  1. Re:Not even close on Hercules USB DJ Console Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I must agree with you: most DJ's are using vinyl. Most DJ's will continue to use vinyl because it provides warmer, fuller sound than traditional digital sources. And there's something about the ability to physicallly touch the record while trying to match-up the BPM that you just couldn't do with a CD.

  2. no good on Hercules USB DJ Console Reviewed · · Score: 1, Troll
    USB may be good for digital cameras & the like. However, I doubt a serious DJ would want to rely on a USB connection, especially if he's doing a big show. It's true that USB is versatile, but it's not always the best solution. I certainly wouldn't trade it for digital audio links.

    In general, I try to stay as far away from USB as possible.

    nah, police in the USA only handle regular crimes in cities and towns. Something like this would probably be handled by the FBI.

    I haven't read it in detail, but I did skim it. I don't see anything objectionable.

    You should check your information before applying your high school algebra.

    The Memphis division of Time Warner Cable serves more than just Memphis, TN. However, you only included Memphis in your stat calculation.

    So, to answer your question: No, I don't believe it. I don't believe it because the numbers you obtained are not indicative of the area serviced by the Memphis division of Time Warner Cable.

  6. Re:Marketspeak on Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    so the linux penguin is "shining shi*t and calling it gold" ?? An entity's identity _is_ its brand. Your post seems to convey that a consistent identity is not important as long as you're playing 'a different game' than the other guy. If that's the case, why do we need jerseys (i.e., all team members wear the same uniform, therefore projecting the same image) in sports? can't they all just wear whatever the hell they want?

  7. Branding Works on Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    branding is a great idea; however, it's an all-or-nothing game. Mozilla must either commit 100% to developing brand identity or not commit at all. Consistency in branding communicates something deeper to the public: a consistent brand image communicates [whether true or not] consistency in the entity itself. It shows that the entity has a common goal toward which they are working. When people see the brand's logos, they immediately recognize it as familiar. In order for Mozilla to be successful (which I hope / know it will be), the public must be able to identify it as one specific piece of software (or software package). For example, when people see a Mozilla icon/logo, I should be able to say, "oh, that's THE Mozilla." They shouldn't need to wonder, "hmmm... that looks kinda like a Mozilla icon I saw a long time ago, but I'm not sure." Consistent branding works: just think of the logos/icons for all of the following entities: Nike; Microsoft; Coca-Cola; Pepsi; AOL.

    regarding the generators... I work for a company that must maintain a large LAN, a call center, and a DNCS (digital network control system). Our generators are hard-piped to natural gas; they'll also run on diesel fuel if needed. Natural gas may sound like a bit extreme, but consider this: in June we had a surprise storm -- not a tornado exactly, but a large 'team' of microbursts destroyed approx 200-thousand telephone poles (and it took the utilties with it, of course). Our main DNCS location was without power for 6 or 7 days; without natural-gas-powered generators, we would have been screwed. (No electricity in the entire city = gas stations can't pump gasoline ... natural gas is your friend!)
