  1. Re:Turn down the volume on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    I had a similar experience. After years of loud concerts and loud music i started to notice those ocassional drops in hearing and tinnitus (permanent ringing in the ears). But a couple of times the loss of hearing was so noticeable and lasted for so long (days) that i though i'd lost my hearing for good and was quite depressed since i'm a musician and i'm definitely not Beethoven! My hearing eventually went back to normal but i stopped going to concerts, i no longer turn on the radio on my car, and i barely listen to music anymore, among other things.

  2. No big deal on Antec Releases "Skeleton" PC Case · · Score: 1

    About eight years ago i used to have my main computer just laying on the floor with the components on a piece of cardboard. I'd had enough with the fan noise and i just took the fans off and dispensed with the case to keep it from overheating. It worked for years without failing me. I don't have to do that anymore because now we have subnotebooks with no moving parts.

  3. *sigh* on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    I think this is why in other countries you have publicly funded elections and laws that control how the media handles the elections.

  4. Re:USA + Bush = FAIL on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    When i've voted i've seen lots of candidates; i've never voted Republican and i vote Democrat only when there is no other choice. Of course you only see two parties on the television but you have to do your research. I mean, Nader is running again. . . And Cynthia McKinney. . . Why don't you vote for any of them? They won't get elected?

    Well, thus is the problem.

  5. Re:So? Is anyone really surprised? on Was the Yahoo-Google Deal a Ploy To Weaken Yahoo? · · Score: 1

    Money is not all there is in life. If i choose to not do business in China because i would have to support an oppressive government does not make me a fucking idiot. Let the evil ones do evil.

  6. Re:This proves how much Americans will sit and tak on $700 Billion Bailout Signed Into Law · · Score: 1
    I'm voting third party (Nader).

    Check out the response of a couple of Democrats when i started this thread.

  7. Re:Super slimy. on Microsoft Bids To Take Over Open Document Format · · Score: 1

    For all the years that i've been using Linux i have _never_ installed an antivirus. I can play any type of media i want without problems, openoffice has all i need to create/edit my documents, it has specialized software that i need such as LilyPond. . . All this for free. I just don't know what you are talking about.

  8. Re:I'm proud of slashdotters on Ancient Yeast Used To Brew Modern Beer · · Score: 1

    --with his first job in the senate in '77.

    1777?

    He! . .

  9. Weird Spiciness on Ancient Yeast Used To Brew Modern Beer · · Score: 1

    Later on the scientists realized that the "weird spiciness" was due to the fact that they were trying to make beer out of a weevil's dung.

  10. Re:simply boycott them on EA Hit By Class-Action Suit Over Spore DRM · · Score: 1

    GP meant the 1790's. Kids nowadays.

    Yes, it's true. That's why when you go to college to study music you study Bach and Mozart and not Devo or Flock Of Seagulls.

  11. Greatest Error on The Thirteen Greatest Error Messages of All Time · · Score: 1

    "Windows is installing. . ."

    Well, there goes my hacking career. . .

  13. Could Help Me on Using Computers for Sophisticated Music Analysis · · Score: 1

    I have some tunes in my head that i have no idea what their titles are or who plays them. There is one that i've been "listening" to in mind mind since i was a kid and it would be nice if one of these computers could find it for me. But, imagine the size of the database!

  14. OK, But. . . on LHC Shut Down By Transformer Malfunction · · Score: 1

    I don't know anything about the LHC but i'd like to comment on Slashdot's newly redesigned system. It's made the screen of my computer appear much larger than it was before. And it seems to be affecting everything in my room too. Fix this, please!

  15. Footage! on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: 1

    I found some footage related to the story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmJC3ZaXBEc

  16. Re:I Can Think of Possibilities ... on Senator Questions Rise In US Texting Prices · · Score: 1

    That's my 2 cents.

    10 cents, you mean.

  17. Re:Land of the free on UK ISPs To Hand Over Thousands of File Sharers' Data · · Score: 1
  18. Re:That is ridiculous on Facebook Blocks Users From Mentioning BugMeNot.com · · Score: 1

    On Slashdot, I can mention Microsoft or even George W., why can't I do it on Facebook? Total cow poop, I say.

    I turned the filter off for you.

  19. Re:Um, or... on Laboring Longer a Growing Trend For Americans · · Score: 1

    I wonder who hires them. . .

  20. Re:gnu site is slow on Stephen Fry Helps GNU Celebrate 25th Birthday · · Score: 1

    And i can't even play the thing (GNU site). If i try to download it it loads the video as a page(!).

  21. Re:Stephen Fry... on Stephen Fry Helps GNU Celebrate 25th Birthday · · Score: 1

    I loved him in Blackadder. Simply brilliant.

  22. Anything Can Be Art on Making Statements With Video Games · · Score: 1

    If urinals, piss, and elephant shit can be art, then, why not a video game?

    Previous to the 20th century defining art was easy. Nowdays, not so much.

  23. Re:not what they really need on OLPC Physics Game Jam For an XO · · Score: 1
