  1. funny quote re: drugs on Internet Drug Game Could Save Lives and Money · · Score: 1

    Not sure where to attribute this (or if it's accurately reproduced...)

    "The government could take away all the drugs in the world and people would spin around on their lawns until they fell down and saw God.

  3. hmm.. I wonder... on See-Through, Paper-Thin Speakers · · Score: 2

    What would DJ's and their ilk be able to do with this (ahem) musically?

    instead of scratching a record/cd you could do tons of dopplar effects by f'in with a thin flexible speaker...

    Let's see DJ scribbles (or whatever) get down with that!

    instead of "scratching" it will be called "tearing" or "folding" a phat beat=P

    sounds silly but plausible to move a speaker around for effect (See leslie speakers, or their "virtual/electric" bretheren of phase shifting audio devices phasers, flangers, and chorus')

    *Shrug* YMMV

  7. Re:Slashcode is crap? No, kludgy and hard to deplo on Trellix Licenses Blogger · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to hear thatware is still devloping... I started my site with thatware, but quickly migrated to phpnuke as it had some specific features I dug...

    phpnuke is good for some things... but following the migration pattern can be painful if you customize the code much (which seems like a neccessity)... phpnuke.org has a beta of their 5.x code that looks pretty neat... but I wonder if it'll be painful to migrate too...

    Keep up the good work with thatware...

  8. notoriously slow on Iomega Settles Zip Drive Suit (With Rebates) · · Score: 1

    Isn't Iomega notoriously slow with rebate checks in the past? Kinda ironic (besides the obvious: getting a rebate because the product was defective to go out and buy more product from the same company)

  9. Re:I'm listening to a station on AFTRA Halts Many Radio Stations' Webcasts · · Score: 1

    I don't think you get it... but that's ok...

    it's not all that important to know how a college radio station works... just that it does.

    Maybe I just DJ'd at a crappy College station (which i did/it was) but there wasn't alot of payola going around to influence that .0002 local share. And the free shwag, is pretty lame (wow a sticker from some christian metal bank from OK!)... and someone steals all the good cd's at the station so in order to have anything to play you have to lug in your own collection (pre-mp3 explosion... a lop top full of mp3's woulda saved alot of aggrevation)

  10. Re:I'm listening to a station on AFTRA Halts Many Radio Stations' Webcasts · · Score: 1

    This is not an undisclosed "music industry rule"...

    You don't know what you are talking about (or it's merely conjecture)

    College radio stations do pay royalties/license on the songs they play... but i believe it is at a much reduced price... (but i'm not going to pass that off as a fact...) College stations like regular stations get a special royalty license that is more of a blanket than a per/song rate...

    That's what I vaguely remember from my COM 300 classes anyways...

  16. mpaa on Hannibal's Return · · Score: 1

    The ratings system is pretty hosed. Just look at the mockery the South Park boys did to it with their movie (Every time the MPAA panel suggested taking away a violent scene, they'd add 5 more "fucks, etc" to the dialogue ...or was that vice versa?)

    *Shrug* Who can really say what "moral" standards are anyways... Personally I find shitty movies more offensive than brain eating, bare breasts, and vulgarity... but hey...

  17. It's not the studio on Burning The Candle At Both Ends · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of boneheads who have "pro" grade studios but don't know how to use them. Yeah its great that you have that 2 inch/24 track/Struder but if you can't put a signal chain together it doesn't matter.... having a 1176 limiter and fancy ass mic pres, and neuman a studio genius makes not...

    In short it's the talent/ear not the equipment. There are people with home studios who do amazing things... there are other's who's production quality will be eternally lame no matter what home gear gadget they get...

    I do find it encouraging that the price points have dropped and the software is so extensive that if you had enough free time and skills you could make a masterpiece (acoustic treatments/music talent not withstanding)
