lovely

Future technology will never be as spectacular as u expect it to be

Technology evolves gradually so u hardly notice it.

Once every decade or so there will be certain groundbreaking inventions tho.
Like the internet or mobile phones, but these also need years to grow and people get used to them as they are growing.

Quote from senn :

is that from Freemans mind series?

i think from HL1, when hes about to **** up in the test chamber thingy

"Gordon doesn't have to hear all this, he's a highly trained professional"

meh the fact thats its a Russian missile, is almost dissapointing to me

- Claudia Schiffer (at a party from my aunts company (commercial shit))
- talked to Kim Clijsters (if "Hi how you doing?" "Good!" counts as talking)
- talked to Bertrand Baguette (currently testing for Renault F1, not really that famous yet )
- saw Tom Boonen in a club (the cyclist)
- lots of international dj's, though that isnt actually 'meeting' them

64 is enough ^^

Nice one Darryn And hi!

Im planning to buy a new car too somewhere next year.
And the Scirocco is among my top choices, together with Opel (Vauxhall) Astra VXR and Audi A3. Probably gonna buy a used one tho, haven't worked nearly long enough to be able to afford a new one
LFS might have something to do with it, but meh the car just looks awesome irl.

im on ubuntu untill my macbook pro arrives

cant wait for snow leopard

Quote from Intrepid :

It looks as if McLaren is going to be a full-on British team then!

Quote from tristancliffe :

I think most people still think Alonso is the best in F1. Who else even comes close?

alonso, vettel and hamilton, in this order
(my opinion)

after them, rosberg, kimi and button

edit: forgot about the drunk

This is a very interesting read regarding this topic, though I'm not sure if it's publicly available at the moment.

Thanks for that
very interesting indeed

The closest thing to a possible community where money isnt as important as it is now, is communism. And I dont think many people want that.

Money has become a very important part of the way humanity works, and it cant be removed. Same with religions, governments, public entertainment etc.. We all know we dont really need them to survive, yet we know they will always be there.
Its just because we are with so many people (7billion), who all have differents thoughts. Money, religions, governments bring together these different thinking people because they relate to their common needs.

These fundamentals of humanity can only be removed/changed, if humanity has to restart from scratch. Probably after a natural distaster or nuclear war where 95% of all humans are killed.

It will happen someday and we wont be around

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Most of these (except maybe Juno) are just indie rock--don't really fit the "post-rock" genre.

As i said before, who cares about genres
What matters is the gloomy / lo-fi atmosphere in the songs.

Some of the bands i mentioned have mostly more rockish songs, but i thought the ones i posted would fit this thread.

And indie is a very broad genre, afaik post-rock is even a subgenre of indie.

Oh well, most bands dont even know themselves what genre theyre part of.

Love post rock!!!

Juno - We slept in rented rooms
Modest Mouse - Bukowski
Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know? :expressio
Grizzly Bear - Foreground <3
Built To Spill - Nowhere Lullaby
A Weather - Spiders, Snakes <3333

Try to look for Duyster compilation cd's.
BEST cd's ever made imo.
Not all pure post rock, some indie / folk stuff. Some 100% instrumental, some with vocals.

I bet it's the same kind of people who voted to ban smoking in bars.

Quote from Bose321 :

Well, it's meant to be a Belgian one, but the way it is in the picture it's German, but the (american) who typed that in the picture wouldn't notice it anyways.

Nope, colours are in different order

Belgium = Black - Yellow - Red (left to right)
Germany = Black - Red - Yellow (top to bottom)

So a tilted belgian flag is not a german flag

i thought "tschüss" was more an Austrian thing

German is an official language here lol Only like 30000 ppl near the german border actually speak it.
So now the whole country has to learn it in school.

I voted blue, but i can see why other people think red.

If the string ends were tied to eachother, i would have chosen red. Im not really sure why, just a feeling. The string would have to be longer than the earths circumference (sp?) ofcourse. Maybe its because the gravitational force thats working on one part of the string, would be pulling back on the opposite part, and thus cancelling gravity. I also think the string would be spinning

EDIT: Ofcourse its impossible for a string which is this long and able to carry its own weight to exist. But imo thats not the point of this thread.

Im really interested in what the solution is now
Someone call a physicist!

Quote from Gnomie :

Yep. As much as I agree with Obama's intentions and all, I don't think this was a very wise decision. Also TBH I'm not sure Obama appreciates it too much either. It could tie his hands regarding Afghanistan, for example...

The Nobel committee has chosen some pretty surprising laureates the past few years. And to be honest I don't quite understand why this prize gets so much attention. There's just five people on the committee, all appointed by the Norwegian parliament. I don't see why these five people are qualified..

norwegian? :s

i thought alfred nobel was swedish..

nope... a bowl of peanuts tho

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Does it come with a flake in it?
