At my last place of work we still used REXX (and once I had to poke it to make it work, I was wow, cool scripting language).
REXX scripts helped do some automation for making cartoons.:>
Exactly. Same with hardware schematics, used parts list, and assembling instructions. As they did with other fun stuff they are also offering. See my previous comments. Im a satisfied customer, and I am really glad I have the schematics, as I am planning on assembling some hardware on my own.
Actually, I could do that without purchasing anything. But: a) I wanted to support them for the good work and b) have all the necessary parts for the first box.
I really wished more people would do the same as them.:)
Actually, Adafruit were doing "Open Source" business before starting this Laser service. They sell DIY x0xb0x kits, and they provide full schematics and part list for the thing, as well as the instructions on assembling one.
With Roland TB-303 being in really short supply, the x0xb0x is a really good alternative for creating Acid sound. It is true to the original reverse engineered clone. Sounds the same as the real thing.:D And has some nice things like USB port.:)
I've got one kit from them, and Im planning to use the schematics to make another box without purchasing anything from them.
Adafruit are the same people that made x0xb0x - a Roland TB-303 reverse engineered clone. (Hmm, there was a wikipedia article some time ago, but now it is gone.) Which is open source hardware. Or more likely free hardware, as in GNU definition of free. Btw, it sounds great, like the real thing, but clearer. Must be the advances in transistor manufacture since '82s...
They make money by selling you pcb's and kits with all the transistors, diodes, triodes, and necessary chips. The documentation is publicly available, with all the necessary schematics and part numbers, so you're free to make your own copy.
I've bought a kit from them, and they are great.:D
Speaking of which. I stumbled upon MO3, which is basically a mod, with samples compressed with mp3. Quite fun stuff was made with this, and still around 100ish kbytes.
As an audiophile and part time musician, I actually meant that (contemporary) vinyl is of better quality then CD. Currently, it is comparable in price, and sometimes cheaper. Of course it all depends on having good equipment, so the difference is noticable.
An interesting fact about mosquito sucking. It is not sucking per se, since mosquito uses the difference of blood pressure in human (or whoever they are getting the blood from) body, and their own, to get pumped with blood.
If their... um... trunk(?) gets stuck (for example by carefully moving the pierced skin with a finger), they explode.
The germanies were the special case. West germany was funded by one side in the cold war, East germany by the other. Both were some kind of showcases for either ideology/side.
The thing is, that East germany represented the contender, while West one was the showcase for the "rest of the world".
You seem not to understand how the protocol works.
AFAIK, tracker does not assign how much you can download, it just tells you who has bits of the file that your client wants, and tells other clients which bits you have. Speed at which download happens depends on clients talking to eachother, and tracker does not participate in that.

In Russia it is quite common occurence, that official in charge of something makes something worse.
Mod parrent up. Also, look up Third Position in wikipedia (too lazy to post a link). :>

Still, they are great!

You're damn smart, AC. :D

Forgive me, but who would like to buy a CD for $20, if its available on vinyl for less (like £5 for single 12" and £12 for 2xLP)? :-/
Why pay more for inferior quality?
Planscape rawks, this made my day. :D
YMMV, but when it comes to lack of clutter, nothing can beat an Xfce desktop. :D

They'd build their own, but they're not into blackjack and hookers. :>
Well, making them explode part is perhaps a) very messy, b) we don't have enough blood and/or pressure to do that.
Scale difference issue...

Are you sure that there would be them cheap boxes in 2005, if we didn't start on them high power computers in 1980?

At least Vista is the word meaning chicken in latvian.
