The article says they're presenting it in London. The video, or at least some portion of it was filmed in Manchester. There's a shot of the 1830's Warehouse at the Museum of Science & Industry, just after the first ASCII shot.
Incidentally, the 1830's Warehouse is where the 50th anniversary fully-functional replica of Baby is housed. (The first ever stored program computer - built by Freddie Williams and Tom Kilburn in Manchester in 1948)
Speaking as one of the 99.9999999% of Britons that don't speak with a plum in their mouths, I think you would be at the mercy of the NHS's GBH specalists after 3 sentences.
For those of you that are stupid, American, and can't google, that's "National Health Service", and "Gross Bodily Harm"
Have you ever tried to have a conversation in an anechoic chamber?
Too little reverberation is a bad thing. So is too much. The ideal RT60 (time for the reverberations to decay to 60dB less than the incident sound) is around 2 seconds.
And real physical reverberations (echoes) never mask (overwhelm) the original signal. Re. Frictional Losses.
Actually, the producer does have his name on the CD. Quite often it's the artist that does the production. The recording engineer is responsible only for capturing the sound that the artist produces, as accurately as possible. He has no artistic input at all. Then the producer(s) take them recordings and make their music, using the artist's original sound as their material. Then they get someone else to master it so it sounds good on the distribution medium.
As someone who works in the live music industry, I can tell you that the majority of tours only just break even; the rest of them just don't. Gigs serve to promote the album. Why do you think the Grateful Dead haven't retired yet? Can't put much of a pension aside when you're working to pay for your job.
So, is it pretty much accepted that the only way to watch Star Wars is in the order of 1-6? You know, the only logical way, as Lucas intended? I argued this point for about 2 hours in a pub once, almost got kicked out. A stupid, stupid friend of ours was trying to get my girlfriend (a Star Wars virgin as well), to watch them in release order (4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3). I nearly slit his throat, corrupting my girlfriend with wrong thinking like that. It still upsets me.
And for those wondering, the splash screen of three women in distress isn't our contributor's stab at a knee-slapper. It's the official installer backdrop chosen by the Redmond, Wash. folks to appear for each and every customer who installs a Zune.
> Just think if Sun had done this in the 90s. There would never have been a GTK/Qt appliactions split because all software would have been written in Java.
Oh thank God they didn't open source it in the 90's!
Yes, but to switch to a German ISP, you kinda have to move to Germany. Have you ever tried keeping a conversation together across continents with someone who has a restraining order against you?
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down the mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

This must be why I have to log in again every time I load the page.
I have been after this feature for a while though, nice to see it arriving.
Colorado School of Mines?
How hard can it be...?
1. Get down the pit.
2. Dig
This makes even happier that my mac greeted me with "The Java update for 10.5 could not be installed" this morning.

Advanced?
And yet also Simple...?
Which genius thought that name up?

Free? No it isn't. You still need to pay the BBC for your TV license, even if you just want to watch ITV/Channel 4/5.
> I do not for a second believe that it has anything to do with national id card proposals.
Correct. So why do you mention it?
Calorie meters? You mean I don't have to count them myself anymore?
Why would you want to spend $50k-100k on something that uses more energy than it produces?
Just for the sheer fun of it?
VHS is survived by a child, DVD, and by Tivo, VOD and DirecTV. It was preceded in death by Betamax, Divx, mini-discs and laserdiscs.
Seems pretty lively on the P2P networks...

In distress? They look quite happy to me...

No, a junky two bit Japanese company...

Yeah, and just look where that's got you :p
Shoulda stuck with British rule. Far less tax for a start.

You traverse the 4th dimension in PIXELS?!
Use PartitionMagic to resize your partition, then just install normally.
The Dutch have no hitmen.
They have only pancakes and bongs.
