  1. Since Xisto forums have been down for a few days I have had alot of time in which to ponder this question. I think that it would be pretty foolish to go on a trip of which there was no return. At any point if you could be like SCREW this I wanna go home and have a sandwich. Turn around and hyperthrust your way home and be back for 2112 then yeah. I think it would be great to see places like mars. But it's a bit like. So what. Anything that is in conceivable distance of our planet is like... so what? Big rock filled with dust and notingness. I don't really think it's worth going to see them... Could be worth going to see the earth from space though. Just to be like, hey flat earth society.. screw you!!! And conditions on the vessel itself could be pretty crappy, if it was like a massive country sized complex with thousands of square miles of floor space then yeah that is acceptable. I would need a house sized dorm. With a large community... mostly for breeding purposes *heh heh heh heh* But also I would have to have a reasonably large circle of friends with bars and clubs and stuff to stop myself going insane from boredom. All in all I really can't see myself confining my life to something like this. Why spend your whole life in space when you study it from the comfort of your own planet amirite xD
  2. I reckon Mp3 quality depends more on the device used to play it and the speaker/headphone quality. I've heard headphones where the quality is like a casettes quality. But the same MP3 on a different set can be CD or better. What you said about vinyls is pretty specific. I can't see myself keeping a vinyl in perfect condition just to have CD quality, I get nothing out of holding it or using it. Old technology will always be old.
  3. Everything is stupid when it comes to companies. Even the mighty nintendo have a huge amount of stupidity when it comes to life. It's not really stupid from the point that it is a bad idea it's stupid from the point that they're money hungry bar stewards at the end of the day.They do make more money by releasing things solely for one console. People think I want a DS lite, I want to go on the internet on my DS. If you think about it it's a retarded application in the first place. You cna only really get on the internet in the same place that you would with a computer. Either on your wireless router at home. Which you would only have if you had a computer, or using a USB dongle-stick-thingy. That which you plug into your computer. Which can go on the internet. Yes there are exceptions. In places like mcdonalds there are wifi hotspots and stuff like that but as a general rule if your not on your computer you can't go online. End of.
  4. You know? I totally agree wiht the opening post. Smoking should be totally banned form the world forever. It's much more dangerous than the illegal marijuana. Can kill people that don't take it, unlike the illegal coke etc. It's completely ridiculous that anybody ever is allowed to smoke when there is so many things you can't do now. It's very arrogant really. I'm gonna die so let's hope I can bring you down with me. Have some cancer *raaaaaar* People are very stuck up when it comes to smoking. Like it's not a big deal. Nope 400 is a small number when concerning poisons. It's like they're sitting there thinking... I am SO SICK of not having poison circulating my body.. I really need to do something about it.. Idiots.
  5. Well basically I know this guy and I'm kinda friends with him but not that much like we aren't the best of friends, but we get along OK.He's been going out with a girl since christmas and they have recently been going through a rough patch, through lots of encouragement from the outside it has been ended. Now I am pretty interested in the girl, and I reckon she kind of is me as well. There's no real doubt that we won't hook up. It's pretty obvious. Herein lies my question. How long should I have to wait. We did joke about her "having an affair" with me when they went out and it was reasonably obvious I liked her, after all I did help her dump him. (Before you get all testy I did that as a friend it was definately for the best.) So I reckon that would make me need to wait longer.He wasn't really a close friend of mine so that isn't really that much of a deal but it'd sound pretty bad for the girl seen as she just got out of a relationship.What to do Xisto, what to do...
  6. So you saying that the two animals that noah put on the ark are actually dinosaurs? We know 100% absolutely that animals didn't exist at the same time as the dinosaurs, nor did man. Man came millions and million of years later. Think before you speak.
  7. Well seen as the word "virgin" describes someone who has not had sexual intercourse. That's a pretty stupid question to ask. The answer is... because theres noone to have sex with inside of the womb.
