  1. Re:I don't know what to say. on Consumer Electronics Make Music · · Score: 1

    I down loaded some of the MP3's. It isn't music. I sounds like some piped a flawed PRNG thru /dev/audio.

    I was and is just horriable sounding.

    That is worse than techno. I mean, it sounds like someone took a cat and pluged said cat into the wall. That isn't music, it is noise.

    You sound just like the people who run Ground Zero Comics in Tyler, Texas. Almost everything in the store is shrinkwraped and they get upset if you browse for more than 10 minutes. Plus, for such 'good' service they charge full retail price and do not allow returns.

    Any wonder why so many people no longer shop at their FLGS?

    How fucking stupid do you have to be to realize that this was a BAD THING? Damn, perhaps if Cisco stopped spending so much on stupid ads and rethought its dev process stupid shit like this would not happen.

    Quite a few Baptists in the South believe it. Ashcroft belongs to a sect that does and so does Longview Baptist Temple in Longview, TX (they have thousands of members and a fleet of busses that bus in people from 100+ miles away.)

    I know a woman that was kicked out of the above church because she was seen sitting with a male member of the church at the McDonalds where she worked. She was on break and he sat with her for less than 5 minutes. She was kicked out of their college because of it.

  15. Re:Dear dear dear on U.S. Justice Department Prepares Assault on Pr0n · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, the uproar came from people who let OTHERS tell them what the Bible has to say about sex rather than reading what it for themselves.

    That is the major problem with religion, people won't read the Holy Books for themselves, they depend on others to do it for them and then 'explain' it to them. But the people doing the explaining sometimes corrupt the message for personal gain.

  16. Texas. on Task Force Finds Blackout Was Preventable · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One nice thing about the electrical grid in the state of Texas is that it is, pretty much, it's own selfcontained grid.

  20. Wrong questions on Sake Used to Make Wooden Speakers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For Audiophiles the questions isn't how they sound, it's how much they cost and how they flavor the sound. If this takes off in the land on 'Electrons flow better if you hook a cable up one way, but if you reverse it it sounds worse' expect to see fights breaking out on what brand of Sake is best for this application.

    The Computing Research Association's annual Taulbee Survey tracks enrollments at U.S. and Canadian universities granting doctorates in computer science. The numbers of undergraduates surveyed -- showing a fall from 94,461 to 76,844 for enrollment and 23,033 to 17,706 for newly declared majors -- represent an estimated one-third of the total in all institutions. But researchers said they believed that their findings accurately reflect trends in computer education across the nation.
