Getting metal tapes to perform was a challenge. They weren't worth the money unless you had a high end deck. I had JVC and TEAC, and although they claimed to support metal tapes they sounded way better with chrome.
Had to use compression otherwise the hiss would make dynamic range pretty small.
You mean, like Dolby B/C? Yeah, that went with the territory. You got 60 dB S/N on a good deck with Dolby on, maybe 70 if you used chrome tapes. Use high quality TDK, Maxell, or Memorex in a quality deck, and they rarely broke. Couldn't burn to a CD back then. That S/N ratio rivaled vinyl. I bet your PC sucked back then, too. Total garbage, couldn't even do 4K res video at 60 fps!
Whether this is a step toward "death panels" or not, were we to have single payer here in the USA this would be unconstitutional. Everyone should be treated equally under the law.
This. The mere presence of the cardboard box puts all the felines on high alert. Good luck from that point, because once you open it and begin assembly, no matter what piece you reach for there will already be a cat sitting on it.
"Right to Work" is not some blanket designation for "bad workplace policies that I want government to abolish". All "Right to Work" stands for is preventing closed shops... that is, a workplace where one MUST join a union to be employed. Now, mind you, OSTENSIBLY a union should protect you from policies such as third party arbitration through a CBA, but that's not guaranteed. So lumping an arbitration agreement under "Right to Work" is simply incorrect.
I can't even remember if I signed off on a waiver. Do you think your HR department kept a copy? Ideally, it would have been scanned into an archival system immediately.
Now, this doesn't address the immorality of the whole issue, but... arbitration? I've been at my employer for over 10 years. You sure you have proof of that?
By a strange coincidence, Uber is exactly the same price as a taxi.
Well, that's what happens when a government engages in de facto rate fixing.
Of course, the Uber drivers are the ones who suffer, since eventually they'll just change careers or driver for one of the monopolistic cab companies because it's certain they will make more money that way. Small business always loses due to the costs of compliance.
Indeed. Those of us who actually value liberty need to be vigilant in not only rejecting racist thought, but in realizing that the enemy of everyone trying to resolve racial issues is the white, affluent leftist.
What you're talking about has a basis in actual scripture, but was twisted by your prof (or your memory, or both). Jesus' example was actually regarding infidelity, which is something that many of us can more readily identify with (it can make it that much harder to be faithful to your spouse if you're allowing yourself to ogle hot chicks all the time). And ironically, Jesus said that it's what comes out of one's mouth, not what goes into it, that makes one unclean, so your prof's example is all that much more unsuitable.

What you call a "necessary evil" is what we call "capitalism" and some people call "making a living."
Head alignment had nothing to do with Dolby B performance. If your playback head was out of alignment, output was going to be poor regardless.

Maxell XLII-S were the best. Excellent tape and the shells were tanks you could get away with stepping on.
That's like something we had here in the USA when I was growing up: What's worse than...
Q. What's worse than a barrel of dead babies?
A. One still alive at the bottom.
Q. What's worse than that?
A. He has to eat his way out.
And one that only works if you speak North American English:
Q. What's worse than ants in your pants?
A: Uncles in your pants!
Yeah, starving yourself. That sounds like a great plan!
Don't you think it should be up to the PATIENT to decide that?

One of these is not like the others.
Hmm, I'm surprised I had to read this far down to find the ignorant troll.
$30K for 3 weeks? Sounds like a challenging but satisfying gig. Not sure I'd want more than one like that, though.
Sounds like a great candidate for POTUS.
Like rust?
Iron Maiden is great for storing your backup tapes. They will quickly deliver them to your recovery site while you run to the hills.
Indeed. Don't you think requiring that we get our tape storage systems from Fisher-Price is moving the goalposts a bit?
I've heard of those rouge sysadmins. In fact, I red about one just last week.

But I was told Uber and Lyft drivers weren't properly vetted and thus, were all rapists and thieves?
