  1. He was a man that loved subwoofers and his passion was bass. He was known for making the Beast and helped with TC Sounds Beast II that Michael Hurd replicated. His "beast" was also the inspiration to make my mini beast version II which is just 1/2 the TC Sounds Beast which used two TC Sounds LMS 5400 and 4 Passive Radiators. The memorial service for my father will be held on Saturday May 25th at 10AM at Strode Funeral Home Chapel. We will be having a potluck wake at the house mid-afternoon that Saturday. The wake is BYOB. The obituary will run in the Stillwater and Payne papers on Wednesday May 22nd. Anyone who is interested in memorializing Deon Bearden is more than welcome. We would love to have all the friendly f aces and warm hearts that are possible Also, if anyone is interested in speaking at the Memorial Service please contact me via facebook messaging. Spread the word! Also, in lieu of flowers contributions to the Bearden Family Memorial fund are being accepted. If you would like to make a donation please contact either I or ... If anyone would like to contribute I can get you in contacts with the appropriate family members
  2. That's a silly argument. Most Chinese food that Americans think is Chinese food is Americanized Chinese food. And yep Google is trying to neuter religion by not posting easter bunnies and eggs.
  3. Ha! come over to the bs section and I'll show you a thing or two!
  4. Of being principled? And logical? And shut yer pie hole!
  5. Welcome to America the land of the supposed free. And where people paid with the price of their lives so you and I can speak freely and not face persecution from the government. As for religious bashing, yep I was bashing pagans. Prove me wrong with what the easter bunny and egg represent. Its a pagan tradition not a Christian one. That was matter of fact knowledge, no christian bashing involved. http://christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-t020.html As for the gay marriage movement, I just want to make sure that he was principaled in his decision to boycott google. If he truly wants to be a man of his word he should make sure that he does not inadvertantly own any google shares. Just as the CEO of Starbucks had to remind the shareholder that he has a right to sell his stocks. In before deletion Remember be principled

  7. First the easter bunny and eggs are a pagan tradition and if anything is disrespectful to the christian easter. Any Christian should not really allow for egg hunts and easter bunnies. Second Google has great tools that 95% of users never use because they don't understand them Third if you really are boycotting Google then make sure to call and make sure your 401 k or mutual fund does not own any shares of google as per CEO of Starbucks defending their decision to defend gay marriage. During the company’s annual meeting in Seattle last week, shareholder Tom Strobhar spoke up, suggesting that the boycott was affecting the company’s stock value: “In the first full quarter after this boycott was announced, our sales and our earnings — shall we say politely — were a little disappointing,” he said. Schultz shot back that Starbucks’ endorsement of marriage equality wasn’t bad for business: “If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38% you got last year, it’s a free country. You can sell your shares of Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much,” Schultz said, to applause from the audience.

  8. Relax, Merkin, not a problem. Beauty and pride are in the eye of the beholder...in this case me. Certainly the compressed video doesn't do the babe in green justice, but, of course, I have access to a much better view. Dave 720 p or 1080 p ? I kid
  9. How to tell non tech savvy versus tech savvy. Bing versus Google.
  10. That's his wife............ please for the love of anything remove before he sees.
  11. don't know whether this is a trap or a trap.

