I take issue with this/. post, in fact.. not only is it TWO days late..which for such a significant event is , frankly , unforgivable, as I first became aware of Mr Job's passing on the 5th via IT world, but also, that I could find NO reference anywhere that he was , in fact "found dead" as the article referenced, but in fact was accompanied by friends and family during his passing.. (I don't know the exact quote, but it was to that effect).
I add my sympathies. There is nothing else one could say that isn't already known by the whole world...
Um.. I can't remember a single instance of a 'crap law' ever *being* repealed.. once they pass these lemons, we're stuck with them.. and 'tough on crime ' always occurs around election time, and usually only amounts to criminalizing more activities, or longer sentences.. giving someone 300 years instead of 200.. because after all, it's not like our courts are busy, and our prisons overcrowded.. I'm sure we've got enough room for up to half our population,
Yup.. that'll work.. after all , there's no economic crisis happening, and there's plenty of unemployed folks to apply for prison guards, or 'paid informants' to rat out their pot smokin' granny.
Ain't Democracy grand?
Have they also discovered the mechanism by which immunity to HIV is conferred in a small segment of the population?.. The human body is riddled with sugars such as this beta-cyclodextrin.. i would not be surprised if this is the exact mechanism implemented naturally..
It occurs to me that since there is firm evidence of repeated repeated near extinction level events occuring to the earth (variously attributed to polar shifts, sunspots etc.. occuring in cycles of anywhere fron 3600, 6500, ort 16000 years (take your pick), that Australia has repeatedly ridden them out.. it may well be the safest place on earth then ( if you believe in such things.. which I do due to the incontestable geological evidence)
So he got a little boasty..
The original Trek does have one thing that it shares with the 70's Doctor Who episodes , and that's the cheesy cardboard cut-out effects, if there were any at all.. it forced you to use your imagination, and making it (original Trek especially) far more character based, than effects driven...
I've been a musician for 35 years.. and I gotta say, I have NEVER found a 'clever' way to sort em.. basically, draw it on paper, and tape 'em where they converge , and tape em where they diverge..
Best i know...
I remember! tried to make a go via 'drop shipping' back i n '70.
No tax unless they lived in my province (see was the same in canada)..
It was too early to get into that with long delivery times, too many returns.. and poor product to choose from.. only 5 years later all changed.. but by that time i hsd tried '900' datelines'
again.. too early...;-(
!977.. tried building computers..
Yup... too early.. although i did suffer through learning machine code (aaaaaaargh)
Uh.. proving something *didn't* happen? How does that work, exactly?
It's darn near *impossible* to prove 'innocence' of a charge.. as opposed to 'not guilty' which simply implies lack of evidence.
What kind of 'evidence' though, could one ever supply to prove something *didn't* happen?
Well, all the people currently serving as our elected officials have all had measles shots..
so using the same "logic' that the shots cause autism.. your probably right about the stupidity thind.
after all... all elephants are pink..
Actually, i always thought Gibson was *very* environmentally conscientious..
But you know what.. when people start going without food or are otherwise disinherited in order to make a fucking tree happy.. i feel like puking;-(
Has nobody yet figured out it's the old 'con men' trick.. they don't get you by being nasty.. they pretend they're 'the other (nice) guys' and they're in *your* corner..
But they say one thing, and do another.. or put a different way...they say 'don't be evil' but they *do* evil.
If you wanted more proof.. take note of Google DNS.. a purportedly 'unfiltered' dns service that has been blocking *tons* of music sharing sites, that *are* accessible via, say OPEN DNS...
So there...
How's about something helpful? This guy only posted a *link* to the real alternative.. regardless of whether they're 'legit' or not..
The point is this guy could NEVER afford to fight them.. and their stinking practices of stealing all his hardware and shaking him down must be impossible for him to afford.
If we let basterds like Real off, simply because they've got the money and power, we're *all* gonna have to pay down the road..
There must be *somebody* on/. who'se actually made some money off tech or the net..
How's about giving him a hand?
Really!!
Well. I'm thrilled.. this means free internet from now on.!
Do you *really* think that M$ would be able to get away with requiring you to be online in order to use the OS, without subsidizing the 'net ?......Just waiting for the 'gaggle' of lawsuits...
I'm sorry, but the FACT is , that in EVERY recording contract.. the artists DO finance it themselves.. on the strength of a loan made to them.. which is taken out of every dollar they earn from that moment on until it is paid back IN FULL.
THe artists have a moral right to claim ownership of their creations.. and irrespective of the legal position (which DOES support that anyways). any society which is so 'green crazy' that they don't immediately recognize that is already rotten to the core... IMHO...
Although you have probably deduced my profession , my personal bias in no way lessens the truth of this statement.....
If they *didn't* do that, the shareholders would certainly make sure that that was the last move that the current C.E.O. made..
Sure, it's artificial market segmentation.. and it just *feels* wrong to the majority of folks. but most modern business practiced *feel* wrong anyways these days..
You have to remember, who is the most important demographic to any public corporation?
The shareholders, naturally...
The *public*...well...hmmm....
Actually, tubes are quite *cheap*.. i can't remember how much, but I was checking out 6L6's and 6CA7's (the power tubes) that were being sold by some outfit in california.. i think it was the main guitar amp tube supplier (don't recall who) and i recall thinking that the price hadn't gone up in 30 years!
Absolutely.. viruses are, in fact , the biological equivalent of, essentially, evil code.. they neither spin nor toil.. they're a blight.
Anyone who doubts a devil might think again after seeing what viruses actually are..
I hope this thing is real as advertised. We can't wipe these things off the face of the earth soon enough, and if it takes a few cells along with it.. so much the better.
But excuse any ignorance, but, don't viruses inhabit ALL the cells in a host, meaning.. if it kills the cells, won't it kill the host too?
Unbelievable!! True socio-schizo mania.. is bound to follow.. when over 10% hold an 'unshakable belief' in one religion.. and another over 10% group hold a *contradictory* 'unshakable belief'....does the society adopt *both* 'unshakable beliefs'.. together..?
This is a WACKY interpretation of an *old* idea about *ideas* occurring spontaneously to the majority after at least 10% think of it..
Not very good *as is* for a term paper as it's been known for ever, but change 'idea' to 'unshakable belief' on your paper, and you might slide this one past the prof on a busy friday;-)
Unfortunately, the damage is already done.. the remaster campaign has already been in full swing,, destroying (er,... 'remastering') all those classics that *Used* to have dynamic passages.. Hows about 'The Who' remasters ( 'A Quick One' will blow out your speakers it so bad;=(.
Unfortunately Steve Hoffman simply couldn't save more than a few albums compared to the amount out there that were attacked by those grubby handed 'crank it mate'. producers/ engineers... so many will be lost to history.. at least the concept of dynamics , in them

Isn't April 1st the agreed time for these pranks? after the 'Cat owners are smarter' one, which everybody swallowed up.. Has nobody learned yet? ;-)
