I think we call HD radio DAB in the UK and I prefer that to FM due to receiving a poor FM signal where I live.

Do you prefer a manual toothbrush or an electric one?

HD radio is uniquely in the Americas due to Sirius/XM having a stranglehold on satellite delivery. it is Hybrid-Digital meaning it is an In-Band/On-Channel system, a true hybrid signal consisting of a digital subcarrier riding buried in a quasi-noise signal within the FM broadcast carrier. special HD radios can strip off the digital stream. it works even on AM radio, spectacularly so, providing FM-like sound quality and stereo reception. alas, the FCC has not approved enough digital power for it to be very effective, due to the problem of causing interference with normal analog broadcasts.

anyways,
Mac
or
PC

I have never used apple products. So, PC it is. Though I prefer android truth be told.

Ok,

If you were to choose between an iphone and a Huawei Android phone which would you choose?

iphroid because I couldn't afford to get or run either.

if you had to go back in time, to either the year 1999 OR 1969, which would it be? and WHY would it be?

1969 because I've already lived through 1999. I'd love to have some 1969 dirt on my parents. I think.

If you could get a free Associates degree, would you want to and what would you study?

I would study anything that would insure that I could be hired for a decent-paying clean job for once.

if you had to hop into the WABAC machine and zoom backwards in time, would you prefer to go to 1966 or 1976?

1976; I'd experience a better wave of music and film more immediately than ten years prior (in my humble opinion, of course).

Spearmint or peppermint?

spearmint seems a bit mellower. peppermint has a bit of a bite.

which looks better to your eyes-
70mm hidef IMAX [48 frames per second]
or
8k digital projection @48 frames per second?

Dunno, but it'll be a while before 8K becomes available in Australia, so I'll probably go with IMAX HD (70 mm, 48 fps) by default. With Australia's upcoming national FTTN broadband network (as in, we're "upgrading" to a FTTN network :roll: ), we could struggle to get 4K TV.

What device do you use to access the Internet the most?

I'd say my laptop although I might be using my mobile as much.

What do you think this planet (the Earth) will be looking like in year 3000?

Full of genetically modified or cybernetically enhanced humans and/or aliens.

We'll see who's correct. :twisted:

What kind of car do you drive (if any)?

I've driven only once or twice. I think it was some Toyota car. I don't know much about cars.

Are you learning any foreign language or would you like to? If so, what language?
