[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]What is facebook?[/QUOTE]

It's a site that links college and university students to each other. You sign up with your college/uni e-mail address, and then basically fill out the necessary information. You put a picture, your class schedule, your relationship status, your political views, your favorite movies, music, TV shows, and interests... and some other things. There's a part of it called "The Wall" which is basically the bulletin board on mySpace.

You can look up people by high school and graduating year, which is what a lot of people do to keep in touch. There are birthday reminders and things. It's nice and compact.

I looked up some of my closest friends from my old cities (before I moved). It's cool to catch up with them after many years, even if it's electronically.

Thats why I created a myspace account. Im going to keep it because I have friends who are younger than me also.

What year are you in?

[QUOTE=Neurotoxin]Penumbra Diffuse. It [I]just[/I] came out, I believe.

You really must check it out Bartender, because I know you enjoyed Sublimation.[/QUOTE]

Have they all learned about thirty new instruments, again?

I'm looking into ordering it now anyway. Thanks for making me aware of it.

Thats what I did with myspace.

My CD ripper is finally ripping CDs fast

I did that too on MySpace. It's still not letting me log in!


Login is temporarily disabled while we fix some database problems. We'll be back shortly. 2/8/2006

It's been saying that since around 2, it's 6:36 now.

Mine rips quite slow, probably around 4x.

When I had Musicmatch Plus I remember really, really fast burning.

I miss it.

I can show you guys a screenshot of Facebook, if you want, but it's going to be mostly whited-out and all that, heh. The description I gave should give you a good enough idea, anyway.

With mySpace, it just seems like millions of people are on it, as opposed to Facebook, where the population is restricted.

Yes, but you must admit myspace is much cooler....

Mine will rip fast sometimes, and rip slow other times. I caught it on good day so I'm going to rip as much as possible.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Yes, but you must admit myspace is much cooler....[/QUOTE]

I don't get the appeal of it, really. At least hundreds of crappy bands don't try to friend me on it. Sure, mySpace has some good qualities, such as... well, I'm sure there are some, just like Facebook does... but it's nice to not be inundated with annoying friend requests from bands that suck.

And my Musicmatch burner is starting to rip slowly all of a sudden... now, I use iTunes, which gives me 16x about.

I don't mean to change the subject here (not that I know anything about myspace or facebook :p) but what do you all think of my new avatar?

mmm nice. I use DBpoweramp mostly, but as I rarely am on a rush to burn/rip, I can wait patiently until it finishes.

Like all the classical music I've been ripping lately. Chopin is soooo heavy metal.

SF, did you ever get around to checking out that Orphaned Land album?

[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]SF, did you ever get around to checking out that Orphaned Land album?[/QUOTE]
I have the album but I haven't given it a listen yet. Will do ASAP.

If I only rip on CD I can wait but I want to rip my whole CD collection and put it on my MP3 player.

I have been meaning to pick up some Mozart, Fernando SOr, and Ferdinando Carulli.

I rip at like 17x speed, it's pretty badass.

I almost always use iTunes... in all other cases I use WinAmp.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]I almost always use iTunes... in all other cases I use WinAmp.[/QUOTE]
I dont really like to pay to rip CDs.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]I dont really like to pay to rip CDs.[/QUOTE]

That's why we have serials.ws (really spyware infested, but good for finding cd-keys) :thumb:.

I wouldn't dare open that site in Internet Explorer.

Opeth tickets just came in the mail Wo0t W0ot:thumb:

I wanna see them... I mean... they're with Dark Tranquillity! they're two of my very favorite bands. Too bad the only show in PA is in Millvale... where the Hell is that?

Screw you West PA... why can't they play Philly.

Opeth and Dark Tranquillity? Holy schit, that's a musical orgasm for me. :eek:

That really sucks man, Where do you live? It's worth the travel whereever you gotta go man.

I wouldn't be able to get a ride there, it's on the complete opposite side of the state.

Man, I feel for you, I live in Saskatchewan Canada where we dont even get shows to miss like you.

[QUOTE=^Dream~Theater^]Man, I feel for you, I live in Saskatchewan Canada where we dont even get shows to miss like you.[/QUOTE]
Plus you have Corner Gas. I pity you, that show sucks.

Watch it people. I may seem like a nice guy now, but wait until I get pissed off. I can be even nicer. :mad:

Where did that come from?

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Opeth and Dark Tranquillity? Holy schit, that's a musical orgasm for me. :eek:[/QUOTE]
I just bought my ticket for the show today.

[QUOTE=CocaineAndCrucifixes]Where did that come from?[/QUOTE]
From me when I said it five minutes ago.

Myspace is incredibly inferior to Facebook because of the vast legions of morons who find more and more ways to slaughter page formats with hideous colours, blinding fonts, obnoxious images, and terrifyingly stupid music/music videos.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Yes, but you must admit myspace is much cooler....[/QUOTE]

See above.

Besides, college kids > self loathing teenagers and weird old guys :-D

I'd go but that show is in London, Ontario. I cant get there without a drive, which proves a problem since I wont get a ride home. It sucks too, I mean, Devin Townsend, Dark Tranquility AND Opeth..

Only if you live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

My MySpace page has colours that are easier on the eyes than the default light background/dark writing.

Seconded. I'm sorely tempted to log into MySpace tonight and try to draw some hatemail from inarticulate emo kids and faux-Goths. Just for laughs.

That's why I use it, haha. I got some message notices, but they've been doing "maintenance" on my profile all freaking day.
