How many brain cells did the Black Eyed Peas use while writing Boom Boom Pow?

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:16:12 +0000

Seriously, WTF. WIth lyrics like "Gotta get-get, gotta get-get
Gotta get-get, gotta g-g-g-get-get-get, get-get

Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get
Boom boom boom, gotta get-get"

you can’t help but be reminded of great song writers like Bob Dylan.

i think they used way to many, songs like that i have a hard time remembering, if it wasn’t called boom boom pow i’d probably forget half the words! =( with disappointment)
what happend their good songs? like Where is the love and Fergie’s Losing My Ground??

The impact of the aging baby boom generation on the symbolic meaning of aging is predicted to?

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 05:37:51 +0000

The impact of the aging baby boom generation on the symbolic meaning of aging is predicted to
a. positively affect American’s image of older people.
b. reinforce the negative stereotypes American’s have of older people.
c. produce a split image between the "good" old and the "bad" old.
d. be negatively affected by conflicts with the younger working generation.

a.

But there is a mitigating circumstance that could affect it. If the "old" people are turned into the "bad" people because they require the money of the younger people, resulting in the anger and hostility of the younger people, then our moral and political system will have failed. The Fed owes right now 2.1 TRILLION dollars to the Social Security Administration, money it borrowed against the "old" people. How is it going to pay back the SSA? By taxing the younger people and/or by actually committing the horrific crime of turning the new Health Advisory Panels into Health Administration Panels like they have in England, panels that determine when something is too expensive, so that the "old person" must die so the young person can have it.

That would be a mitigating travesty of justice. I’m 55, I’ve paid in to the SSA, the Fed has borrowed it without my permission, actually against my wishes just as it passed the new health bill against my wishes. If some future Panel says I can’t have my meds, or my heart transplant, or that I have to go broke because none of the money I paid into SSA is available, that the rich government stole it form us poor peasants, then there is no hope for you when you get to be an "old person".

The symbolism would be reversed.

What caused the huge stock market boom in 1928-1929 and its subsequent crash in October 1929?

How did the practice of buying on margin contribute to both boom and bust?

Buying on margin affected the boom because people weren’t actually using their own money to buy the stock. Instead they were borrowing money in order to buy an intangible, and hoping that at some point the stock would go up and when they sold it the could pay back the loan. However, once the market started going down, people were unable to sell the stocks for as much as they bought them for. Thus they were unable to pay back the loans which they took out to buy the stock. This caused the banks to start failing because they were not making money. Which caused a run on the banks, forcing even more to fail because they had insufficient capital with which to lend, and if banks cant lend they cant make money.

The end is very brief, but the detail with the buying on margin is there.

Are the massive drops of interest rates & falling shareprices the start for a new property boom?

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:43:02 +0000

In Sydney at least, current conditions are:

- Sharemarket volatility
- Bear market
- Massive cuts of interest rates
- Few new housing constructions because of the recession
- Rental shortages
- Years of stagnant property prices (property bubble popped in 2004-3).

Good conditions for the next property boom?

Actually if could.

People have money they need to put somewhere. This happen with the tech bubble. The stock market went down, real estate increased.

Have you ever heard a sonic boom? How did you react to it?

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:03:03 +0000

I live in Orlando, FL. I just heard the shuttle come in and it makes TWO very loud sonic booms when it comes into the atmosphere. It is so loud that it sounds like bombs going off or Howitzers (Cannons) firing.
Anyway, I served in Iraq and have PTSD. I was not expecting the shuttle to come in today and it startled me a little. I was thinking that probably scared the hell out of some tourists at Disney World.
But how did you react when you heard a loud sonic boom?

The sound is a little startling, but very distinctive. Anyone who has heard it before knows exactly what it is. Taking the mystery out of the sound leaves little room for anxiety. I was having a late lunch with a large group of friends, many from out of town, when the sonic boom sounded today. Some had never heard it before and thought something had exploded as it rattled the windows in the restaurant.

How come republicans never cause innovative decades? Clinton’s Internet boom, Obama green tech boom and so on?

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:15:00 +0000

Obama’s boom is going to explode just like Clinton internet boom did. Even though the space program isn’t getting as much funding , it still all started under a democrat and future endeavors will more then likely be by democrats. Republicans never even think of anything greatly innovative because they are too busy giving money to their rich buddies in old industries.

The older Republicans look through their rear view mirror, instead of looking forward. They don’t like change, unless it makes them richer. They do like wars from which they can profit.

What will happen when the mining boom ends ?

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:14:35 +0000

What will happen to Australia when the mining boom ends ?

What will happen to construction ?

It might take a while for the boom to end – Western Australia is rich in natural resources. But if it does, I’d imagine the services industry would take its place.

Would a supersonic plane create another sonic boom when it slows down under the speed of sound?

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:58:59 +0000

I bet the question didn’t make much sense. What I mean is, when an aircraft passes the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. We got that down. But after it does its main flying and slows down to land, does it create another sonic boom when it reaches the speed of sound again while slowing down?

An aircraft creates a sonic boom for as long as it is flying above the speed of sound. The sonic boom stops when it slows below the speed of sound.

The boom is not a one-time phenomenon that occurs when crossing the sound barrier. It is a continuous phenomenon that exists for as long as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. On the ground, the boom is heard at a given point once as the aircraft passes, but the boom itself travels with the aircraft and sweeps the ground below.

The boom is just a shock wave that is produced by the aircraft as it moves through the air at supersonic speeds. The shock wave fans outward from the aircraft at greater than the speed of sound, but rapidly slows to the speed of sound and is heard as a bang or boom at long distances. Most aircraft actually produce two shock waves, one at the front and one at the back of the aircraft, and so a double boom may be heard if one is close enough, otherwise the two may blend into a single rumble.

What is the biggest boom you have ever made?
