If you had read the rest of the thread, you would've noticed where he said it was a typo.

+10:00 or UTC/GMT +10:00 - mean that current place is 10 hours ahead of UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)

08:00 or UTC/GMT - 08:00 - mean that current place is 8 hours behind of UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) or GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). For example, San Francisco standard time, PST.

lol

I really don't think he "accidentally" typed ahead when he meant to say behind, considering that single word was the focus of his whole thread. He called people out for not knowing how it all works and he himself was mixed up.

I just found it funny.

So he got ONE number wrong, you don't have to be such a dick. It's called a typo. And before you attack me, I have proof he's right.

Edit: Shit, I didn't read his WHOLE post and see the "ahead" thing.

Shit, I didn't read his whole post.

not to mention most of us are windows users and a date/time app is built into the clock in the taskbar...you can adjust your timezone settings if there is any doubt

i was confused why that guy singled me out though...

Like prae said, the negatives confused him. It's the exact opposite of what he said.

I'm not attacking the dude, just saying he shouldn't call other people out for ignorance when he doesn't even know what he's talking about. Basic courtesy, no?

gmt - (minus)8:00 hours pacific

gmt - (minus)6:00 hours central

-6 > -8

central is 2 hours ahead of pacific

What if the forum crashes when I'm asleep. NOOOOOOOOOO

(i'm going to bed, it's past 2am. way too tired)

So let's re-start the speculation on what kabir's info is. My vote is album review.

I disagree. The album is called 10,000 Days. Like it or not, that's the name of it. I guarantee this.

Review seems the most logical from what has already been posted.

Too bad, I was all excited. Although, this will hold me over for a day.

3000% agreed

I could care less about a review because:

1. Different people have different opinions. If Kabir likes the album a lot and says it's the best Tool album yet, it doesn't neccesarily mean that I'll feel the same way about it so if he posts a review, it's not going to confirm that the album is great or bad or whatever. He cares as much about my opinion on the album as I care about his.

2. I don't want to read about certain parts of the song. I want to find out everything about the songs myself. I want to listen to them and experience them and be surprised by whatever is in such songs. If a song sucks, I don't want to hear what's bad about it. I would rather listen to the song myself and decide myself why I don't like the song.

He says more info about the album

review /= info

it'd be nice if he posted a clippet of "vicarious" tonight

i would actually love even 30 secs of the real song

No, he said he doubts it'll make the news page.

If this news is so crappy then say what it is, kabir!! Lordy.

yeah the news wasn't good...

but i'm sure people will be able to live.

i'm guessing review -- and that's why it's going to take him a while to post it. because he still has to finish formatting, proof-reading, etc.

or else some tour info.

Why is everything around here so damn cryptic.

So, has the news been posted yet? I see the page was updated today, but there's nothing on the new album.

the news isnt small like Kabir said, its actually mega-spectacularly huge news, he just said its not that big of a deal to try and stop the servers from being OVERLOADED, its huge guys, 10,000 days is a hoax, the government knows, world war 3 man, armageddon!!!!

he said that it had been mentioned above, the things mentioned above were: vicarious stream, album review, artwork.

i choose vicarious stream... tell him that haha

I think it's either album review or artwork.

realistically though

im expecting

"the embargo has ended"

and nothing more

No, he made a teaser thread so the server WILL get overloaded and then he won't be able to post his news and a bunch of people will be mad. He's a smart one, Mr. Akhtar.

He said "we're not going to like it."

Strange.

I'm gearing towards the review...

Were these the only 3 things that were posted before he said that?

no, someone said he pmed them saying we wouldn't like it.

to my best recolection. go back and look if you want to check on that.

You guys are getting way too hyped. Why on Earth would Kabir post anything like artwork or Vicarious before it was posted on toolband? You better believe that stuff will hit toolband first.

Expect a review, and nothing more.

a stream? it is so obviously not a stream. the only way it is a stream is if kabir is straight up liar b/c that is news that would be put on the news page and we would like that very much

forget toolband this is the official site ... tool should be bowing down to kabir for the support he has given them over the years ...

/on the review bandwagon. Any idea how long Kabir has had the album for? Or just heard it ala other journalists?

he set up the vicarious subforum 6 minutes after he started the thread that said he had news tonight. i would think it has something to do with vicarious,
