So California's new law on cellphones is about to roll in.

"Eh?

I thought that that law has been passed ages ago. I guess not in California...

But yeah, its only right anyway. Seriously, if people had their brain in the right place, they would know better to talk on their mobile phones while driving. Especially with the youth's today, some of the accidents come from stuff like that.

Only a dumb person would ever forgive someone who has betrayed him/her (well, on your kind of situation anyway).

Same thing happened to my sister, and she is still kinda madly in love with the guy. Man people these days >.>

Well, with me, ill probably forgive anyone who betrays me. Ill forgive them when im in their funeral."

FLAC vs mp3 (at 320Kbps)

1 month 3 weeks ago

"Thing is though, when people say that you have to have proper equipments and stuff, or "you" hearing the subtle difference...

well, the only time i ever listen to music is when im actually doing something else. And to actually hear the subtle (well, anything lower than 192kbp is just NO...) difference between 320 and FLAC, well, you kinda need to be actually concentrating on the music. Thats just not listening for pleasure...in my opinion.

Besides, id say i listen to music more outside...which means its through my neckband (lol im vain about my hair) and you just cant expect much lossless-"ness" from that.

And yes, proper sound systems (some surround sound systems are just heavily priced, decent PC's with proper sound cards...and well include the bigger HD's there) and some other more...well, i admit im probably below the normal audiophile but way above average listeners...but i just aint got enough money."

"@Aphrodite: see, all those people go into "the technical" side

its like the argument of DirectX 9 vs DirectX 10, or like below 800 dps mouse (at $10 each) VS Razor 4000dps mouse ($120? for a mouse lol) graphics cards etc... Of course, technically, DirectX10, 4000dps, and FLAC would be better

technically

what about the non technical side? Like, money...(hey, you need a better system for better stuff...and that costs)."

Bust Size

1 month 3 weeks ago

"Well, im no pro at boosting anyone's confidence (especially when it comes to girls bust size cuz im a guy), but really, its all about how you deliver yourself.

Instead of looking negatively at what you don't have, why don't you try and look positively at what you can do to improve yourself (like fashion perhaps?).
Surely, a bit of good fashion sense, and personality(?) could make anyone with smaller breasts more attractive to any D-E cupped girls out there.

Anyway, just try not to let what opinions bother you much. Ultimately in the end, its your OWN opinion about yourself that matters (of course, with some great friends and family to boost your self-esteem as well).

Thats what i think! (i have no girlfriend so im totally a newb at this ROFL)

Besides, as a guy (well, a "unconventional guy" according to my 2 sisters), i think A-B cups are really attractive. They give me the feel of "just right". And thats coming from me who lives in the UK (and man, UK is full of busty girls).

FLAC vs mp3 (at 320Kbps)

1 month 3 weeks ago

"Now, this topic has become really heated in my class, so i thought I'd see what the an anime community would say about this topic.

Ok, basically

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is a compression format that is aimed specifically at music. FLAC brags about its compression at 100% lossless. So every bit of sound (even the tiniest of sounds) will still be there when you rip a music from a CD.

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) is, if you didn't know, lossy. Yes, the quality when you compress music to mp3 format goes down considerably. What mp3 does is that it removes all the "supposedly" unnecessary and "imperceivable by the human hear" pieces.

So

Being lossy as it is, why is mp3 actually popular? Well, a 6 min track (this is only a general estimation) at 128kbps would be about 6mb. At 192kbps its 9mb and at 320kbps its 14-15mb.

FLAC is about (once again, estimation) about 2x as as big as a 320kbps mp3 (so around 27-30mb for a 6 min track).

That said...

Can YOU actually tell the difference in the quality between a 320kbps mp3, which is the highest quality of mp3 (supposedly near lossless on judgment by the human ear) between FLAC, which is lossless?

Are you sure you sure that it wasn't only your imagination (or forced yourself) that heard this so called "i never heard this tiny sound on this song when i listened to it on a mp3 @ 320kbps" when listening to FLAC?