  8. Chords and all of music is a complicated business.First of all, Ive never heard of no songs about Jupiter, and I'm sure (whatever it is) it sucks. See... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you need to know is scales. First of all C majorCMajor consists of "white notes" These are all the naturals, C D E F G A BThis is the most important scale and very crucial to all of music. Although it sounds pretty terrible most of the time it can be alot of use.Most things are built upon this scale but it is important that it evolves from that.Next you should learn G majorThis is hugely important as it is used alot, this scale along with C and D Major are probably the most prominent scales in popular song. This scale is G A B C F E F# See what happened there? The 7th of the scale has been sharpened. That doesnt really matter but the scale itself is important.Next up is D major, D E F# G A B C# the last in the sequence has been sharpened.Now that you know these three scales you can give a go at a little improv.I recommend purchasing guitar pro 5, even though it is made for guitars it is a fantastic bit of software that works great for all types of composing. First of all just try slamming in a few random notes in these scales, if you want you can extend the line a bit further and have other scales. Theres about 1000 to choose from. Once you have a little melody you need the chords.The easiest way to do things is in 4/4 this means that there are 4 crotchets (one beats) in a bar. When in 4/4 it is advisable to use whole notes when starting. Dotted rythms can be tricky. Now the chords are easy. You need to first decide how you want them. When starting I recommend using simple chords every beat. Just because its very simple that way. What you should do is look at the melody and use that.Say your in C major. Your notes are:-E F G A D F G A G A F G E F G A <--- That is the melody, here are the chords that I advise.B A D B G F# B G E D G E My apologies if you dont understand that, but basically every note where you want a chord, you should play the chord with that root. If the note is an E play an E chord. I used those simply because you stated you knew them earlier.tl;dr - Get guitar pro, learn scales, notes go with roots.
  9. I could go into religion bashing, but it seems other people have done that already.But...How does this have anything to do with waiting for God? This was just one crazy man waiting for his fictional uncle to die. Then it turns out he did have an uncle.That has as much to do with god as this story:"I woke up one day, and I was oh so hungry. I waited ages for food, and couldn't wait to eat...Then suddnely! The call of God came! It was lunch time at school! HALLELUJAH! We were saved!"Silly religious stories. There more than likely is someone up there who created us, but he doesn't give a damn about us, we're pretty much to him what ants are to us.Bah, I can't be bothered.
  10. I'm sure you've all heard about South Africans have been kicking out immigrants by brute force and violence...If you haven't, you should read the news more but here's a link From TIME (or just google, like i did) Anyways, I'm not here to talk about the violence and how terrible it is (coz im sure someone will). I'm just annoyed at how no one seems to of branded the "Race Card" at this, since that is simply what it is. If large a bunch of people England or America was to start kicking out immigrants and everyone who wasn't English/American, they would instantly be branded as racists pigs. For example, KKK. Given the oppurtinity, they would kick everyone out. Now i'm not saying racism is ok, I'm not even saying that what the South Africans are doing is "bad" (if the government thinks there's too many immigrants, fair enough. Although how they're going about it is a terrible way). Anyways, I'm going into a rant here, and this is the Real World talk and not the Rant section. Anyone elses opinions on this subject?
  11. Hahaha that's brilliantIt's not sexist, though, as it's all true. (Btw, you should use the quote tags) I'm not saying we should slap a woman on the *bottom* and say "Oi, back to the kitchen!" but im saying that stuff like this is true, and will always be. It's not sexist to think this, coz there's things that even men do bad.It's impossible to have FULL gender equality, until scientists mix females and males together
  12. I can't think of a more wrong thing anybody has ever said in the history of the world ever. In the bible it states that you must NOT use God's name in vain. How many times do you hear christians say OH MY GOD! For god's sake!(or if theyre awesome, for the sake of revenge) Lots, cos it's just a saying... Just like that's just a saying. You ask god for help and nothing happens. Cos it's just a saying and God is imaginary.
  13. I am gonna try and keep my laptop with me as long as I possibly can, I got XP on this of course and I think if my poor laptop is to die, I'll burn XP on to a disc (or buy it before it stops being made) then get a new computer with vista and wipe it. Then upload XP back, people still let some programs work on 98 n 2000 maybe the same goes for XP... I think that they'll eventually realise it sucks donkeys and just stio making it altogether, then bring out a new Vista3000 or something and say its a whole new expirience, when its just XP with style XP installed.
  14. Let's look at the christian religion, let's start from the top. Open up your bible to a random page. Oh, umm let's try a different page I bet it's just that one. OP said that it was filled with peace! The only two passages I SWEAR! OP SAID! Here's an extract from this site. The last bit might not be ten million percent relative but it's very interesting.
  15. How about.... Everything You Have Ever Tried To Do In Forever Is A Complete Waste Of Time, Face It!Especially reading books, watching movies, having hobbies, it all ends in the same way. Inevitable death. Anything you do will eventually lead to you death. Well done.Your opening argument stated that you shouldn't spend your time doing something massively fun, because you could do something else that's more boring. Unless aforementioned book was "Harry Potter" or anything by Richard Dawkins. What's a good hour and a half compared to 8 hours of critical thinking and strategy. Your argument is invalid, it states that one form of entertainment is a waste of time when another isn't. In what way is anything else better than video games, how can you bond better with your buddies than having a four way bash on Super Smash Bros. Brawl?? Certainly not reading a book. And anyway it doesn't matter what you do with your time, as I stated previously it's all just filler until you die. Which you will. Then you will have no recollection of anything you did when you were alive ever, being dead and all.
