It's been bugging a friend of mine quite a bit. She cannot pinpoint the vocalist who this guy sounds like. Need some help.

So, in your opinion, who does this vocalist sound like?

Hi there!

I just recently purchased a new computer, and along with it a brand new mouse - the G9x. Originally I had no problems with the mouse, but now I have noticed something extremely annoying. When I'm playing Black Ops 2, my mouse movement is regularly fine - no noticeable problems. However, when I go to turn my mouse quickly (as if someone is behind me) and my mouse moves too erratically for me to aim correctly.

I have tried changing my sensitivity - lower and higher - and even ensured that no mouse acceleration was enabled. The two possible issues could be my mousepad - which has worked fine in the past - or there's something wrong with the laser on the mouse.. or I'm just using it incorrectly.

Any help whatsoever is appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I'm a newbie when it comes to Internet connections, Wi-Fi and whatnot.

My current setup is: 2 desktops, 1 modem, 1 router; desktops relatively close together; router is not wireless, but runs on a cord attached to the modem which is attached to the other desktop..

My future setup is: 2 desktops, FAR away from each other

My question is.. how exactly do I setup an Internet connection on both PCs? My ISP of choice is Comcast. I've been told that having a modem/router connected to one PC with an ethernet cable (strong connection) and a wi-fi adaptor connected to another PC (weaker connection) is the way to go.

I also would enjoy having a connection joinable from outside devices such as an iPod/iPad.

Hi there. I'm customizing (not building; I don't have the means to right now) a gaming PC (primary use) on CyberPowerPC. I need some assistance, as, even after researching thoroughly, I still understand very little about several components of a gaming PC.

First off, here's my current build:

http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1F7W78

Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4670K 3.40 GHz

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Intel Z87 Chipset DDR3

Memory: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz

Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0

SSD: 240GB Corsair Neutron GTX

HDD: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III

Just wondering if there's anything I missed in terms of upgrading significantly for a cheap price or something that I can downgrade on for significant savings.. or if there's just a better build out there.

Alright, well, here's the situation:

I'm getting a new computer soon. I've used the computer I currently have for four years, and thus it possesses a lot of the data that I've accumulated since then (500GB+ music, 50GB+ movies, 50GB+ games). Therefore, I intend to use either an ONLINE BACKUP SERVICE or an EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE for a one-time transfer from my old computer to my new computer.

So, my question is: do online backup services provide such a service? Am I allowed to do that? It clearly costs less (assuming a one-month subscription), but I'm unsure of the reliability in comparison to an external hard drive.

Any input is appreciated.

I had been avoiding Leprous since their debut because of the harsh vocals. I simply do not like them. However, 'Coal' has given me a new appreciation for Leprous' work and I really do enjoy the album.

What is your favorite song off the album? I like 'The Valley'.

BQ: Favorite progressive metal band?

I've been seeing a lot of questions lately (trolls, mainly) regarding the current state of modern music, and its apparent grotesqueness. Well, many of those who believe this are living in the past, where classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and Pink Floyd, However, none of these artists are producing music anymore, but their legacy has inspired the youth of today, and subsequently some fantastic music often overlooked by classic rock lovers.

Gin Lady - "Rebirth"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF8IRCs_uNo

RPWL - "New Stars Are Born"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SgJpbxhgdI

Blindside Blues Band - "Lonesome Road"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPiLEn8Wwfo

Joe Bonamassa - "Don't Burn Down That Bridge"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOCJQ-QyaEI

Gov't Mule - "Blind Man in the Dark"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb6hwGkjJOQ

Just wondering what you guys think of this type of modern bands, that purposely mimic 'classic' bands while incorporating their own style.

BQ: Favorite modern rock band?

BQ2: Favorite 'classic' rock band? (Just choose a band from the 60s on that's considered 'classic', although I do realize the term 'classic' is just a radio term and does not dictate the genre of a band).

And what are your top 3 songs by them? ;)

Mine;

[Gamma 2]

[Voyager]

[The Four Horsemen]

[Cat On a Leash]

I actually have two!

I've been getting into the modern psychedelic rock/jam scene lately, and have discovered quite a bit of music that I would have overlooked if I was not a progressive rock fan. ;) So, I discovered a band called 'Earthless' and they produce some of the most mind-blowing jams I've ever heard. Another band that would be slightly below Earthless' level, but nonetheless still mind-blowingly awesome, are 'The Spacious Mind'. They both produce amazingly long jams and they're simply spectacular.

BQ: Favorite song by the band?

BQ2: What is your favorite movie of the 21st century?

As an avid progressive rock collector, I was recommended Porcupine Tree on numerous occasions. Nobody could ever sway me to enjoy their work, however. I was simply against the idea of liking Porcupine Tree, despite their position as "one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all time". I believe it was the melancholy of their songs.

