  1. i want to give my amp the most volts. that is a good thing right? Amusingly you asked the right question. By using witch instead of which you implied the answer. You don't need the voodoo or unnecessary extra voltage associated with them. It is NOT a good idea to over volt your inputs. Instead just make sure you have a voltage output from your headunit that is within the range of the gain settings on your amp (hint pretty much ALL of them will do that). Subjectively as always. On top of that Line Drivers are completely unnecessary unless your amps or inputs suck, so if you need them... As Tommy Boy said, "You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. "

    whats your major peng? associate's in Nuclear Power Technology; my bachelor's in Management isn't doing dick for me so I figure I might try out the family business Father was a navy nuke before getting hired at the plant, and my uncle also works out there; with the same bloodline as two of the most senior operators/training instructors out there hopefully I can get my foot in the door im working on a bs in physics. my university is located close to a nuclear plant outside Berwick,PA and a rather large hospital, Geisinger medical center, which is great for people getting a degree in Health Physics but im not very interested in that field. I have a BA in Physics, lol with a minor in Acoustics. No matter what field of Physics you do APPLIED should be in the word as your income potential and possible fits skyrocket. ALL of the super effective developers that I know have Physics degrees and not engineering. Not knocking Engineering. In fact I was supposed to go to Columbia for my Masters, made it into a 3-2 program freshman year but managed to be distracted by women, beer, and the college experience. I have mixed feelings as I am very pro-education, but regrettably I wouldn't be where I am today had I done that. Sales/Management is a better fit for me than any engineering ever would be.

    No game will teach you how to play. If you want to learn, start with classical. The real question is long term what are your goals... just looking to pick it up as a hobby, i'll continue doing it as long as its still entertaining to me. maybe it would be better to think of the game as a learning tool. the songs you play use the exact cords, etc as "real life". my dad has a classical (or acoustic guitar) in the house somewhere, i would have to see if it is in working condition but it might make for a better starting point then 300 dollars in gear. What do you want to play? My reasoning for classical is a bit unfair. It is by far the hardest instrument to play in the world in that regard, but it will make it super easy to play ANY rock song. I took classical guitar lessons from the time I was 6 throughout high school. I never really held any other type of guitar until 8th grade, but within a week of dicking around on an axe I had picked up more songs than all the other "band" members in our school and was put on stage a week later. It was super easy to make the transition. Throughout high school & college, I played guitar in a stage band (big band covers), a Metallica cover band, a reggae band, a classic rock band, all with never really needing to practice anything. A few bouts through any song and I was fine....the exception being Jazz. Holy shit is comping chords fast hard and nearly exclusively the reason I listen to so much of it. Everything else is just simple. A Jazz start is better with classical though as you really need the theory. Had some fun in college too, took guitar/piano lessons from Ray Charles's pianist. sounds like you got quite the head start on me with music. are big hands required for the classical guitar, looks like you need some ape hands to play that bitch. No. Some crazy ass Spaniards with dinky hands dominate that scene. Quite a bit ahead of everyone that I know in that regard. You've seen Ferris B's day off? Cameron's parents and mine were similar except mine had no money but had very strong beliefs on development.

    I haven't ate there in quite awhile, can't say I miss it either. The beer is expensive and the sauce isn't anything special IMO. Actually it flat out sucks. As Randy Moss said, I wouldn't feed that to my dog. I need to find that quote It was for some catered food in our locker room this year when he was being a beyotch.

