        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

      • ruaok
        how can anything be of better quality than a lossless codec??
      • 2005-12-01 33553, 2005

        o_O
      • 2005-12-01 33555, 2005

      • masi
        if it decodes faster?
      • 2005-12-01 33508, 2005

      • masi
        or encodes better

        faster maybe.
      • 2005-12-01 33510, 2005

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

      • masi
        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

      • PRAEst76
        I can never tell if that's sarcasm when people say stuff like that.
      • 2005-12-01 33517, 2005

      • yllona
        no sarcasm
      • 2005-12-01 33542, 2005

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

      • PRAEst76
        Not always. Can get one into trouble it can.
      • 2005-12-01 33556, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        Erm.
      • 2005-12-01 33501, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        See what i mean.
      • 2005-12-01 33502, 2005

      • yllona
        trouble is good
      • 2005-12-01 33525, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        Trouble is good if it works out well in the end or you profit in some way.
      • 2005-12-01 33546, 2005

      • inhouseuk
        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
      • 2005-12-01 33548, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        It's not good if it just results in grief and vengence

      • yllona
        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
      • 2005-12-01 33534, 2005

      • 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

      • PRAEst76
        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

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

      • PRAEst76
        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

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

      • ruaok
        and now I am with a woman that talks straight up, but our most powerful communication is non verbal.

        That's not what i meant, but I've just found that mature independant women are rarely single and usually have great boyfriend/husbands

        I might make the assumption, but it's not something I ask of women I'm attracted to. It's hard to imagine they might be single.

        some men are intimidated by "mature independant women".

        that's where the geek reigns supreme... not easily intimidated

        Actually I'm really easily intimidated

        PRAEst76: I know where there are plenty of intelligent, independent and attrative women that apprieciate good men - hint, they are not in the UK
