the song was suppose to reinforce what the viewer may have been feeling |
957 | If you aren't satisfied with the streaming content (Spoiler alert: Prime Video sucks) you are only out 9 bucks for the first month. Moreover, poorer people who can't justify a one time expenditure of 100 dollars, may find $9/mo easier to fit into their budget. It's a pricing issue that exists on every level. Think about cars or housing. Financing a car is much more expensive than paying cash. Very few people have +20k to spend on a car, so they get a higher price for being poor. The cost of Rent > Mortgage > Paying up front. Poverty is a near inescapable trap. | The sad thing is that you can cancel Prime for a pro-rated refund, so offering a more expensive monthly option is really just a way to target poor people who can't afford the upfront $99 |
958 | Hi Justin, looks pretty neat! Where did you build it on (programming language, framework etc.)? Do you need help with setting up cronjobs (because you said "Add job to delete links after 24 hours; don’t just rely on check when link is requested")? Are you going to open-source this? Do you need help with creating Android and iOS apps? | The project is built on google's golang with a mysql db for the api and custom rolled javascript on the frontend. The Encryption uses the stanford js library. Thanks for offering help with the cron jobs. I'll actually be writing it into the services layer. Should only be a few lines of code. Yes, the source can be found here: I would love help on the android/ios side. I'm planning to build the apps using gomobile as the domain layer and native ui for both platforms. |
959 | Yes! Magician would be great. But you know what would be better? The Book of The New Sun | > The Book of The New Sun. havent read, perhaps ill check it out :D |
960 | I honestly cannot understand the need for 50,000 new websites that just re-curate content. Make it stand out more. Make it unique. Musicians do it! | we're not done yet :)) but ya gotta start at the start, no? |
961 | I find the windows 10 implementation of multi desktops really poor compared to Ubuntus. Ubuntu was simple to work out. | Well, you'd hope they implement it better by the time it releases in a year. |
962 | Less than people think though. A lot of the added scenes account for things mentioned in LOTR or in Tolkien's letters. | A lot of things from the Silmarillion as well, but there was really no need to include all that stuff, except to line Jackson's pockets. The Hobbit was a complete story on its own. |
963 | Nah, it's understandable. It's a really slow movie, with archaic dialogue that's borderline impossible to understand or even hear at times. Loved it, but it's one of those movies that I get why people wouldn't like it. | Fucking this. We turned it off in frustration N hour in because the dialogue was impossible to hear or understand at points. Probably going to give it another shot with headphones |
964 | I got a BS Johnson that I haven't read yet, the Unfortunates--comes in this little box, it's a series of chapbooks that can be read in any order | I've heard about that, it sounds really interesting. I think the first and last pages/chapters have to be read in order, though. |
965 | People give him so much shit nowadays for Avatar . He's a visionary | Avatar stunk. I understand it was visually/technologically impressive, but...that's not what I watch movies for. The characters & story were secondary for the spectacle, that was the real star. Don't care. |
966 | This is different than a normal stereo recording. It uses only two channels yes, but the sound is mastered with very subtle delay cues between the channels that your brain uses to spatialize sounds in your environment (like it would with your two ears). [This is without a doubt the most pronounced example of the effect. ] | still only sounds left and right to me. when he says "UP AND OVER" it just sounds left to right. etc. There is no physics that will have two speakers on left and right produce sound that is front or back. it's like saying you can perceive the 4th dimension of time if you imagine hard enough. |
967 | Bill Gates is doing a lot more than giving millions. he is giving his own time and actively working on solving problems. And money can't really buy time, he is not wealthier than anybody else in this regard. | Many of you here are richer than Bill Gates, if the resource we are talking is time. Just think of that one for a moment. |
968 | Congrats on finishing your novel, but your post is really more appropriate for a writing-related subreddit. There is a list in the sidebar of r/writinghub. Please read their rules before posting. | Thank you. Still pretty new. After I nap I will work on updating. Thank you again! |
969 | Why? What difference did it make? It was just a big bunch of people getting annoyed to death, rather than a smaller bunch of people getting chased. There was even more ignorant contempt for chaos and nature. With nothing having been ever learned or planned for in 20 years. | I'm just saying a working Dino theme park with civilians was likely a major draw. I don't care to argue why--I'm not even sure I know. I just wanted to see it happen, and I'm assuming many others did as well. |
970 | This is the same impression I got. I loved this book so much. Barry's best work to date, in my opinion. | Better than Jennifer Government? I don't know. That book kicked some pretty serious ass. |
