cool.

I'd sticky it if it didn't say Steam and Valve all over it.

Are you seeing a trend yet?

The trend could be... all part of an inscrutable and incomprehensible attempt at humor.

No. Wait. They're all old. It would make more sense if you arranged it cd player, photostation, pyramid. Perhaps its that they all start with "p". Player, pyramid, photstation.

Or they were all build with the aid of extraterrestrials.

That would be his point. The linked animation/video is old news. I saw it like... a year or two ago on albinoblacksheep.

And every single one of Genka's Mom's favourite music uses chord progressions that were originally developed during the golden age of classical music.

So what?

Getting high and mighty over the fact you've seen something that's new to someone else is pathetic.

I've never seen that, and it was definately relevant. I agree, though, that it's too branded to make it as a sticky here. Just bump it whenever newbie posts become a problem. Also, that CD player is cool.

Hmm, ok I admit it , I'm ancient . Thats not a CD player . Its a record player . You know, those 7" plastic discs with a hole in that held 1 track each side . Oh , just ask your grandparents......

Silly question of the day . How many grooves are there on a record ?

Cheers

Ah, yes, those were the days. Gas was only $0.25, but so was Kaopectate, and radio was still in black & white. That right there is a "45" and, if properly cared for, has two grooves.

Groovy, man, groovy.

Mwaha. Hare-splitting time...

Actually, it's rather a question. Are those grooves (1 and 2) approximately continuous (no breaks)? Because there sometimes are (intended) gaps on the record which stand out quite audibly. Also, the stylus travels faster across these gaps, but I wonder if there are actually breaks between sound grooves and silent (gap) grooves (my guess is there aren't). Wikipedia didn't help here, so if anyone has looked at a record under a microscope, I'd be glad to find out.

it's one groove. one groove per side. that would be the only way that the needle would travel it's way across the entire record (without human assistance).

It's a block of metal containing a cylinder with pins, that one might use to keep something closed... forever.
