I'm 1607 (OK, make that 1606) posts away from 2000. ASK ME ANYTHING!!!!!!

[aePrime]

Ha!

[suzbaby]

1. Let's start from the beginning then.

How was your childhood?:D

[aePrime]

2. Very magenta

It could have done with more green.

[suzbaby]

5. A sphyncter says what?

[aePrime]

8. What?

;)

[ZombieNixon]

3. Ha Ha!

Where'd you get your username?

:hi:

[aePrime]

6. Long (boring) story, actually

Years ago I needed a nick for IRC. Being completely apathetic at that moment, I actually just hit random keys and got "aeija". This was later shortened to ae', because there was another ae online, and nobody could pronounce aeija. Eventually I changed it to aePrime, because it reminded me of calculus.

4. Given that a DVD holds 4.7 GB of information

what compression ratio is needed to hold 24 seconds of video?


Was hoping you could tell me, since I can't get it. :P

[aePrime]

7. NTSC? PAL?

NTSC is generally 720 x 480. It's definitely at 30 frames per second. PAL would be 25 FPS, and film 24.

So 24 seconds of video at 30 fps would be 720 frames. So each frame can, in theory, take up 6.68 megs.

So, in short, I don't have a clue.

9. LOL.

:rofl:

Now, that's an inventive topic subject. Good going. You made me click.

[aePrime]

17. Hi

:)

[Jamastiene]

18. Howdy.

:D

:hi:

[Why Syzygy]

10. Anything?

[aePrime]

14. Sure!

But I don't gaurentee valid answers! :evilgrin:

[Why Syzygy]

20. What's the big caboose with post counts?

I enjoyed every moment of my virgin year getting to a grand.

You don't? Or am I missing something?

[aePrime]

21. This was just a copycat thread

I've already been here for more than a year; I've been taking my sweet time. :)

I'm really in no rush.

[Why Syzygy]

29. That's the way

I LIKE IT. :yoiks:

[Shine]

12. Hey, I'm right behind ya, buddy!

Just 1600 or so more to go to get to 2000. Can't wait. :sarcasm:

:hi:

~Shine

[aePrime]

15. Yes!

I lurk a lot.

[djeseru]

13. Hi there.

:hi:


Just a shameless post toward working my way outta the 700 Club.

[aePrime]

16. I completely understand

Well, not from experience in the 700 club, obviously, but here I am trying to increase my post count. I've finally hit the big 400!

[djeseru]

19. Congrats on reaching 400!

And here's to many future emotionally fulfilling posts! :toast:

Hopefully, my next 600 won't take another 2 years...*laugh*

[aePrime]

22. LOL

Thanks! :toast:

You're actually slower than I am! 2 years to get 600. At my current rate, I'll have 800 in 2 years!

[childslibrarian]

23. Your favorite book?

I'm a librarian...

[aePrime]

24. Oh, good question

I'm a computer scientist, but I'll leave all of my favorite technical books out of it.

I may have to go with The Count of Monte Cristo. Sure it's 19th century pulp fiction, but I find it very entertaining. One of my goals in life it to learn French well enough to be able to read it in its native language.

Another would be The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and siblings.

[childslibrarian]

30. Good Reply

I like Hitchhiker too. And I'll leave my library cataloging manuals out of it too.

[aePrime]

32. So what's your favorite book?

[driver8]

25. That reminds me of when I was in the Navy and we all kept track

of how many days we had left. Some guys would start counting with three years left to go!!

[aePrime]

27. I should have done that with grad school

But who knows when I'll be out? It's kind of a soft deadline.

It'd probably be sooner if there wasn't DU to distract me!

:)

[Dark]

26. Can you buy me beer?

I'm almost 140 in dog years.

That's old enough, right?

[aePrime]

28. Technically, yes

but I probably wouldn't. :)

I've seen some scary stuff involving underage drinkers, and I wouldn't want to be held liable!

If we go to the right place in Canada, where you're legal, I'll buy you beer!

[UrbScotty]

31. How is the sanctity of your marriage?

[aePrime]

33. Good!

As far as I know.

The first person to reply to my thread is actually my wife.

[Texasgal]

34. Why should we all be "expected"

To wear undergarmets?

[aePrime]

35. That's a fine question

And the answer isn't pretty. It's a myth put forth by the undergarment industry simply to make money.

Right now, somewhere, there's a Mr. or Ms. Hanes laughing and rolling in a pile of money while going commando.
