Maybe you just didn't support your arguments well and didn't mention about the incidents when it did.

I'm planning on buying high end headphones (by high end I mean about $200...if necessary, basically I want these to be last pair I'll need to own for the next 10 years), and I'd like some buyer tips. I'm thinking around ear would be the best, since that would offer the best noise isolation, right? (What are pros and cons of around ear, on ear, and in ear?) Also, I'm considering getting one with noise isolation so I can listen to my music comfortably in a car, or more likely, in a crowded room. How does one differenciate between noise isolation providers (or do you?)?

And I don't want headphones that end up amplifying the bass sound unproportionally, because that drowns out the other sounds, especially with metal or bassheavy music. Also, they should be decent when listening to audiobooks.

And what are headphone amps? I read that they should be used if you're listening with your ipod or CD player or from your computer. How much do they help and what's a good one of these?

For many, christmas is not a time for joy and cheer, but obligation. Not everybody can afford the money christmas demands on them, and for them to have to use that money to purchase goods that people might not even appreciate instead of using it more wisely for their own benefit (like bolstering or creating a savings account) is rather disconcerting.

That's why I burn CD's for everyone!

Wesołych Świąt!



(chews on kielbasa)

you're so dumb I feel like I'm getting stupider by reading your post.

first off is this belief you've created that going to a private institution to guarantee a better education is reality. I mean, I didn't think anyone fucking believed this. George W. Bush went to Yale, does this not tell you that maybe it isn't because he wanted...the best education? maybe status has something to do with it? then you've got some dichotomy of private vs community. did you forget the majority of colleges are neither? and that some of the finest minds ever come out of and teach at state universities?

and yeah he's gonna diss you for assuming your parents pay for your education always. many many people do not get the benefit you (I'm assuming) and I had (and I still had to apply for a lot of scholarships, grants, and workstudy programs)! he didn't "put down" anyone, he said there's a group of people who don't get the same benefit. you took that as free reign to come in here and bloviate about how you just "gave a shit" and therefore went to a private school because you could afford paying a good year's salary every semester to pay for a set of new lawn jockeys on the campus.

here's the best part; you wasted your time. you do not get a better education coming out of undergrad from anywhere. its almost all the same. a private high school will teach you more. but you'll be marginally above a community college student and indistinguishable from a public university student with regards to how much you've learned. the benefit, aside from the status, is how it looks for graduate schools and degrees. and that's where the fancy professors go and teach. your university may have a rep of creating the finest engineers in the world but it's the teacher's aide getting paid 8.50 an hour who actually gives you the lecture, they save the real teachers for the real students.

lastly the tuition is just to keep the poorer kids out, not to sustain the university. the private universities live on donations, and they want only richer kids with richer parents to become richer alumni who will pay out the ass for a new library when their own rich kid comes up for undergrad.

How is it not fact that community colleges are worse than real colleges? State colleges are a good point, and I don't know why I forgot to differenciate, but state colleges are still like 10 grand a year for tuition, which is considerably more than community colleges. The problem still is that if you can't afford a state school then community colleges are a shitty alternative. I mean, going down from a private to a state college with minimal loss in quality isn't a bad step so yeah my bad for not pointing out that part.

The guy used the word "delusional" to describe the community in which the other guy grew up in. Yeah I get where I over reacted to the statement, since he did say that not EVERYONE gets aid from their parents, but I felt that he implied more....as if it is dumb to try to get a good education....though I hate status stuff too and I guess that is why people go to IVYs, but not every college has status attached to it. And I also got aid worth I think about half my tuition I'm not exactly sure but it brings it to about the same as NJ state school tuition. But ROOM AND BOARD fucking mad expensive.

Wait so going to private high school makes you even with a public uni student? That sounds like a good deal! Can't wait to see where you rank private colleges....assuming that's a typo though, I get your point. I jumped the gun a bit, but it pissed me off to see someone dissing someone for being able to go to a good college.

