alt lets you make sweet symbols e.g.

Fair enough. I would still go with one of the F# or Shift over alt.

what is your basis of favoirism?
Click to expand...

Well, there are like a dozen numbered F key's so there is like one key for everybody to love, if you're not into F5 you might like F7 etc.
The shift key has the perfect size and placement for an easy click + it's used for important shit like CAPITALIZATION.
Alt is just for fancy shit that the average person doesn't need.

So I'm looking for this oldies song (possibly from the '50s), but I do not know any lyrics. And I have to be really vague, so I doubt this will be answered, but here's what I remember:

The chorus has singing that's basically wordless from what I remember.

It goes ahhhhhh-oooooo-ahhhhhhhh aye-aye-aye-aye. (or eye-eye-eye-eye all strung together in a singing voice)

The song is upbeat.

Maybe there's a site where I can sing it in the mic and see if it can identify it.

Enigma - Return to Innocence

(would link YouTube vid but I'm on my iPad)
 
Whenever I listen to interviews on NPR radio, it always sounds rehearsed. Is it careful editing or do they hire voiceovers and read the interviews aloud?

Haha no that's not it. It's most likely from the 50's and it's a pop song. I hate having to be so vague because it can lead to so many songs.

Thanks for trying though.

Also, why is NPR the only radio organization where you can hear the various hosts tongues wriggle around in their mouths. Particularly Terry Gross.
 
How do you take-off in the PS3 version of IL-2 Sturmovik? I don't have the manual, and for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Adult education classes at a community college that teach driving would be cheaper. Or ask a buddy.

Or $500.

The use too much compression when mixing live. It picks up every little tiny sound and amplifies it in your face.

Learning to drive a stick can be quick and easy.

You could test drive one from a dealer and they'll let you keep it over night. It should only take a day to really get it down.

Well on the 360 version you just push forward on the right anologue stick to throttle up, and pull back to throttle down. Get up some speed, pull back on the left stick and away you go... I'm guessing it will be the same on the ps3?

They sound rehearsed because they are highly edited and paired down. They remove all or most of the uhms and ahhs, and a lot of the pauses between questions / sentences / words where it still sounds natural. They'll edit out questions and answers that didn't really impact the interview while still maintaining journalistic integrity.

They're highly produced, and highly awesome. Possibly the best thing on the radio.
 
I'm a med student and I'm going to the U.S. to take a course with a duration of 7 weeks. I leave in a few days so I can't apply for a student visa, I do have a normal tourist visa tho. Can I get in trouble if I say I'm just going as a tourist?

I'm pretty sure that game has a tutorial.

Indeed, and I did it all. Still no instructions on how to take-off (note that I can play the game because all missions start in-air, I just can't figure out how to take-off after landing).

A Google search gave me nothing but crap. If you don't get an answer, I'd just futz around with it more (there's only so many buttons) or bump this thread.

WHY DOES SOME HAIR (E.G. HEAD/BEARD) GROW FOREVER AND SOME HAIR (E.G. LEG) STOP AT A CERTAIN POINT?
Click to expand...

TLC: Why does the hair on your arms stay short, while the hair on your head can grow very long?

Each hair on your body grows from its own individual hair follicle. Inside the follicle, new hair cells form at the root of the hair shaft. As the cells form, they push older cells out of the follicle. As they are pushed out, the cells die and become the hair we see.

A follicle will produce new cells for a certain period of time depending on where it is located on your body. This period is called the growth phase. Then it will stop for a period of time (the rest phase), and then restart the growth phase again.

When the hair follicle enters the rest phase, the hair shaft breaks, so the existing hair falls out and a new hair takes its place. Therefore, the length of time that the hair is able to spend growing during the growth phase controls the maximum length of the hair.

The cells that make the hairs on your arms are programmed to stop growing every couple of months, so the hair on your arms stays short. The hair follicles on your head, on the other hand, are programmed to let hair grow for years at a time, so the hair can grow very long.

Not really a question but didn't deserve its own thread.

I need help creating a title for my paper on Brave New World.

First one that comes up with a title I like gets $1 million in Monopoly money.

Is there any real difference between the shiny side and the dull side of aluminum foil?
Click to expand...

Absolutely not, other than appearance. I watched "How it's made" on the science channel. It has to do with the fact that two sheets are pressed at the same time, and the sides facing each other result in the difference. Cool, huh?
