because 23:59:60 isn't 00:00:00. It's 00:00:00-1. Ergo, it should read 23:59:60 otherwise you'll catch the clock in an endless loop as it repeatedly applies the adjustment to 23:59:59 so it reads 23:59:59 again, to have it happen just once you just make the last minute of that one particular day last 61 seconds (remember this is an adjustment to STORED TIME, not DISPLAYED TIME).
time is stored in UT and converted for display - DST/TZ is added between stored value and displayed value. Stored time is ALWAYS in UT, that never changes. That's why databases don't fall arse over tit every time the DST switch is thrown.
the jpeg "fullsize" is actually not, it's about 9kx4k. The original fullsize mosaic is nearly 70k by 20k, you only get that if you bother to download off the magnet link.
it's still the best thing going, when it comes to replacing my MD gear I've already got that sorted: lossless recording via Audacity at 48kHz with the same microphone I've been using for MD. A portable MD recorder is a better option than lugging a netbook around, though, so while I still have that option I'll just carry on using it.:)
nervous=suspicious according to the police training manuals. They will Terry Stop you if you even *look* like you don't belong. Walking with your hands in your pockets? Prepare for a kerb search. It's standard procedure in just about every jurisdiction now.
Anecdote: I grew up in a city suburb. Ironically, the other week I was escorted out of the neighbourhood I GREW UP IN by a police officer who thought that I might be endangering myself just by being there. Just because I was wearing a thick leather jacket. Apparently people round those parts wear windcheaters or hoodies now.
being as each session rarely goes more than an hour, I use SP mode and carry half a dozen spare discs. I have plenty of discs, yet each is infinitely re-recordable (not had one fail yet after twenty years). And who the fuck uses compression on session recording masters??
basically, it's when a valve that would ordinarily be held closed by a pressure gradient (or a mechanical spring) favouring its swing side is missing that pressure gradient and being pulled open by backpressure or another, external force such as gravity. It's like when an airliner does a water landing. The doors would ordinarily hold the air in because they act like valves - the pressure inside the cabin holds them in place. When the airframe is under water, external pressure exceeds internal pressure, and the door seals will inevitably fail. Lesson for the day: in the event of a water landing, get the fuck out of the aircraft.
given that the SD 1.0 standard is deprecated, and that to be supplied preformatted (AT ALL) a card can ONLY be formatted wtih exFAT (necessitating a licence from Microsoft) and still be called "SD-anything", necessarily so.
2. In your opinion. I'm sure there are people who get PAID to critique movies who would heartily disagree with you.
3. PS1, PS2 and PS3 hold three of the four top spots of the greatest selling video games consoles of all time. Nintendo hold #3 spot with the Wii. Source: Tekrevue. By what metric is the PS3 an "also-ran"??
my laptop has JBL speakers in it. Funnily enough, the drivers look pretty identical to the ones out of my Dell laptop. Sound about the same as well (ie shit). I thought JBL speakers were supposed to be good?
love minidisc, fucking hate the lock-in. I don't use Sonicstage because of the lock-in and the fact that it crashes like Richard Hammond on roofies. Analogue hole all the way here, but I do sometimes miss the insane speed of USB. Which basically means I use MD for live recording and streaming transfer to my editing suite.
polygraph exams are designed not so much to stress you but to trip you up with a series of simple yes/no questions then all of a sudden, they hit you with one so loaded you can't answer it without incriminating yourself - but you HAVE to answer it to conform to the test conditions!

uh... it is slowing down, by an average of about a millisecond a year, due to tidal friction against the gravitational pull of the Moon.

NOBODY wants a self driving car!
oh additionally: the full resolution image is a photoshop binary. GIMP won't open it. No filters available.

after a bit of digging around I managed to locate a magnet link for the 4.31GB 60kx20k image.

that's not lens flare, it's wire diffraction.
Pillars of Creation is getting set for a cropping, and the M31 mosaic is just too damn big for anything but zipping around with Preview.
I know you were plumping for a +1 Funny, but that is totally true. See http://slashdot.org/comments.p... and followup.

ever considered it might not actually be the hardware that's locking the tray?

try not to look so nervous, or you might find yourself being seen as a threat.
the 1.0 specification, with the max capacity at 64MB??
mod parent "+1 hysterically ironic". BOSE?? Of all the steaming great piles of SHIT to compare to Sony, you pick BOSE!?

tried using an emergency mechanical ejection tool?
let's see peer-reviewed, double blind studies.
Or I'm calling it.

When I say "loaded", I mean something like:
"Have you stopped fucking your neighbour's dog?"
