I have played the keyboard (mainly Scottish music, NOT childish little pop songs) and piano for 12 years, and I am 18 now. Find my music (and some Internet comedy) at http://www.youtube.com/ScotsmanRS - add me as a friend and speak to me! It's fun! Interests include technology, languages, and some light philosophical stuff. To me, critical thinking is incredibly important - everyone should think critically about everything. Don't just accept something because someone told you or you read it. Evaluate it, think about it.

2 AnswersHome Theater1 decade agoKlasse gespielt - What does this German phrase mean?
A German left a comment on my latest YouTube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBIByQZWhjs - saying "Klasse gespielt" - what does this mean? Is it a positive or negative comment?
I'll only accept answers from someone who studies German or a German native - any monkey can use an online translator (and anyone with half a brain should realise that this doesn't work well).

4 AnswersNoël1 decade ago¿Es esta oración correcta?
I have recently started learning Spanish, and I want to know if the following sentence is grammatically correct, and whether the punctuation is correct or not:
Auque no crea que soy muy guapo, ¡me gusta creer que soy algo inteligente!
If it isn't correct, can I change "auque" to something else so I can use the subjunctive on "creer"?
Gracias.

Je suis écossais et j'apprends le français depuis 6 ans. Je voudrais vous demander s'il y a une différence de prononciation entre «j'essaie» et «j'essaye» (et tous les "-yer" verbes semblables qui peuvent changer "ye" en "ie"), et si vous utilisez tous les deux ou vous avez une préférence.
Aussi, s'il y a des erreurs dans ma question, n'hésitez pas à me corriger !

11 AnswersLangues1 decade agoAVCHD file format compatibility
I'm planning on buying a Sony HD hard disk drive camcorder which will record AVCHD videos. However, I've heard that AVCHD can be a little tricky to work with - is it possible to import them to Windows Vista Movie Maker to do some simple editing? Is it then also possible to downscale the videos so I can make lower quality copies for posting on the Internet?
I'd prefer free solutions, but if you feel it is absolutely essential, I could also buy some software. Thanks.

1 AnswerMusic & Music Players1 decade agoFrom where do I have to accept cookies to log in to Yahoo!?
I am using Firefox 3 and want to block all cookies and just put in exceptions for sites I want cookies for. However, I can't get into my Yahoo! account with these settings. I have tried allowing:
yahoo.com
mail.yahoo.com
login.yahoo.com
but even when they are all allowed, Yahoo! just continually asks me for my password until I give up and allow all first party cookies.
Can anyone suggest what I have to allow to get it to work with all other cookies disabled?

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoWhat free software can I use for pre-OS defragging?
Hi, I've been having a bit of trouble with my defrags: Piriform Defraggler tells me that I have about 37.5GB of fragmented data, mainly "C:\System Volume Information", and it just won't defrag.
Would anyone be able to suggest some freeware that I can boot into to defrag before the OS loads? Thanks.
2 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoBatch file to make a directory with the name as the current date?

2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoFile copy script over the network?
I want to make a simple script to copy a folder from my laptop to my home server whenever I run the script (from the laptop). I was going to just use a batch file, but the DOS box informs me that it can't work with addresses like "\\server".
So, let's say, for example, I want to copy "C:\Folder" to "\\Server\Folder" upon running this script. What's the simplest way for me to do this? Thanks.
1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoPractical benefits of overclocking?
I am a tech geek, so no need to give me any baby talk about overclocking. My question is, however, what practical difference do you get from those extra 5 or 10 Hz on the FSB?
I know that with the multiplier you end up with somewhere around 100Hz increase on the processor, but with the speed of processors today, would you say that I'm really not going to notice an extra hundred hertz? (I'm not doing any gaming, I'm talking more about boot time, time for the operating system to do basic tasks etc.)
