  1. Re:Bonus content on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 4, Informative

    i have lots of kiddie picture discs with pinocchio and donald duck etc. on the entire surface of the disc.

    i also have these really old acetate 78 10" records that had animations on the label that you could watch with a little mirror zoetrope that sat on top of the spinning record.

    also there are weird ways of having two distinct grooves on a record so that depending on where you put the needle down a different song plays. tool did this as well as numerous underground resistance recordings.

    clear vinyl is nifty too.

  16. Re:who can stop this? on Congress Expands FBI Powers · · Score: 1

    You are right. I shouldn't have to donate money to be heard. However, life is not always fair, and I will do what it takes to be heard (by my elected officials anyway)

    Now the method I propose is not totally objectionable. If someone keeps doing what I want, why should I not be able to help them be re-elected. Likewise, why should I not help get a jackass out of office?

    I could volunteer to help run a campaign, sure, but I haven't that much time to spare and public relations is not my strong suit. So there you have it.

    (2) Learn to format your postings, please.

    (11) Don't assume that anyone who complains is ignorant. It makes you look pompous, not intelligent.

    that's faulty. not every .edu is on the internet2, and not every .edu in the internet2 has i2 connection across all facilities.

    my college didn't have an i2 connection until my sophomore year (that was nice when the rtsr underworld ftp archive was hosted by my buddy at NYU, ZOOOOOOM) and even now the dorms have been taken off.
