well, Moog Music doesn't sue anyone anymore, because they're not currently producing any new
Moogs (the Moog Musics on the web are not the same company).
i do know of one suit, and that fell on Yamaha for their 12dB filter in the CS5 (a cute little
keyboard, i must say). i think they settled out of court or something. i could look it up, but i
don't care enough.
you linked to VintageVinyl.com, which is, in fact, St. Louis' Vintage Vinyl. i know, because i go there FAR too often and spend FAR too much money there. that's all.
here's what you do; go in at night, when you'll be relatively alone. then you take all the Sun hardware out to your car, and drive home. then you send it to me. we can even do it COD. okay?
i don't think that the company needs a policy expressly stating that all email is their property, it should be a given. obviously, there should be a code of conduct that office workers are made to understand that clearly states that there should be no pornography passed around the office, be it in email or on paper.
however, this company is within every right to read their employees email. it is THEIR company, not yours. if you don't like it, you don't have to work there. if you find that highly objectionable, then you really should talk to your companies higher-ups about it, and attempt to persude them to change their policy. if they don't and you are still strongly opposed, i suggest you get a job elsewhere.
(this comment will probably seem redundant, but) it looks like Microsoft has finally taken care of the problem, albeit temporarily. Hotmail's main address is down and the server was obviously instructed not to let anyone in.
it really was fun while it lasted. i tried names at random (bob, billgates, jane). i thought about checking my friends account, but that just seemed downright wrong.
Transmeta isn't exactly thriving on this mystery. since they don't have a product, it currently doesn't matter what people really think of them. obviously they have SOMETHING. i doubt that they just sit around the office sipping coffee all day.
werd to Carl Sagan. i'm completely straight-edge, in that i don't smoke, drink or use any type of drug. i never have and i don't ever plan to. but recently, i've been considering joining NORML, just because i cannot see a valid reason for marijuana to be illegal. i feel that it should be a controlled substance, like anything else, but prohibition against marijuana has been a resounding failure.
i wonder how many non-pot smokers feel the way i do?
just because some people at the convention center thought that the penguins were prehaps being mistreated, doesn't mean they're ignoring bigger problems. people don't shelve concerns about "rape, murder, [and] theft" because they care about animals. what rational person does NOT concern over these issues?
regardless, that doesn't mean it's okay to harm animals.
there's a man named Craig Anderton who publishes a book that is more or less exactly what you're looking for. it's called "Electronics Project for Musicians" and you can probably get it from Amazon or i know you can get it from Paia.
speaking of Paia, i believe that they sell a mixer kit for like $30 or something.
also, just check out Paia for all your musical needs, because they really have the best kits out there and you can always build cheaper and better than you can buy.
on the contrary, i have a wide variety of pens, pencils, charcoals, paints, papers, etc. at my disposal in my room, where i do most of my writing.
time is not an issue when i'm writing to someone i care about. obviously, i enjoy receiving hand-written letters more than email, but i'm not at all knocking it. i send and recieve dozens of emails a day. email is actually great for conversations with some people. a friend at work, at school, etc.
but when my friend Brooke writes me from art school, it's nice to see her hand-made, beautifully-painted letters before i even get to read her words. and as far as being ABLE to read the words, more often than not, reading the words is not a problem at all. anyone who takes the time to write me, takes the time to make it ledgible.
humorously enough, my best friend Ashley, due to a disorder in his brain, is almost completely illedgible via the computer, but his hardwriting in just fine.
who doesn't perfer a handwritten letter on an interesting piece of stationary and a decorative envelope to a bunch of 1's and 0's from anyone who takes two minutes to write? snail mail from friends and loved ones is so much more heartfelt that email. email is boring.
that's pretty funny. i've only seen one ad for fatbrain.com and that was the one that angered me. so now, whenever i pick up Wired and read their ad, i'm going to use you as a reference.
"i know a guy who knows their marketing director, and he says..."
simply because of the fact that they seem to imply that their clientele are somehow smarter than myself, or that, by shopping there, i will become vastly more intelligent than my current self.
"because great brains think a lot!"
the only people i can really see this appealing to are honor roll kids from back in high school (i wish i could drop names, but it's not as though anyone here would know).
of course, it's all just advertising, but i don't like their cockiness.
"if you IQ is larger than your body weight, check out FatBrain.com!"...fuck you.
just to clarify, Fat Mike and his wife are the sole proprieters of Fat Wreck Chords, which they started in 1993 with an EP release from Fat Mike's band, NOFX. but yeah, Fat Mike has been founded NOFX and has been playing in said back for 15-someodd years.
as for his heroin addiction, a few people say that he's back at it, again. alledgely, Epitaph isn't doing so hot, since almost all the music they've put out in the last year has sold like poop (probably because dumb punk rock gets old after 15 years).

hey! you stole me joke!
funny, because i read morrissey-solo fairly often, but i never really noticed the obvious influences. how ironic, in a strange way.
"gabber"? sorry, i don't speak your crazy moon language.
the only music that matters.
is the day that i move to the forest. who's coming with me?
we can even bring computers, we just won't embed them in our flesh.

and the screenshot is even in PNG format. how ironic, considering today's earlier articles.
