There are tornadoes in Australia?

[MeatGrl1]

Hurting =,( !!!!

[CarylB]

There are tornadoes in Australia?


Welcome to the world Wario ;) We have about 40 reported a year in the UK, a higher number per square mile than the US, but fortunately ours are generally much less severe and more are probably reported because of our high population density (plus in the US I guess many go seen but unreported if they're not carrying a car!) They can happen anywhere except the polar circles

Caryl

[melon]

There are tornadoes in Australia?

Its not unheard of but very rare, no what we have going on here at the moment are cyclones.... not tornadoes

[GDW]

Cyclone same as Hurricane.

[AndyK]

Cyclone same as Hurricane.

Yep, just depends where it is ...

Hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones are different names for the same type of storm. A tropical cycloneis called a hurricane in the North Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, or the Northeast Pacific Ocean on the eastern side of the dateline. A typhoon occurs in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline. In other parts of the world, these storms are called severe tropical cyclones. In Britain, it's just a bit wet and windy, until the press get hold of the story, then it's armageddon ;-)

From what I remember from geography lessons .. ;) Cyclones are large wind systems rotating around an eye of low pressure, but not all cyclones produce the spinning column of air that is a tornado which is also of far smaller diameter, and generally formed over land (at sea they're usually referred to as waterspouts). Hurricanes are formed over water when a wet mass of air over the sea evaporates, may or may not hit landfall, and can cause tsunamis and floods. Tornados are usually created by thundertorms or by hurricanes when they hit land.

Doubtless Wiki will have many other versions .. :lol: but Wiki is only as good as the last poster.

Whatever the definition .. they are not restricted to the USA ;)

It's looking bad for far north Queensland at the moment. Cyclone is upgraded to a category 5 with winds of up to 300km/h expected to hit at around 10pm tonight. It will hit the area from Port Douglas to Townsville. Not sure how familiar you are with a map of Queensland but it is a huge area. They say up to 30 000 homes will be affected. Like they haven't been through enough with the recent floods, now this. My heart goes out to all of them.

[duke knooby]

is it true anything posted on facebook becomes the property of "facebook"

[duke knooby]

and how the hell is facebook valued? how does it generate revenue?

is there advertising on it?

[samurai7]

how does it generate revenue?

is there advertising on it?

yes.

[CarylB]

There's plenty of advertising on it, yes! Four at least a page on the right hand size, about 25 on a linked page. They charge for "impressions" per thousand (ads being shown to users) or "clicks" (when a user visits the advertised site). It's huge business!!

Caryl

[duke knooby]

good, it has a genuine revenue earner, though i'm still concerned as to the data aspect, is it true anything put on facebook cannot be erased... just hidden from view?

(and it is still valued suspiciously highly for just advertising)

[CarylB]

You can delete stuff or pages, and you can delete your account altogether, although people seem to have problems with the latter, mainly because Facebook deactivate the account in question for two weeks, and permanently delete it ONLY if you do not use Facebook IN ANY WAY during that period. So checking to see if it's gone will count as use, as will any action on other Facebook pages, or logging into other services using Facebook Connect .. which imo is a bit sneaky!

As to its being erased or simply hidden from view .. on the internet I'm not sure if anything is permanently and completely erased, or still floating in the ether if you know how to find it. Someone more versed in the internet may know.

As to it's "value" .. its real value will only be tested if it's sold or floated; but I guess the recent value put on it is based on its potential (as are most valuations of companies) plus it's an implied value really, based on its phenomenal growth and the recent investments of some $500m in it.

Its potential for advertisers is huge because so many people put so much personal information on it, including their interests, likes, activities etc, Facebook can analyse that and target advertising, which makes it more of a winner for advertisers than almost any other site selling ads; a massive selling point. That alone must vastly increase its potential value. (And is why the ads appearing on mine are so random! :lol:)

Caryl

[carole]

Yeah I've heard that anything put onto the internet is there somewhere forever. Even if deleted or erased someone with computer savvy can get it back.

