But if it helps a pop fan discover heavier/better music through Babymetal, then it's okay I suppose.

I hate that argument. So what if, say, 1000 people get into decent heavy music by taking a detour through Babymetal? I don't think it's worth it. Heavy metal has a certain reputation to the general public - one that always misses the point by miles of course. In the 80s it was that metal fans are borderline satanists and future violent criminals. That's already pretty bad, but - fuck me - I think it's worse metal is represented in the public eye by pop abominations like this. But the fact that everyone suddenly talks about them shows that that's exactly what music biz executives are currently trying to make happen. A prospect which is definitely not worth those 1000 assholes with issues about having been into that "band" at one point in their lives. It's not like metal gets any better if the "metal community" gets bigger, or at least there's no historical correlation to support that notion. Sorry about the profanity, I think the weather makes me aggressive.

Why didn't you have any backups? Google drive? Even if you're usually very careful about keeping it safe, you can never know when your harddrive breaks and some stuff can't be recovered. Every harddrive breaks, it's only a matter of time.

Well, I'm pretty much learning that now. I just never thought I would do something this stupid. I definitely like Google Docs/Drive so I'll be using that a lot more in the future.

Ouch Empyreal that really blows ass. I actually was on the other end of a similar situation some time ago. Someone left their laptop in its case just sitting in the middle of a parking lot, it also had what I am assuming were extra keys to a rental car, a passport, a few USB drives, and about a dozen porn DVDs (lol). I turned it in to the police but the guy never claimed it, so I got it back and sold it a short while later. Hope you aren't set back too far by all of this...

lol, no i'm not going to listen to 30 seconds of it. and i guess it's supposed to be satire, but the dude's angle wavers too much. it reeked of inconsistency the entire way through, like he couldn't decide whether he was going to pretend to be a weeaboo, a prog fan trying to convince us that it had musical merit, or just a web 1.0-style troll. the mix of all three didn't work. i'm all for satire, but you gotta do it right.... and metalsucks, based on what little i've read, NEVER does it right.

This is how you do satire correctly (from the Schrodinger's Cat trilogy):
Spoiler: show
There was another President of Unistat who resigned, actually, but he "only" (as they say) existed in a novel. This was a science-fiction thriller set in a parallel universe and was called Wigner's Friend. It was about the worst possible President the author, a Harvard professor named Leary, could imagine.

The President in Leary's book, called Noxin, was a monster. He got the country into totally unnecessary wars without the consent, and sometimes even without the knowledge, of Congress. He lied all the time, compulsively, even when it wasn't necessary. He put wiretaps on everybody -- even on himself. (Leary, a psychologist, claimed this bizarre fantasy, which smacked of satire, was possible, for a certain type of paranoid mind.) He used the FBI and the IRS to harass every citizen who resisted this tyranny. He not only took bribes, but even had a team of enforcers who extorted "campaign" money from corporations under the threat of turning the IRS on them. His political enemies all died in a series of strange assasinations that couldn't be explained. When Congress started investigating his crimes, he betrayed his co-conspirators one by one.

Noxin even misappropriated government money to fix up his house, and cheated on his income tax.

The book was a runaway best-seller, because it had a taut, suspenseful plot and because the Unistaters could congratulate themselves on not being dumb enough to ever elect such a President.

Most of the important stuff, I still have, yeah. Hoping someone like you found it and will turn it in somewhere.

Laptops on Newegg that fits your criteria - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi ... ted%20Card

I'd suggest an i5 instead of an i7 if you're not doing any heavy processing for videos and music. Looks like companies don't give you much of a choice though, it's either i7+dedicated graphics card or i5+integrated graphics card. The need for a touch screen also limits your options.


I will echo this and others who have recommended Asus. I bought my Asus laptop a little over 2 years ago for $899. It has shown no signs of slowing down since and can run whatever games/programs I want. Definitely great quality for the price.

Darth Vader has higher approval ratings than every currently known 2016 presidential candidate! Emperor Palpatine beats out many of them too. Gotta love how the Washington Post deems it necessary to colour-code the graph into "Star Wars characters" and "Real People". :lol:

One thing I am genuinely surprised doesn't have its own topic is that fiasco on the U.S.-Mexico border. At a minimum I thought the resident nativists would have started posting about it.

