What's an AG'er?

Just read a few post from... somewhere, already forgot.

Anyway, someone got told to "fuck off and die", and I *think* was called an AG'er... Just wondering what that was...

Oh, one more thing. This is an adult oriented forum, right? I know there are still some adults who are quite an "adult" yet, but wouldn't it cut alot of childish stuff out of these forums if you had to be 18 to sign up for them?

Nevermind, to do that you'd need to prove it. I'm 24 and don't have a credit card, so I'd be voting to cut myself outta this place.

So yeah, what's an AG'er?

"What's an AG'er?"

Sounds like "Where's the Music?"

You Post like an ag'er, so you should know ;p

AG-er = member of Audio galaxy Forum. They came here when their forum shut down for a while. Older members of the Cellar, self included, did not always appreciate their posting style. They seem to be settling in - somewhat.

What's an AGer? What's a Cellarite? A human being.

What's a guy gotta do to get a mochaFrappaLatteChino around here?

do you mean "White Mocha Frappachino"?

Star Bucks is thatta way----> turn left at the red light and down the dark alley...it is just past the 4th green dumpster. If you see a red dumpster with a hooker sitting by it you went too far.

thank yoo sir.

Audiogalaxy was the first internet anything I had ever been on. I got my first pc and was told by a family member where to find the coolest file sharing community on the net.

Groups according to interest. Discussions according to interest. I met some very cool musicians. I think musicians are some of the most enlightened free beings on earth. When the music died they left.
It just went into a nose dive after that. Generally speaking.

We need the spelling nazi smiley!!

*non-post*

*not a bump*

Oh you meant what is an AGer?? NOW

What comes to my mind are:

mind fukers
talking out of both sides of face
insulting
clique
hackers
abusers
gossipers
slanderers
liars
two faced
hypocrites
truth twisters
relationship destroyers

oh and an occassional bad speller.


plus lots of insect and animal analogies.

oh thanks....will you follow me around be my personal spell check ?? I am serious!

I'll never be a bad speller again with this cool edit function.


Actually I am lazy and I am far sighted. Got fitted for me knew ozzy lenzes tho!

Nah, just felt like being a noodge (is that even a word?).

Does the spell checker catch "fucker"? :rolleyes:

anyone care to add?

I used Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator to build a custom "language" in Windows where the "f" keyed an "ƒ" - so I could type ƒuck on AudioGalaxy and avoid the bot.

And there, is the basic difference, I think ...

You (general, not specific, you) laud your board for it's freedom, while pillorying ours for censorship, yet you cannot say a simple word in your land where the grass is greener and all the women are well-endowed.

Fuck. Fucking. Fuckity fuck fuck.

We have entire threads devoted to fuck.

And also to fucking.

and cock . and whale penii

God I love this fucking place!
:love: :love: :love: :love:

and more recently, Dicks.

There were well-endowed women there? Now you tell me.

Okay, well, off to do some pillorying.

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]Why have some of the words in my post been blanked

Certain words may have been censored by the administrator. If your posts contain any censored words, they will be blanked-out like this: *****.

The same words are censored for all users, and censoring is done by a computer simply searching and replacing words. It is in no way 'intelligent'.[/COLOR]

Yes. It's Yiddish.

Ever consider that every number has an original name, right? "one, two.... two billion, 7 trillion, a google, etc"

And numbers are limitless, without end, right? Even if we can't conceive of that, the numberline goes on FOREVER.

So, since we name the numbers, it must be that every word, sound, phrase, utterance, every single sound in the history of mankind is going to be the name of a number.

But we don't name all the numbers, do we? Just the ones we need to name.

That's pretty much what I was asking. Thanks.

...and yeah, I really had no clue - never even heard of Audio Galaxy. 'til now.

You have it exactly backwards. Not every utterance is the *name* of a number. But every utterance *has* a number...several, actually, depending on what system you use to encode it, and the number has several proper names, usually one per system.

For example, "SteveBsjb" encoded in ASCII has the number 0x5374657665426A7362, which--if Beanshell isn't lying to me--is
1,539,466,998,176,218,248,034 in decimal.

