  2. @gameboy152 Guys like http://xzicd.bandcamp.com/, for example. The whole crazy-language (http://www.crazy-language.de/) catalogue is pretty awesome, though only the last two albums are also available in CD-quality =/

  4. @gameboy152 That would be... so sweet. Though I wonder what will happen because I have a fair share of experimental music, and stuff like Noise...

  9. @gameboy152 So what else does make you nerdy?

  10. @gameboy152 Usually, your computer is set so it does try to boot from that drive first. if that is the case, it is enough to just turn the computer on with the DVD in it. Otherwise, you would have to change a setting in the BIOS. But never mind, it isn't as hard as it sounds :3

  11. @gameboy152 You'll probably have to change the boot priority from your BIOS.

  12. @gameboy152 You can download it for free and burn on a DVD. It really is worth trying - and if it is just to have a comletly bootable operating system for the case when yours doesn't boot any more.

  13. @gameboy152 Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distribution for the desktop.

  14. @gameboy152 Ubuntu can be installed without modifying your system at all, so that should be easy enough to try anyway :P

  16. @gameboy152 Most game design schools teach you how to use DirectX and so, which doesn't run under Linux, so that's quite a waste of energy if you really want to do that (unless the Linux market will grow exponentially enough to make those school realize that OpenGL is actually pretty damn awesome).

  20. @gameboy152 There are enough free music players that allow you to listen to music, especially for my platform (we have several called "Yet Another Music Player") and syncing with your iPhone should be possible, though sometimes a bit harder. I wonder what Operating System you are using, though. Windows? Mac OS X? (Also, personally, I won't let iTunes ever touch my music collection again after the mess it made once)

  21. @gameboy152 How to listen to non-iTunes music: Go to iTunes, Click File, then click Add file to library. Then pick the file you want and it'll be in your library.

  22. @gameboy152 Seeing how you use iTunes, I will assume you're not using Linux, so I can't really help you with all this "installing codecs" stuff (Windows has a codec pack online, Mac OS X, no clue) but the hardest step is finding high-quality files. Bandcamp allows you to download stuff in FLAC or ALAC, which are lossless high-quality formats (FLAC does not work in iTunes, ALAC does). I download and rip my music as FLAC, but both FLAC and ALAC (and WAV) don't use any lossy compression so you won't lose any quality :P

  23. @gameboy152 Normally what i get straight from disc. I do use my iphone for most music, it sucks cause of compression

  24. @gameboy152 Oh, cool, another non-MP3 user. Which file format do you prefer, if I may ask?

  29. @gameboy152 Apparently walking around certain areas of london with a red handkerchief poking out of your back pocket used to be a way to illustrate that you were looking to hook up with a guy.
