I tell you what there boy! a year are so ago i bought a Tascam CD-302. It's a duel deck DJ CD Player with Scratchem' Pads and crap. It's outrageously over priced at c. $1000, but damn it's fun. The scratching function is nothing like scratching a real vinyl, but with a lot of practice it sounds decent.
I took some vinyls and recorded them into my COMPUTAR and DRAGGED AND DROPPED THOSE WAV FILES ONTO MY CD-BERNER ICON and produced an audio CD. During playback you get all the deliscious pops and snaps and hiss, and you aren't damaging your vinyls.
HEAR THIS NOW! I recommend that if you beat mix or stuff like that, then go ahead and record your vinyls to CD and playback through a CD-302 or the like.. your vinyls will last longer and you don't have to worry about replacing needles and stuff. Plus you have access to looping and pitch shifting functions.
However if you intend to do any REAL scratching, stick to vinyl. You can get scratch like effects from digital players, but it will be a long time before they have REAL scratching. PEACE OUT MUTHA.
I beleive that this so called department at comcast that enforces the AUP is a bunch of HOO-HA. All these people do all day is port scan users all day long looking for open socks servers. And when they find one they send a pre-formed 'assertive but peaceful' letter explaining that the user is violating the AUP and to stop pretty please. Just like when the cable TV portion of the company comes to your house to install or repair something. After they do the repairs, the tech will take you downstairs, show you the splitters that he had to disconnect because it violates their service agreement, and then he shows you how to reconnect them after he's gone. He doesn't care, and the cable company doesn't really care because they know that when push comes to shove, if they start disconnecting people for using more than 1 TV, or computer in their house, they'll end up losing in court, just like the telephone companies did in the 70's or 80's or whenever. If you pay for a certain ammount of bandwidth to your household, once inside your household, what you do with that bandwidth is your business and your's alone.
In St. Louis, there is actually a company that offers to configure your broadband connection (cable, dsl, etc..) for NAT and firewalls, etc. They're called "The Digital Closet" I WILL LOCATE URL 4 U.. http://www.thedigitalcloset.com/ oh god their website sucks.. but it exists i guess.
If all else fails and someone calls you threatening you with a disconnect.. just pretend to be a confused old man or woman, and say that your young trial lawyer grandson set-up your LAN. If that doesn't scare them, then use the method where you fall down on the ground and soil yourself and shake violently. That will work too.
I disagree that the timeslot had anything to do with the demise of the show. Timeslots become popular because of the shows, not the other way around. NBC has 0wn3d Thursday evenings ever since the cosby show, but before the cosby show it was fair game. After that, they put their best crap their to maintain their thursday night audience. Of course now they are losing to survivor but that is besides the point. Thursday night is the biggest TV night for no reason other than the popularity of the cosby show. My basic point being that, aside from like the 2am-7am time slots, the quality of the show dictates it's popularity far more than the timeslot.
Furthermore, as TiVo and similar technology popularizes, hopefully the networks will realize that they can run more series in the 2am-7am timeslots, because suddenly timeslots are irrelevant because people will watch the show whenever they want to. It'd be nice if they would run entire seasons of the simpsons, etc. marathon style during the off hours for the convinience of tivo viewers.
Ahhh very informative.. if you don't mind me probing a little deeper.. what exactly is it that causes these two values to be the same? is it a gravitational thing? The rotation and revolution of celestial bodies always seem to be unrelated.
The last time I checked, the moon rotated. This means that the observatory, which will be fixed on the surface of the moon. Assuming that the observatoy will not be located on either of the moon's poles, the observatory will be "visible" from earth approximatly 50% of the time. This also means that the observatory will be bombarded by the very radio transmissions it is trying to avoid 50% of the time. If i am incorrect about this, please Xplain why.
Why would this be better than a satelite in a geo-stationary orbit around earth? if it is fixed on the moon, we can only communicate with it half of the time, and it's much more difficult to repair when it innevitably dysfunctions.
If those frequencies fall under the rule of the FCC TV Broadcast Guidelines, wouldn't transmitting porn and naughty words and stuff violate their aggreement with the FCC and incurr them oodles and oodles of fines eventually getting their liscense yanked?
I thought we were all friends :O/

I stand before you tonight asking myself one question! "What does 'Foe' mean?". I, being a blithering fool, have a limited vocabulary and cannot define this word. Now 'Friend' on the other hand, I am aware of it's meaning. A friend is someone who beats you up prior to school and confiscates your lunch allowance. I had several friends throughout my childhood, all of whom took great joy at depriving me of a wholesome mid-day meal. Thankfully today, within my fortress of solitude, I am impervious to such attacks and have all my meals delivered to me by this fantastic 'Meals on Wheels' service. Both a clever name, and a pleasant dining experience. However, i was unaware, untill just now, that these 'Friends' have penetrated my computer! Whatever shall I do!? This tragic turn of events mimmics the tradgedy that befell me not more than 7 years ago when my Television Set was invaded by 'Friends'. Six 20-somethings that every Thursday evening conspire to keep me from my salsbury steak. I have written countless letters to Her Majesty but she is yet to reply. I fear her delay in correspondence would be due mal-nutrition brought about by a similar invasion of 'Friends'.
