General Random Discussion for things relating to anything

[gopobox]

I've done half a year of study of Japanese and I can tell you that Japanese is NOT a tonal language, hence one tone, same as English, Chinese on the other hand is a tonal language.

dialects are not tones, but rather different mannerisms and ways of saying things.

If dialects were tones than chinese would be screwd.

Its bad enough as it is.

In english u change ur pitch or tone to make senteces into questions.
Like in the movie anchorman, they add a question mark to the end of a sentence.

So he asks 'stay classy san diego?' He raises his pitch at the end of the sentence so people think its a question.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_(linguistics)
In the most widely-spoken tonal language, Chinese, tones are distinguished by their shape (contour), most syllables carry their own tone, and many words are differentiated solely by tone. Furthermore, tone tends to play almost no grammatical role

EDITEDIT: just went back to the beginning and read a little about this thread I have been neglecting

There's a lot of things about the whole "Big Bang theory" (ugh...) that annoy me.

Oh! A random load of particles that appeared out of nowhere suddenly exploded from the size of a pea into a roarzillion other things and thus formed Galaxies, Solar Systems, Stars, Planets and other weird space stuff! While that is possible (I've read one theory on how the Universe expands and decreases), I have trouble believing it. I've also seen theories based on multiple Universes. Blows thy mind.

There's always a question of "Where did it come from", the only thing that makes sense to me is that space is simply eternal. It doesn't end, it doesn't start; it's just there.

That's a highly simplistic way of looking at what the Big Bang actually says.

Not a pea; an infinitely small point with no dimensions.
Not only is it possible, it happened.
The universe isn't eternal, it had a beginning that we physically cannot observe and it will end at the suspension of space-time.
Big Bang does not cross out multiverses; in fact that's what most cosmologists think is out there anyway. We are but one universe in a staggering number of others.

 

[Browny]

Isnt it great thinking about how completely and utterly insiginificant our lives, and the sum of all human life ever is when compared to the scale of galaxies... lets not even consider how insignificant one galaxy is to a universe, and one universe is to the 'staggering number of others'

I want this poster, I've seen it for sale but never got around to buying it

[undead_moose]

Ant1 swap pc and ps3 and you would be about right

 

[Browny]

what...?

that wouldnt make any sense at all.

 

[undead_moose]

have you met pc gamers....

So far up their own *******s about pcs

 

[Ant1]

Well moose, i didn't actually make that pic lol in case u thought that.

I know PC gamers will always say how PC is the best, trust me i know a guy who always tells me how good PC is and how consoles suck.

But the thing is PC owners have a reason to be arrogant, the PC is extremely good, if it wasn't for the PC how would i play my gh3 customs!?
PS3 on the otherhand.... well i don't want to get into that argument.

 

[Nova]

You are so obviously a PS3 fanboy ant.

 

[Aussierob123]

PS3 is actually really good though, it's the most powerful of the three consoles but nobody really utilizes the power, it's not the consoles fault if the games are mostly ports of all three consoles / ****ty. (P.S. im not a ps3 fan).

the picture is right tho PC is overlooked, the GAMERS think it rocks but it is still overlooked by alot of people.

 

[undead_moose]

Ps3 is fine people just say no gaems because it isnt a sequel to gears of war or halo

 

[Yokai]

I like consoles because I like gimmicks.


I know I shouldnt. but meh.

wow god **** unreon. did you sit GAMSAT? what was your score?

I scored:
Section I Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences - 63
Section II Written Communication - 68
Section III Reasoning in Biological and Physical Sciences - 68
for an average of 67%.

This put me in the 93rd percentile i.e. top 7 percent of entrants.

it's not the consoles fault if the games are mostly ports of all three consoles / ****ty. (P.S. im not a ps3 fan).

I really hate getting into silly console wars; but

Wow 67 thats nuts. i only got a 60 but i still got into med next year so I'm happy. good work on getting into sydney, massively impressive.
