Better stock up on computer parts

yer... it's not like people have lost their lives / livelihoods or anything... and your worried about the price of memory!!!


sorry but this and the post on another forum with some IDIOT worrying if they will get their nintendo 3ds .. REALLY annoy me!!!  (the polite version)

you don't think this thread is in bad taste ? I ****ing do!!!

Japan is the last place things are manufactured due to the cost of living amongst other things..
lots of it is shipped out and made in china / Taiwan / Malaysia and Singapore .. so your friend isn't clued up as they should be I guess.

it's truly saddened me of very recent events.. and you post such stuff. c'mon GET A REALITY check!!

if you think that's important.. then you really need to re-address what you think is important.

my thoughts are with the people of (and in) Japan.

I give up. Can't even make a simple statement here without somebody freaking out about it. What do you expect I guess.

Okay, let's not get into backbiting each other just because one of us is thinking logically and thinking forward.

I understand that to some it may be a bit soon to talk about the Tsunami's impact on local and world economies, but surely many people are already thinking about the manufacture of all manner of products necessary to our economy, from computer parts and peripherals to automotive components, whole cars, washing machines, and even some of the gear that might reside in our home studios...

Mind you, there is nothing wrong with thinking logically and keeping a level head about you, even though terrible, awful things are happening all around you.  Yes, what has happened is grievous, heartbreaking, and sad. 

But if we're not allowed to think logically, then what should we do, walk around in a blithering, jibbering, emotional mess?  You can only cry so much before you run out of tears.  Or simply must attend to other things such as feeding the kids or going to work.  You know; our lives that can, will, and must go on toward whatever the (new) future now holds.

Please understand that we all deal with things each in our own way.  This is not something to be berated for.  The OP was not being insulting or mean-spirited; at least that's not how I read his original post.

The technicians and engineers trying to keep the nuclear reactors cool are most certainly all about logic and the business at hand, even though they may be worried about their spouses and children who may as yet be unaccounted for.  As are the people running the shelters, or the rescue personnel trying to find and save survivors.  These people all have to think and behave far BEYOND the grief that they most undoubtedly feel.

I suggest that we should endeavor to emulate their behavior, even if it is difficult.  Even if it seems like what we are doing in our lives now pales in comparison to what's going on over there.

Curling up in the corner cocooned in one's own grief is not the answer, regardless of whether you are directly involved or if you are safely ensconsed in your undisturbed and very comfortable little home studio thousands of miles away.

If you want to feel better, make a donation.  Learn what you can do to help.  And do consider placing a reasonable limit on your exposure to the terrible images on cable news and the Drudge Report.  I'm not suggesting that you ignore...no!  But limit, so that you can remain useful and productive in your own work and your own ability to help.  Or at least your own ability to meet your current family and financial obligations.

I don't think this post was in poor taste, any more than reporting on rising oil prices due to the uprisings in the Middle East. Lots of heartbreaking stories over there, too.

So buy some RAM, and while you've got your credit card out make a donation to the Red Cross.

Well said. My sentiments exactly.

Stick around Rick.  
Your post was fine.
The majority read your posts and "get it".

Can anyone tell me who the moderator is of this forum or tell me how to cancel my account?

There are reps from Cakewalk that pop in on a regular basis, but for the most part this forum is a free for all and anything goes.

You must moderate yourself and just ignore the people that are over the top.

I've found the 'Block Member' function to be quite useful.

Yea you are right. That is what i will do. Thanks for the good advice. No sense in cutting off my nose to spite my face as it were.

Me and my friends tried to find out if there is a way we can go to Japan and help with rescue efforts or whatever else and got turned down. We were even ready to buy our own tickets. They aren't taking anyone with less than 5 years search and rescue experience at this time. Probably smart I guess. Last thing they need is a bunch of inexperienced folks that might need rescuing themselves. Oh well we tried. It stinks. You just want to do something. Do what we did. Go to the red cross site and donate 20 bucks or more if you can afford it. I'm sure every little bit helps. My last post on this subject. Time to move on.

but may i suggest you move this to the coffe house?..its got no buisiness being in an x1 forum

Are you a moderator? If so just please I'm begging you just delete my account entirely. I am no longer interested in coming here any more nor do I care to have any of my posts displayed. Tired of everybody ragging on me. I see posts all the time that have absolutely no business being on this forum at all let alone in the wrong one. It isn't worth it any more. If I want to be ****ed at my wife can do that. It used to be informative here. Now it is just a place for people to complain about Sonar and X1. I've had enough thanks.

and posts get moved all the time to the coffee house.

rick...dont delete this account...ps..my wife can be one too..this is a fun place man...im sorry if i rubbed you the wrong way..just hang man.

If I was helpful, I'm sure it was by accident.  I will have to be more careful in the future

(or will I?)

the mods do a good job in this forum and it isnt anything goes,just hit the report button and report them its as easy as that.this isnt gear slutz

Actually it is pretty much anything goes.

The only time I've seen an admin take any kind of action is when they were directly involved and personally didn't like what someone was saying.

so the OP was complaining about the price ofa couple sticks of ram, and then counters with an attempted purchase of a couple thousand dollar plane ticket? this thread is weird.

Are you fuc**ng people deaf or something? I never once COMPLAINED about the price of anything. I merely stated that ram prices are going up so BUY NOW before it gets really expensive. What the hell is so hard to understand. Jesus this place sucks ass.
