  1. would you prefer a second thread entitled "i don't care about MJ" or something? it's a comment board first and foremost. you might think it's out of place, but there's no cemetaries, tuxes, or black dresses on this board. it's informal for a reason. his influence - or, rather, his producer's influence - on pop and several other lesser genres is definitely pronounced. his best stuff was when he was younger, imo, but he's still a big name that's passed on in a month of people with big names dying. weird month. i have to admit i didn't realize he was 50, though.
  2. pokemon platinum is sold. i'll send it out tomorrow.
  3. you'll probably be pleasantly surprised, then.
  4. i have no idea. pm a guess. there's no case, fyi. the grandma i bought it from at work left it in the system, and i didn't notice it.
  5. i'll keep an eye open. also, white nintendo ds lite and pokemon platinum for ds. PP is in excellent condition, the ds is a little dirty but still good.
  6. guess who bought a 'OMG 2 SCREENS' today at his place of work for fourteen dollars. and it works! if i don't sell it to make some cash, i'm totally getting ff4 on that system rather than playing on my psp.
  7. i now work at gamecrazy. i might be able to find weird games for modern consoles - no older than gba, xbox, ps2, or some gc stuff. let me know. also, if you want to preorder games, get them through me - it helps me get my numbers for the week i'll even cover shipping charges. i want a ps3, model number CECHA01 or CECHB01. preferably an A01. these are the launch models, backwards compatible through the hardware's Emotion engine. both have four usb ports on the back, and the A has a number of other features like wifi and memory card spots on the back of the chassis. i'd be willing to pay around what you can get for one on ebay.
  8. awww, that wasn't very nice, zircon. i didn't link it or anything!
  9. i've done a little. it's not like playing on a computer, but it's not THAT bad.
  10. probably. what did you need, again? i think we've done this a few times i've got some time next week, early, if you pester me enough and send me a few things i might actually do something.
  11. i recently bought a 1tb external hard drive - complete with fan and flexible interface options - for about 90$, and i just make sure to shut it off when i'm done with it. it's working fantastic.
  12. thanks for the compliments =) well, in a word, no. the main boost from single to dual core is the fact that there's another core - not the number. the os is able to use the other core to allow a smoother experience within the os, but it won't necessarily load both cpus equally because most OSes (xp, at least) aren't written with multithreading in mind. they aren't able to really fully take advantage of the dual-core's power, and in the same way aren't able to take advantage of a quad's latent power. intel vs amd in the audio industry? it's all bullshit. intel's just a better processor, period - it's not specific to audio. compare a 2.5ghz intel to a 2.5ghz amd with similar l2 cache and FSB numbers, and an intel will outperform an amd easily every time, on every possible test. just better architecture - at least for the current generation. even the new phenom x4 is no match for any of the intel quads. i'd expect people would look up compatibilities on their own, particularly for expensive peripherals in terms of graphics, you just want to get something that'll offload the gfx work onto the gpu core rather than the cpu. if you're using a graphics-intensive DAW, or are running a really graphics-heavy visual interface along with everything else (hint hint AERO), then a decent card - at least a green 9600GT or something - would be a good idea. i'd never suggest integrated, as they're designed to take up to 1.5 gigs of ram on their own to handle what their pathetic cores can't do normally - stealing it from the apps that need it. and yes, i do remember =) sound cards can go both way. an internal one can have just as many inputs - if not more - and still have the same snr ratio as an external. the main benefit between them is simply that you don't have to crack open the case for an external, and you can use them on multiple systems without the system BSODs that come with attempting to plug-n-play a pci card (which i found out the hard way, twice). you might not see an issue with streaming samples, but in terms of OS speed, raid 0 vs. a single 7200rpm drive is not even in the same ballpark. it's like 35% improvement with vista and xp if you're using good drives. the sample rate might not improve, but the simple ability of the computer to quickly read and write information back and forth on the drives to handle the OS's multiple background tasks makes for a huge speed increase. as for hardware vs. software, i didn't want to get into it because there's so much out there already. if someone feels good enough about their tech-fu to want to do it, i'd expect they know how to use google. whatever that store owner said, he was full of bullshit. linux, windows, mac, commodore, doesn't matter - 32-bit computers cannot - not even in the BIOS! - read 4096mb of memory. it's structurally impossible. i included info on what they were simply because a buyer might want to know the difference between 4-4-4-8 and 5-5-5-15, and why they were 50% different in price. those leads probably hooked up to the temp sensor until his toddler bashed a toy horse around inside his system. he didn't know what the hell he was talking about. block coolers? you mean like peltier, or phase change? or what? it's basically impossible to install a component from an oil-immersion PC into a normal computer again, because you can never seem to get all the damn oil off...and the same reason makes it hard to add new stuff since it's all full of oil and shit, and you've gotta dive your hands into oil that (when the system's running, at least) can be up to 91 degrees CELSIUS. like, hot enough to take the skin off your hands and give you second-degree burns almost instantly. no, the oil doesn't conduct electricity - there's no ions to conduct it, like in water. if it did, OI wouldn't be possible. and, if i didn't mention, puget systems has a lot of stuff available for that, with all sorts of pretty pictures and graphics that don't make much sense. thanks for reading, man! if i missed anything, let me know.
  13. flstudio's really flexible, and offers a lot of bang for the buck (and free lifetime updates). i'd suggest that, since there's a lot of people here that use it and it's got a lot of flexibility incorperating live recordings. of course, that's just me. edit: best post-forum-template-shift username ever
  14. if fishy is all that's holding this project back, that's a bloody miracle. also, what actually happened to omegadonut? did we ever determine that?
  15. he's offering his services on a hobby that he obviously enjoys, and then you come in and complain that it's a useless hobby. who's in the wrong?
  16. it's awesome to have your own battleship to impress your buds at school. if you're going to be travelling a long distance, though, i understand.
  17. lolwut roderick, thanks for pointing out this awesome mix.
  18. use the search function. dunno if it's in there, but this is where all keyboard sheet music resides that's available on the site.
  19. just type in "canada" for the location and you'll get around 17 pages of them.
  20. if you don't enter a private message recipient, it tells you that your recipient doesn't exist. this is no big deal. however, it's followed by the statement "Click Here to See the Members List" - no punctuation, lots of capitals. i realize this isn't a big deal, but everything else on this site is formatted so pretty it'd be nice, actually, if that link was bolded rather than improperly capitalized. i didn't notice it the first time around. edit: nor for me, abg.
  21. of course, how could i miss someone of such great importance. damn canadians.
