Tower Records were run by scum. Had several friends work for them back in the day. The founder said in the interview that his justification for paying his employees minimum wage without benefits was that each and every one of them was stealing from him. Talk about a great work environment...
I've always held that the worst mistake Adobe made with Premiere Pro is keeping the stupid-ass legacy name. Premiere Pro is a new program, built from the ground up. Every previous program with the Premiere moniker is, as the OP says, complete ass. I know... I used them all. I cut my latest feature with Premiere Pro, and I gotta say, it has it's quirks, but it's good. Real good. You might want to hold your nose, look past the name, and give it a quick look.
I've heard about this tone for sometime, but only now clicked that link. To my surprise, I could hear this loud and clear. I'm 36 and spend much of my youth going to live and very loud shows. So I guess this means that this deterrent doesn't work as billed on me.
Wouldn't want to try this face melting thing... if that doesn't work as billed...
The main reason Americans don't travel is because they know virtually nothing about the world outside of the US & everyone fears the unkown.
Yeah, that and the fact that everything else is FAR! I haven't been to 20 countries, but I've been to 20 states... if I lived in Europe, a train could take me through 4 countries in a day.
I'm drooling to get to Japan. But it's half a world away from me, and I don't have the cash, or the requisite time off to get there yet.

Commercial Radio has been a wasteland for years. The corruption supposedly cleaned up years ago has never gone away... it's only worse. Payola, collusion, constant ads, and hearing the same song 3 times on the drive home... who is going to miss that?
Ah, but you see, that's the beauty of the English language. It evolves. The tide has turned on 'Hacker', no matter how many letters to the editor you send.
But hey, you can always come up with a spiffy new label. How about 'computrix'? Has a ring... a bit naughty...
How? Consider a man on a spaceship travelling at high speeds. Upon the floor of his spaceship is a laser, a light sensor, both connected to a very accurate stopwatch. Upon the ceiling is a mirror. When the man presses a button, the laser beam is fired up at the mirror, and the stopwatch starts timing. The laser beam will bounce off the mirror, hit the light sensor, and the stopwatch will stop. Thus, the man will now know the time it takes for a laser beam to cover the distance between the laser beam, the mirror, and the light sensor.
Recruits who are fans of 'Ozzy' Osbourne are automatically given low security clearance as well, while those who enjoy the "Heavy Metal" band Judas Priest are automatically put on suicide watch.
Where is the Israeli army getting their youth culture intelligence... 1982?
Traffic is usually not too bad, at least compared to Silicon Valley. Are you mad? Traffic may not be horrible if you're working and living in Beaverton (although it is bad), but if you're taking the Sunset Hwy into town, forget it. That evil hill was the primary reason for my relocation to the east side. Commuting on the Sunset is getting so bad, that when I drive out to the folks at 3pm on Sunday, there's traffic.
Another reason the RIAA are scared shitless is because of ME. Not only are they afraid of the collapse of prices now that their distribution 'model/monopoly' is broken, but they've made a business out of what really is an art. I'm a musician, and I want to make music. I gladly let my music be traded on the Internet, because I'm not in it for the money, I'm do it because I love it. The RIAA knows I'm not the only one out there.
Music will be around long after the RIAA crashes and burns... it will last as long as us humans have some sticks and rocks to bang together.
I hate the "It's supposed to be a serial, it's all for fun!" argument! Look, the original series was enjoyable. The current series is not. None of it is high cinema, but when you're doing 'B' movies, you shouldn't forget the entertainment.
Actually, the sound engineer, the studio managers, the pre press engineer, and the factory worker have already been paid in full. It's the Artist that the music industry shackles into indentured servitude through the corrupt system of 'royalties'.
Whoa, whoa! Hollywood is vapid and empty, but the 'R' rating is seen as the kiss of death. With the success of one or two big budget R titles like the Matrix, that's beginning to change again, but by and large Hollywood is much cleaner today than it was in the 80's. Not nearly as many boobies scenes, or swearing. Pop in Scarface. You wouldn't see that movie made today.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah, like that kind of too helpful.

How do you like your flame wars? Holy, or Trollish?
Short answer... no.
Long answer... hmmmm... still no.

Considering the series is 'dead in the water' so to speak.
Gaiman is great, but being a giant in the field, he really don't need the extra press... here are some guys in the trenches who do:
*Pablo's Inferno by Rhode Montejo
*Emily and the Intergalactic Lemonade Stand by Ian and Ty Smith
*Sonambulo by Rafael Navarro
*Babyhead by Chris Jordan
And there are a ton more... something for everyone!
Um... no. The sequals just plain sucked. No 'cool conspiricy' was enacted to bring them down. They sucked a suckitude all their own.

Matt Groening is from Beaverton. A nit, but those from Portland will understand me picking it.

Of course I'll see this movie, but I'm going into it knowing I'll be laughing at, rather than actually caring for, the characters.
Why go? Cut your losses. I did.
Actually, the sound engineer, the studio managers, the pre press engineer, and the factory worker have already been paid in full. It's the Artist that the music industry shackles into indentured servitude through the corrupt system of 'royalties'.
But how can it determine?
Easy! All music is copyrighted at conception. The whole 'music' part is the fingerprint.
Wish I could share my own music that I write with people over P2P, but luckily programs like this save me from myself. Whew!