Carole

[AndyK]

Just because you've deleted a picture form your profile on facebook (for example) doesn't mean that the file is actually removed from their servers. All you've done is remove the link to the picture from the profile. Chances are that each individual picture is replicated over a nuber of storage devices on the facebook servers to proivde for failure, huigher speed access etc etc. And data will be backed up to tape, disc or offline discs to enable a restoration of service.

So facebook will have multiple copies of that one file that you've uploaded to it's servers. How many people have downloaded the picture that you've uploaded too? There could be copies anywhere ... I've seen photos I've taken (some of which were only ever shared briefly on this or other sites) appear on other peoples profiles for example.

The only true way to delete anything is to have it physically erased from the hard disc that it's stored on, and then to have that portion of the disc overwritten with random data a number of times (7 times is generally accepted as enough to ensure that the data is not accessible to anyone. The backup tapes, discs or offline storage arrays would need cleansing too, which is much more complex.

The same holds true with your hard drive on your PC at home or your memory stick or your memory card in your smart phone. Just because you've "deleted it" and then emptied your wastebasket, doesn't mean it's really gone. Give me 5 minutes and I could have it back again :twisted:

[CarylB]

Just because you've deleted a picture form your profile on facebook (for example) doesn't mean that the file is actually removed from their servers.

That's what I thought .. although neither speaking nor understanding the language I couldn't have expressed the thought in geek :lol:

Just highlights the reality of the net and Facebook, which so many seem completely oblivious to .. and the dangers!

And as well as people downloading anything you put on it, there are also these endless daft "quizzes", where people who don't know you from Adam, and wouldn't recognise you if you came up to them with a large club (which some deserve :lol:) "answer" questions about you from a position of utter ignorance, and this rubbish too sits forever on Facebook around its many pages. It won't surprise me in the least if on the anniversary of my daughter's death I get yet another notification of a quiz someone has completed on me which answers the question "Would Caryl Burton like to have children?" with "Yes". There's a lot about Facebook I find sits on a scale between daftly tacky to downright and thoughtlessly stupid.

[MeatGrl1]

What a day, that was hard but needed to be done.. Why does crying take alot or most of your energy ?!

[CarylB]

Sometimes what we feel as exhaustion is more the emotional catharis we achieve. Also crying is a non-violent means of discharging distress (in itself a physically tiring process),and (sometimes unknowingly) the distress of previous associated experiences. Psychologically we can as a result make clearer sense of issues, present and past, and that too can leave us tired although hopefully sometimes wiser; but it's a learning process which consumes effort.

Also puzzling is why men who would appear to be adults think that behaving like children is somehow intellectually smart and hugely amusing. But that's a whole other can of worms :lol:

Not that I can remember. MSO would win by a landslide anyway. Anyone who voted for Bad Attitude Live would be shouted down because 'Meat displays more passion with the MSO,' a couple of people would insist that 3 Bats Live is the greatest thing ever because it reminds them of the shows they attended, one person would vote for Wembley '82 just to be an arse and then never reveal themselves and at least one person would claim all of Meat's releases to be equally as amazing and that they find it impossible to choose between them! :twisted:

That's because it is a TV edit! Why don't you make a poll? :cool:

It was recorded by the BBC, so that could explain it ;-)

The BBC aired a reduced version (the true TV edit, dropping a couple of songs and cutting the Paradise banter down to something that was deemed acceptable to broadcast on BBC2 in the 80s) of that which was released on video.

[duke knooby]

ah well, i meant the videos for the songs


top gear, on the news... not really shocking

[melon]

Yep.

Sweet, I'll have to give it a better look rather than just trying to drop it again & hope it works again!

I did that last weekend, 3 week old laptop, I learnt that doing this will shatter the screen..............

wouldn't recommend it

Yeah, I can vouch for that, it seems to stop it from working :shock:

that's terrible. all the best to their families :(

Actually thats a different prank all together. not the one here.

I didnt intend andrew to hate me like he does. it was a joke that backfired.

[Evil One]

It will all make sense. I swear.
It already makes sense. :roll:

[LucyK!]

actually it was. theres a point to me making people pissed of at me so when April Fools happens you'll really be pissed off. and then realize why i was acting like such a ~~~~er. It will all make sense. I swear.

and I love how Andrew really hates me right now. as long as its not taken too seriously everything will work out on april first in good fun.

