Im an idiot when it comes to math. Like horribly bad.

Anyway, if you listen to a podcast at normal speed and then listen to it at 1.5x how does one calculate how much time you save.

Let's say for instance the podcast is an hour long if you listen to it at 1.5x speed will the podcast be 45 minutes long?

Divide the time by 1.5? So a 2 hour podcast would take 2/1.5 = 1.33 hours? So 2-1.33 = .67. So you would save .67 hours or 40 minutes?
 
What's with all this "Cheers" business?

Is Jazzfanz a place where everybody knows your name?

Are you saying everybody doesn't know my name?

I think we all know your name is Log Grad 98, at least those of us who can read. Isn't it?


Does this upset you on principle, or because you don't want to be Carla?

Just an observation that I'm seeing "Cheers" alot at the end of posts!

Another observation - the female characters on that show were all sort of pathetic, each in different ways. But then again, I guess the male characters were as well. Still, it was a great show.

I would love some insight on this argument from the mountain man...

Kick?
 
Who was the dude that said in 5 years desktop computers would no longer be available? Was that Saltydog?
 
So we had this discussion on the old board. You clowns that said I was wrong know who you are...

Anyway, check this phone out:

I told you it was coming. This is the first of many smartphones that will be as powerful (or more powerful) than you need for general computing. And all of the "2 inch screen, tiny keyboard" arguments are obsolete.

As if phones like that aren't enough, check this out:

So there will be phones running full blown Windows 8. That is basically Microsoft's way of saying computers as we know them will soon be dead to the average person.

Next up; the imminent comedy when all the iPhone fanboys that supposedly didn't care about 4G finally get a 4G iPhone and think it's the greatest thing ever.

First post from that thread. What is interesting is that all computers running windows 8 is more of a death knell for Microsoft than phones running Win 8 is for the PC.
