how do you handle it when you turn OFF auto updates but Microsoft pushes them out to your servers ANYWAY, forcing restarts during production hours? that part always pisses me off.
Butch Vig's best record is probably Garbage - Version 2.0 which still sounds modern as fuck. Nirvana may have changed the world but I'm really bored of their material.
wow, flutter. yep heard all that. and there are digital tools for removing that from your recordings, or for adding it to digital recordings if you really want your stuff to sound like shitty analog.
Albini hates being called an Engineer. He prefers the term "recordist".
Shellac, his band, takes a bit of listening to get used to. Talented musicians, but angry and drawing on a great deal of angst. He's got a killer mic collection, however, and will pretty much record anyone who will pay him to record their band.
not all engineers do due diligence when writing down notes regarding tracks. and how many mp3's have you seen with messed-up metadata?
you can add notes within protools and probably several other DAW file formats. but opening a an older daw file in a 3-version newer app is nearly impossible. thanks, Logic Pro X for returning the ability to read Logic 5 files. Now I can dump my G4.
yep, not many people have the ability to play back 78's, wire recordings, 8 tracks, minidiscs, etc.
and digital files are difficult to open from floppy diskettes, especially if the original file format is for a program that no longer exists (opcode vision for Mac OS8 anyone? how about dr T's for DOS?)
hilarious. iran already IS living in the dark ages, following fake prophets for a fake god. i bet there's a thousand hog farmers in america willing to donate pigs for us to drop atop iranian mosques.
The NRA's main purpose is to keep it legal for white men to own guns to shoot black men, pure and simple. Their work allows all men to kill all men. It's a dumb organization with a hateful, harmful purpose and lots of wrong has been done thanks to their efforts.
The problem is BUSING. Too many schools get suckered into providing expensive transportation for kids. Oodles of scarce dollars get sucked into the black hole called $4.80/gallon > schoolbus. If we would just stop the shell game of "magnet schools" and focus on making GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS then parents would be happy and schools wouldn't have to waste money on gassing up inefficient school buses.
um, how about Apple being the first company to successfully market a Unix-based OS to consumers? they sold shitload more computers than Sun, and there's way more OSX in use today than Ubuntu. probably because it works better, and it got started in the early 2000's.
we can also thank Apple for packaging together lots of useful features that weren't standard in the pc industry for years, such as mouse support, onboard 4-voice audio and built-in optical drives. until Windows 95, these weren't standard pc functions. and i know it was developed elsewhere, but having a 3.5" floppy drive beat the fuck out of using 5.25" disks. and working with Macs in the 1980's taught me tons about SCSI before I supported it on windows-based servers in the 1990's.
i'm so tired of all the vitriol spewed at apple for "stealing other people's work". they've innovated the hell out of the tech industry and you should be grateful you morons. just having an item or a concept isn't useful until it's affordable and easy enough for lots of people to use it without hassle.
in Putin's Russia, you can be arrested for voicing political dissent, especially with regard to the state-controlled media. That's not exactly the freedom we know and love here in America, where the major news shows refuse to promote true and open dissent, and would rather feature the FUCKING KARDASHIANS ON A "NEWS" SHOW.
the irony, of course, is that nobody warns travelers about visiting Russia because we already know that Putin, who's been running the country for years and years, is an "elected president" in name only, and pretty much serves as an unelected, KGB-sponsored dictator. There is little evidence to suggest that Russia would give anyone a fair trial. ex. Pussy Riot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_Riot
So it's not like we have free and open discussion of current events here. The funneling of the messages on corporate-sponsored television is pretty horrible in America.
had the crappiest time using FaceTime for D&D last Wednesday. Knowing that I'm not using a direct connection would explain the crappy video quality, frequent disconnects, and audio dropouts. Guess we'll have to start using a second SKYPE account.

weeks? YEARS in some cases.

50 years? you optimist.

except if you're a congressman and you lie to congress, or to your constituents. that's just called doing business.
going after ISP's for internet crimes means that they should go after the car companies and car dealerships for selling getaway cars.
by some standards, HIROSHIMA was a merciful act, preventing WWII from going on as long as it might have.

Bush opened the door to a hostile foreign policy, which Obama and his minions (Clinton, Kerry) have continued.

For 9/11 style protection, the wall should be built on the Canadian border. Just a reminder that the terrorist pilots entered the US through Canada.
better to leave all your devices at home, or never travel abroad.

you could choke on almost anything sold in a dollar store. does it mean that they're selling death machines?
how darwinian of you :)
let's stop stupid people from pissing in the gene pool by giving everyone buckyballs!
fucking banks, they don't have parents. or morals. or plain old human decency. yet they're more criminal than the magnet magnate.
