I'm sure Madoff operated with that understanding (hey, he can't be stupid), yet still got caught in spite of that. I don't really think this sends any message anyone wasn't already aware of.
I thought it was called getting inebriated, lying back, and enjoying the music. As long as I wasn't creating local earthquakes, I had no problems. I'm clumsy though, now and then I'd bash my hand into the kit while reaching for something else - Brrrrccchhhh! - but my bad.
And the top-loading CDs were no better - with the added benefit of damaging themselves as well as your CDs. Boy am I glad that medium is finally dead (to me at least), I don't even install OSs from CD/DVD (where possible), they're just too unreliable. Reliably unreliable, in fact.
Yes, my friend. Back in the day it was the only way - you'd buy albums on vinyl for quality, and throw them down to cassette for the car, whose gyrations made LP playback somewhat difficult. You had to remember to tip-toe around the stereo while dubbing so the needle wouldn't jump on the job. Mind you, imperfections like that on your cassette often gave a giggle as long as they weren't right in the middle of one of your favourite parts.
Yes, this caused me in my impressionably teenage years to become very suspicious of faint lyrics in some tracks - until the penny dropped and I understood what was happening. Now Tool-Sober just doesn't sound the same without faintly hearing the B-side in reverse! I must fire up Audacity and create a special mix of it just for me:)
You're thinking of helical-scan tapes like VHS, even then it would only happen if the tape or head somehow got sticky. These decks have dew sensors to stop them from operating if build up on the spinning head drum is likely.
4 track audio actually wrap around the capstan and pinch-roller, the tape is only 'dragged over' the head, meaning crap on the head can scratch the tape surface, but there's not really any way for it to tangle there. Any sticky crap on the capstan/rollers would cause the tape to adhere to the, and any problem with the take-up reel (like too much dirt in the cassette) would cause slack to build up after the rollers, which would go for quite some time before being detected in shoddier tape decks. A good tape deck will notice the take-up reel not "taking-up", and shut down. Autoreverse decks seemed to be the worst for chewing in my experience. Auto cassette decks were also quite bad, it's hard to clean them with anything other than a cleaning cassette - I always preferred the manual approach of running the tape deck while rubbing the moving parts with clean paper soaked in isopropyl.
I'll let the install base decide which versions of Windows are "current", not Microsoft. XP is very much a current version of Windows, whether MS like it or not.
Please, just read at -1. Slashdot moderation is completely broken anyway, and some of the best, but most nerve-touching commends can be found there. And, as is evidenced by your little faux-pas, it's usually still at least useful to the see the -1 comments. I know it's patented, but you can do your own moderation with the PgDn key.
No, I think I understand. You want to use "MSFT" to suggest they're interested in nothing but money, yet someone doing effectively the same thing, instead using "M$" comes across to you as a 14 year-old.
Additionally, and I hate to be the one to break this to you, but other companies are similarly interested in their stock price, and not so much their customers. Welcome to the 90's. Yet still I don't call my iPod an AAPL. Would you?
Instead it makes you sound like the sort of prat that refers to movies and books by their working title rather than that they were released with. MSFT is their stock ticker, and you refer to that when you're referring to MS stocks. Use MS like any reasonable person, and throw in the dollar sign if you wish to make your biases known and obvious.
Hey, I leech my employer's OC48 and the cost to me is $0/month. Great for me, but it doesn't mean I can just tell everyone to do the same. Most geeks have less trouble getting sex than a satisfactory internet hook-up.

Greeeaaaat. I've always wished my GPS had glacial boot times and a Win 3.1 lookalike UI.
Bahahahaaa! Two words for you my friend: "Rescanning collection..." Amarok blows on collections of a few GIG.
Imperial Asstons are non-migratory
Well done, you got it!

Don't try to confuse oneirophrenos with the facts, can't you see he's made up his mind?
Oh. My. God. That joke had a cruising altitude so low the FAA should be involved. Yet still, Whoosh.

Gee, how very evil. Or are you suggesting something else?
Wow. Just wow - "Woosh" really doesn't seem to cut it in this circumstance.
Not when it generates revenue! Where you been, pal?
What the fuck does that mean?
Ah yes fair enough. WEP is completely broken, so for that reason we should just give up trying to hide WPA / WPA2 keys as well.
Well, I'm surprised that nobody's signed up in his name yet at least. Don't tell me the global recession is finally hitting the slashdot trolls!
You see we've got these things called cameras now...