And then one day my good friend Soshanna introduced me to a song I had not yet heard before by Porcupine Tree - I believe it was 'Wedding Nails' - and I loved it; as a result, I began looking through more and more material by them. Eventually I found that I enjoy A LOT of their live material (almost all of it) and a good chunk of studio albums. I now consider Porcupine Tree one of my favorite modern progressive rock bands (wouldn't call them 'favorite prog rock bands of all time' quite yet, but maybe they'll get there someday1).

So, R&P, what is a group that you used to despise but now thoroughly enjoy?

BQ: What is a group that you used to love but now despise? [One for me would be Green Day.]

BQ2: Who would you consider the weirdest musician of all time?

My favorite band is Pink Floyd.

My father showed me 'Dark Side of the Moon' when I was approximately 11, and wasn't too interested at the time. I went back when a few weeks later and found 'Animals' and somehow that struck me more than DSotM. Well, now that I'm 17 and Pink Floyd's my favorite band I am in love with the two albums and much of their material.

My experience was not as intriguing as I hope some of yours are.

BQ: Least favorite album by your favorite band?

BQ2: How long did it take for this band to become your favorite?

BQ3: If you were to choose either peanuts or peacocks in your bed, which would you choose and why?

Throughout the years, innumerable metal bands have paid their tributes to the late legendary vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Once he died, and of course while he was still alive, a myriad of cover songs have been released for Ronnie James Dio's work.

So, what are your favorite songs that other bands have covered by Dio?

A few of my own;

Adrenaline Mob - "Stand Up and Shout"

BQ3: Favorite RJD band?

BQ4: Favorite RJD album?

BQ5: FAVORITE RJD PANCAKE MIX?

Inspired by Elliot's question! :)

I haven't discovered anything "fantastic" in the progressive metal world for a good two months, so I hope you fellas can introduce me to something mind-boggling through your favorites-lists.

Here's mine;

ayreon - universal migrator part 2: flight of the migrator

guilt machine - on this perfect day

dream theater - train of thought

liquid tension experiment - 2

pyramid theorem - pyramid theorem / frost* - milliontown (both melodic prog rock/metal (borderline))

BQ: How's the weather where you are?

BQ2: Find anything fantastic musically recently?

BQ3: Favorite progressive rock/metal band?

Hi guys.

I'm on my quest to both re-discover old marvels and discover new marvels within the genres of music I'm mostly into. That is why this question exists and shall exist until deletion.

Please, name your top 3 (I won't limit you: name as many as you like) artists from the popular and unknown spectrum of the following genres;

Progressive Metal

Progressive Rock

Thrash Metal

Heavy Metal

Hard Rock

Classic Rock

Jazz Fusion

Stoner Rock/Metal

Psychedelic/Space Rock

Doom Metal

Post-Rock/Metal

An example of what I'm looking for would be;

Heavy Metal

{Popular} Dio || Judas Priest || Iron Maiden

{Unknown} Riot || White Wizzard || Alice Cooper

Thanks!

BQ: What's your favorite genre from the above list?

BQ2: How do you feel about politics?

..Speaking to Stones?

Apparently the band formed in 2004 to release their first, self-titled album in 2006. Since then, they've released only one album, entitled "Elements", in 2012. This is how I came into contact with Speaking to Stones. I'm glad I can say that the hours I've spent with Speaking to Stones have not been for naught.

Both of their albums are filled with Dream Theater influence, but thankfully their vocalist possesses more skill than Mr. LaBrie. Only an opinion..... ;) Luckily they appear to have retained the wonderfully technical musical aspects of Dream Theater, and developed them into their own, awesome form of progressive metal.

"Fire"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqiQc1m_oHg

"Earth"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4nEAD4ZVCc

"Shallow"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axjZyy3-JuQ

BQ: What do you think of Speaking to Stones?

BQ2: What is your favorite song from the above three, if you gave them a listen?

BQ3: Why did the sheep cross the road?

Hmm?!!?!!!?!?!?!?

Mine would have to be:

[1]~> Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick" [1 continuous track on 2 sides]

[2]~> Transatlantic - "Bridge Across Forever" [4 tracks]

[3]~> Yes - "Tales from Topographic Oceans" [4 20 minute tracks]

:)

BQ: Favorite album with more than 14 tracks?

Mine: Ayreon - "The Human Equation" [20 tracks.. I think.]

BQ2: saucy.

I need some music to match seven different fields of a project I have coming up.

Please try to keep them.. not-so-heavy.

