It’s a laptop! It’s not a phone! It’s a 2TB laptop, with a half dozen external hard drives ranging from 250GB to 2TB.I’m just copying the files on the 2TB external. Long way to go yet.
Well what I meant to express was: how the bloody hell do you get to 48000+ songs?!?

Take a look at your own music collection when you’re weeks away from knocking on the door of 50, @AppleScruffJunior.
And I shouldn’t give the impression I have 48000+ songs. I have other hard drives. It’s probably over 200000.

Offline Yes. There is nothing on any of my hard drives I haven’t heard at least once. That said, there’s quite a lot I’m not queuing up to hear twice.

Offline This really pisses me off, unpaid internships. I have to do these for school everyday and it really sucks, especially considering I have some person who works with the company who’s giving all of the students in my school (which is a behavior school where everyone does a half day of unpaid internship) this program, who’s getting paid at least minimum wage to just sit there and occasionally boss me around, sometimes they’re texting their friends and they’ll tell me I’m not working hard enough. It’s funny because for me I was originally getting paid (although it still was technically an unpaid internship since the school system was paying me, not the employer) but then they took it away which led me to refusing to do work for over a month until they agreed to give me Wal-Mart gift cards. If you’re wondering, at least half of the kids in my school feel the same way (although I’m the only getting something out of it) and there are actually kids who will go to school for half a day and for the other half not go to the internship, I wish they just give us a full day of school.

The feckin’ hours on feckin’ end copying the back-up files to the new laptop so I can work out just what I’ve lost. Music alone is over 700GB – 48,152 items!
After a couple of hard drive crashes I stopped caring so much about my digital music files. Now I shove everything onto Google Play Music and often delete the local files unless it’s something I might want to listen to offline. I only ever power up our NAS box a few times a year, normally when friends need something. It’s nice to have, for example, the complete Purple Chick A/B Road (Get Back ) recordings just a few clicks away online, and not have to worry about all the storage space the files take up.
They have a 50,000 track upload limit, and if the song is already in their database at a higher resolution you get their version of it. It also means we can stream stuff anywhere from our phones/tablets/computers via the app, and even cast it to a stereo with Chromecast Audio. And it’s free! Works for us.
It’s occasionally not quite right when uploading rare/live tracks, but I’ve only ever had a handful of mismatches and they can be fixed. Then again, I’ve got a relatively small music collection (18,000 songs).

Offline Don’t get me wrong, I love The Simpsons, but there’s one moment where they really screwed up.
In the episode The Itallian Bob, we find out that Sideshow Bob has been living in Italy as the governor of a small town and The Simpsons happen to find him there by some coincidence where he decides to greet them with hospitality instead of kill them like he would’ve before, as long as they don’t reveal his past to anybody, however Lisa gets drunk and confesses that Bob is a fugitive which gets the people a little pissed off, but the problem is that they didn’t just stop there, when Lisa tugs onto Bob’s shirt, HE’S WEARING HIS F***ING PRISON JUMPSUIT which confirms it. This makes no sense on so many levels:
1. It is implied that he has been there for at least 2 years, as he has a son Gino that is able to walk and talk, so why wouldn’t he just ditch or burn his jumpsuit before entering the town or at least at some point while he was there.
2. While he is telling the story of why he came to Italy, he is seen with a short sleeve shirt on, implying that he has indeed taken off the long sleeved at some point.

3. Somehow his wife hasn’t seen this suit despite knowing Bob for 2-3 years.
4. How stupid do you have to be to know not to put back on a prison jumpsuit, even Ralph Wiggum would be smart enough to not wear it again yet Sideshow Bob is a genius, not someone like Homer Simpson or Ralph Wiggum so it makes no sense that he would put back on his jumpsuit.
5. You may say that he was planning all of this to happen but if you watch the episode you will clearly see that’s not the case.

There are lots of logic holes in cartoons, especially the Simpsons. I just try to ignore them. Ignorance is bliss except in the face of the law.

Offline Classic rock bands who replaced the guitar solo with sax solos, this is most notable with Billy Joel. I’m fine with this once in a while like how The Beatles typically used guitars for their solos but switched to a sax for Lady Madonna but some bands go overboard with it, here’s a classic example:
Great album with one serious flaw, Billy decided that the guitar was a rhythm instrument and therefore shouldn’t play solos, here’s the track listing followed by what instrument plays each solo:
Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song) – electric guitar
The Stranger – no solo
Just The Way You Are – saxophone (multiple solos)
Scenes From An Italian Restaurant – solo 1: saxophone, solo 2A: saxophone, clarinet, trombone, and tuba, solo 2B: piano, solo 3: piano, solo 4: saxophone, solo 5A: strings, solo 5B: piano, solo 6: saxophone
Vienna – accordion
Only The Good Die Young – saxophone
She’s Always A Woman – piano
Get It Right The First Time – flute
Everybody Has A Dream – no solo

Offline I just think forumpudlians are smart enough and creative enough to be able to express their ideas without using profanity in great quantities. I see the overuse of profanity as lazy. An occasional use of swear words makes them convey a stronger message when they are used.

Offline Just out of curiosity: How great is the real impact of swearing in English-speaking countries? In school, we learned that you should never ever use words like ‘f**k’ because it is totally unacceptable in society and considered as an obscenity. Not that I am intending to use these words, but I was just surprised by this fact because in movies they seem to swear all the time.
Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's