On a final note, I urge you to reconsider your addition of 'Friends' and 'Friendliness' and 'Friendlies' to your periodical. As for 'Foes', i beleive that any enemy of 'Friends' is a commrade of mine. Thank you.
YES! WHAT PISSES ME OFF to the max isn't so much that they cap it.. it's that they cap transfers to THEIR INTErnaL SERVERS AND OTHER CUSTOMERS. OMG! How stupid can you be? If they're so concerned about conserving their bandwidth, why don't they uncap LOCAL ROUTED PACKETS and run a Mirror with all the really popular big downloads. If subscriber to subscriber transfers were not capped, wouldn't you encourage your friends to drop DSL and dial-up and get cable so you can share data LICKITY-SPLIT? I would. hell.. yeah, i too remember the lovely time i had before ATTBI@HOME capped the cable modems.. my upstream wasn't quite up to your's, but still significantly more pleasant than my current sitiation. Now I am stuck with Charter Communications, who cap my downstream too.. and have the audacity to charge the same price. luckily i am moving soon and I get to call them to cancel my service. I'm going to give them an earfull. well maybe not.. but I'll write them a nasty email! that 4 SURE yo!
all u need is a good l0pht and yer set. Lofts are usually located in business districts, so access to business grade communication resources isn't difficult. Space is abundant, and usually a freight elevat0r for moving the big stuff. Not to mention that lofts are totally cool. All of you highly paid e-commerce developers can afford lofts.
I WIN THE LINUX GAME! I GOT A SCORE OF 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000. Seriously though, I totally want to have a linux lan party so I can show all you gamErrz out there who is boss and who is the best at the linux game. "root was destroyed by _aa_'s rocket launcher". GAME OVER FOO!
Ok! So like.. one day.. I was at work.. i work for this tech-support firm n stuff, all right? Anyway.. I was at work.. and this lady calls in. She says, "HELP ME! I cannot open the window!". So I responded, "Did you unlatch it? HAHA!". And then she said, "No, I did not. You have solved my problem. Thank you for your time. I appreciate your help. Good bye." and then I said, "Yes? Very well then. Good bye!" But she was still on the line. We oth sat on the phone, in stunned silence for what seemed like hours but it was actually many more hours than it seemed because I am told that time does fly when you are sitting silently upon a telephone. So it turned out that she had hung up several hours ago, i just didn't hear the click.
I saw some at a military surplus store once. They wern't stealth or even cameoflagooey, but they would probably keep your equipment off of the ground. they were asking $100ea, which i would imagine is a very good deal. They were about 8' tall, with wheels and i think they even came with come dinky old patch bays. I love you.
Being a crotchity old man, I fear change and progress. This.. this so-called Hy-dro-gen you speak of has been nothing but a pain in my rump ever since my days as a gold prospector. This margerine business.. try as I might, I still don't beleive it's not butter. I was a hearty 45 when I witnessed the Hindenburg disaster. What guarentees can you give me that such an incident won't befall my hearing aid? I have had a fear of water since I was knee-high to a crawdad. The most respected talk-show host in the world, Phil Donahue, said that this methane gas is responsible for a hole in the O-Zone layer. I beleive that space travel is best left to the Russians. I am not allowed to operate a motor vehicle in my state because I'm legally blind, deaf, and my reflexes ain't what they used to be. These yuppies in their office buildings need to get out and get real jobs gold prospectin'. Why in a single day I panned up 6 bits! All while fendin' off coyotes. I ain't ever needed no power in the house that the Ol' wind mill can't provide. I dunno what cell phones are, but they sound like the work of the devil to me. Anyway.. The Price Is Right is about to start so I have to go.
YOU HAVE ENRAGED ME FAR BEYOND WORDS. You are trying to start a war between people who use PCs and those that use Macintoshes! My God man! Can't we all just get along? What the world needs now.. is love.. sweet love. PC vs. Mac is a volitile situation! Just imagine what would happen if someone like you triggered an all out war! Boy.. that would suck almost as much as your Mac!
THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT MASTURBATION PRODUCED ENERGY. I am appauled that you would poke fun at a renewable and non-pollutant energy source. I myself have since childhood spent countless hours researching and experimenting with this technology. I have found it to be a rewarding and enjoyable process.
I am currently researching the use of ejaculate as a paste for magazine paper.
