    Period. No matter what kind it is. With all of the crypto-speak (whence-to ,where-in, where-as, hither-none-for-to-be-able-to, you get the idea) who wants to read it? They write them in such a way that feeds the need to hire some one to interpret the damn things. It feeds a whole different industry.

    I have been asking the question "what will be the ultimate solution to the fact that digital is not true 1 to 1 compression/transfer in the audio world?" If this unlocked the mystery, I accept it with open arms.

    I think the same technology has been used in the Stage Craft Lighting industry for the last couple of years. I can't remember if it was Martin or HighEnd Systems, or Varilite. They boasted a moving light unit that possessed 140,000 individually controlled 'mirrors' that rode on the back of a chip that were switchable. They produced sharp images from 60 feet in the air with amazing acuracy. Price? $180,000 each.

    Does make sense to route traffic from a centralized location? This I say in regards to the Hostage DOS attacks reported two weeks ago. UUNet obligingly dedicated equipment to observe traffic.
    (i think that's what i understood to be the case)
    No one is in favor of the All-Knowing-Eye-In-The-Sky. In special circumstances it is necessary, like the one I just mentioned. No one likes to be watched. So do people stop doing stuff worth watching or do they get smarter and get away with stuff out being watched.

    I hope I'm not missing the point of this article. I do think that with all of the dime-a-dozen access providers out there, there should be some standard set before it gets way out of hand. I see a lot of questions being asked, and maybe I'm looking for an answer too soon in the game. Hence the workshop. Will we see more of a solidified modus operundi when the dust settles?

    Okay, I multiplied 0.3 x 3=0.9 (average time it takes to punch a number on the phone in seconds)(x)(extra numbers)= (average extra time to dial 3 more numbers) Then I took 0.9 and multiplied it by 200 business calls a day
    and came up with 180 seconds. That divided by 60 (seconds in a minute) and came up with three minutes.

    Opera. I like it. Costs? Too bad you have to pay when you download under the false pretesnses that you are getting 5.0 when in fact it's 4.2. Is there an upgrade to the 4.2? The immediate startup is fast. Doesn't dim the lights in the room or any thing from dragging down system memory. It loads pages quickly. Like the stats scrolling by in the lower window. Handy. Page weight is always a bonus. Mail looks like it's a breeze to set up. Unlike cryptic, laggy, browser N. I was happy to see good Flash support, though I don't get too in to Flash heavy sites. Cool. I like it. Ads? Nothing is as anoying as the stupid Finlandia Flash window that keeps popping up in IE for the last three days, every hour on the hour. Bastards!

    Circumvention is the mother of invention. Get yourself an audio program [Sonic Foundry] that will record the imported signal from the system at the same time it's playing. Set it to record at the same time you are listening to the file. Once you have reproduced the MP3 on your drive. (yes it does consume some serious space) Save and burn to disk. Then run out and buy the hottest damn Mp3 multiformat CD player you can find. Port that back in to the Mic input to the card. Listen to and store as much damn music as you see fit. You get hard copy and the ability to play back with out having the File parse the info when accessed from a local drive. Circumventing completed.

    Listen to what I'm saying. It's a hack, and I'm a musician with songs on MP3. WTF!!!!????

    I don't know the ultimate answer. I release songs for the people, not the money. If I happen to get paid in the process, then that becomes a big fat frickin' bonus. I realise the beast that has been created. Either feed it, or get eaten.