Are you a delusional upper-middle-class suburban kid because nearly everyone I know pays for their own schooling and has to work really hard to stay afloat

Now what the fuck does this mean? You know you're putting down every single student who actually gives a shit about their education enough to try to go to a private school rather than a community college because....i don't know....maybe the education there is just better?!? And of course its fucking expensive, which is why we need our parents to chip in the majority. It seems that there's a vicous cycle present because those who can afford to go to expensive colleges have an advantage in that they actually have the money available. And it sucks that the majority of people our age either go to shitty colleges where neither students nor teachers care or don't go at all, but thanks for insulting those who got a decent hand dealt to them by upper-middle-class suburban living situations.

ps: And yes it is incredibly expensive to go to private colleges, ridiculously so, but (I'd like to think that) the money goes towards improving the school and making it worth attending. Cheaper tuition = less resources commonly.

viewpoint

man i write all my papers the night before they're due. in high school I'd start them at midnight. freshman year I would start around 2am. now this year I'm not starting till 4. and that's the way the cookie crumbles....

yeah dude ipods are the best, also i'm pretty sure there's some program out there which is ipod compatible and which can be used instead of itunes, not sure what it is though.

You think you can win?
A tired old dinosaur like you; who joined in 2002
Your fossils belong in the mud
You can't compete with this new blood.

I'm bringing change to this ol' game
you're just promising more of the same
It won't cut it no more, the by the book rhymes
You're going to have do better and adjust with the times!

You occasionally impress me with your so called thunder
But just like Tommy Tutone you're a one hit wonder
The rest of the time bro I'm just groanin'
And like an idolater you're in for a stonin'

You're the warts under the Phantom of the opera's mask, all bloody and peeling like a fish being scaled, cooked, and served while still alive to eager young patrons like they do in East Asian countries.

As a self-proclaimed Socrates you know full well the metaphor of the cave
well crawl back inside because you've just been gutted at the nave!

Like Abraham Lincoln I can't be called a liar,
I said you'd burn and you did, just like the Great Chicago Fire.
The lanturn may have been knocked over by a cattle,
but needless to say I've won this battle.

your choice

Yo Dopple that rhyme was sweet
If I was Jesus I'd wash your feet
Not with water but with piss
Cause I went to GW RAP BATTLE and all I got was this lousy diss.....

I'd take you up at monopoly
but i got news for you:
Rich Uncle Pennybags is laughing
at your deed, Kentucky avenue?

I got a hotel on the Boardwalk
and Park place too!
Land on my space I'll clean you out
then what you do?

You use gimmicks and slander to get what you want
Lucky for you average voter's uninformed
But take a look at the issues and you'll see
that I'm gonna win and leave you deformed.

Run away run away that's all i have to say
Or duck and cover with your sweet ol' mother
But if you want to burn go ahead and take your turn
Do what you can but I'll just rebuff you again!

wow dude chill i'm preparing mentally/playing portal.

is SUNN ​)) posty.metqal?

no that's like drone metal....didn't we have thi conversation a couple months ago..........though jdging by the misspelling of words i asume its sarcasm, but just to be safe.


i'm not a huge fan of kayo dot but people consider them one of the best post-metal groups ever so................i guess try them if you like avant-garde post-metal.

i don't think so, there's a lot of leaks going around, but i don't think any of them are entire album leaks...also the track listing apparently is:

01. Chinese Democracy
02. Shackler's Revenge
03. Better
04. Street Of Dreams
05. If The World
06. There Was A Time
07. Catcher N' The Rye
08. Scraped
09. Riad N' The Bedouins
10. Sorry
11. I.R.S.
12. Madagascar
13. This I Love
14. Prostitute

chinese democracy will never come out bwa...bwahahaha.

Well, apparently its coming out in less than a month. And I know there's absolutely zero GnR fans at GW, but them's the breaks.

Axl Rose has been promising the imminent release of Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy ever since he looked like this (pictured). So most fans become properly skeptical whenever Billboard publishes an article like this one, claiming that Chinese Democracy will finally (no, really!) be released on Nov. 23. This time, though, there's some indication that the news is for real.

I'm downloading this the day it leaks, assuming its not a fake due date again. I don't expect another Appetite for Destruction, but I expect it to be about as good as the Use Your Illusion albums if you take away November Rain.

Lately I've become very interested in music that features the drums/percussion as an integral part of the music. I'm having a hard time knowing where to go for more. I got really interested in it while listening to stuff like magma and especially Indian Bhangra music. Not that I'm looking for stuff that's similar to those two things, but it couldn't hurt if I got more of the same, but really I'm just looking for music that's very rhythm heavy. And I doubt hip-hop/r&b/rap would be the way to go as the beats are too simple, but if there's exceptions I'd love to hear them!

wow guys its been 20 years, this shit don't seem to matter anymore.........sounds terrible but shit guys 20 years in prison is a long time that is one long intteruption to have in your middle years.

april 20th

they fucking suck dude.

that's a well articulated point accompanied by researched facts to back it up with. can't argue with that logic!