Is it really worth it to have so much space taken (30mb for a 6 min song? WHOA) with "just music" (*cough* gets stabbed by audiophiles *cough*) when you can get mp3 (which saves so much space).

Thoughts?"

cars, motorbikes and gas prices

2 months 2 days ago

"Dont forget to mention that learning how to ride a bike is WAYYY easier (at least in UK) that learning how to ride a car

So say 20 pounds a lesson and you need minimum of 15 lessons (i think its actually 20 but lets take it there). Thats almost 300 pounds...+ you have to pay to take the tests (which cost also). Whereas with a bike...a what...6 hour course in 1 day? for about 80-100 pounds. And you can already ride by yourself. You have to have Learner plates though...but just 1 year and you can take the Master Access test (only up to 125cc max though. Still, better than having to have your parent/s ride with you in the car when your still stuck with your car Learner plates).

Risk? so what. IMO motorbikes are cooler anyway.

Note: Just an estimation. Think of 1 pounds = 2 dollars"

Big big shock for me. Kids here in the UK (not all but a lot) are just really rude. Though i wont blame all on them. Some of the parents i see are bad as well. And if they are rude to their children, their children will be rude to other people. And so the disease spreads.

Obsessions

3 months 2 weeks ago

"I think its partially because shes unsure with reality.

Or something close to that in my opinion. I myself am obsessed with anime girls (but not to that level where i just go fanboy-ing 24/7 that my mom is already worried).

But yeah, the only thing she probably needs is just widen her social network a bit (like have a couple friends?) and just go out more? (Lol, i only have a handful of friends. And i never go out except for college and my part time job. But thats already more than enough socializing for me).

But seeing as how shes only 12. I reckon she will grow out of it. People become more mature as they grow anyway.

BUT. A BIG BUT.

I think nowadays, obsessions are really bad. Particularly because the media can reach the eyes/ears of everyone so easily (compared to the past). And media just brainwashes completely young and "naive" minds."

Can't you be more civil of showing your otaku/weeaboo behavior?

"Im a bit of a weeaboo only with my closest friends. I would never act so shameless in public (because society is stuck up).

I find it funny how people think im a really serious guy (they say my face is always so straight) but my best friend knows how weird i really am when its only the two of us.

I guess thats what they call "public image".

IMO, being a weeaboo, among weeaboo's, in a weeaboo oriented place is TOTALLY FINE. Its just that you know, its our business, so it should be our business. We dont need to include anyone that doesnt want to really."

Looks or personality?

3 months 2 weeks ago

"Middle of both.

What can i say? Im a mediocre guy.

But ive never had any experience. As in zero.

And i would never EVER date a bitchy hot girl or a really ugly nice girl (well, i know im gonna get flamed by girls for this statement...).

Though to be honest, in terms of friendship, i have this line "You age, your race, your gender, your appearance dont mean anything to me, as long as you are a decent person to talk to". I dont lie. I go by that line which i suddenly made up one day.

So i guess, if i were to befriend a girl, even if she were really ugly, but i could talk a lot of stuff to her (we have a lot of similarites and enjoy a lot of same things), i probably wouldnt care about her looks."

I am working for that dream now, I guess all I can do now is to study harder. . .

"I sticked to watching anime because i hate reality.

Im a realist, dont get me wrong. Im probably one of the most pessimistic people around (with my favorite line "worst case scenario...").

Now i dont get people that watch "reality drama shows" or whatever theyre called. Heck, if im gonna watch something "fiction", it might as well be so "unrealistic" or something. And here we have, anime. Its animated pictures. How can it possibly be anything farther than fiction.

Besides, i find the plot in animes better. Shows in my country are simply crap.

And sad as i may sound (not that i really care about society anyway), I LOVE anime girls. Yeah thats right. I like drawn girls compared to real ones. Im so sad arent i? Well thats anime for me"
