Linkin Park - Bleed It Out?

Why is it that the guy singing in the urban voice sounds so smooth and the other dude sounds like he is MAJORLY CONSTIPATED?? He always sound so pissed off at everyone. I do not really like this song and it sounds rather sophomoric for them. Most if not all of their songs sound the same. The lyrics are really unimaginative and sound like a 3rd rate rap-metal act like Limp Bizket sounded later in their career. That genre is really played out and has been for years...

"Here we go for the hundredth time,
Hand grenade pins in every line,
Throw 'em up and let something shine.
Going out of my f**king mind.
Filthy mouth, no excuse.
Find a new place to hang this noose.
String me up from atop these roofs.
Knot it tight so I won't get loose.
Truth is you can stop and stare,
Bled myself out and no one cares.
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out to reach somewhere.
Yeah someone pour it in,
Make it a dirt dance floor again.
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in...

I always joke with my daughter and sing for the chorus this: Im sitting on the pot just wanting to flush it away!

They should take my advice...

Soren Kierkegaard "Quoets"

I am just starting to read a book about S.K. Here are a few quotes from him:

1. Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

2. Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.

3. People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

4. Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.

There are many others and i will be posting them as i read more of his work.

From Wikipedia:

Thought:

Kierkegaard has been called a philosopher, a theologian,the Father of Existentialism, a literary critic, a humorist, a psychologist, and a poet. Two of his popular ideas are "subjectivity",and the "leap to faith," popularly referred to as the "leap of faith." The leap of faith is his conception of how an individual would believe in God, or how a person would act in love. It is not a rational decision, as it is transcending rationality in favor of something more uncanny, that is, faith. As such he thought that to have faith is at the same time to have doubt. So, for example, for one to truly have faith in God, one would also have to doubt that God exists; the doubt is the rational part of a person's thought, without which the faith would have no real substance. Doubt is an essential element of faith, an underpinning. In plain words, to believe or have faith that God exists, without ever having doubted God's existence or goodness, would not be a faith worth having. For example, it takes no faith to believe that a pencil or a table exists, when one is looking at it and touching it. In the same way, to believe or have faith in God is to know that one has no perceptual or any other access to God, and yet still has faith in God.

Kierkegaard also stressed the importance of the self, and the self's relation to the world as being grounded in self-reflection and introspection. He argued in Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments that "subjectivity is truth" and "truth is subjectivity." This has to do with a distinction between what is objectively true and an individual's subjective relation (such as indifference or commitment) to that truth. People who in some sense believe the same things may relate to those beliefs quite differently. Two individuals may both believe that many of those around them are poor and deserve help, but this knowledge may lead only one of them to decide to actually help the poor.

Kierkegaard primarily discusses subjectivity with regard to religious matters, however. As already noted, he argues that doubt is an element of faith and that it is impossible to gain any objective certainty about religious doctrines such as the existence of God or the life of Christ. The most one could hope for would be the conclusion that it is probable that the Christian doctrines are true, but if a person were to believe such doctrines only to the degree they seemed likely to be true, he or she would not be genuinely religious at all. Faith consists in a subjective relation of absolute commitment to these doctrines.

USB 3.0, SuperSpeed!

You will need a new card for this because most MOBOs are USB 2.0, not 3.0 at the moment.

Revealed: USB 3.0 jacks and sockets

By Tony Smith in Las Vegas [More by this author]

9th January 2008 18:37 GMT

CES USB 3.0, the upcoming version of the universal add-on standard re-engineered for the HD era, made a small appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It wasn't demonstrated in operation, but we did get to see what the new connectors look like.

Not, alas, the optical one, we have to report, but the electrical connectors. On show in public for – we believe – the first time, we got to see the new full-size connector, the socket it slips into and the new mini-socket. You can see the optical port here.

The USB 3 connector...

...and in close-up...

...and in diagrammatic detail

Here's the socket:

The standard USB 3 socket...

...which you can see more clearly in this diagram

And, finally, the mini-socket:

Dubbed SuperSpeed USB, the third major incarnation of the serial bus standard is set to deliver data transfer speeds of around 4.7Gb/s - ten times today's 480Mb/s limit.

The new spec will be compatible with older USB 1.1 and 2.0 products, cables and connectors, and you can see from the diagram of the standard connector how that's achieved: the extra pins are placed behind the USB 1.1/2.0 ones. USB 3.0 connectors and receptacles will be deeper than the current ones.

An initial USB 3.0 spec is due to be reviewed later this month. The full USB 3.0 specification is expected to be completed by the end of June 2008.

Stupid Celebritie "Quotes"

The Daily Telegraph provides examples of celebrities' fad gaffes and what the experts say.

Scientists warn on celebrities promoting fads "I am challenging these evil genes by natural means. I am convinced that by eating biological foods it is possible to avoid tumours." Gwyneth Paltrow, actress "Diet cannot prevent cancer. The risks of some of them can be reduced with certain diets, but some cancers, alas, show no link to dietary factors." Ursula Arens, dietician "If you suffer from joint pain it is a good idea to cut out or reduce the amount of tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, white potatoes and paprika that you eat." Gillian McKeith, author "Some rheumatoid patients may improve by omitting certain foods from their diets, but this must be determined on an individual basis and a blanket prohibition is totally unjustified." Margaret Rayman, professor of nutritional medicine "Lots of skin products use the same petrochemicals as the antifreeze in your car." Stella McCartney, fashion designer "Propylene glycol is a very versatile chemical which is used primarily as a base in moisturisers, a solvent in food colouring, a carrier solvent in fragrances and in many anti-bacterial lotions. So it might sound scary, but it isn't." Dr Dominic Williams, pharmacologist "There is no conclusive evidence showing that the continued use of these devices is linked to any measurable and general improvements in cognition. Practice at any task should lead to some form of improvement for that specific task." Dr Jason Braithwaite, cognitive neuroscientist While presenting How toxic are you? on Channel 4, she talked of "lovely make-up and moisturisers which don't have any chemicals in them". Sarah Beeny, television presenter "Chemicals are everywhere and everything. To be chemical free you have to experience a total vacuum." Ian Mabbett, chemist
