My father got a new monitor and installed it. Previous to this, both speakers functioned properly. Now, only one works (I know that this isn't the monitor's fault, just some background info.) I would assume that one of the speakers' (it is the left side) has broken internally, but I am doubtful; I plug in headphones into the port on the CPU and the left side does not work at all, what is the problem? Thank you in advance for any help.

I've been getting a little bored of the music I have lately. Remember, I have 28+ Gigabytes of music, so suggest something that you really DOUBT I know.

Bands/Artists I already listen to (these are just my favorites):

Progressive Rock/Metal:

Rush

Frank Zappa

Between the Buried and Me

Aghora

Rap/Hip-Hop:

Kid Cudi

Kanye West

MF Doom

Jazz:

John Coltrane

Miles Davis

Indie Rock:

Neutral Milk Hotel

Vampire Weekend

Arcade Fire

Animal Collective

Modest Mouse

Electro/House:

Daft Punk

deadmau5

MGMT (not sure what else to classify them as)

So... yeah. Fire away if you want.

The thing on the Sphinx's head? What is that called, is there even a term for it?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, I really have no idea what it could be called.

Just out of curiosity;

Say someone was born in the USA and lives there, but wants be a member of another country as well (dual citizenship: I'm aware it's possible but I'm not sure if you can when you're born in the US). Let's say that country is the United Kingdom. Could they be a member of both the United States and the United Kingdom without risking the loss of their US citizenship?

I would like to make my music library even bigger (is 3000 songs big?)

Now, 85% of my library is metal. So, I would like to get into more non-metal (but more metal won't hurt either.)

My top 5 METAL bands are;

1. Death

2. Atheist

3. Cynic

4. Type O Negative

5. Amon Amarth

But here's some non-metal artists I enjoy;

Rock (all subgenres of it;)

Frank Zappa

Queen

Neutral Milk Hotel

David Bowie

Æon Spoke

Rush

Electronic/Ambient;

deadmau5

Steve Roach (ambient)

Boards of Canada

Rap/Hip Hop;

A-1

MF Doom

De La Soul

So, build off of any of the above, I suppose?

Well, I have a lot to describe here. All of this stuff applies to me, and I just want to know if this is a disorder or I'm just a tad on the strange side;

-I *always* feel awkward when talking about romantic relationships.

-I, for some reason, feel awkward when I use certain words (i.e. girl, woman, I usually opt out and use the word "female").

-I feel strange whenever I think about myself even slightly being in love (I'm not in love, but I think about it a lot, for some reason).

-I fear/dislike any type of relationship that is not platonic.

There's a lot more I was going to type, but I forgot them. I'm really beginning to believe I have some type of disorder, whether it be a personality or social (do they exist?) disorder. Most likely, I'm just being a hypochondriac about this, and I would never go to a therapist/psychologist, so this is the best guess I have.

From 0:13 to 0:14, 0:23, and from 0:32 to 0:34.

What percussion instrument is that? I know it's not a normal drum, but I can't find any videos on any similar sounding drums.

I have a Pandora's Box Project to do, and I have to put 10 items in the box that are evil, but I have to include the 7 Deadly Sins. Any ideas as to what to bring? I already have sloth, gluttony, greed, and pride down, but what about;

Wrath

Envy

and Lust?

I normally don't ask Y!A for help with school but I'm stuck, I can't find anything safe for school that represents these things. Thanks for your help.

I'm looking for drum sets on the Internet, and I found one I liked that is white. If purchased, I plan to keep it in a garage. Will the white color discolor at all?

I have taken numerous quizzes, all of which pointing towards 50/50 percentage of brain power; Half on the left, half on the right. I this possible, but rare? I know people use both parts of their brains, but one side usually is at least 10% stronger than the other.

Now, I know that there are compassionate humans: but most humans, or at least the ones I've seen, are hating, compassionless idiots. Yet, there are other living things, like other animals, which I've seen some of them love more than any human ever could. Sometimes, I feel bad being human, I hate living among such hating, disturbing beings.

When I think about the future of myself, I see myself in 3rd person, as if I were watching from someone else's eyes? Is this "strange", or does everyone imagine this way?

This world disgusts me. Not the world, but its people. These people solely care about how much money you have, what you look like, and how popular you are. Everyone focuses on fitting in. These people are so ignorant, racist, and idiotic. Is there an answer to this, or are we all condemned to a lifetime of ignorance, stupidity, and discrimination?

I need more death metal, I already listen to Death, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Dying Fetus, Immolation, Morbid Angel, Children of Bodom, Carcass, Cryptopsy, and Skinless. Does anyone have any suggestions?
