"Changes to CORE domain names must be executed through the CORE member which is associated with the domain name."
In this case, the CORE member is olm.net, the ISP in question. I DO know the difference between an ISP and a DNS, thank you very much, the whole point of the article in the first place was that the ISP and DNS record keeper in this case were the same company.
We're gonna try to initiate a registrar transfer, but OLM can reject the transfer, and I have an odd feeling they will.
Even though the domain name belongs to Dan, technical control over the domain seems to be overriding actual ownership.
If the domain was pointing at the new provider, which is a server I own, there wouldn't be a problem, and I would keep the link as far away from Slashdot as possible. =D But I figure, hey, the link still points at their server, let's have a bit of fun. And get some interesting IANAL insights at the same time.
As much as a refund would be nice, the site was down before it got linked to on slashdot, I think the ISP took it down when Dan cancelled his hosting. But they kept the domain name. =P
Dan Cervantes is the owner of the Big Boy Drum company. The problem is that the ISP won't let him transfer the DNS to the server he wants to move his web site to, actually a web host I run. No, I won't plug it, 'cause we're near our bandwidth limit already. =D
Hmm, I kinda get what you're talking about there. A couple times I've played drums in places where they put the subwoofer right next to the drummer. I did a little experimental tap on my bass drum not expecting it and I hear this huge BOOOOM. You haven't lived until you've played drums with a full PA stack right next to you for your monitoring. With proper hearing protection, of course.
For the drummer who wants that feeling, but wants the advantages of in-ear monitoring as well (lower stage volume, cleaner stage look, etc), a couple companies have developed subwoofers that attach to your chair which emit very little audible noise, they just send vibrations straight up your spine. It might be the sort of thing you'd be looking for.
Headphones are seriously underrated as sound gear. You get more accurate sound for cheaper than equally accurate speakers, and IMHO it's more immersive, as they filter out outside sound and put the game sound right in your ears.
I use Sony MDR-7506 headphones. They're usually used for monitoring studio recordings, but at $100, they give better sound than any equally or higher priced speaker setup. Mostly because with headphones you don't get room echo, and you can't hear your computer fans whining away as much.
Don't think you can get aurround sound without surround speakers? How do you think that you perceive surround sound with only two ears in the first place? Audio programmers are getting a lot better at reproducing the exact audio cues that we use to perceive surround sound, without the wastefulness of using four speakers to stimulate two ears.
There seems to be a bit of confusion over the part of the article where it says they are told what kind of desk to sit at. "Desk" is audio engineer jargon for an audio mixing board. Thus, it makes perfect sense to be told what kind of desk to use.
Dude, have you seen modern aircraft? The big airliners can do everything by themselves except taxi to and from the gate and actually lift the wheels off the ground. They'll land for you, though.
The weirdest thing for me is how the waistline on pants is getting lower. Since I'm so used to the waistline being higher, the belly button looks relatively higher, and it looks like she's some kind of high-belly-button mutant.
Even more disturbing, however, is that while clothing is getting more revealing, people are getting more obese. I've already seen far too much blubbery skin for my own good, what'll happen in 2013 when we have all these 250 pound whales wearing nothing but their iPod-embedded g-strings?
Two words... Paul...Harvey. I can't stand listening to him. People who can't do a smooth read don't belong in a huge market like Los Angeles, much less nationally syndicated talk radio. I'd propose to replace him, but I have a really annoying voice, which is why I'll be perpetually behind the scenes.
My classmates say that I'd be the perfect on-air/camera talent if my voice wasn't so annoying. Oh well. =(
Well, the point is to eliminate shorthand, because any time you use shorthand that needs to be decoded, you introduce the possibility of a mistake.
Actually, most people on/. could probably read news copy just fine (the tricky part is being able to time it out to the second, that takes practice). It's just that your average person (if my classmates are any indication) doesn't read that much, so they're not as efficient at it, so they need all the help they can get. And like I said before, the TV Anchor has to keep track of a ton of stuff, it's not as easy as it looks. That's why they get paid so much when the people like me who shoot the stuff get paid like nothing. Not that I'm bitter. =P
Since I learned all this stuff from a book, I don't know of any web sites that teach this stuff, but I'll see if I can make a journal entry about it, since I don't want to clog/. with too many offtopic posts. (Too late =D)
Radio copy and television copy are written exactly the same. Don't think radio people don't have a lot to concentrate on, too. Try reading a script in exactly 30 seconds some time. Half the fun is trying to look at your script and the clock at the same time.
Broadcast copy is written in a rather unusual format to make it easy for the on-air talent to read, because believe me, the LAST thing you want is to screw up on air. On-air talent frequently has to concentrate on several things at once (why don't YOU try reading from a teleprompter while listening to the producer in your ear while the floor manager is signaling at you), so the read becomes an automatic process that directly connects their eyeballs to their mouth.
It doesn't go to the extreme of "Em-Pee-Three," but typical broadcast copy might look like:
The R-I-A-A is claiming five (b) billion dollars in damages from file sharing on Kazaa (kuh-ZAH). Slashdot T-V brings you this story and more at 11 o'clock.
Only it's typically all uppercase, but I'm not going to tempt the lameness filter.
I use all four major IM services (AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN), because I run a web host and I need to be able to be contacted by anyone. If MSN won't let me integrate all of my IM services into one client, then I won't use them. Simple. My desktop is crowded enough as it is with just ONE IM client. I'll be sad to not be able to service my MSN-using customers, but that's the way things are.
Oh, please, the moon landing "hoax" conspiracy so pathetic. If it's on the internet, it must be true, right? Even an idiot can tell that some of these anomalies that moon conspiracy theorists point out can be perfectly logically explained if you just think about them for a second.
The most glaring hole in the conspiracy theory is: Where did the money go, and how did they keep the tens of thousands of contractors that would have had to be in on this silent?
If you want me to rebut each and every one of the anomalies on that page, I can, but I consider it too much of a waste of my time to do so now.

They have an employee login section. Does anyone remember any of the unames/passes from that "hack the matrix" game they had a while back?

That's what I personally do, but some people say "oh, they'll register my domain for me, how convenient," then it bites them.
We can start making mods sooner!

Desk means the audio mixing console.
When I saw the title I knew one of the first posts would be about psychohistory. Whoo, yay Asimov.
Excellent, I needed some of these for my sharks...

You mean like Fraunhofer charging for implementing MP3 in commercial software and charging for MP3 streams?
When will those pesky consumers learn to sit still and mindlessly consume the inane drivel we're putting out?
Come on, they HAVE to re-release Zero Wing, with FMV, and all the original dialog. =D
