Geez, the first computer I worked on was a PDP 10 and you had to enter your program by flipping toggle switches.

Later, I used paper tape to record and enter programs.

The Commodore 64 with its cassette drive was a HUGE advance in technology!

I don't know if it's EXACTLY the same, but opera has singers called counter-tenors, who sing the parts that castrati used to sing.

It's a little bit shocking when you first hear one and they really seem to strain their whole bodies to sing like that.

Michael McElreeNice selection, but a personal favourite is the duet from the Pearl Fishers - Au Fond du Temple Saint. Preferably with Jussi Bjorling (sp?) singing - Magnificent!

That was the one I would have suggested. Maybe not the Jussi Bjorling version, though. Hee.

I believe that the BBC voted that duet the best song ever last December.

Another great Bizet duet is the duet between Micaela and Don Jose from Carmen, I think it's called "Parle-moi de ma mère!"

The Something Store would be a good idea if EVERYTHING was handmade, or had character to it. Instead, they’re just widely available (cheap, for the most part) products from mass market retailers.

I disagree with this completely. Who wants some homemade kitschy crap? If I wanted that, I'd just go to one of those "street fairs" that pop up every summer.

Here's the thing. And it's not just this video, it's all video and even a lot of major movies. If you are going to have music, play it when people aren't talking or keep it so low in volume that it doesn't distort the words.

Simple.

In the world of Sumo, Akebono is a god!

I knew of him a long time before I knew he was an American and that his name was Chad. Chad. It just doesn't fit.

:D

Akiro, how does that work? Would oil be a better thing to use for power? Coal? If there was a landslide and it blocked a river, would that be a terrible environmental impact?

I believe they are hoping to get an economy started and join the rest of the world. You don't build transmission lines first and then build power plants.

It also seems like exporting power would provide needed cash.

I don't know all the details obviously, but it seems to me this has a good chance of being a win-win. Unless you just want them to remain a fifth world country with no hope.

People, people! Nobody ever said that the Rapture was going to be quick!

They are taking them one at a time on balloon chairs. This is just the beginning. When the Rapture gets fired up, the sun will be blotted out by balloon chairs!
