How many of the great albums were recorded live? Hell, even some of the bands today are recording live. The Foo Fighters recorded a great album live in Dave Grohl's basement.
I totally agree the days when albums were really there to generate interest in seeing a band live. Many bands worked out songs on the road before they ever ended up on an album. (I think you made a mistake...you ment to say that tickets were NOT over three figures back then).
Even the Beatles worked their asses off in the early days...playing in Germany where they earned their chops. The bands today start out learning their instruments (that is if they even PLAY an instrument...but don't get me started on that) and 6 months later they want to put an album together, throw something together on Pro-tools and WHAM they think they have a hit record.
What is being created are not really musicians anymore but producers. Think about it, instead of having to get a band tight from practicing and gigging, they just spend all night on Pro-tools massaging a track. But if the industry ever turns around I think we'll have plenty of good producers and engineers out there!
You're totally right about Zeppelin. Page wasn't all flash...well, a little flash. But you listen to his guitar work and he really has that elusive thing called soul. And yeah, they knew how to play so they could stretch the song...and improvise. They were the extention of seeing a good blues band...which was my favorite extention of the blues: British Blues. Zeppelin, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Cream, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Jeff Beck, early Stones....hell even "Exile on Mainstreet" Stones.
But, there are still good bands out there to see now adays. Bands that have taken up the torch of touring and just learning their licks out there on the road. But the others like Britiney, or Jessica Simpson or _________(insert flavor of the month band here) seem more like a traveling Vegas show.
Thats another thing...what ever happened to Bands sticking together? When I was growing up bands would hang around with each other for like 10 years or so before branching out. Now it's one album, then when the second one comes out they fight and break up then there's the fight in court on who gets to keep the name of the band. What up with that?!?
The good news is that the guitar is making a come-back in music. Which is good news for me since I'm a guitar tech.
But no, that wasn't me and the other Anonymous Coward had every right to be mad at me as I didn't dig deep enough to know that they didn't use the Doom engine in Duke Nukem 3D. I could have sworn though that I read that some where.
This wasn't a major release as it wasn't an update to the graphics engine in a huge way and basically the Quake 3 engine. Also, I belive that Id farmed that out to another company to make if I remember right. I could be wrong on that though.
Lets take a look at some dates...to place things in perspecive:
1993: Doom released 1994: Doom II released
1996: Duke Nukem 3D 1.0 came out using modified Doom II engine
1996: Quake released 1997: Quake II released 1999: Quake III released 2004: Doom III released.
So, Id's had 6 major releases in the past 11 years and in the time that 3D Realms has been working on ONE Duke Nukem Forever, Id has had 4 whole games come out.
Let's face it folks, Duke Nukem Forever isn't coming out. 8 years for one game?
Well, I certainly wasn't suggesting that it wasn't some work to get there. I was commenting on the panic the media created when there shouldn't have been panic. The ridiculous claims that was totally blown out of proportion to it being Armaggedon. You seem smug in that you've corrected me on something, but have you? The hard work put out by the programmers to correct this had nothing to do with my "the-sky-is-falling" statement.
So let me say this again. Y2K was a non-event because it wasn't an event in the first place...not like everyone was saying. If no one did ANYTHING it still wouldn't have destroyed the world like so many idiots claimed. Financial records perhaps, but not rockets firing off and reactors melting down. Don't kid yourself, not everything was re-written out there anyway.
You can accept a problem and solve it, or you can simply deny the problem is there. The first way works sometimes. The second way never works at all.
Perhaps people like you are those that see problems where none exist? Some people see problems everywhere, it doesn't mean that they are reality. Yes, the magnetic poles will flip. We'll have to fix some things to compensate for this flip. But, and mark my words, the media will certainly play this up and up and up to where people are going to be moving to underground bunkers, "experts" will claim how the surface of the Earth will be scortched. It will go on and on. And when it's over we'll listen to people like you say how everyone was saved due to your hard work...even if it isn't true.
The poets of today write in a different form than they did in the past centuries. They write them as song lyrics!
Look at Dylan. He is more a poet than a singer...as he can hardly carry a tune, but so what? His words are powerful! These are simple tunes with simple chord changes with simple melodies yet very complex and beautiful words and ideas.
Full menu support, subtitle support. Alternate audio track support.
Also, what other player other than the built in one does the Xbox have?
Does it work on a 700Mhz celeron...don't know, do they even make those anymore other than for the Xbox? If so, why would you want to when there are better processors available that are just as cheap.
It is an authoritative source. It's not opinion since it's written by commitee. For instance, look at it's policies:
Wikipedia's participants (Wikipedians) commonly follow, and enforce, a few basic policies.
* First, because there are a huge variety of participants of all ideologies and nationalities Wikipedia is committed to making its articles as unbiased as possible. There has been criticism that the systemic bias of individual participants can color the neutrality of an article. However, the aim is not to write articles from a single objective point of view -- this is a common misunderstanding of the policy -- but rather, to fairly present all views on an issue, attributed to their adherents in a neutral way. Of course, establishing a consensus on what views should be thus attributed can often require much (sometimes heated) discussion and debate.
* Second, there are a number of article naming conventions; for example, when several names exist, the most common one in the respective Wikipedia language is preferred.
* Third, Wikipedians use "talk" pages or other "out of band" methods to discuss changes to articles, rather than discussing the changes within the articles themselves. This marked a break from other wikis of the time, such as Ward Cunningham's WikiWiki.
* Fourth, there are a number of kinds of entries which are generally discouraged, because they do not, strictly speaking, constitute encyclopedia articles. For example, Wikipedia entries are not dictionary definitions, and the wholesale addition of source material such as the text of laws and speeches is generally frowned upon. (However, some of Wikipedia's sister projects, such as Wiktionary and Wikisource, are designed to be repositories for many alternative forms of reference material that do not fit well into Wikipedia.)
* Fifth, there are a variety of sometimes contradictory rules, guidelines, policies, and common practices that have been proposed and which have varying amounts of support within the Wikipedia community. When these proposed rules are violated, the community decides on a case-by-case basis whether they should be more strictly enforced or not.
Not to mention that there is a history of edits to articles, plus links to external sources on pages. I'd trust Wikipedia before I would other sources for the very fact that they're close-sourced and who knows if they have an agenda or not. Plus, if I was doing in-depth research, I wouldn't use one source anyway. Wikipedia would be a starting point, but also Britanica and others.

