i would say that 'liveness' as you put it relies upon several factors, one being 'acoustics'. The particular venue is irreplaceable by digital or even analog recording capabilities. you can not possibly replicate the sound of the Sydney Amphitheatre with an orchestra/individual playing, via any recorded means.
That was a very good synopsis of what analog really means! Thank you for posting!
Mod this up.
Composition rules. Digital always wants to take the 'easy route' and simply 'composite' which is not the same as composition... which requires not only skill but experience and insight as well.
Yeah that seems to happen a lot in the wake of social and politcal revolution. i know it's been a decade roughly but there are still ripples of influence from the adhoc, 'let's get anyone non-racist into power' stupid or not. Look at the eastern block and russian states.
I agree wholeheartedly with this opinion... please mod up.
Kevin here also seems to agree... calling our airwaves a 'precious natural resource'.

"Spectrum management decisions are always complex and challenging," said Kevin J. Martin, another FCC commissioner. "In an environment where the amount of unencumbered spectrum is decreasing while demand continues to grow, it is even more critical we make interference and sharing decisions that do not waste this precious natural resource."
Are you the guy pirating my WiFi signal?/. for free huh? costs me at least $15/month at home, 'free' at work though. $15/month means I have roomates not some ultra cheap broadband access.
I'd think that at some point wireless will be ubiquitous like cell bands and you won't need to broadcast your own.. isn't that what you meant by 'success story'.
Not broadcasting your own means much less interference AFAIK. This will happen soonest in tightly populated areas.. looked to Japan to be the first to have public access WiFI.
Course i have to ask how does WiFI scale to N users per square mile/km?
So if a random user on a network of OS X machines with multiple accounts per machine (school lab or such) this makes it really easy to assume another identity?
Quite nice actually since it was mail from an ex (she had 24 piercings, 2 on each nipple and very fun ideas about intimacy) that had run off to get married to another ex of her's... she'll be back in town soon too, just in time to meet my current girlfriend before she leaves for Taiwan/Taipei to teach English to 8-12 yr olds for 6 weeks.

Really good stuff. Historical case studies of when and how to use power. Of course you have to interpret it for your situation but very interesting reading.
Do you mean like 'romance' novels or 'who-dunnits'... non sci-fi / non geeky? Is there anything else that's real and NOT on the Oprah list?

I agree with your sentiments completely and have maintained spelling accuracy to go along with that for the duration of my 'speel'.
Buying accessories may be fun for 'hobbies' where you are the only one required to participate, but for sports and other team/league affiliated interests, economy and quality of actual play is much more important.

You might be surprise at how many lbs per in. squared go in to a good tennis swat. Definitely more than enough to power an efficient piezo device that will improve your stroke tens of percents.
I see streaming concerts ala pay-per-view in the near future raking in big bucks.
The biggest problem about concerts is their location oriented cash flow. once you decentralize concerts you will see artists performing more and gaining higher value in the marketplace. This won't stop attendance to concerts in the same way that boxing matches and other sporting events are still attended while an at home audience views at their convenience.

I'm thinking you should start a branch of Lindows and title it 'RedNeck' just to piss off RedHat while simultaneously pissing of Microsoft.

your use of C#? is disturbing on /. If java well, it's just strange.
Is that like www.sluggy.com ?
The comic is soooo nifty!
Thanks OG! It's feels really nice to get positive feedback sometimes. I'll take you up on the offer and read some new stuff.
yeah but the real question is do you like my sig?

What can you do with it? I'd like to know.

I'm curious, someone fill the details.
Yeah and on OS X you only need to remember this part:

If you weren't a student and didn't know better, somone would tear you a new one... MSCS indeed. Well I suppose a paycheck is the payoff but still...

If that worked Microsoft would have made Windows 'unbreakable' a long time ago!!!1 :-p