    My issue is limited to how people are going to react to it. I dont think we need the added stress of people being against it. For some people its religous, for some its how they were brought up, and others its personal. I'll just say this man, its uncomfortable enough having to do a piss test with someone lookin at ur cock watching u try to piss in a little cup. Having another guy glaring at you when you hop out of a lukewarm shower beacuse there isnt much hot water, is not exactly the most comfortable feeling in the world. Hell its bad enough when people try and talk while in the showers add in someone meat gazing, and its just awkward city. I am not homophobic. I have been friends with a few homosexual men and women. Most of them were the most caring kind people I have ever known. Do I have a personal objection to serving with them in the military? No. Do I have a problem with them having a picture of them and their 'life partner' on their desk like most of us have the wife and/or kid? NO. My issue would only be is if they guys were bullshitting baout the chick they picked up this weekend and we had one of the homosexuals come up and start talking about slamming/being slammed by another guy. That for me is uncomfortable. But if we allow them to serve openly one of two things happen 1) We now have to FURTHER watch who is around when we have 'guy talk' 2) we have to endure they stories too........and I dont see that happening. J That is a societal problem you are describing. The US government and religious propaganda regarding our bodies has ruined our capability to be appropriately social. There should be no taboo about being naked, nor should anyone be ashamed of their body. It is so unhealthy it drives me nuts. Europe is light years ahead of us in this regard. The ONLY person that it makes a difference to is the one that is insecure. Why do you care who you talk in front of, who you rub up against, or who see's you naked? If you do, it is only your insecurity that causes this. J, this isn't a rip on you, but how we were raised. I understand completely your feelings, but the history of how those feelings were developed I despise. Our country is completely jacked when it comes to how we are so scared of being naked in front of other people it is just super unhealthy. Last week I went to a Roman bath. I went with our President, the Head of Engineering, and some others. Not all were straight. There were also women there. No one stared, no one was uncomfortable and no one was wearing clothes. Completely natural to them, but I can guarantee that I am pretty much the only American in my company that would have felt okay in that situation. I promise NOT to raise my son to be scared of his body and will condemn those that do. My issue is limited to how people are going to react to it. I dont think we need the added stress of people being against it. For some people its religous, for some its how they were brought up, and others its personal.

But if we allow them to serve openly one of two things happen 1) We now have to FURTHER watch who is around when we have 'guy talk' 2) we have to endure they stories too........and I dont see that happening. J Question is... What stops them from looking already? When you sign up they don't ask if your straight or gay.. they tell you to keep it to yourself.. Just because you're not out... doesn't mean you're not in the military.. 1) Navy, part of paperwork is saying your not gay, never have been and never will be. So in all actuallity it is there on one branch. 2) Your right it they are serving and not out. The problem is when its allowed whats to stop them from making comments, or making people uncomfortable? If they dont segregate the straight showers from the gay showers, it has the potential to be as bad as if they had co-ed showers. I know that makes me sound homophobic, but I'll be damned if I havent learned alot about people's view points since I have been in. I guess my main point is, if I cant get a look at the hott females getting naked to get in or out of the shower, then why can the gay guys get a view of my ass and or cock? J You do realize it only bothers you because you let it. I could care less who see's me naked, it won't make me want to change what I like. And if it makes the looker happy, then so be it. Be happy. Honestly, Its not a personal bother. I realize the way I explain things seems to come from a 'personal' standpoint, but in all actuallity it stems from a 'work' perspective. I know how people I am around through work are uncomfortable with it. They see problems with it. One of the main problems is logistics. Think about is, not every state allows gay marriage. Not every state will honor a gay marriage certificate. As such how can the military allow gays to be married as the federal government has left it up to the states? Also what about rooming, do we move all the homosexual men and women into a seperate building, wing, or floor? If so that is discrimination. The shower issue is beacuse in the military a decent percentage of women are lesbian and do make a big fuss to check out other women. Gay males have a tendancy to do the similar if not the same thing. It is not a 'homosexuals wide' thing but it does happen rather frequently here. Basically, I just see it causing more issues than it is going to end up being worth. If they allow all coed rooms, showers, and pissers THEN we can call it equal. Yes I am saying I am a dirty mother fucker and want to sneak a peak at some of these women's tits. And if she would let me I would!!! Call me crazy, not rational, or whatever else you want but to me this couldnt of come at a worse time for our military. The troop level is already stressed out over deployments, salary vs worth ratio, people losing their families, and losing best friends. Adding in a topic as Taboo as this will not help. Also to the guy who brought up the higher brass, the commadant of the Marine Corps has publically said 'We will need time to build them seperate billets. The straight Marines will not willingly share a shower nor a room with a openly homosexual person'. Is that close minded of them to segregate? Yes, but is it fact that there will be many issues? You bet you ass there will be. J You missed my point entirely. It is a societal problem and it is sick that the US is so full of shit in how we force stuff on each other. Our implied morals and work ethic can bite me. This country used to be great, but is really quickly going down hill and it is 100% the problem of the people. We need less suckage.
