Another question: people can sometimes request songs on the radio, but what if someone requests a classical song on a rock station? Can they flat out say no? Do they ask which song you'll request before you're on air?

I thought they just pre-record you, and then play the clip at their leisure.

DJ: Hi what's your name.
*PAUSE*
Recording: Blah blah.
DJ: What do you want played?
*PAUSE*
Recording: Blah blah
DJ: Alright here is blah blah

It's kinda like toilet paper. When you start out the roll is all fat, but when it looks like you're halfway through the roll, the last half gets eaten up really quickly.

Someone else can probably apply it to the consumption of liquids, but I am not that man.
 
So I'm looking for this old pc game. I used to play it on my Mum's old windows 3.1 machine. It was a 2D fighter, and the characters were these giant robots. You could customise your bot, like change the colours and buy parts. Does anyone know what it was called? That's all I can remember.

Can someone explain the plane meme to me?

Someone posted a news story about having sex with kids or something, a picture of a plane was posted as an "I'm going there" reply. Has since been used incorrectly approximately 9000000000x

The best one was the Mexico drug laws thread.
 
Gaf, how come whenever I try to save a jpeg I have to add .jpg to the end of the save name? It should detect it's a jpeg automatically but instead it says the type is "All Files" and give me that stupid thing where I have to pick a program to open it with. It's real annoying.

Isn't this just the thing where you need to clear your browser cache?

One time I requested a song by a semi popular artist played on that station, but not one of his 'hits' and the dude brushed me off with 'I'll see what I can do' what a turd head.

Maybe if you were crazy with a classical song on a rock station they might make fun of you or play around, or maybe you'll just get the old brush off.

Welp, go clear your browser cache, try again, and if it works, then you can say "why yes, it was." :p

On Chrome is that "Clear Browsing Data"? And will it delete cookings and saved passwords and stuff?

All calls to my local radio station are pre-screened. I called in once and the prescreener asked what I wanted to hear. It was kind of obscure (they might not have had it) so I didn't get through.

I guess nothing is stopping you from lying to the pre-screener and then saying something else.
 
I was wondering if there are any experimental 3D videos on the internet using this method with 2 images instead of the red&blue method. Couldn't that be achieved in 60fps? (30 frames for each image). Either way, I would like to see it. As far as I can tell all those gifs aren't 60fps.

That's the point of things like this. You lie to the pre-screener and say some other song/awesome things on air.
 
The reasons commercials sound bad is because they're compressed to a wall of sound to make the ad 'stand out', unfortunately none of them have clicked on the fact everyone else is doing it, so it's not working, it's just irritating. If anyone is like me, they'll actually pay more attention to the ads that aren't attempting to rip you head clean off.

I recently heard some presenter laugh out loud at someone when they asked for Cher and then hung up on her.
 
Someone around here might know this, I hope. I just installed a pentium dual core processor in my old HP computer and nothing happens. The HD light stays lit and the computer powers up but does nothing. The model of both:

A1217n pavilion
Pentium Dual Core E5200

From what I have found the motherboard should take it but it does nothing for me. I have updated the bios of the computer also before it was installed.

Thanks for ANY info.
 
A weird thing just happened with iTunes. I just bought the second episode of Psych, and after downloading both SD and HD files (god that's annoying, please let me opt out of SD when I buy HD, apple) and closing iTunes, a download started the next time I opened iTunes of that same episode but just the HD file and now it sits seprately in the playlist with the 'HD' icon next to it... Hmmm.... *strokes chin*


Oh and what the hell, here's another wierd thing... or maybe not. Is it possible for the rumble feature in PS3 to not work at first and only pop into action when there are more aggressive rumble signals or something? I noticed rumble only after getting onto a dirt road in Burnout Paradise and I'm not sure if I just didn't notice it or it didn't work until then... o_O For what it's worth I recently got this PS3 and only played Resistance before Burnout so I haven't used rumble until then (though I think Resistance was patched for rumble right? not sure).
 
Edit****

*reads thread title*
Ohhhh

Why does bottled water have an expiration date?

and why does my Nintendo DS battery last longer than my cell phone battery(sidekick)?
 
Anyone else's mind blown by how there is the smallest limit on wether something happens or not ? It blows my mind everyday. Like a heavy weight you can't lift, it may be just too heavy by 0.1gram, the same princable can be applied to anything.

It then get's me thinking about how the smallest things can have the biggest effects.

Aside from "Cosmos", are there another great documentaries about the universe that I should watch?
Click to expand...

The Planets is probably the best space related documentary that I've seen. "Space" is quite good as well, concerning itself more with phenomena outside the Solar System. While I'm here...

I really enjoyed watching The Planets.

It's easy. You see that globe looking icon (called Insert Link) when you're replying in a thread? Well, highlight the word where you want people to click, click the globe looking icon and paste the URL there and voila!
 
im having a problem with my laptop where my mouse cursor will randomly jump accross the screen. usually to a program icon or to the start menu. i assume this is some sort of wonky end result of using a mouse when a gesture program is still activated.

how do i get it to stop? i have my touchpad turned off as well as lightscribe, is there another gesture program commonly sent out with laptops? [its an HP running 64bit vista]

This doesn't deserve it's own thread, so I'm posting it here.

What is the point this ad is supposed to be getting at? I understand that it's for the United Negro College Fund, and that there is an image of what appears to be a black man on the far right, but what the hell is up with the ice cream scoops and the scoop itself? What does that have to do with college, or black people? Am I really missing something here?
