Chance of complete site redesign that would include moving of bio/discography section is just a bit less than chance of entire site moving.

Is there a plug in for Monkey's Audio files (better quality than flac)
2005-12-01 33518, 2005

how can anything be of better quality than a lossless codec??

if it decodes faster?

faster maybe.

but there is no better/worse with a lossless codec
2005-12-01 33529, 2005

not if you mean sound quality of course

not sure what he meant at all. that was all the mail said
2005-12-01 33523, 2005
yllona
raw audio is always best, but all the lossless codecs max out ~50% compression
2005-12-01 33554, 2005
PRAEst76
maybe it's a smaller file size.
2005-12-01 33516, 2005
masi
50%? i thought it's 66%...
2005-12-01 33519, 2005
yllona
that's waht i meant by ~50% compression
2005-12-01 33550, 2005
yllona
i said "max out"
2005-12-01 33550, 2005
ruaok
smaller file size I could see, but would you call that better quality?
2005-12-01 33556, 2005
ruaok
not like this really matters
2005-12-01 33508, 2005
yllona
than raw audio? nope
2005-12-01 33537, 2005
PRAEst76
I wouldn't, but some people might. Especially if they didn't really know what they were saying. I always fluff up my words.
2005-12-01 33543, 2005
PRAEst76
People are always saying things they don't really mean. Especially if it's just words they associate with something but they never take the time to think if it actually makes sense
2005-12-01 33544, 2005
yllona
heh, you seem quite knowledgeable to me :P
2005-12-01 33506, 2005

I can never tell if that's sarcasm when people say stuff like that.

no sarcasm
2005-12-01 33542, 2005

and you're inquisitive, which is very important
2005-12-01 33548, 2005

Not always. Can get one into trouble it can.

Trouble is good if it works out well in the end or you profit in some way.

in my experience women are normally more inquisitive than men. Like "What time are you coming home?", "Who did you go to the bar with?" etc

inhouseuk: women just process more information than men. like my older brother told me years ago, when you ask a man what he's thinking, and he respond "Nothing" it really means nothing :O

here's a closely held secret. geeks make excellent partners/husbands
2005-12-01 33554, 2005
PRAEst76
I've just never dated. Actually gone on dates and wooed someone that way. It's always been "meet someone, get it on" even if I wanted it otherwise.
2005-12-01 33523, 2005

I think that's why none of the relationships have ever really lasted very long.

I hope so, at least I'm not a woman. They all start worrying about aging by the time they hit 26 and in their 30s they seem to be looking up consmetic surgery brochurs

much like you PRAEst76, I had some terrible starts.
2005-12-01 33532, 2005

I'm uncomfortable even with telephones but stuff like skype always just felt clumsy to me. It might be to do with the way I express myself in other ways and I feel kinda naked and disarmed in voice only
2005-12-01 33542, 2005

then I said I was never going out with another woman who didnt talk straight up.
2005-12-01 33510, 2005