  13. Very interesting........The new Internet Explorer 10.0 gets a lower rating than the Firefox 19.0. chris Is there a good comparison between browsers somewhere? I refuse to "upgrade" to MS's latest. Looks like the choices are Chrome or Firefox. I think that I will have to use Firefox as I am hoping to convert to all Linux Mint based computers when MS finally pulls the plug on XP. Firefox is you like forum based websites and such. Chrome for security. Both are fine for "ahem" privacy settings. IE not even once. Remember Firefox is actually community based and actually non profit.
  14. Yes but now we have to club you like a baby seal 8-) Come here Mallette
  15. Ok Dave, I give, PAW? http://www.acronymfinder.com/PAW.html Person at work I assume.
  16. Apple has always disliked flash after a fight with steve jobs I believe. Flash is not capable on ipods,ipads, and iphones. To watch youtube which is flash based you need download an app. You click on the link and it opens up the youtube app. Android is also starting to no longer associating with flash. I remember Android is supposed to drop flash in the next update. Or at least not support it. Flash is fine on most real computers but if you have watched of late, operating systems are basically dead outside of osx and android. Windows 8 is a failure.
  17. christopher is correct. I really think if Nasa wants to promote their stuff youtube would be much better and broader audience, hell even if posted on TED would get more publicity. And flash is nearly dead.
  18. I assume you want an external hard drive? Would you rather a laptop external hard drive or a traditional 3.5 inch hard drive. The laptop hard drive can be powered only by the usb cord (one cord for power and data transfer) while the 3.5 inch needs to be plugged into the computer and wall. The 3.5 will be faster though as its 7200 rpm versus 5400 unless they put a hybrid in there. You need to read the specs. Also how about trying two different companies? I have had luck with western digital and seagate for the most part. I don't non hard drive companies selling external hard drives.
  19. Well glad you took some of the advice. I think if you could you should buy two terabyte or more hard drives. Keep them in separate places. Also given that cds are 800 megs a piece or less you are down to 293 - ~120 gigs you will be down to ~173 gigs or from your 583 gig (true space) to ~29% space left. Thats fine and dandy but add a computer game or two and your computer will slow down a lot. With photos, I suggest that you upload them to a cloud system such as google + or even facebook (just set the album privacy setting to only allow you to see them) They may not be the best format or full size but at least you can still have them in case your computer/camera/etc goes bad. You can even upload them easily to sites such as flicker tumblr or I prefer imgur. SD Cards get lost, formatted, or fail.
  20. You can't send yourself 10000 songs. First wav files are much bigger than compressed files and most emails limit to 10 megs a song. Second I would suggest cloud storage but most cloud storage for storage reasons do not allow for wav files or will automatically compress wav files to mp3 or thus negating all the work you just did. (What cloud service does is it matches similar files other customers put up and marked it as yours so there is really one file that everyone streams or redownloads instead of a 1000 of the same file on the same server taking up 1000 slots that could be marked down to one. This is somewhat similar to what mp3 does as well. A sony vaio is fine. Well I never brought one and they are not great or bad (usually expensive) but I have no idea what hard drive they contain unless you look at the innards. Is it a 7200 rpm or 5400 rpm? Do you have the specs around? And as I said Laptop hard drives do not have the same reliability as desktop models due to shock, vibration, coffee spills etc that all come with laptops and their inherent risks. Another issue you might want to consider is are you always going to update? Most people say yeah I am going to backup my computer monthly. Yeah that's nice in theory but in reality people forget and its a year already. The computer fails and you say well I have a backup. Guess what, the file you really need was saved 5 days ago and you lost now 1 year worth of photos and music and video you will never be able to recover. You say oh well I will keep the backup always on my computer now its attached to the laptop and running. It is wearing down with the same time as your laptop hd. Also remember that heat is the biggest issue with hard drives. People cram them in airless spaces or whoops did the dog just run into the cable and pull the laptop and your backup with it to meet its doom by crashing into the floor? Uh oh! Or if a power surge hits both systems are now down. And of late with freak storms, okay my backup is in the basement. Did the basement just uh oh flood? Okay did you put it in an watertight case like a Pelican or waterproof safe, now the issue of did I remember to update it this month comes around. Another thing to take issue, many hard drive companies are based in Thailand and in 2010/2011 they had massive flooding and hard drive prices went up while reliability went down. Seagate used to be a good company with the best waranty but remember they do not cover the cost of recovering the data. They will send you a refurbished drive as a replacement. Honestly I say keep the cds. In fact do what you are doing rip them and put them in a caselogic case (they hold up to 500cds or so with the artwork cases can be brought) and then put them in a pelican case or an water tight case in case of flooding. Then you don't have to rebuild your music list incase a flooding or so happens. I am honestly buying used cds from amazon and amazon prime gives me free shipping (I pay about 3-4 dollars a mint cds) and rip them to my computer even though I have other means of downloading them even in FLAC. BTW how many cds do you actually have? Whats the approximate size of all of them now?
  21. And attorneys can accurately judge the worth of a human life? Nice... If you want to be truthful and cynical, pretty much. But then again are they better than the medical community?
