Stupid Hobbys?

[specofdust]

Smoking tobacco. Yeah, it's probably bad for me, but I enjoy it alot. So many different cuts, flavours, mixtures, aromas. Phwoar!

Personally I think thats quite a worthwhile hobby myself, if you enjoy something go for it. You only live so long anyway, no point in living a sterile existance(*looks over at the anti-smoking brigade*)

Anyway Ramedge, the quality of lazerdiscs is generally lesser then of DVD's, but much like vinyl, if ones been well made, the quality will be a bit higher, also many people collect them because they have high quality original versions of things. I believe theres a lazerdisc of star wars everyone collects because with the DVD lucas "tweaked" it and did some family friendly updates, whereas the lazerdisc was the full high quality unmessed with version. Likewise theres a very popular Blade Runner pressing out there.

Not sure how much they stored, but they were big things. Roughly the size of an old LP.

AFAIK they don't have higher bit rates per se, they don't have bit-rates, analogue just...doesn't. It has different problems, but different ways of describing those problems.

I thought laser discs were digital, like a CD but a lot larger since the technology didn't exist to fit a whole film on a CD at decent quality?

Isn't a camponologist someone who rings bells for a hobby?

I love the way the actual activity sounds nothing like the term for it. It's like saying I'm into Murderkilliology when its just the term for taking care of baby kittens.

Rock climbing - I presume that counts as stupid because it goes against all basic self-preservation instincts!

I collect 7" singles, check the back of HMV or whatever and you'll find loads of great singles for about 50p each. This is how I discover most of my music
