  1. Re:determinism finally! on Self-Tuning Electric Guitar · · Score: 1

    [C]reate a system that can model all of those behaviors, and do it's output in real time, and you might be on to the next digital instrument fad.

    Line 6's Variax does just that. It's not perfect, but it's good enough for a live show.

  2. Re:Cameras don't deter criminals. on 10,000 Cameras Ineffective At Deterring Crime · · Score: 1

    That rug really tied the room together.

  3. Re:Why? on The "Loudness War" and the Future of Music · · Score: 1

    Audiophiles do exactly that. I personally prefer to listen to certain types of music (post-rock & jazz mostly) that require great dynamic ranges and can barely tolerate listening to overcompressed versions of the music.

    When I recently recorded a demo for my band, I was struggling with the decision to compress the shit out of it to make it seem louder or just leave the recording as is to allow for dynamic movement. I chose the latter, because everytime I compressed, the music lost all of its urgency. I'm sure someone with a bit more studio expertise would have been able to do better, but I wanted to preserve the quiet moments and allow the loud bits to really have a kick.

    So yes, in short, you are getting that old.

  4. Re:What's with the militant terminology? on Network Warrior · · Score: 1

    Being from Ohio and having recently spent a few days of vacation in Western New York, I will agree that you are spot on. Except southern Ohio... those people are hillbillies. (Specifically SE Ohio.)

  5. Re:In home arcade. on Virtual Console Offers 100 Games, 4.7 Million Sold · · Score: 1

    It's not sad, it's capitalism.

  6. Re:Understood... on Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School · · Score: 1

    I too made a Duke3D map of my high school complete with pictures of faculty superimposed on the monsters' heads. The few teachers that saw it thought it was hilarious. This was right after it came out in '96 though... everyone was still quite laid back about the whole deal.

  7. Re:Great news. on Spinal Tap to Reunite for Live Earth · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My Fender Hot Rod Deluxe goes to 12. F yes.

    Mine is 12345678901234567890abcdef. Feel free!

  9. Re:Passe... on People Don't Hate to Make Desktop Apps, Do They? · · Score: 1

    According to the version I posted, the pencil is over 3500 years old. I love history.

  10. Re:FIST SPORT! on Guitar Hero Developer Announces Rock Band · · Score: 1

    first result from google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAl2wEw6AhQ

  11. Re:Price on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 1

    In order to be accepted, you must travel into the future, install Firefox 5 on your machine, and come back in one piece.

  12. Re:One way of doing things on How to Measure Security ROI? · · Score: 1

    I think the GP is just trying to make the point "what if a server was taken offline?" It doesn't matter if it was stolen, hacked or little green men ate the hard drive, it will still need to be replaced.

  13. Re:Axiom. on Global Collaborative Music Experiment · · Score: 1

    I can attest to the goodness that is ASIO4ALL. It makes my SigmaTel C-Major almost perfect. My latencies were cut to about 10% of their prior time.

  14. Re:Nah... Sansa... on Flash Memory HDD for Notebooks Launched · · Score: 1

    You got an 8G Sansa for cheaper than a 2G nano? How how how?

  15. Re:WTF? on U.S. Bars Lab From Testing E-Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's already a Mitch Hedberg fan out there that created it.

  16. Re:WTF? on U.S. Bars Lab From Testing E-Voting Machines · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wanna make a vending machine that sells vending machines... it'd have to be real fuckin' big!

  17. Re:WTF? on U.S. Bars Lab From Testing E-Voting Machines · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wanted a candy bar which was "HH" so I hit H twice, and fuckin' potato chips came out! They had an "HH" button! Christ - you gotta let me know! I didn't learn my AA BB CC's god god dammit dammit.

  19. Re:I believe in people on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    If Dapper had been your first install, you'd still be using Linux. Upgrades are the problem, not fresh installs.

  20. Re:Well... on A Mac Fan's Take On Vista · · Score: 1

    Oh damn... that made me lose it. Where are you, mod points?

    You still got 500 miles? Wha? 29 * 13.5 = 391.5

  23. Re: Your sig? on Yahoo Tries to Woo Facebook With $900 Million · · Score: 1

    Why do you have NNintendo instead of just Nintendo?

  24. Re:Ebay, garage sales, flea markets, etc... on Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD · · Score: 1

    You found a Technics SL-1200 for $5? Score! Those are at least a hundred or more bucks on eBay.
