Would you say you have good hearing? It actually seems to run in my family as one of our better traits

Forgot to add the link!

Lol, track B immediately sounded louder to me in that video at least.

If watching the You Tube video then that's just to show you how the test works. To do the actual test you need to follow the links in the article.

I know, but I'll never be arsed doing that

I've still got hearing up to 20KHz & I'm in my 30's.
But with audio I listen to the production as much as the content so poor encodes & low bitrates mean I hear the quantisation noise & masking which spoils the song for me

1) How much mud we're going to lose when we drill into the sandstone at the end of this section.
2) Whether I'll have to do all the completion work before I leave on Friday. (I really hope not)

Why we only have four entries after nearly four months of photo competition.

I was wondering about this. From my own point of view, the frequent rollovers are making the competitions lose momentum. I appreciate that everyone's different when it comes to the time they can spare to go out and take a photo but I think the rollovers aren't helping. If I get an entry in during the first few weeks and then there's a rollover I'm left with nothing to do (as far as the comp goes) for another month.

There are more entries when it's a subject like 'Take a photo that relates to a film/song' but obviously you can't do that month after month. I don't know what you could do to make the subjects more inspiring.

There are quite a few serious photography enthusiasts here (it does have its own forum), but they don't often contribute...I guess you'd have to ask them why and perhaps get some thoughts as to why the number of entries is so low.

Can I actually justify buying a bridge camera? It's a real

How often will you use it?

Do you really want it?

sort of scenario...

Whether I'll be able to get an earlier flight home on Friday. Getting to Schiphol in time isn't a problem. Seat availability and whether the office will pay the change fee is.
Though I will point out I might miss the last train home on the last flight which will leave them paying London prices for a hotel room.

Whether I want to apply for a job teaching GCSE ICT, or whether I actually have had enough of the education sector, (thanks TMC!) and want to go back into proper I.T in the "real" world.

I could never be a secondary school teacher. I'd beat the cocky little brats to death by the end of the first day.

Me too!

I would have to ask those in the know whether behaviour would be as much an issue, given that ICT would be an option, not a compulsary topic. I am still thinking more about getting out of the education sector though, as I am sick of the corrupt practices, and the fact that I am being victimised for not putting up with sh1t
