stranded on a desert island

photon

if you were stranded on a desert island, and could bring just 10 cds, what ones would you take with you?
me: (in no particular order)

1: led zepplelin remasters
2: bruce springsteen (born in the usa)
3: boston (boston)
4: pink floyd (dark side of the moon)
5: queens greatest hits
6: the "a knights tale" soundtrack
7: the beatles (1967-70)
8: fleetwood mac (rumors)
9: paul mcaurtney and wings (band on the run)
10: neil young greatest hits

these r from the top of my head so there are some others

Wouldn't it be easier just to bring my ipod? 10,000 songs on something a lot smaller and much more portable than 10 CD cases.

besides, 10 CDs wouldn't be any good unless you had a way to play them.

I'd go with audio books, like "10 Easy Ways to Build a Raft From Sticks," or "The Way to Tell Poisonous Berries From the Other Kind."

On the ipod. With a solar power cell.

I couldn't handle it and would refuse to take any, plus, out of frustration and boredom I would probably make my own lame music and after awhile it would probably sound even better, especially better than getting brain locked on one song.

you guys are nerds

Any 10 cds. then I'd carefully construct a parabolic reflector with them to focus sunlight for easy fire making.

franznietzsche

The thread winner.

Don't forget signalling pasing ships.

franznietzsche

No.

If he asked: You can only take a computer with one compiler on it, what language would you have it compile?

THen we'd be nerds.

I'd take Perl.

If you could take 3 nasal decongestants which three would you take?

spender

Hey guys ! how about some babes ?

franznietzsche

mmmm, babes.

the other other other white meat. *wow, that sounds really bad. Not meant to be a race to joke*

Smurf

Perl gets an easy win, it's the only logical choice.

brewnog

- Vicks Vapo-Rub
- Sudafed Capsules
- Beecham's All-In-One

Can't beat a bit of Vapo-Rub.

tribdog

If you could take 2 soda pops and a vegetable what would they be?

franznietzsche

Since i know i've never heard you speak about programming before, i'm inclined to disbelieve you are actually informed enough to make that basis.

But, being the nerd i am, i do agree. Perl would be more useful than C, C++, or even Java. And definitely better than COBOL.

tribdog

I'd take LOGO, just in case there are turtles on the island.
