XM PCR Control Program for Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the satellite-radio-for-the-rest-of-us dept.

nsayer writes "I'm a fan of XM Radio. The least expensive XM radio you can get is the XM PCR, which is powered and controlled over a USB connection to a host PC (the audio does not, however, come back across the USB connection. It's just got an analog line-out jack). Unfortunately, the only software they give you is for Windows. But fortunately, it's been reverse engineered, so I was able to write MacXM. At this point, it is very stable and easy to use, and so far as I know it is the only XM radio software that integrates with the iTunes music store (click a button and iTunes pops up with a search for the current song title and artist)."

    Yo shitheads, if I cut off someone's fucking head and immediately attach the fucking major bloodveins to an artificial fucking blood pump system, would the fucking head go on living on its fucking own, separated from the body???

      Nope, for two reasons. First, anastomosis (the process of "attaching the fucking major bloodveins) takes time. Too much time. With no blood circulation at all, the brain begins to die immediately. In as little as five minutes, irreversible and fatal brain damage sets in. And anastomosing the jugulars and carotids can't be done that quickly.

      The second reason has to do with the spinal column. For reasons that nobody seems to understand as yet, severing the spinal cord results in immediate unconsciousness. Even before the body's autonomic systems fail, the patient/victim/whatever enters a comatose state.

      In other words, if you cut off someone's fucking head, they will fucking die.

    Just thought I might point out that when Apple integrates products for the end user's convenience, they're innovators and geniuses, best thing since sliced bread, etc... But when Microsoft does the same thing, they're abusive monopolists who crush the little guy.