</pre>

Considered as an utterance it would be close to "steevbisjib". But there are lots of numbers that don't correspond to an utterance in any encoding system you choose. And if strictly encoded as sounds...using .au or .wav formats, for example, there are many sounds that are indistingushable by ear that have very different numbers.

There's more numbers than there are anything else...a good thing, considering it would be inconvenient to run out of integers while counting something else.

But there's more real numbers than integers. Read more on this topic at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number

I had always believed that numbers were an imaginary concept.

Then I read, in Popular Science or Discover or Scientific American, don't remember which, that while researchers were studying patients suffering from localized brain damage in an effort to determine where in the brain certain functions are performed, they found that some stroke patients lose specific math abilities (these functions are subsequently re-learned by other parts of the brain). More interestingly, damage to a specific enough area of the brain can render a patient unable to concieve of certain digits. Further exploration into this phenomenon revealed that we actually have a seperate clump of neurons representing each of the digits in our ten-based number system. That's right, the digits are hard-wired into our brains.

...sooooo, we know math from birth? ..or conception even?

Numbers, The only true universal language.

That's what the brain does, it develops areas that get stimulation as its developing, and prunes those neurons it doesn't need and reassigns them to other tasks.

There are tribes around the world, and specifically in Panama in this case, where they do not have a number system as we know it. They have, for example, only the numbers "one," "two," and "many" or "more than two." Researchers have done many tests on this, and have come to the conclusion that they're not just suffering from culture confusion, they really can't tell the difference between having five rocks in one hand and four in the other. Their brains have disposed of those functions in favor of other ones.

For every number, there is a word. And since there are an infinite number of numbers, it follows that there must also be an infinite number of words. So, to suggest that there cannot be a word that doesn't refer to a number implies that there is a limitation on the number of words that are possible. Since there can be no limitation on an infinite quantity, it follows that a one-to-one correspondence between all words and all numbers is not enforceable.

Seems more likely to me that rather than having disposed of them, they simply never had them. The (very few) people in question speak Pirahã.

The story about Eskimos having many words for "snow" looks apocryphal, though.

Tangentally, I have a boy who is non-verbal in my SE class who I'm attempting to teach pre-acedemic skills to. He can match numbers of objects up to 5 with precision but any more than that and its hit or miss. Since he has difficulties with receptive language, he appears to be trying to match visually. He sometimes matches the pattern I put the blocks into and matches a higher number. It just reinforces for me the idea that language is key to organizing our thoughts.


edit- people first language

I know I said that numbers are the universal language it's also linear to think about it . To those like me who don't have much of a concept for it it is a hard language to master.



I work with children as well.
I guess being a student of Piaget and Elkind I have to agree that language is the way we organize our thoughts. For most of us our thoughts are conceptual. We have to organize and catorgorize. It is the first things we do is start naming things and putting things in groups.The same and different.


So I don't know if I was trying to help giff or just throw something out there to let you know I understand what you are saying.
It's very early here and I am barley awake yet.

I no longer work with non verbal kids. I have a bunch of really nice 2nd and 3rd graders though :)

damn I thought this was on some other thread:(

From an article I was just reading this morning:

Ray Kurtzweil wrote:

"Turing had the right insight: base the test for intelligence on written language. Turing Tests really work. A novel is based on language: with language you can conjure up any reality, much more so than with images. Turing almost lived to see computers doing a good job of performing in fields like math, medical diagnosis and so on, but those tasks were easier for a machine than demonstrating even a child’s mastery of language. Language is the true embodiment of human intelligence."

Well, once ALL the known words are used, there would be a need for new words. Just imagine, you can always add a letter to word and make it a new one. So there'd be a the number "Cow" And let's say that's the last known word of all languages of all times, so now we use Cowp, then Cowpp, then Cowppp, and mix it up for fun.

Thanks for playing along with my original thought.

Well from the way they tell it a LOT of the ladies there ARE well-endowed...

Alas I had to be a LEG man eh...;-)

an "ag-er" is multi-lingual, mutli-cultural crossbreed of lifestyles, politics, dreams, and abstracts opinons.... looking for advancements into other cyber realms. ... via messageboads, etc....