I've posted this in the Video Game Thread, but since it's not primarily about video games I'm posting it here also:

http://blog.brendanvance.com/2014/07/16/usurpers/

It's an article that offers little re-read value, but it has a ton of quality content, such as this:
Quote:
Consider the Holy Bible as a product in a marketplace. It has several attractive qualities, foremost among them the tantalizing possibility that it contains the true word of a being who created the universe. But it has several worrisome drawbacks as well. Like most written anthologies it has poor replay value when compared to something like Spelunky; after you read it once you know more or less how it goes. It features a relatively weak Physical Rights Management scheme; for example, you don’t need to purchase one for your household if you can simply borrow it from a friend or read it in a local church. Even its branding as a ‘perfect document’ becomes something of a double-edged sword; the first, purportedly perfect edition might seem very desirable indeed, but who is going to buy Holy Bible: Religious Text Of The Year Edition when the original is supposed to be immaculate? How are you going to make corrections, utilize analytics data or market additional ‘content’? Where will your fine sponsors place all their full-page advertisements: After the crucifixion or before?

I'm in Cheonan, which is about two hours or so south of Seoul by bus or 35 minutes by high speed KTX train. I started a blog about my adventures in Korea, for anyone interested:

your set up actually looks pretty comfy - small but not too cramped. Actually reminds me of my first apartment in DC. Cheonan, eh? My dad used to pop in there quite a bit due to his tech business involvement. It sounds like a fairly active place, so that's pretty dope.

Yeah, I just scoped out the apartment next door, where I'll be moving in a week, and its real nice. There's a window in addition to that sliding door (which leads to a little tiled room with the wall boiler and the washing machine) and he's got a lot of furniture, appliances and decorations, including Christmas lights, he's leaving behind for me. There seems to be a decent amount of stuff to do around here. I'm looking forward to hiking up the "mountain" behind my apartment building, which is a wooded park with a Buddhist temple on top. I'll probably wait for better weather though since it's been gross and rainy due to monsoon season ever since I got here.

I think they extended line 1 of the subway down to Cheonan now, would be a lovely two hour or so ride to Seoul on that (maybe that's why the suicide rate in Korea is so high, long subway rides that make you want to end it all). Actually you can use the subway to go to Songtan, outside the American air force base (Osan) - really nice area, seems like little America actually, a good Brazilian joint there, 20 bucks or so and many many of the meaty meat.

Well ... does not look like this year is particularly special or extreme in this regard. Previous years have much more incidents. The media simply cares a bit about this stuff at the moment.

Doesn't it seem like people game the shit out of last.fm? Just came across a dude who has 63k scrobbles since Feb 2013. I listen to music ~6 hours a day during the week and that translates to about 1,000 a month. Do people just leave their iTunes running all day at home so they can seem like they're constantly listening and up their play counts?

When you have an iTunes account as your main music-listening outlet, last.fm can tally previously-played music for as long as you had that account active. Thus someone can start a last.fm account with a huge amount of tracked music.

Well, fuck. I knew I shouldn't have wiped my old computer that had iTunes on it. That's probably a good 30k scrobbles I'm missing out on :(

You can put that shit on your résumé. In today's rough economy a well maintained last.fm profile can give you the needed edge over other applicants. Shows dedication. Make sure to put a ton of statistics and pretentious photography in your "about me" section though. And if you're over 80% compatible with your employer your career is pretty much secured. You'd have to, I dunno, piss in the coffee maker, to ruin that.

I know of at least one case of a person being hired because in the middle of the interview his phone rang, and the ringtone was Angel of Death.

Scrobble count in itself doesn't matter (duh), but more scrobbles make for more interesting statistics.

As a hiring manager, I always ask candidates for their last.fm profile so I can make sure they're not listening to "Rage against the Machine" or "video game scores" along with their black metal and dark ambient.

To you it might be useless info, others might find looking at their listening behaviour over time interesting. For many it is indeed why they registered there in the first place. Is that really such an alien concept to get behind?

I listen to music ~6 hours a day during the week and that translates to about 1,000 a month.

Unless the average length of the songs you listen to is around 10 minutes or so, your math is pretty far off. If the average is about 5 minutes then it's a little over 2,000 a month. But yeah, 63k plays is still a sizable number in that time period. At 6 hours a day, it'll take you 2100 days (~5.75 years) to reach 63k plays assuming an average track length of 5 minutes.

I never made a last.fm until last week for some reason. It turns out that it's actually really useful, and the statistics are fun. I wish I bothered to make one back in high school. Oh well.

Metrics are cool - keeping stats of stuff is cool. I like looking at what I've listened to.

You guys are weird. Scrobbling always seemed like the most pointless thing in the world to me.
