I think I got this one Kobi,
It was Barney, who killed Professor Plum in the Library with the Candlestick!

How'd I do?

 

Dear Kobi,

Why are spandex shorts and pants made in Plus Sizes?

Why do we press harder on a remote control, the get up and point it inches from the TV, when we could just reach up and push the button on the TV and we know the batteries in the remote are dead?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but feel the need to check when you say the paint is wet?

Why do they use sterilised needles for death by lethal injection?

Are Toranados Gods way of saying that he hates trailer parks?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a gun at him?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

How many regular parking places are there at the Special Olympics?
(Think about it for a minute)

If a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?

What level of importance must a person have, before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?

If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches?

 

Dear Kobi,
I'm tired of my Samsung A900. It's getting beat up, battery life is sucking, and so is its signal, and its only a year old. I'm thinking of getting the Samsung Upstage. Any thoughts?

 

You failed and my guess is you would fail even if you tried.

 

and

Hey D -

While Kobi™ drinks plenty of the Apple Juice™, he's not totally brainwashed. Now somehow, Kobi ™ seems to remember the wizards at Apple once claiming that AAC was indeed a lossless format. Is it? Of course not. And now, there is Apple Lossless, which is some form of MP4 or something . . . and maybe the idea that AAC is lossless has something to do with the fact that Apple's Lossless (which is actually .m4a) uses the same file extension . . . AAC. And also, seeing the AAC file extension may not actually be AAC, but in fact .m4a

Confused yet?

And about that Apple Juice . . . is the .m4a lossless format REALLY lossless? I wouldn't bet my life on it. Any form of compression is just that . . . compression. Which means it isn't the whole thing.

This is why Kobi™ has given up on digital technology and insists that whenever he listens to music, that the actual band/singer/whatever be brought in and perform live and in person. This can get costly but trust me, it's worth it.

Kobi will have The Who at his place next week (along with the London Philharmonic) performing Quadrophenia. How cool is that?!?!

As for those headphones . . . just be careful, those damn things can harm your hearing. Kobi is interested in how your silver/copper hybrid v. all copper came out. (The smart money sez there will be no perceivable difference . . . of course, the smart money said there would be no appreciable difference McIntosh and Rotel et al., and look how that turned out) . . .

 

Damn dude . . .

This thread goes missing for 10 months and what . . . you've been saving questions?!?!?!

Pick one. I'm not the Costco of know-it-alls.

 

Kobi uses the A900 and he likes it. When we first got it, it came with all of its capabilities activated and so we were able to watch TV, text message, surf the web, listen to music, and God only knows how many other useless functions. After the trial period was over, we let it revert to the only reason we bought it for . . . a PHONE. The only reason the A900 was purchased was because it was thin and small.

As for the "Upstage" . . . meh. It looks cool but honestly, a phone is a phone. All that other BS is just that, BS. If you want to hear music, get a dedicated music device (iPod), and use the phone as a phone. These days, it seems to be all about technology for the sake of technology and seeing how much stuff you can make a single device do. Vonnegut referred to this as a "blivit", which is 2 pounds of s*it in a 1 pound bag. Instead of the device doing one thing only and that one thing being done well, we have a device that does dozens of things, and NONE of them done well.

If the device has all these functions, do you really think it's going to be stellar in its performance? Most likely not.

So find a phone that is just a phone and use it as such.

And for God's sake, don't be yakking on the damn thing while you're driving (unless you have a bluetooth headset). Leave the damn phone off while you are in the car. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

 

What a disappointment...... I have to choose???? man they are all good and I'd really be interested to hear the answers.

Ok lets try this one.


Dear Kobi,
If a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?

Thanks






(If by chance, I ever find myself in this situation, it might be nice to know whether to go into counselor or negotiator mode until proper help arrives.)

 

What makes you think that all four personalities can't exist in one? It could be hostage, bad guy, negotiator, and consoler all in one . . . and wouldn't it be interesting if it was you? Think about this, your question - and subsequent statement - assumes you are a separate entity form the person with DID. For all you know it could be you . . . and you and you and you.

So maybe you better think about this, make sure it's not you that is in fact them.

After you figure that out, get back to me.

 

In reality is should be called "darn close to lossless". A 45MB lossless file vs a 4MB AAC... trust me, there is a difference to the ears. ABIG difference. And thanks to this darn headphone amp and hifi headphones I can no longer accept the sub-par quality of 160/192/256kbps AAC/MP3 files. The equipment has become better than the source forcing me to find a better source (sound familiar?!!).

First, it is very cool. Second, our chief engineer here feels the same way. He changed his tune toot-sweet once he listened to lossless ripped CDs played via the iPod through the Ray Samuels Hornet into some Sennheisers. Me thinks you will too.

Well my friend... after a couple hours of evaluation last night, I've determined my all-copper cable blows. To the guy that says cables don't matter... I offer up a quiet room and my headphone setup. The hybrid (and smaller gauge wire) cable simply spanked it. The hybrid offered greater detail & much larger sound stage. Strings 'twanged' with a natural echo, drums were much tighter and lively, and the sound was pushed out another foot from my ears. Now I must purchase and evaluate a cotton insulated all silver interconnect that is supposed to offer an even broader sound stage and crisp highs... yeah, just put it on my tab!

 

I have a few questions for the master:

How fast can a cheetah run?

Can Chuck Norris make a boulder so big he himself could not round house kick it into oblivion?

Why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?

What if God were one of us, just a slob like one of us?

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

and finally, How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

 

I'm no kobi but following basic logic you would never reach death. Half of half is never zero, in this case death.

 

Hmmm, thanks Kobi I will have to counsel myself on this.

Of all disorders that would be the best one to have IMO. You know what they say, 4 heads are better than one!
It's always a party and your never alone, plus you can truely get to treasure your own company.

 

You've been split for 5 days and you're already having pointless hookups? I better get my act together.

 

You have to understand that his idea of pointless hook ups is making eye contact with a girl he meets while walking down the street.
