My soulmate wanted to rip the CD to put on his Archos Jukebox, since he is not using CD's anymore but still buys them to be legal and to have the full version.
Since I put in the CD I can't run my company invoice system anymore, can't do anything at all with that cdrom drive, not even play a game. Every time I put in the CD it cannot be recognized by my system.
I already tried to uninstall the software but the problem stays, which forces me to reinstall the PC completely (which I definitely don't have the time for now at the moment and will cost me days to get the invoicing update done).
Is this legal ? Can this be allowed ? I am literally loosing money now just because I wanted to rip that legal and bought cd for him straight to his Archos. It's not even music I like to listen to...
The cablemodem providers in Belgium and the Netherlands give in their commercials "watch movies, hear your favorite music, surf at blazing speeds,..." although to make an example, Telenet in Belgium does bandwidth capping.
They cap whenever you go over your gigabyte of transfer limits to a speed lower than a 56k modem.
Why telling those things to your customers you can watch movies, play your favorite music while my own mother couldn't listen to the musicstream (128kbps) I have here or she has to pay the price of being capped.
Same with this, 600kbps you need for watching these movies; if I had a telenet cablemodem I could probably watch 1 movie and surf at blazing-speeds of less than 56k.
I find that UPS battery being too naked next to the powersupply... It rather be protected by itself in a cage because battery's can do strange things sometimes (I can tell:S)
if that thing explodes in your rack you can throw away the hard drive, maybe the mainboard and wireless bridge..
so far for a rendundant/autonome system... although a beowolf cluster of blue leds? hmmmmz...

I am DJ myself (almost every weekend on duty) and do mind that this is being promoted as "DJ tool".
Ok for quick sound effects but vinyl does really rule the place. I use sometimes CD for my vinyl I have recorded to CD (because 500 cd's in one map is the same as 40-50 vinyl records IN WEIGHT). 1 cd carries 8-10 songs (full vinyl record can take up to 30 minutes) - costs around 12Euros (with sometimes only 1 to 2-3 numbers on them) and a CD costs 25 to 40 euros (costly to be audiophile)...
The sound sounds warmer, it's easier to handle (if you really master it with your hands) and it has newer and sometimes also better releases (I am into non commercial deep, trance, new age, techno and clubby)...
I don't know about hip-hop/breakbeat etc.. but I guess these roots are also using vinyl so...
Next to that a laptop is already a terrible thing to take with you (unless you got space left which is not mostly common in the Belgian clubs/bars)...
it isn't only around the mixing with scratching and bells and wistles but also pure mixing on beats, sounds, vocals, volume differences (play with the high-mid-low tones sometimes) - you tell your audience a story...
(next to that I have seen there is some delay between the keys and the software which is a really really really bad thing for DJ's and musicians...)

Working with ADHD?
·
· Score: 1
I have been diagnosed ADHD the past year. Since my 16th I was continuesly worried what was wrong with me.
I know, If I would read such a long comment as I just wrote here I would not stay interested and doze off to another comment or I would think about other things. That's some side-effect of ADHD.
If there are typo's or grammatical errors in this comment, please ignore, I am from Belgium / Europe and my main language is Dutch instead of English.
I am ADHD but I am not continuesly hyper, I am sometimes hyper whenever I am playing music (DJ) or when I am doing a lot of stuff at the same time. It also has a few negative effects while some I already managed to improve to positive for myself:
A few examples:
I can put my keys on the desk, a minute later I do not know where I have put them, I search the entire house and I find them on the desk.
I get my bills through mail, I open the envelope, look at the bill, I need to process it immediately or the bill lies down on the table - goes to a staple of other papers - and the paper has never existed in my mind.
E-mails... I get plenty of them... I have my own company, if my partner sends me 10 emails only 2 emails (which ones? the 2 last ones!) get processed... why? Because I forget the other 8 emails.
Friends send me emails and I forget to reply...
Time is like a blackhole for me, I always get late and even if I put on 3 alarmclocks I am too busy doing other things so I will get late anyway.
An agenda... very usefull.. not for me, I can buy/use it though I will forget to write my appointments in it
A lot of these problems (and I got a lot more problems because of the ADHD) can be altered to a positive side though. For example the time.
alarm clock example Instead of putting my alarm clock 1 or 2 hours in advance I put it a day in advance so I am reminded of a certain event that day. My other clock reminds me to stay focussed and to be on time, the last clock tells me I am going to be too late if I don't hurry:)
My bills and notes get processed immediately, instead of putting it on the staple (and yes I still have 2 staples funny enough) I process it immediately. Costs me less money!
I need MY time I need my own private little time to process stuff, if I need to work according someone elses timeschedule it will not work out. Deadlines are very hard to make though it is possible. Stress will get me working slower instead of faster.
More information about my way of living I have a lot more information of my way of living with ADHD on my website, this is the direct link to my ADHD article.
It has its positive ways too, I am DJ and I am very creative with designs and ART. I can do different things at one time without problems.
Feelings I am somebody living/relying on feelings and reality instead of only reality. My feelings are mostly right.
Toughts I am a thinker, I think 24/7 and even if I am sleeping I sometimes think in my dreams about solutions of a problem I could not solve the previous day... This is partially annoying and quite funny (I got to live with it so why cry about it?)
The ADHD part also makes me unique in one or another way because I have my own way of thinking, I would call it another view-of-perspective on the world. This also because I think in another way than most people think.
If I have a problem I will think in a "tree - structure". I will search all possible solutions by (creative) thinking. With those solutions I continue thinking what the positive and the negative impact might be on that solution. Even on those impacts I continue thinking. That way I t
... Don't use Outlook or any program that is for it's ways to exploit...
I use The Bat and never had any virus entering my system. I don't start executables and if I receive a executable I mail back with the question what it is and if it is sure sent by that person in question.
I copied my 100th Window release from Vinyl to CD (for the ease of it and because the album looks too good/is too heavy to continuesly take it with me when playing music)
Though some protected CD's do not work in some DENON players which are being used all over Belgium.

It fits in a scheme ...
...
..
.. ? not ?
currently we use WAP mostly
with the new high-resolution-screen battery-eating-cellphones of today you can use GPRS which are small applets that you can use
So, the next logical step would be a mini-browser that can be used when you are logged in on a WIFI hotspot
using yehova@churchoffools.com
if you want to contact any of the apostels there is the address apostels-list@churchoffools.com
wonder they got a abuse@churchoffools.com and choirboys-list@churchoffools.com

How demotivating is that ?
Anyone has received spam to DEcrease the penis size ?
Maybe that might work

My PC seems to have ADHD. It continuesly looses files, winks continuesly to me with blue eyes and has hysterical outbursts resulting to crashes.
Maybe I should send it to a shrink?
I have the strange feeling this world is upside down because of DEJA VU's ?
I wonder, I look at all reactions on /. and seem not to find anybody who really supports this war.
I wonder even more which president does not look to the citizens of his country, their opinions?
What kind of president is this?
