For most listeners, it's not an issue, portability is much more important than quality. For people who are really concerened with quality though, you've gotta have a turntable and a good needle. It's sad to hear people debate the merits of various sampled formats. If they're really concerned with super high quality sound, they're in the wrong arena altogether. A majority of people who have considered analog have only ever heard  it in the form of the scratched up and abused records that their parents ruined with $5.00 needles. I use my ipod in the car and my turntable in the living room. They both have a place.

Eh, let the audiophiles believe their ears are capable of hearing the minute differennces that make MP3s so inferior. They may be wasting their money, but it's still money going back into the economy. :P

 If you're talking about digital formats (CD vs mp3), it all depends on the sample rate. If you're talking about vinyl vs mp3, any person can tell the difference, it's night and day.

Debating mp3 sound quality is futile. If you want sound quality, buy vinyl, if you want portability, buy an mp3 player. As far as masters go, only an idiot records in digital. Tape creates a pure analog of the session for both current digital encoding and future methods of encoding.

You fuckers are hopeless. DRINK, BE MERRY! IT'S A CELEBRATION BITCHES!

Congratulations to Barack and everyone who did their part. Let's hope he brings our boys home as soon as possible. They are the greatest and bravest people on Earth.

You're all worthless and weak!!

 Twisted Sister fan?

What percentage does Explorer have? Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh. You go back to your model airplane building you damned glue sniffer. I've got a wax box of Laffs Full House/Perfect Strangers/Family Matters trading cards to open here. Before you ask, I will not trade any Uncle Joeys or Cousin Larrys.

This Firefox should die of the SARS and rot in hell. It's just become an excuse for things not working with Explorer, which is used by everyone but a handful of dorks.

Lordjedi broke the internets again. Stop with the fucking cut and paste you god damn nincompoop.

We all feel for Laserman, but let's face it, Zion spent the lunch money on hand buzzers and nobody's ever gonna see this project in material form. I'm just being gay, but It's so true. This project sucks on Jar Jar while the Queen mother watches.  I wan't my money back. I could really use a wax box of Laffs Full House/Family Matters/Perfect Strangers trading cards.

I like to think of myself as a secret agent, on the road when other cars are following me, I will out run them, or turn off into an alley or something to give them the slip. And at work, when I go to make copies or get a drink from the water cooler, I like to pretend I am sneaking into a government facility and try to accomplish my tasks without being seen or heard. One time I was crawling on my belly into the copy/fax room, and my boss was in there, he saw me on the floor and he was all, "What the hell are you doing on the floor" and everything. It was kind of embarressing.

 Dude all of a sudden I'm a huge fan of yours.  You're fucking awesome, even if your not gay.

...if anyone, ignorant dicks like you who just post - save for politics - for trolling should be banned.

 bkev you are one grumpy old fart.

Can GhostAlpha26 just be banned? Whatver the hell he's doing is locking up the politics thread every time he posts.  I'm sure he knows what his stupid ass is doing.  He's doing some weird cut and paste or something. 

As a preemptive strike, go stick your Firefox in your ass.

GhostAlpha26 broke the internets.  He must be hanging around with Tiptup.  Can't see anything after his last post in the Politics thread.

No, Star Wars definitely hit its gay peak when we got to see Ichy Bacca beating off to a hologram of a girl talking "dirty" to him. That was pretty freaking gay. Then there were any number of other unspeakable acts of gayness that took place in the HS. Jar Jar, as much as I hate him, is way below that on the scale of gayness.

 What the fuck are you talking about?  Stop using achronyms.

This is just the brilliant type of insight that I was hoping for when I started this thread.  I feel much better now.  Clearly the gayest point was either the aforementioned Jar-Jar ebonics poo step, or the evolution of Dearth Gayder.  I stand corrected.

From the very beginning I couldn't help but wonder if Biff was one of Rob's socks, and now even more so.

 I now we disagree about politics man, but c'mon, my material is light years ahead of Biff's.

I come into this thread lookin' for help and all you've got for me is lite beer?!

 

Help with what?

The only thing I see you here is insulting others... do you looking for help with you.. not so big seeming ego?

 Don't listen to this guy Biff. I like your style, and I respect your moves.

I don't make monkeys, I just train'em!

Hey man, why don't you make like a tree, and get outta this thread.

After walking through the toy aisle at my local WalMart, and seeing some Clone Wars commercials, I began to wonder if Star Wars has officially reached the gayest point in it's history. You may think that I would like the fact that it has become soooo gay, but Star Wars is one thing that I would like to remain not gay.  Is it just me, or has Star Wars officially bottomed out now?

I already have a saviour.

Maybe he should run for office.

He probably wouldn't get past the primaries though with his checkered past.

 He wouldn't stand a chance, he's Jewish.

McCain is hilarious.

BETTER SOLUTION: Tiptup can just stop doing whatever the hell he's been doing.

Once a week or so, Tiptup locks up a thread or two for us Explorer folks with whatever he is doing.  We can see that the thread is still active, but can't see anything after that blank post inside the thread.