It's been a few months since we've had a self-styled "expert" come along and tell Apple what their doing wrong and how they can fix it, else they will shrivel up and die.
Story contains the same thing over and over and over and over we've heard now for what...20 years now? Lower their prices, focus on what they do best, lower their prices and lower their prices.
The only thing new here is focus on security, which seems like a good thing to focus on, but only if Apple can TRUELY deliver a resonably secure system. Hopefully they can.
But it's good to see some things never die, like these articles that try to show Apple the error of their ways.
I had a similar experience where a company such as SBC wanted to send someone out that would charge by the hour.
I said, that's ok, just cancel my account cause there are other ISP's in my area, thanks. Before I could hang up they of course said "wait a minute" and "got the manager" etc etc.
Needless to say, they sent someone out to fix the problem...which happened to be a real hardware/line problem...for free.
While this may not always work, it most cases it does.
Actually, part of that is false. Ethel Rosenberg was never a spy at all and basically only had a very very low level involvment in the whole affair.
This is from Wikipedia about Ethel and Julius Rosenberg:
"It is believed that part of the reason Ethel was indicted in addition to Julius was so that the prosecution could use her as a 'lever' to pressure Julius into giving up the names of others who were involved. If that was the case, it didn't work. On the witness stand Julius asserted his right under the Fifth Amendment to not incriminate himself whenever asked about his involvement in the Communist Party or with its members. Ethel did similarly. Neither defendant was viewed sympathetically by the jury.
Investigations into the couple's history revealed conflicting evidence that Julius Rosenberg may have had some dealings with an NKVD agent. Since the end of the Cold War, the Russian government has released documentation that shows Julius Rosenberg was providing information to the NKVD. Julius Rosenberg's main contact was Alexander Feklisov, who met Julius on over 50 occasions over a three year period beginning in 1943. Mr. Feklisov when contacted by the press said that he never received any atomic information from the Rosenbergs.
Before he died, Theodore Hall, who moved to the UK from the US partly because of an FBI investigation of him in the 1950s, admitted that it was he, a scientist working at Los Alamos, who gave atomic information to the USSR, not anyone else such as Ethel Rosenberg, a housewife living in a poor (the Lower East Side) New York neighborhood.
The Rosenbergs' conviction on March 29, 1951 and death sentence on April 5, helped to fuel Senator Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist crusade against "anti-American activities" by US citizens. While their devotion to the Communist cause was well documented, they denied the spying charges even as they faced the electric chair. Their defenders said they never stood the chance of a fair trial given the anti-Communist Red Scare that pervaded the United States in the 1950s.
Decades later, in late 2001, Greenglass admitted that he had committed perjury and falsely implicated his sister Ethel. Greenglass said he chose to turn in his sister in order to protect his wife and children. Recently released Soviet documents seem to show that Julius Rosenberg was in fact guilty of espionage, and Feklisov's veracity on the specific question of nuclear secrets has come under increasing question by students of the case. The same documents also seem to show that Ethel had little or no role, and the true extent of her part in the affair remains a mystery."
Er, I did do my own research. And yes, I know about the 85c maximum temp. But I've gotten into arguments with people (wow, just like this whole thread) about CPU temps. We go "what's the temp on your CPU right now" and we go around and when I say mine is 55c I get the "thats WAY to hot! it's going to catch on fire blah blah blah". I point out to them just like you did about the 85c max temp. It goes round and round until both sides tire...kind of like how this whole thread will die too.
I'm interested in why everyone is jumping all over me about the CPU overheating and compiling errors? I'm only going by what I've read on other web sites about overclocking, over-heating and compiling, it's not like I'm making this stuff up. And let's face it, it's not that far fetched.
the original comment was someone dissing Gentoo and this being one of the reasons to stay away from it. But I was commenting on compiling in general...whither you running Linux or XP or AmigaDOS or whatever.
Compiling anything anywhere. Not meaning a "binary vs. compiling" issue.
hehe, actually, it's using a Thermaltake Volcano 9 on it.
It has to be my case. i only have one fan in the back taking air out. and the fan that's on the power supply. But this in theory should be enough as I'm not overclocking anything. And, with the table fan off and the regular computer fans running, I'm running around 45-55c give or take. It's just that I've seen it jump for a few seconds to 60c when the CPU is really being taxed.
There have always been long long movies. "Gone With the Wind" had an intermission in the middle (right after the "as God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again" speech).
Ben Hur, The Ten Commandants, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago...all are very long movies.
It's the media again. They think that only things are happening right now, as if for the first time to "make" the news. Like when these idiots go out on a live remote at an expressway in Chicago when it's snowing as if "what is this white stuff falling from the sky?!?! are the gods angry with us!?!?!". Gee, it's only been snowing in Chicago in the winter for what...10,000 years or so?
Thanks for the info, and as I said before, I've never had my computer freeze up ever. But I've seen everything from "60c isn't bad" to "60c is one step below the entire computer bursting into flames". Was just trying to be more safe than sorry...but what you say makes sense.
That's what I ment, just it being Gentoo and everything is compiled. So while gcc is compiling firefox and it "flips a bit", that could compile an error into the firefox code, correct? Which is why I've heard many times not to be overclocking while your compiling anything.

