  1. Technically you can't tell the difference. "Whale" and "Wail" are homophones, and hence cannot be distinguished from a purely audio perspective. I would however agree with you that in context "Wail" is a more appropriate word. Almost all lyrics of un-release material (that doesn't have an official lyrics sheet) is transcribed by the populous of this forum.
  2. No, no flash on the phone. Quicktime is a native format for the phone (and Mac's in general), so the choice makes sense.
  3. As otherwise commented, the iPhone version has a pause. You could mine out the actual stream location and open it in QuickTime. Actually, I lie, you can't get the steam source from the website directly, you would have to be more crafty. Unfortunately there are other implications to the process, and I'm not comfortable being the nature of those kind of instructions. Good luck with that though...
  4. I will also hang it with my Avalanche vinyl... one day I how to get them signed...
  5. Yeah, you're specs check out. Maybe the feed was messed up... Have you tried again recently. I'm streaming the album on exactly the same setup. I am on Wi-Fi, which could also be a factor (sometimes these things don't like to work over cell data)
  6. I believe that was the last album from OLP I bought... wow, that takes me back to grade 10.
  7. I'm hoping for a timeline sync up. I live in San Francisco, so I'll have to have the opportunity to fly back to Canada to see a show... :S
  8. yeah, I just tried it. It should bump open a QT window. Couple of quick checks: What version of the phone/touch, what OS are you running? Cheers
  9. I'll have to see if any shows up in a liquor store near me... I don't drink much vodka, but it would be kind of a strange item to add to my supply.
  10. I just cracked RE 5... didn't like it. It had a bunch of sections that could cause you great problems if you missed to simple but no-obvious trick. The ally AI was almost less helpful than Ashley in RE4, and all she did was get attacked by zombies, scream helplessly, and hide. In RE5, it's like the computer is actively working against you. It never uses an appropriate weapon; it always positions itself with no clear shot and then proceeds to use all it's ammo shooting you in the back; if it has any form of health recovery and you stub your toe it will use it (even the good, restores 100% of your health stuff); and the worst of it, in situations where getting an enemy between the two of you is a good idea, there is actually no way to get the AI to not follow you. Nothing shines out as being a huge leap, same basic zombies... play time didn't seem very long either.
  11. Moon, Fantastic.
  12. Also if everybody can just cool their jets a bit it would be nice. I don't really care what your opinion is of the album, but be civil in presenting it. No need to get personal (we're edging on it a little bit here). Thanks all.
  13. GTA2, we miss you.
  14. Technically, in the realm of moral studies, everybody has morals. Your morals might be non-conformist or in conflict with societal values, but I think you would find it difficult to argue you have no morals whatsoever.
  15. I found the contact beam ineffective against the last boss and took it out with the pulse riffle. On replay, the contact beam is most effective against the upgraded enemies... it appears the game has a sense of hitpoints, and severing a limb is bonus... as such, shooting off a limb with the cutter requires 2 shots, and you usually have to take two limbs to kill them... the contact beam on a single limb is virtually an instant kill. Strangely I am actually replaying the game back to back with my first play through on account of the bad ass armour I got from clearing the game the first time... which basically makes me a tough MF... the survival horror kinda goes away once you can just tank your way through everything.
  16. I just finished Dead Space... which really reminded me of RE4, which is ok, because I liked RE4. I would fault it that it never really surprised me with a boss battle... the ominous cache of ammunition (and entire staging area before the last boss) SORT of gave it away. Also the game sometimes challenges you to save ammo, only to give you a boat load that you can't carry all of later. Overall I liked it.
  17. It's ok I'm just late to the party. Just so I'm clear, when it asks you for an Administrator password, it don't like your password? So under System Preferences - Accounts, your account is not an Admin account?
  18. In America, the land of at will employment, yes, yes you can.
  19. Your structure choice is going to depend a lot on what you want to do with the data. For example, if you only want to store the history, then a comma separated list is going to be just fine. If you need to look through this data on a regular basis, then you are going to take increasing performance hits each time you have to process the data. In the later case you will need to develop a better structure. It seems like you are using SQL so it isn't really actionable to build a substructure. If you aren't using sql, then a binary tree for each category will give you optimal information access. You could do that if you are the only reader and write of the table by jamming a binary object in there too. You are right that creating your second structure might balloon out of control. You might consider creating a table for each user containing the elements int_seen and category. That will give you only one table per user with at most the number of integers you have for entries. You would need a table of users (which can locate the individual user tables), but that is worst case the number of users you have in length.
  20. That really depends on if the programs sat down and thought out the system, or if they just hacked it together in perl... In fact I imagine it is only one line of perl and the side effect of running it is that it writes the rest of the program...
  21. Apparitions is my weakest song... but that is because I can only really strum and you need to be smarter than that to play it. Also I think we are talking about covers from Beautiful Midnight, which, unless you are American doesn't have Apparitions on it ;)
  22. Will you buy me Wendy's, or will you ditch me for you "real" friends again?
  23. I did not enjoy watching metric live.
  24. I get 7.5-9 depending on the nature of my driving (highway at reasonable speed is best). I drive a Hyundai... so I mean I basically have a hamster on a wheel for an engine. This tank I have been pretty aggressive so I expect a dip.
  25. I'm always in for this kind of idea, but sadly it never really goes. I had high hopes for the last attempt. Anyway, I don't really have anything from BM in my lexicon of poorly played songs. I can sign most of it, but that is only in my delusional opinion.
