The “Ask Me” Questions

As many of you know, I have an avenue on my site which allows you to submit questions to me, pertaining to technology, and have them answered. I have gotten quite a few, and answered almost all of them.

But some of the ones I get are either downright annoying and stupid, or outright hilarious. Heck, most of them relate to phpBB questions (which I don’t answer under any circumstances).

So here’s just a few of the questions I’ve received, starting with the most recent:

Titled “geography”

Where is india located?

Titled “haha”

ur funny and I haha’d

What the…???

Titled “phpBB”

OMG HELP ME IM BEING HACKED HE GOT MY PASSWRD

Hey, you, with the stuck caps lock button: I’m in ur base stealing ur IQ.

This guy thought I could help him with his physics questions:

Titled “physics”

Hey can you help me with my physics?

A baseball (m=0.15kg) is thrown with a speed of 30 meters per second at angle of 32 degrees above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance.

1) What is its momentum at the maximum height?
2) What is its momentum just before it strikes the ground?

wuts the answer?? Please its due tomorrow

What do I look like? A physics major? Well, I kind of am as a Computer/Electrical Engineering major, but regardless, I actually laughed at that one.

What is it about technology questions that people don’t understand? Hey, I’m all for the intellectual question that doesn’t relate to technology every now and then, and I’d be glad to deviate from technology, but why can’t they be real about it?

We’ll never know…

What about royalty-free music?

I am a hobbiest photographer and videographer. And I enjoy putting any vacation trips that I’ve taken into one “be all” video which sums everything up. Video editing, basically. (Adobe Premiere FTW).

Needless to say, I add music to the background. For my own personal use videos, ie, only ones I myself keep hold of, I have always used regular old music out there. Anything I could find that I had in my CD library. But that practice got kind of sketchy when I wanted to give copies to some friends since, they too, were on said trip. So I got stuck with royalty fees.

Now, the royalty fees really aren’t that bad. But I sitll don’t want to have to pay them.

So this begs the question of you readers. Do you know of any free (as in beer) royalty-free music out there that I could download, preferably instrumental stuff? Anything under the Creative Commons licenses? I’ve found resources in the past, but I couldn’t find any really “good” stuff, if you know what I mean.
