A. Not for long. In fact, all life is just random events. All things considered, it's not likely that anything will exist, within any fraction of time. However, I still count on tomorrow, even though the odds are against it.

A. Yes. Though man can assemble the parts of any living creature with utmost duplicity. Man cannot make it alive.

A . No. Just a ploy to make the Russians feel like losers. One 'ultimate' proof of such occurrence is the laser beam reflector (supposedly) used to triangulate Earth's position in the Universe. This was left by astronauts in the 60's. Tax dollars pay some guys to shoot a beam up every couple o months.

"There! did you see that flicker? That means they had to have been there" (not buying it, nerd scientist)

The other "Proof" is the Moon Rocks brought back. There's this hippie scientist that says they could only have come from the moon due to the nature of the pot marks in them. How does he know what a Moon Rock looks like?

A. Solar Flare's scorch the Ozone layer, cause the Northern Lights and power outages as far down as Seattle. A Solar Flare will likely cause the end of life on Earth. You can't survive a Solar Flare anywhere.

A. No. He has purchased fans with money earned from his Beatles record rights ownership.

A. I don't know. In fact, I don't know anything but I share my opinion on everything.

Q. Have you come to believe that only a power greater than yourself can restore you to sanity?

A. Yes. Especially when everything was a power greater than myself. Currently, that field is narrowed and insanity is allowed..

Q. What's an Mp3?

A. Invented by a guy with a German name. This is the sound file format which substitutes most of the analog sound by referring to fewer similar sounds on the track (like drum beats), reducing the amount of information (and file size) required to reproduce the sound on the receiving end. Most of today's pop music is easily produced that way from it's conception, therefore, Mp3 sound is as good if not better than original artist's performance.

If you're into more the more complex, such as orchestra, live recording, or music of the pre 80's vintage, you will lose much in an MP3 conversion. You can then balance quality or quantity by adjusting the severity of an MP3 conversion.

Q., what about MIDI?

A. Similar to the more recent MP3. MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is like sheet music. Where you give a band sheet music to play and reproduce to their best ability. You give MIDI instructions to a computer to generate the sounds when and where indicated. These instructions can be given via digital file which has been stored, or, you can give in real time through a MIDI Trigger device. Human interface device functions can be assigned to a sound file stored in your computer. You can assign the 'F' key to play a sound file. You can make a 'Casio' sound like a Grand Piano (or your pet chicken).