Hi!

Oh well, live and learn I guess.
My bad, you're right of course.
But then again, it looked very similar to the Doom engine that it's hard not to make that comparison. It's content was good though.
I got my "this game is based on this games engine" mixed up.
This wasn't a major release as it wasn't an update to the graphics engine in a huge way and basically the Quake 3 engine. Also, I belive that Id farmed that out to another company to make if I remember right. I could be wrong on that though.

If they had a dollar for like every user...they'd have like...a billion dollars or something!
This will again turn into another non-event like Y2K and everything else these the-sky-is-falling people love drumming up to keep people afraid.
The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself...oh, and also Carnies. Circus folk. They're nomads you know. Smell like cabbage...very small hands....
The poets of today write in a different form than they did in the past centuries. They write them as song lyrics!
Look at Dylan. He is more a poet than a singer...as he can hardly carry a tune, but so what? His words are powerful! These are simple tunes with simple chord changes with simple melodies yet very complex and beautiful words and ideas.
What's the reasoning behind this? You work online, but what difference does it matter what browser I use or OS?
Also, is it just open source browsers? So browsers such as Opera would be fine?
What about OSX and Apple's browser? This should be a given since OSX is on top of Mach...which itself was developed at Carnegie-Mellon.
I just checked their site on system requirements:
Operating System
* PC: Microsoft Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP
Web Browser
* PC: Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1 or newer, or Netscape Navigator 7.02 or newer
Interesting. I tested my system, which is Linux running Firefox. Everything passed except for only it not being on Windows nor IE/Netscape 7.
Oh well...

I thought it was refering to the Van Halen album "1984"...think about it, it was the LAST album that Diamond David Lee Roth was in the band.
I think that speaks volumes about todays world.
