    There are no more Rock Stars, rock is dead.

    well, i think i've found "my" answer. I don't wanna agree, but it is true. "Kids will always gravitate to music that their "elders" disdain". Your entire post rings true for me. I have two myself, 17 and 12, and I'm told how old my music is. I'm told how old it is, get with the times. My...

    There are no more Rock Stars, rock is dead.

    The author being me, or the Newspaper i linked to, I agree with both. :) Funny you mention Foo Fighters, that I do like. Just wish there was more like it. Country music seems to be doing fine, while I'm not a fan, it does well. Rock though, the youth don't seem to care about it. What went...

    There are no more Rock Stars, rock is dead.

    So says a recent story in a local paper here in Toronto. http://www.torontosun.com/2012/05/30/there-are-no-more-rock-stars Is it so, I am not sure. If it's true, i find it sad. My issue with todays music, I don't believe all music is given a fair shake. They only want to produce what will...

    I know it's only a rumor, but Van Halen with DLR....reformed

    same info, but this link has a picture of him. He doesn't look well enough to tour. To tell the truth, I was in shock when I saw it, I know it's him, but he is in bad shape. http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/2007/03/09/3720622-ap.html

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    I too found myself laughing along with them as well. Haven't seen these two sharing a laugh in a while, if at all. Adam, thanks for your thoughts on the episode, a great read and insight into a fine episode.

    The Shield: Season 5 thread

    some have said "this is the last season" and also "if this is the last season". Is it for certain one way or the other ?. Finally, it's in Canada one night after the U.S. showing. FX shows it Tuesday, we now see it Wednesday. If it is the last, thats really to bad, I sure could do with a few...

    today's music, a rant really

    Music is an arguement thats never won or lost, it's all personal taste. So lets get that part done. Last night, my wife is going through the channels on TV of New Years party's going on. Of course, music is the main thing. Now this is gonna sound like an attack on RAP, if this is your thing...

    The Shield - Season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    well, it was my best attempt at being funny :frowning: DutchBoy's theme will most likely be the funeral tune soon enough. Anyhow, this season has been my fav so far. I love everything about this show.

    Suggestions on Music Software for playing/burning/ripping etc. etc.

    While it all boils down to what sounds best to "you". Many would reguard windows media player encoding as the worst. I myself use EAC with Lame, but in all my reading on the subject of encoding mp3s, have I never read a "good" thing about wma. I think anything you choose will be a step up.

    EAC/Lame, now I'm seeking help, new DVD drive

    ok so then the speeds I'm getting are normal. I was thinking maybe 15-20x. I can live with it as they do turn out perfect quality. I've found a few settings that may help others useing EAC/Lame. So should anyone search this here, this should come in handy...

    EAC/Lame, now I'm seeking help, new DVD drive

    I've been using EAC/Lame for a few years now, with great results, the best in my opinion. I just got a Plextor 712A DVD for xmas, and it's ripping slower than my old Plextor 12/10/32A (approx 3-4 years old). Just viewing the extraction window, I'm seeing a max of about 7x with new drive, I got...

    CD to MP3?

    I would have to 2nd Angelo's 1st post. This is so true, mp3s will not stand up to the quality of a proper rip/encode of quality programs (EAC, CDex). Should you go the EAC way, once setup it is rather easy to rip / encode. As said, I've not tried CDex, but I know for sure EAC is free.

    ur favorite Albums that last the test of time, and why

    This says it best. I can word it different, but not as well. This is my feelings as well for "Best Of" albums. A "Best Of" can't possibly fit "Albums that last the test of Time", as they are put together from albums from a span of years/albums. And as Tom pointed out, they may not even be in...

    ur favorite Albums that last the test of time, and why

    I paid attention ;) Queen - Another One Bites the Dust I shouldn't asume everyone knows what I'm talking about. It's from the the Album The Game. At the time of release (79-80), it fit into many radio stations mix of music. I'm pretty sure you could find this tune playing on near every...

    ur favorite Albums that last the test of time, and why

    sitting here reading over all the great albums listed here. Remembered I had ordered about 10-15 CDs about 2-3 months ago. Put them in desk, and forgot about two in there (was opening 1-2 each weekend). Came across Elton John "Madman across the Water" and Steely Dan "Gaucho". Madman playing...

    ur favorite Albums that last the test of time, and why

    Tom McDonald I couldn't agree more. As I'm guilty here listing the Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks" as one of mine. Ya know, I thought of this myself, and thought of editing my post to avoid "greatest hits" being posted. I listed this as it got me very intersted in the Stones. But you couldn't...

    ur favorite Albums that last the test of time, and why

    continued...... Supertramp - Breakfest in America While many would consider "Crime of the Century" the must have for S-T. This one remains a regular play for me. A right time / right place. Believe it's 1979, as a boy that only plays sports, this album reminds of when "girlfriends" came into...

    ur favorite Albums that last the test of time, and why

    I started a thread some time back asking for some gems I may have missed in my youth. I bought a number of those albums many listed, some I liked, some I didn't. So, I'm looking for the albums you liked way back when, and still love today, list why if you wish. What albums having "staying...

    Software question, SLR and P&S

    thanks all. Card Reader, yes I really see why now. Took 19 images with Rebel (at Large, not RAW). Seemed to take the same amount of time of say about 35-45 images with A80. Yes I was concerned with one camera overwriting the others files on the PC. Thanks for clearing that up. I looked all...

    Can't uninstall Firefox....please help

    FireFox has both an installer, and one that you just extract and use. So you must have used that one that extracted only. Deleting it's directory (example C:FireFox), when this is deleted, it's completely gone. It's in I believe "all" of the Mozilla software "readme" files to remove old before...

    Software question, SLR and P&S

    Thanks for the info. My main worry was, I have ZoomBrowser download to "C:Camera" and the A80 creates a folder(s) for the dates the pictures were taken. Along with numbered name of each pic. Hoping I can tell it different directory for Rebel. Also, I was worried the USB driver for the Rebel...

    Software question, SLR and P&S

    The wife has just surprised me with the Canon Rebel 300D. We've had the A80 for the past year. I'm chargeing the battery for the Rebel, but haven't installed the software as yet. I see it comes again with Zoom Browser EX as did the A80. Guess my question is, can I use both Camera's on same...

    suggestions on books - Re:starting of WW2

    Thank you all for the suggestions, I will be visiting my local book store shortly. While I did request books, I'm very open of course to movies/documentaries as well. Funny how I had forgotten just seeing "Ike: Countdown to D-Day" with Tom Selleck a month or so back. In fact, I watched it...

    suggestions on books - Re:starting of WW2

    Could anyone recommend a few books on World War 2. I have been viewing a number of shows on History channel, and just finished seeing "Hitler - Rise of Evil". A book that would kinda take over from where that movie left off would be great. Who did Hitler declare war on first, what did he tell...

    Converting home movies (VHS) to DVD

    I've looked into getting a capture card for this same purpose. Lots of old home movies on vhs. Look here for your card . If it's there, you should see good/bad comments on it's use. This card is alittle out of the price you mentioned, but if I was buying one, this is what I would get.

    Grand Theft Auto 4, Sin CIty !!

    DOH ! New Info from this site - Multi Theft Auto Update: We have received word from Rockstar. The title of the next GTA will not be GTA IV: Sin City. They did not specify the correct title but if we follow logic then we can conclude it is San Andreas. The release date is not correct...