  16. I don't know what he's on about when he says all that about christmas dinner table arguments. I see nothing but cheer from the christmas table. Must suck to have a situation like that. It's a pretty nice thought though really isn't it. After all christmas is about giving, giving a christmas is still giving none the less. I don't think I could do such a thing to be honest. I'm really not much of a people person. Did anybody do that?
  17. Yeah I forgot about friction and that xDThe scale model seemed fine for a while, ha.
  18. Well, yes, they're done in different ways. But what i'm saying is, they both have the same "end result". One relaxs you by clearing your mind and becoming, well, relaxed (meditation) while the other one relaxes you by feeling all your badness/worries will be cleaned, and your good deeds rewarded (This may sound slightly offensive, but im trying to give a brief over-view of prayer in general). That's just the point i was trying to get across
  19. Prayer, meditation, equalling your theatons. Whatever you call it, it's all the same. It's not really "healing power" or "boosting your spirit" or "improving your zen" it's simply making yourself feel better by psychologically believing you are.The best way to put this into an example would be to think of someone with a compulsive disorder. For example, someone who has to have the objects in their desk in a certain way. If they're not in the correct order, the person will feel on edge, etc, but if they are in the right order, he will feel calm, relaxed, and sometimes safe.When someone prays, meditates, etc, they calm themselves and relax, increasing the mind and bodies functionality. The person believes that they're making themselves feel better, and so the body does, im not sure of the science behind it, but your body begins to "work better" because you're not as stressed.My opinion anyways
  20. First of all let's look at the health qualities in comparison to legal drugs. It is much much safer to ingest/smoke/other than tobacco. Now I'm not saying it's not bad for you, any smoke in your lungs is bad for you of course, but it's not AS bad for you as tobacco smoke. Not to mention all the other stuff you get in cigarettes ie tar; thousands of different types of poison; fatty substances... the list goes on and on. Marijuana is usually smoked straight although is sometimes added with straight tobacco as marijauna has difficulty burning by itself. Marijuana does not have to be smoked though, it can be eaten or if you feel like being super drugtastic you can crush it all up, put it in alcohol, heat the mixture, insert a cotton ball and then extract any liquid on the cotton ball via a needle. This can be injected but I don't think I've ever heard of anyone doing that... s'just a thought. Alcohol is one of the biggest killers in the UK and is very very addictive. To this day there has not been a single death related directly to the usage of marijuana. The drug is also not physically addictive, yes there can be a mental addiction to it, but think about what that mental addiction is. It is a drive to gain the drug and obtain the release. People go to many extreme lengths in order to get that fix. But think about them being insane on getting the hit then just about to kill someone dear to them *or something a bit less extreme, I use this only as a hyperbole * They retreat in a fit of hysterics slamming the door as they leave - marching straight into the local shop they buy a pack of 20 green label cigarettes. Noone has been torn apart. Nothing bad has happened. In fact - the initial part of my anecdote wouldn't have taken place. Marijuana is difficult to obtain (well harder than it is to obtain such things as alcoholic drinks and cigarettes.) Most of the problem in weed is that very young people are smoking it - aged about 16-18. If there was a law permitting that you could smoke it at 16 then it wouldn't be "cool" to be smoking it anymore. It's now legal. That isn't very rebellious. People often have a hissy fit because grades start to slip and minds are deteriorated. Indeed this is a big factor and should be considered when making the legalisation. After all you can't just make a law that says - yes you can smoke marijuana, any age, any place, go for it. There will have to be an age limit which I think should be 16, same as it is for tobacco. Speaking of age limits, I also believe that drinking in USA should be lowered to 18 like the rest of us. Twenty-one is absolutely ridiculous! Other things will have to be taken into consideration. It should be law that they will be allowed to inside their own homes or completely away from other people. Absolutely no smoking in cars or driving whilst under the influence. This should be dealt with at the same tolerance drink driving is, it's more or less the same effect on the candidate. Marijuana can be used in cooking in restraunts but a disclaimer must be very clearly visible. In conclusion I add this. Think of a man on the street. Drunk out of his mind. What is he likely to do? Start a fight - maybe. Urinate on someting - possibly. Do something bad - almost definately... especially if they're with their mates. Now think of the same man but high. What is he likely to do?? Give someone a hug - maybe. Tell someone a horrible joke and laugh himself to tears - possibly. Do something bad - almost definately not. Yet the first man is out on the streets assaulting people and the second man is inside jail rotting. Is this fair?
