Who Needs Radio?

I'm very involved in the campus station here at Marquette. We don't necessarily get to play anything that want (there are FCC and station rules, you know) but it's pretty free-form.
I do listen to College radio and love it (Both my station and WMSE)
-A
We used to do that but the listenership to the radio statio I am at went down (http://marquetteradio.mu.edu) so we went back to playing Top 40 music (with a 25 song/show requirement from the station's library, most of it top 40 music, so it's hard to even do a non-top 40 show)

Don't forget that Internet radio also has to pay the RIAA for each additional listener where as the "real" radio does not.

I know radio and unfortunately, the "local hit" is gone. The only way they can get heard is through a college station or an online radio station (check out http://marquetteradio.mu.edu for an example!)
Hmm... That sucks... Btw.. If you can play it on a regular CD player, I don't see why you can't just do a "line in" record. I havent done them w/ my CDs but it worked for my record collection (and my tapes for that matter)

My bad experience with that one CD (and also the fact that I can't rip it to MP3 to listen on my MP3 player) means I will never buy a CD again that doesn't have the real "Compact Disc" logo.
It's probably your computer's cd drive.. never had a problem ripping CD-E CD's
I did as well.. However, it's rare to find anyone in the states on ICQ. Actually, the only person I still talk to on there is my friend from Puerto Rico. Everyone else is on AIM or YIM.
You: But what about my 1st ammendment right to free speech Robo Judge: 1st ammendment? What fist ammendment? Oh you must be refering to that document that was part of that last government with all it's "free speech" and "human rights"... There is no 1st ammendment.. I sentence you to death for your comments about the all mighty and powerful Lord Gates... Ok, so it wasn't that good, but that's what happens when I haven't had (all) of my morning coffee yet.
Think about this.. That person from '83.. There'd be a good chance that he never used a PC (or a computer for that matter!)
Imagine though, that he came from a Commodore (was the C-64 out yet?), an Apple II or one of the TRS-80s. Not only would they not know what the OS, a mouse or a GUI was, they wouldn't even know how to turn the damn thing on! (Or load a program!)

I read the description.. This one isn't a new episode, I saw it during the last season. Could it have been that your Fox station didn't show it because of football?
I've used them and think they're crap. They have a bad browser and I could never seem to get into my email with them (I should mention, my school used them to replace the old pcs they were using as 'email stations')
Now.. I know a couple of the techs around here were trying to mod one to use as a firewall, however, they couldn't figure out how to get a 2nd nic in there.

Can't stress this one enough... I'm sick of sites that say I have to be running Windows (I'm on a Powerbook G4/OS X Jaguar... At least there's Virtual PC for those sites.)
As for the whole MP3 thing.. Good luck..

Unless your GF is on the computer next to you playing the game with you
(true story.. knew a guy who was dating the "female version of himself".. she even played the same video games as he did.. didn't work out, though)
I was discussing this with one of my co-workers and we get the impression that it depends on WHAT game you're playing on whether it uses a TCP or UDP connection.

Instead, North Americans tend to point the finger everywhere else but the child, or the parents.
Exactly... A kid does something wrong, tv is to blame.. A kid shoots up his classmates, parents react by blaming it on Marylin Manson.. Some kid kills himself, parents blame it on an Ozzy Osbourne song.. Kids get violent, it gets blamed on WWF(E) or Rap music.. Some kid kills another kid, it must be because he saw it on JackAss... See the trend?
Parents never seem to take responsibility for their children's actions. It's THE PARENTS FAULT for letting their kids watch the shows, listen to the music, etc. They need to grow up and realize that they control what their kids can see (at least in their home anyway).
So you don't want your kid becoming addicted to online games? Put the computer/playstation/x-box in a common room. That way you can CONTROL how much time your kid spends on it.

I legitimately bought Office v.X but then again, I got a student discount for it!

Damn.. I want that.. AOLTW / RoadRunner just shut down all ports so that we can't run SMTP servers on their network.

P.S. How much is that is USD?
Lol. That's good!

Of course, that's assuming someone has a sound card back in 1993. I didn't get one until at least '94. AC
maybe, but the description sounded familiar.
I didn't get to see it last night, though, as I was at a concert.

Marquette's MSCS department uses them for their programming classes. They have a ton of those things. I personally hate them, but they love them. AC