I don't know if you're serious with that post or not, but if you seriously intend to pi$$ people off so that something is funny in two months time I assure you that is the worst move you can possibly make.

This is a genuine Meat Loaf forum to talk about genuine Meat Loaf issues - if you think filling it with made up crap is appropriate then you are so misguided.

it sucks that being sarcastic cant be reflected in text real well.

I wasnt serious. thats why i edited my post (look at my revised post). In actuality it saddens me to see what andrew said but I understand why hes pissed.

I wanted to make a great, funny, ironic april fools day prank to give a big middle fingure to the studios for not giving us more meat loaf live material. wa sgonna be epic. it backfired. end of story. I didnt hurt, harrass, or con anyone for their money. it was just gonna be a joke.

Im gonna let this blow over and im taking a good two month break for real this time. I have college to concentrate on, my new job, and my life in general.

deleted all the MLUKFC members/youtubers off my facebook. not cause i dont like you all, its cause I wanna seperate myself from here as much as possible. starting to feel out of place here nowadays. .

g'day. keep rocking y'all. Masculine is still the best song ever.

[Wario]

Im sorry andrew and everyone else who seriously hate me for the joke i attempted.

bye

[Sue K]

I hope this finds things well with all.

Gary Busey... I think the first time I ever saw him was on an episode of Baretta. He played a teenage hoodlum or something like that, if I remember correctly, which... lol ... I probably don't.

He played a good villian in the first Lethal Weapon. And he wasn't so bad in Predator 2. I guess I can pretty much call myself a fan of his work. It's a shame he's gone a bit whackaDoodle... lol ...

Especially if you've got glue all over your hand. :bleh: Hmmm, yes, yes this is true, but only if I let it dry..... by which time I would hope I had realised long before this happens.

Still not over the Ashes eh?
I will NEVER be over that..... at least until we win them back. The ODI series couldn't even partially make up for it.

[duke knooby]

its always a shame when a joke goes spectacularly wrong or is just plain misguided/not funny, (i'm guilty of both)

but its not the end of the world

but you gotta remember that toying with people isnt very smart, and wont win you many friends...

you dont need to be the joker all the time

[duke knooby]

and probably the worst advice you could get right now, is from me, but you've seen how your prank panned out, and youre not stupid...

(now i've made myself sound condescending and hypocritical)

[Wario]

(now i've made myself sound condescending and hypocritical)

actually you made yourself look forgiving and seem like a peace maker. thanks duke. im still taking at least a month and a half off. things need to die down.

why are you taking 6 weeks off?

and btw chris, your spelling is much much better when not in wario persona

[duke knooby]

did i need that smoke?


probably not :twisted:

it was a lighter test ive decided :-)

[duke knooby]

you dont need to be the joker all the time

and i forgot, alot of people have a lack of sense of humour when it comes to their meat...

[Wario]

why are you taking 6 weeks off?

cause when I get back this place will seem fresher if that makes sense

and btw chris, your spelling is much much better when not in wario persona

yeah, that persona is gone forever. Only thing that has a chance of staying is my love for masculine. cause I truly love that song. i was never joking or lying about that.

and i forgot, alot of people have a lack of sense of humour when it comes to their meat...

yeah. its understandable really

why the hell don't people waiting to pay at the tills, get there cash or card out ready to pay, while they are standing waiting thus speeding the whole process up?????????????

[Sue K]

I'm sorry to hear about all the troubles you're having, WarieL. I remember a few years back when a couple people tried an April Fools' joke here on the list, it went horribly wrong.

I haven't followed what led up to all the upsetment about your "joke". I hope things work out for you here. I guess I have a soft spot in my heart for you due to what I STILL think was such a nice birthday video gift for Meat and that you were nice enough to share it with us. Imo, it was really, really good and I could see the time and effort put into it.

Anyroad, I tried to PM you, but I see you either can't or won't receive PMs and I wanted to thank you for the link you PM'ed, but I need to download a program in order to view it and I don't like doing that. My computer is a bit hinky at best right now and I don't want to give it reason to bid me adieu... lol ...

Take care, WarrieL !

