I can just imagine this "demonstration". A bunch of guys just standing around fiddling with their blackberries and cell phones while avoiding eye contact.
Yeah. It's the really great shows that have some guy explaining the jokes while you watch. Kinda like a laughtrack, but it lets people watching pretend they are like, really smart and stuff.
There was a mag called "Home Computer Magazine" that had listings for TI 99/4A, C64 (I think), and IBM PCjr. And maybe Apple II, I can't remember. It started out as "99'er", a mag that focused only on the TI. One issue had a theme of computer music/MIDI/Etc and came with a flexi-disc record that had some goofy synth music on it.
Could someone do a quick backup first? There might be something on the internet that I might need later. I think you can just use Ghost or whatever you IT guys do. Also, please burn it to CD and have it on my desk by COB today.
Now we can use detailed tracking to figure out EXACTY how and where people punch the monkey for a free XBOX, or if they would rather enjoy shooting the ninja for a free Ipod.
1) compressors have nothing to do with frequency. What they do is slow the growth of amplitude in a sound, after hitting a certain trigger level. They do this across the board for all frequencies: they're amplitude devices, not a frequency ones.
I think he was talking about a multiband compressor, which is really just a set of band pass filters attached to a series of compressors where the result is mixed back down. There are a bunch of software effects that can do this, and I guess hardware versions exist too.
I have a tape player that already has this, it's called AVS (Auto volume somethingIforgot). If you turn it on, the volume only goes up to a certian point. If you keep increasing the volume knob, nothing happens. In effect, it's a switch that breaks the volume knob.
But this software will just WARN people of dangerious volume. Which will really really work, cus nobody ignores warnings or popups on electronic devices, right?
oh no the super evil gubermints have won by making us use teh gmails and outlawed all other email serviceZ and googles didn't say what they were doing with the email and you don't need a court odor to OH WAIT
You guys ever hear of a search warrant? A signed one of those can let people in your FUCKING HOUSE, nevermind your email. IT'S SCARY!
Oh, nice use of both "New World Order" and 1984 in one post. I award you double kook points for that.
Doesn't seem really automatic, it's just the same dumb scheduling program thats been around since win95.

Then you will know extactly where your cat's butt is using GPS and your cat's butt can message your toaster and check the exact status of any toasting process and also the bread has a RFID chip and can post a complaint about unfair toasting to it's own blog.
Thank you internet for making it possible for me to go to a coffee shop and talk to a projected image. I might as well stay home, get drunk and yell at the tv during a Cheers re-run.
I'm working on a game where you break open monsters to find ammo to shoot crates with.

You forgot how they never change the default sig the blackberry uses:
"Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld"
Yeah, I'm sure everyone getting your email is so fucking impressed that you are able to spit out a incoherent message on your super neeto wireless device that was designed for retarded chimps. Except that a retarded chimp would know how to actully use it better than you.
I used to work at a helpdesk, and when the Verizon wireless service would go down for a few minutes, the place got flooded with call from these crack addicts. Now if they were in the middle of no place with no computer, yeah, I could see the problem. But 90% of these people were sitting in their office RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FUCKING COMPUTER, BUT STILL WANT TO USE THEIR BLACKBERRY.
I am sure no one at that grade school will notice if you hold a severed eye or photo in front of the scanning thingy. But then again this is in New Jersey.
So now a website might know if I visted another website sometime wow gee this is evil. It's like that time I bought a bag of cheetos and used a savings card and now there's some supermarket database that has a record of me buying cheetos oh god what will i ever do.
A few years ago a friend of mine gave me some old hard drives he got from the Army which was going to be tossed out. I tossed one of them in an old 486 I had lying around and after windows 95 bitched about missing hardware etc., up came a notice that THIS IS ARMY DATA BLAH BLAH BLAH. It didn't have any super secret documents but it did have MS Word, some shareware card games, and about 3 different viruses. Any AV software installed? Nah.

Now people can use some format they never heard of in a app that nobody likes. It's like Realplayer suddenly supporting OGG or something.

It means Negativland can just go on vacation and have a computer generate their "Over the Edge" show for them.
quotes out of context (indeed, entire articles out of context, or even just small snips!) could lead of the spread of dis/mis/information.
That's sort of the whole idea behind stuff like this, and what makes it fun.

Being banned from Slashdot may not be as consequential as being locked up in the Guantanamo facility
No, really? Being locked up is different than not being able to talk about TEH LOONIX on someones website?