I am looking for post-rock (or metal) songs (instrumental, please) with the following "feels" to them:

a) upbeat; happy; energetic

b) sorrowful; sad; depressing.. possibly with an "odd" instrument for rock (violin, cello, etc.)

c) soothing; relaxing

d) enjoyable; fun (vague.. do whatever)

e) other

Thanks for your help!

BQ: Favorite post-genre?

BQ2: On a scale from 1-10, you like post-rock how much?

Songs with epic openings, I suppose, would be what we're looking for here.. but not only that, the rest of the song should continue to be awesome. So.. epic songs that start off epically. There we go.

Iron Maiden - "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIzUTgtZ9_Q

Black Sabbath - "Heaven and Hell"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riwxbh_n_WM

UFO - "Rock Bottom"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riwxbh_n_WM

Ted Nugent & the Amboy Dukes - "The Great White Buffalo"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo6IJxh130U

Robin Trower - "Day of the Eagle"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D175jn-3_M

Just shuffled my library and listened to the first 15 to see what kinds of songs I could get; worked out pretty well, I think.

What songs like these do you guys have? ;)

BQ: What is your favorite song that starts off weak as hell, then builds up into a fantastic frenzy of ferocious epicness?! [I messed up the f thing I had goin'..]

BQ2: Have any of you, or someone you know, been affected by Hurricane Sandy? How terribly? How lucky? ;o

BQ3: SNOW.

This game should properly identify the functions and structure of the CHLOROPLASTS of a cell. This carnival game should be playable by peers.

The ideas I have currently may or may not be good, but I'd like some opinions on them.

¥ Ring Toss

We set up a few green bottles to act as the "stands" to hold up the stuff within the chloroplast; the "rings" will be green, simulating the ring-like structures within the chloroplast.

I'm not sure how to illustrate the function of the chloroplast with this game.

¥ Into the Pumpkin

We thaw out a pumpkin, which simulates a chloroplast's outer membrane. We have our peers throw items (green) into the pumpkin to simulate the internal structure of the chloroplast. Once again, I'm unsure on how to properly illustrate the chloroplast's function within this game.

Perhaps someone on Y!A will be of help.

Otherwise, this question, and myself, will be lonely.

Hey there, Yahooians. My name's Troy. I'm a senior in high school this year and am beginning my applications to college! However.. I have to find the colleges that I want to apply to first.

Before I continue, I'd like to list the majors I'm currently interested in. These are mainly broad subjects, and thus I'd like your assistance finding more specific majors in each of the subjects.. and perhaps even point me in the right directions in terms of "this is NOT the major for you".

* Astronomy * Astrophysics * Physics

These are the majors I started off looking at, as I'm extremely intrigued by space - and thus, astronomy; the other two are.. well, astrophysics is basically a combination of astronomy and physics, while a strong-suit in physics is required for astronomy. I've had my heart set on astronomy for quite a while now; I've quite the intellectual mind, if I may say so myself. A science seems to be the perfect fit.

Other majors I was observing. Note: these are relatively broad, as no specific major intrigued me more than others.

* English * Earth and Planetary Sciences * Philosophy * Psychology

I understand that psychology tends to be a popular major/minor, and, of course, I'm also quite intrigued by the scientific study of the human mind. As for philosophy, as the word implies, I've a thirst, or love, for knowledge. English.. I've always been an acceptable writer, understood English very well.. I love learning about English.. of course, what I'm writing now isn't 100% grammatically correct, but I tend to love being in English class. Earth and Planetary Sciences.. same as astronomy, I guess, with a bit of superfluous interest in geology and meteorology.

Well, there's a list of subjects/majors I'm interested in. Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction as I continue.

I love science. I love mathematics. I love history. I love English. It's who I am: I love learning. I went through a rough time as a freshman and sophomore, and thus my GPA suffered - luckily not heavily enough to completely ruin my chances in a good college. My current GPA is a 3.48 - basically a 3.5. I'm almost positive I can raise this to a 3.6-3.8 this year. I scored a 1900 on my SAT - afterwards, I decided that the colleges I was looking at do NOT require a "superscore" of 2100+ on the SATs, so I haven't - and don't plan on - retaking them.

************** TL;DR ****************

My apologies for the 'wall of text', as trolls would put it: tl;dr. Anyway, here's the tl;dr version: I need some help with some information regarding each of the above subjects/majors and possible specific majors within each of them that YOU think would be a good fit for me. [Subjects: Astronomy, Astrophysics, Physics, English, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Philosophy, Psychology] I'd also like some assistance with colleges: I live in New Jersey and am looking for colleges in my area: Maryland, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, etc.

-- If you managed to read all of that, congratulations and thank you for your time. Hopefully you can assist me with my future. If nobody decides to respond to this.. then, hm.. I suppose I'd have to show my guidance counselor this question. Hoho.