Peace.. t ... :D ....

dk ~ Are you speaking of at the grocers or something like that ? Omgoodness, I'm probably one of whom you speak ... lol ... Honest... I THINK I have myself all sorted by the time everything's rung up, but then, I'm using coupons and a store card for discount and putting part of the bill on one debit card and the balance on another and maybe I need CASH BACK FOR.. OMG..... THE CAB... AND AND AND... lol ...

I always feel SO on display and vulnerable at the end of it all ... lol ... I want to faint ... lol ... Thank goodness for all concerned I NEVER bag !!! We'd STILL be in line... rolling ...

alright, you can officially declare me stupid:

just bought a second (electric) fender guitar, though I'm hardly able to play the first (acoustic) one. Just for varying... and to hang both of them on the wall!

You should play it and batter it a bit and it will look like Bruce's Telecaster. :cool:

I assume it was about 300 to 400 €? Probably would have cost at least twice as much if it had "Fender" printed on the headstock instead of "Squier".

(the original idea was to buy this one (http://images.musicstore.de/images.php?src=artikelbilder/GIT/GIT0015/GIT0015567-000/GIT0015567-000.tif&tmp=images400&path=Pfad%201))

Pretty small pic. Jugding by the headstock, it's not a Fender. Japanese Strat copy? How much is that one and does it have a switch to make the humbucker sound like a single coil?

[duke knooby]

quite a few have been struck down by the stomach bug this past week in work...

i dont want it

[Evil One]

I find wallpaper to be a much cheaper wall covering. :weee:

[RadioMaster]

"You should play it and batter it a bit and it will look like Bruce's Telecaster. :cool:"

"I assume it was about 300 to 400 €? Probably would have cost at least twice as much if it had "Fender" printed on the headstock instead of "Squier"."

actually it was just 170€ (retail price 240)



"Pretty small pic. Jugding by the headstock, it's not a Fender. Japanese Strat copy?"

"and does it have a switch to make the humbucker sound like a single coil?"

no idea what you just said lol
the only feature I did test was the switch to mix the three pick ups.

The black one is a Fender CD60 btw, probably the cheapest acoustic one that sounds and also looks quite good!

[RadioMaster]

and just for the record, the second wall is gonna feature this art-print:

I hate myself for spending that much money, but I'm as happy as a little boy coming out of a candy store lol

I pass by a guitar store almost every day that has an old Pearl Les Paul for sale (about 300 €) and I just can't decide whether to buy it or not. Every time I stop at that shop and ask myself whether I should go in and just get the damn thing, LOL.

It looks like this (the one without a pickguard): http://www.gibson.com/Files/aaFeaturesImages2008pt2/Slash%20GT-2%20pic.jpg

It's one of those asian one's that every company sells under a different name.

79 €? Okay, if I just wanted to hang it on the wall I'd probably buy it but I'd never spend that little money on a new guitar I'm actually going to play. I doubt that you can make a good electric guitar and sell it for such a low price. I recently bought a cheap Strat copy (about 150 €) and it required some work and new parts to sound half-way decent. Best Asian Strat copy I ever bought was a Cheri (E Series), I purchased it for about 100 € along with a crappy old amp from a student. Excellent guitar, very good quality and sound. It was my first electric guitar and it's still my favorite one although it has suffered a little over the years. It now looks a bit like an old lady that used to be a beauty once. :))

no idea what you just said lol

I was talking about the pickups. The guitar in the pic has two single coils and a humbucker. Some models come along with a switch that enable you to change the humbucker to single coil mode.

Get a good amp and play your Tele, it's fun - especially when it drives the neighborhood mad. :twisted: ;)

gotta say to the untrained ear it sounded quite acceptable (the key word being quite). The thing is that it actually looks a lot cheaper in real life. The body and pickguard look more like plastic and all the switches also looked very cheap. I thought there wouldnt be much of a point hanging that one up on the wall.

The other reason I bought it was to switch from my acoustic one from time to time, to see how certain songs sounded on a tele.

Bought a rather cheap 'Fame' amp with it. Was testing the cheapest one they had (20€), but that one sounded more like a kitchen radio than actual audio equipment lol
