NinjaManDan21 25 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Oh yea i've heard Bose has great sound quality and noise cancelation. I also love the story of how the company was started!

pyrochild 363 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Bose is overpriced. Like Apple, it's good quality, but you're paying about double just for the name.

NinjaManDan21 25 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's not overpriced, just high priced because it's the top quality, for those that want it / can afford it. Take noise cancelation, other cheaper brands work great for their price, but bose is like you cant hear anything else! plus i think the fact that noise cancelation can be turned on/off is handy too! To each his own, i guess though. Right? Quote Sig Battle Wins: 5My Gallery | Smoke>Flames Tutorial~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

BoltBait 3,312 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 My friend has a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones. I find the sound comparible to the Sennheiser ones. However, I find the Bose at 3x the price and totally uncomfortable to wear.

To each his own, i guess though. Right? No. You are wrong. Bose is a far cry from "the top quaity." There are many companies that offer higher quality equipment, and a lot of it can be had for less money. Of course, some of the true audiophile gear can also be much much more expensive, too.

So true. I've been to a Bang & Olufsen store before. It was just me and my dad, so we convinced the sales clerk to crank up a pair of these babies: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beolab5 I've never heard such beautiful speakers in my life. Better than Bose any day. Of course, they also cost more than the average car... @Boltbait: Yeah, they are expensive. Thankfully I got mine as a gift, then turned them in 2 years later and upgraded for $60. So not too bad. Quote Placeholder, new signature under construction. Link to post Share on other sites

TheHowler 7 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Can someone post American terms after? I wonder if they vary from state to state... English Terms: (approx. dates) Autumn Term: September 1/7 - December 15 Spring Term: January 4th - March 30th Summer Term: April 26 - July 20th With one week holidays halfway tgrough each term.

david.atwell 290 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 It not only varies by state, it varies by school district in the USA. The approximate dates for a standard two-semester system are as follows: Fall Semester: Mid-August through Mid-December Spring Semester: Early January through Late May Summer school is rare for schools with that sort of schedule. Some school districts follow the trimester format, which ends up being more like TheHowler's list, while so-called "Year-Round" school sounds a lot like the Australian format that Sfifer posted. I went to a school that had a standard ("classic") two-semester schedule. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales.

Ego Eram Reputo 2,833 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Australia and New Zealand have submitted their proposal to host the Square Kilometre Array. The Square Kilometre Array will be the most powerful radio telescope ever built and is estimated to cost about €1.5 billion. The telescope will consist of several thousand dishes up to 5,500 kilometres apart, working as a single telescope and if Australasia wins the hosting rights, will be spread over the two countries with about two out stations likely in New Zealand. Each station will require about 30 to 40 dishes of about 15 metres in diameter, which will transmit about 160 gigabits per second to a central processing core. Hah! Only 160 gigabit/sec/station, chicken feed.... I'm hearing that the SKA will generate so much data that IBM are in discussions to build a new super computer just to deal with the information influx.

Here you're penalized for the contrary. Though word-restrictions only apply for Language classes, in other subjects you're pretty much on your own, but writing lots and lots is still implicity encouraged. It is penalized if you do go off-topic in History essays, for instance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D3T0N4T0R 0 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 ^ Good point. I've always wanted to learn to program. Not necessarily something too useful or anything, but something that could help build my knowledge a bit of how computers and programs work. But I have no idea where to even start. And considering I'm only 14, I'm kinda lost for thoughts on it. So, I thought some of the guys out in the PdN Forums might have been in my position before. Does anyone have any helpful tips?