971 | It took me a while to get into as well. But once the story gets going, it really builds momentum. It just takes a little while for your brain to adapt to the writing style. It's now one of my all time favorite books. Midnight's Children by him is up on my list of favorites too. On the other hand, I tried reading The Moor's Last Sigh by him, and gave up because I could never get into it. So...I'd say try to persevere a little longer, it's ultimately worth it. | Thanks, I figured that it might just take some time to get going. I'm excited for what's to come, so I'll keep trekking along. |
972 | That has been replaced with a modern "you have a right to speak your mind only if I agree with what is said; otherwise you are to be silenced". | [I really want to sticky this at the top of this thread, but that wouldn't be appropriate...] |
973 | "Their so-called “electric-flavoring” technology is aimed at ensuring people with low-salt diets, such as those suffering from hypertension, don’t miss out on the many salty pleasures modern cuisine has to offer. In addition, the ability to alter the level of current, thus changing the level of saltiness, could allow diners to individually tune their meals to their preferences. The materials to make the fork cost as little as $18, fork not included. The researchers say that their design can also simulate sour flavors, based on the same mechanism." eh, stumbled upon it, thought it was kinda neat. Edit: Here's a guy trying it: Honestly, I just want to eat broccoli someday and have it taste like fried chicken. One can hope | isn't most of the "taste" you get from smell anyways? |
974 | +1 on penknife. That's a gift that lasts a lifetime and sends the dual message of "this gift requires responsibility and I trust you." A worthy sentiment. | That would be great for a 12 year old boy but 17? |
975 | I agree. My major issues with the film is the poor character development and story structure. I guess they were trying to show Vickers' character had dimension, but it failed. I think this article does a good job in criticizing the movie: | I think every time they tried to show a character had dimension it felt completely out of the blue and unearned, so I had no connection or concern for what the characters were supposedly dealing with. Nooni suddenly remorseful that she can't have children, Vickers suddenly going over her daddy issues, the pilots we've never even met suddenly being stoic heroes, etc.. |
976 | perhaps they should write a letter to their representative letting them know that the bill is hurting them financially. | Easy advice to give when you are not the one being financially harmed. |
977 | Saw them March last year, fucking ace. Only problem was the fact mine got delayed 3 months. Also the new drummers Ringo Starr's son. | That "new" drummer has been their drummer for around 15 years, if not more. I think he's got the gig |
978 | Name of the Rose -Eco. That's the first one that comes to mind...although I don't know how specific your definition of medieval is | Thanks, this looks interesting but I'm looking for more of fantasy to with warriors or related topics, think Game of Thrones or LOTR |
979 | That's extremely interesting. I thought the current range was 10ish miles. How does it fare against non-stationary targets? I imagine the ammunition is a solid chunk of some heavy metal and probably can't be retargeted midflight. | They are working on a self guided round that can do that. Though it's a bit more expensive than the 11 - 22k per round cost of the current system. |
980 | Is anyone familiar with the other version of this video from the Broken movie? It is a good thing if you aren't. That video is something you can't unsee. | I saw it again recently, and I realized the reason you can't unsee it *isn't* because it was so graphic... it's because it relies very much on your imagination of what's happening, since the video is of such (intentionally) poor quality. |
981 | Apple does phones, tv, software, gps, cloud, headphones, headsets, laptops, watch, computers, and is now trying to get into the streaming industry. Huawei on paper may be slightly more involved than Apple but how many of those industries are as successful as what apple dips it’s hands into. | Slightly? I worked in the Mobile Telecom industry. The amount and complexity of hardware produced by Huawei (and any of their competitors) just for the mobile networks goes far beyond Apple's full product range: modems, routers, switches, antennas, probes, servers, base station equipment, network management and provisioning software, etc ... |
982 | isn't every movie a redo of a redo of a redo? | Not Fast and the Furious 5, I've never seen a movie like that before |
983 | For anything too obscure to show up on The Pirate Bay (which in my experience means really really fucking obscure) I just google relentlessly and eventually find a blog somewhere where someone links to megaupload or rapidshare of it or something. | To the best of my knowledge there isn't a single go-to place for "those movies you can't find". |
984 | Airplane mode would obviously be circumvented in a future update if Google or Apple were compromised. The only really effective way to circumvent it would be to remove the code from it in a kernel patch. | >if Google or Apple were compromised. Pretty big if there. If that were to happen the kill switch is the least of your worries. |
985 | Very close to my gym is a charging station. If I had a Tesla I could just park it there, walk a block to the gym, do my thing and come back an hour and a half later. Just 2-3 more years and I can probably buy one! | Now if only you actually had to drive 300 miles to GET to that Gym, then you would actually make use of that 1.5 hours of charging time! |
