Useless for listening, but not useless for DJing, or music production where oversampling really makes a huge difference. Anyway, compression doesn't really have much do do with spending silly amounts of money. I mean, uncompressed audio is less taxing on the CPU because there's no uncompressing to be done. Though more taxing on the memory. And i've done a blind test before. I could tell the difference between 128kbit and 192kbit, but anything over 192kbit sounded the same. Anyway, I prefer ogg vorbis to mp3, it really is a superior codec. I cannot tell the difference between 64kbit vorbis and 320kbit mp3.
What is a "real" musician, according to you?
EDIT: This thread has apparently inspired me. I was messing around in REAPER trying to make a decent progressive house bassline. But then it ended up sounding a little dubsteppy, so I made a nice broken beat with a punchy snare to go along with it.

There is a huge difference between 128kbit mp3 and uncompressed audio. But yeah, most people wouldn't notice. I prefer vinyl. Zero latency.
Transient response is most important. You can have a subwoofer with sensitivity of 100dB/1W/1m, being given a 50W RMS, 0.01%THD signal, but if it's too underdamped or too overdamped, it'll still sound horrible. Hence the importance of the enclosure that said driver is inside of.

Reason : had to add in "/1W/1m" :D
It would be possible to use the position of a few vertices, and then calculate the frontal area based on that. Only like 8 vertices would need to be used.
I'm sure she puts like 5 inches of something else near her face too.
Golls4loffe has a girlfriend? The apocalypse is inevitable.
It may be uncommon, but surely it does happen. A good example would be pop stars that make rap music, like Lil Wayne or something. Sure, he makes rap music, but he's not at all a part of the hip-hop subculture. It's still a fallacy to claim that one must hate rap music if they hate the hip-hop subculture, or vice versa. One does not depend on the other.
That has nothing to do with logic, though. It is a fallacy to say that one must hate cars if they hate engines, or vice versa. A car does not require an engine to be a car. One does not have to be a part of the hip-hop subculture to make rap music. Also, one does not have to make/enjoy rap music to be a part of the hip-hop subculture. For example, graffiti writing is considered part of the hip-hop culture, but has no required connection to rap music.

Why does one have to love cars to love engines? It's entirely possible to love engines, but hate cars.
Not if you apply brakes at the same time (in an FWD)
That's not Hip Hop. That's pop.
But I never said I hate hip hop. I said I hate rap. Anyway, technically you can hate hip hop if you love rap, or vice versa. Isn't it possible to like rap, but not like the culture of hip hop? Or vice versa?

Exactly. The act of sex is not a type of love. But sexual attraction is a type of love. Sex is just a way of displaying one's love, just like holding hands, kissing, etc. Just because one holds another's hand does not mean that they love them, but it can be used to display love.
In fact, I think I know the reason people hold hands when they love each other. You know how when you're a child, your mother grabs your hand while you cross the road so that you don't run off and get run over by an inattentive driver? Well, when you're older, you equate holding hands with someone caring about your well being. So when you hold hands with your gf/bf/signifigant other, you equate that to be mutual affection.
It depends on the sex. If you're having sex solely for physical pleasure, then it's not love. If you're having sex because you feel intensely sexually attracted to someone, then that is, in my opinion, a type of love. Love can mean many different things.
How are you going to aim at someone who's 1m away from you with an assault rifle? Plus, assault rifles are illegal pretty much everywhere.
I don't know why you would buy an ak47. The ak74 really is a better weapon in my opinion. Even though it uses 5.45x39mm ammunition instead of 7.62x39mm, the AK74 has a higher range, muzzle velocity, and rate of fire. Even the AK-74U outperforms the AK47.
Anyway, an assault rifle really shouldn't be used for personal protection. A concealed handgun is better for that. Also, regardless of laws, I don't believe shooting someone who is simply robbing you or assaulting you to be justified. The only way homicide is, in my opinion, justifiable, is when you are in direct, imminent danger of being killed. Better just to have mace and a firearm. Use the mace to defend yourself, but have a firearm on you just in case your attacker is instigated by the mace and pulls out a firearm (they won't be able to aim very well with mace in their eyes).
LFS already has a speedometer, tachometer, and accelerometer. Why do you need the HP/TQ curves when you can see how quickly the vehicle is accelerating?
How is that wrong? So long as no-one is being lied to, I don't see what the problem is.
Life is neither digital or analog. Life is, in my opinion, base 1. There's no on/off state, atoms just exist. Their positions can't be quantized, because the universe is relative. Position of atoms is just relative to other atoms. When an atom moves, it's just moving relative to every other atom. You can't really, in my opinion, create a grid of all the atoms that line up perfectly. Anyway, there's so many divisions of atoms below that. What's the smallest particle? Quarks?
Analog is basically a way of saying "digital with as high precision as nature will allow," I suppose.
I think that digital is only an illusion. There aren't really ones and zeroes in a computer, but rather ranges of voltages used to represent an on/off state. For example, I found a datasheet for an i2c uart (Basically just interfaces two different kinds of serial busses) just as an example. Vdd is the supply voltage to the chip. A high input is defined as 0.7Vdd - 5.5V. Meaning 2.31V-5V for a 3.3V supply voltage. The high and low states are really just logical states given to an analog signal.
Yes it does. Obviously you're sexually attracted to someone if you're having sex with them. (Unless you're a pornstar, then you're just trying to make money) It's definitely a kind of love. There are many different kinds of love. It is possible to love more then one person, obviously. Humans are just greedy though and want to be the only person loved by their significant other.
I think jealous would be a more accurate word than "weird." Don't feel different though, most of society feels the same way as you. I truly don't understand the notion of feeling "weird" just because someone loves the same person I do. What if they loved her before you did? Do you still feel the same way?
