    wasn't me

    I troll logged-in ALWAYS, and I don't crap-flood.

  2. Re:Post Comment on LaserMonks Offer Prayer, Printer Cartridges · · Score: 1

    I just found this comment - I have trolled many, many times but never bothered with a cut n paste or a page widener. Why do you think the inclusion of my login name in the cut n paste means I posted it? I am WELL KNOWN for ALWAYS trolling as myself, and I take it as an insult that I'd be assumed liliy-livered enough to post ANYTHING as an AC.

    I have nothing to hide, save my email address.

    I can't prove that I didn't do the page widener, but my posting history speaks for itself, I will post whatever garbage and insults come into my head, I have no fear of moderation.

  3. Re:choice on Microsoft Unhappy With HP's iTunes Decision · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, quite - I use iTunes on my Mac in conjunction with Aeroplayer on my Palm Tungsten T2 - sure my 512MB SD card doesn't have iPod rivalling capacity, but I only walk 2 miles to work so it's not like I've got time to listen to THAT much stuff anyway. I use iTunes the old fashioned way - non-DRM, high bit rate, MP3 style.

    And I like it!

    Oh, right.

    Damn that BT monopoly! That must be why I use NTL's stand alone cable service, though it's hardly cheap by international standards, it beats BT's crapathon by a margin.

    I pay 24.99 UKP (45.89 USD) PCM for NTL's 600/128 service, though that has been my total outlay - no set up / installation / connection fees at all, and service has been rock solid for 18months. Apparently there is a 30GB/pcm cap on usage but I've never even come close.

    Cooperate?

    With Americans?

    In the same way that we cooperated with you after the war, you mean - you steal all our data, then our people, then our aircraft industry is fucked because you don't buy foreign 'planes anyway.

    That's cooperation American style.

    The other explanation - shocking in its implications - is that the American public education system is a sick joke, all the more depressing for the amount of (borrowed) money that the American government spends on military aid to prop up its client states abroad and military adventures to serve the aims of its controlling petrochemical industry.

    But we are repeatedly told by Apple that they routinely make their AACs from masters, not from CDs.

    if the CD is not the distribution method, why be constrained by it's format?

    The "original WAV"?

    And just what - pray tell - would that be? You do realise that decimation to a 16bit 44.1Khz PCM file is merely a part of the mastering process? Most recordings these days start out an AWFUL lot bigger than that.

    That's EXACTLY AMD's problem. People like me can't buy their gear even though we'd like to because third party developers don't bother to support AMD CPUs.

    Funnily enough, it's not my business to crusade on AMD's behalf, I have actual work to do. I'd far rather use a Mac anyway.

    There's no point trying to bring rational though and facts into this discussion, the grandparent is trying to make some feeble point about the superiority of American cars, thereby reinforcing his ego with national pride.

    The fact that what he's writing is complete nonsense is of little consequence.

    Specifically - our DPS Reality DDRs are NOT SUPPORTED running on AMD systems. We use Pentium 4 or we get not support.

    I know that these issues have little bearing in your mom's basement, but in the real world shit like this MATTERS.

    What? We've just moved most of our workstattions from Athlon XP to Pentium 4 because of poor application support for AMD.

    AMD are making excellent products, but fear, laziness and general inertia are keeping Intel in front just like they're keeping Microsoft in front. I wish it would change but my experience suggests otherwise.

    I have bought a) a Mac Colour Classic, b) a Mac Quadra 800, c) a PowerMac 7100, d) a PowerMac G3 Yosemite and d) a PowerMac G4 Gigabit Ethernet with my OWN MONEY. None have EVER had a hardware problem.

    For work I have bought many more machines from Apple, none of which have EVER had a hardware problem. The only Mac I know of ever failing in hardware was my brother's original iMac, the (CRT) display of which failed after 5 years in a humid environment - he should have bought a dehumidifier, I reckon.
