Don't worry, they won't care about your pr0n searches...well, maybe they'll just store them all up for 'later use' should you become a problem in the future. As Cameron said "For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone"
You could remake it, if you looked a the temperatures of all the surrounding particles and 'rewound' it all backwards. I think that was the point op was trying to make.
>When is the last time someone you know saved a dying SD card or USB drive without windows trialware?
You are joking right?
Last week, my brother presented me with a SATA drive and a USB drive. Both 'broken' under windows. I used testdisk under linux to fix the SATA drive (then copied all over to a brand new drive). The USB drive wasn't fixable but still used testdisk to copy 95% of the files over to another fresh drive. All done easily and simply under linux for free...and my brother was very happy...and he's now learned of the importance of backups.
Windows can go suck a fuck for all I care...I'm just unhappy that I have to work with it daily.
As for sound quality - one of my favourite performances of 'Old man' is a live one with Neil on on his guitar that I first saw on youtube, with a pair of crap headphones (think it's this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... work, can't test). Anyway, it's brilliant and to me at least just goes to prove it's the song, the tune, the lyrics that matter and not being able to hear every single frequency in perfect clarity....but that's just my opinion. It's also my opinion that people who seem to care so much about speakers, wires, amps etc. are more into speakers, wires and amps than music. I've had the same Technics amp for 25 years...it's fine.
I've never understand it. I've been collecting/ripping mp3s (and then later oggs) ever since about '97. I've never need a tool to 'organise' my collection. Every OS I've ever used has had this really clever idea called the directory (or folder). It's quite simple really, I haev one top-level directory called 'Music' and inside I have an 'A' folder, a 'B' folder etc. etc. Inside I have (here's the clever bit) more directories eg. 'Ah-ha', with that I have directories for each album by the band.
Okay, I have one directory under 'M' called 'Misc' which is getting a bit large by hey-ho.
Oh and I own all those files, they're mine and I can copy them onto any device I own and share with friends should I want to.
Screw Apple and screw anybody that doesn't let me own my music collection and potentially pass it onto my children. Props to Amazon that allows me to buy DRM-free mp3's (along with the CD! awesome!)
I don't really hack games-consoles and turn them into useful media-streaming devices purely for the pleasure and the odd use here and there. This is all just a bit of fun and frivolity!
It's all marketing, don't be such a sucker! In fact, I just call 'em al laptops, in the case net/utlra/bollocks-books, I just call 'em small laptops.
In fact, if I'm honest, I actually just refer to all the computers in my house as computers, including games-consoles (as they are usually hacked enough to have pretty much the same functionality as any other computer in the house).
Exactly what I thought. I would have just tried the disk in an Amiga with a HD attached, made an image and copied that over to try out in an emulator. Magnetic Imaging devices indeed! Well, makes for a more interesting story I suppose.
Absolutely. I intend to be fuzzed-up to the eyeballs on (currently) illegal drugs when my life draws to a close. I will never try any of the 'dangerous' drugs before that time though.

HAH! the iPod wasn't innovative - I already had an mp3 player at that point and wondered why the fuck everyone was getting so excited!

Fuck them all. You heard it here first.

How did irony come into the invention of calculus, even if it was at the same time as Newton?
Seriously, I often wonder how to use the word irony, ironically.
No, that was the Rolling Stones.
Leave the Beatles out of this!

This will always be true.
I believe you - and, man that would be so cool!

I love Neil's music. I'm certain all those whipper-snappers are taking the piss.
I do think he's being a bit daft with all this 'quality' nonsense though.
...fnar fnar
Good news! I've been wanting this functionality for years!
...welcome out new prostate-probing robotic overlords.
hahah, clit-mouse - I love it!

Does anyone else remember the hacked version of Great Giana Sisters from Red Sector. I assume it's the same people.
Anyway, completely awesome achievement...It would probably take me ages to write something similiar in a high-level language. Amazing.

Dear NSA/GCHQ,

yours...well you know my name anyway!

Some might say we are already in a jail of sorts.
That is a very real possibility. However, every single random miggy floppy disk I've ever tried, even after 20 years has worked perfectly.
I do see the point though - somebody probably thought they could make some mega-bucks from the ultra-rare Worhol images.