986 | I wouldn't say just fine, lots and lots of QC issues. | Yup. But nothing that I personally would not have expected from a totally new company without any prior company experience in the field. I for sure would not have bought their earlier versions of the model s, but as for the same reason I would have expected of a new product. |
987 | All those people reading 50 books a year or more I equate them with the gamers who play all day and night | Eh, I've been reading 58 books this year, and in no way is this more than an hour to two a day, either you're reading really slow, or there is something wrong with your time calculation. |
988 | If I may be pedantic, I feel like there should be a distinction between saying the 'animation' is detailed and saying the 'effects' or the 'rendering' are detailed. The animation itself is basically as detailed as its going to be before its rendered. This video is more about how far simulations and other technology has come. | I think the distinction should be made. Simulation and animation are two different things. |
989 | That's the thing that bugs me about jazz, and jazz people in general. If I don't like it, I'm either "ignorant" og "just not listening to it right". There's some jazz I like, and some jazz I don't like. Throughout my life, I've found out I generally tend to dislike jazz-people more than most other enthusiast group. | Your not liking it isn't the problem, it's declaring that so-and-so sucks in jazz, when that would be a extreme minority opinion in the case of Miles. Moreover, it's like you don't get what's important about jazz...the variety, the changes, the evolution. Just comparing trumpet players...Miles is either #1 or #2 of the most important jazz players of the 20th century. There is no Clark Terry or Lee Morgan or Wynton without Miles. Plain as that. You don't have to like it, but if you like jazz, you know why other people like it. |
990 | Any thoughts about adding an accelerometer to the bioglove as way of having a physical input to control vibrato? | Hey that would be pretty cool. Toss it onto the back of the glove and take frequencies from it? Could be neat. |
991 | PNY's did not affect performance at all, whereas Kingston's did. Significantly. | According to the Reddit benchmarks, the performance was nearly the same. However, according to Tweaktowns (Might be a different site, can't remember) re-assessment, the performance actually went down by a bit. Sure it wasn't as bad as Kingston, but it still wasn't identical to the one before. I don't mind a tiny loss of performance though since it honestly will not be noticeable. |
992 | Ugh. Get off your damn blog and FINISH THE NEXT BOOK ALREADY! | he knows he cant so is not going to before he dies |
993 | I absorb the sound through my ears and it makes me cringe. ie: awful. | Ok Your opinion was "awful" got it. glad you have it, thanks for sharing. play again. |
994 | I know how you feel. I cringe whenever I see anyone writing/highlighting in books, even textbooks. Cutting and folding like this makes my soul weep, just little bit. It's pretty, and I appreciate the work that went into it, but it just hurts me. When I was little, I scribbled in one of my books. My mom took one look at it and said, "Oohhhhh nooooo, it's *ruined*!" Then she sadly threw it away. I was a pretty sensitive kid, so this was devastating to me. My mom's intention was just to get me to not scribble in books again. The real result was that I still consider marking in a book to practically be a heinous crime. | My mom was the same way for me and writing in books. It was blasphemous! Maybe it is time to loosen up a bit. :) |
995 | Why the focus on the early teen years? Not that different from the pre-teen years. I was most influenced by albums in my early twenties because music was changing so much. Hendrix - Are you experienced, Bowie -Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders, Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream, Leonard Cohen - Songs from a Room, Big Brother and the Holding Company to name a few. | My pre-teen years were pulling me out of pre-teen pop into rock, which I really responded to once those first awkward teen years started. |
996 | Does AMA, doesn't answer any questions. Nice. Edit: Just noticed how dumb I look. Sorry guys | He said he's coming at 12pm PST to answer questions. Read above. |
997 | The Final Cut is underappreciated. Granted it's not as great as the previous few albums and it's definitely a Waters-only show. | TFC is Roger's first solo album (IMO), just look at the credits. Rick wasn't in the band then and Wright didn't play on all the tracks and Gilmour sounds uninspired. |
998 | I like how Leo most resembles the older costumes and thus least strange, being the (arguably) main turtle, and the others look like botched face reconstructions | Mikey just scares me. I guess they gave him a 'nose' because he is the more comical character of the bunch and he would look too scary if he were to smile, laugh and joke too often. I myself can't connect with him on that level. Gimme Leo or Don; those are at least familiar faces to me. |
999 | Ditto. This book also made me realize what a fantastic author he was, even when there wasn't anything supernatural about he story. I recall one from this book about a guy and his cat that stood out as extremely readable with well developed characters (as much as possible in a short story.) Actually, after having reading this and loving 'The Little Sister's of Eluria', a Dark Tower short, I went back and read the gunslinger and found it very amateurish by comparison. | He wrote The Gunslinger at 19. Amateurish is expected. How great a writer is anybody at 19? |
