    aMSN has a cool bug that pops a window open on your end as soon as someone clicks on your name on their end

    it's fun to pre-empt conversations with girls:

    me: hey how's it goin?

    her: OMG I was just thinking about you

    me: ya right

    her: I'm serious!

    me: *gush* (L)

    What are you talking about?

    "very specific"

    did you even read the definition of a podcast? What's your reply got to do with my post or the parent?
    Are you confused about podcasts of video content?

    Are you trying to turn this into some kind of fruity catfight about the semantics of a podcast?

    enthrall me with your acumen

  15. Re:and it's HORRIBLE on iTunes Credited with Boosting Primetime Ratings · · Score: -1, Troll

    You're clearly as deep as a gob of spit Karl is a comedic genius I've listened to each one of their episodes, and it's fairly evident only one of them was slightly weaker than the others and that probably had something to do with the podcast being recorded on Jan 1st after the party. Seriously you post anonymously because you know your sterilized obsession with Fraser and Astroboy reruns is pure donkylingus that obscures your judgement towards quality entertainment *kisses*

  16. If Only... on iTunes Credited with Boosting Primetime Ratings · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...Fox would have pulled their collective heads out of their universal ass before they cancelled Arrested Development and podcasted it to supplement the ratings.

  18. This is kind of a scary thought on MacWorld Keynote Announces x86 iMac & Laptop · · Score: 1

    I bought a DualG5 2.5 GHz because I need a fair amount of cpu power and the MacOS to run a variety of audio/video/dsp apps simultaneously in realtime. I was right on the brink of selling the DualG5 to buy a QuadG5 as I have no trouble peaking out the CPU's on this machine and I figured the Quad would be an easy transition. Steve Jobs just told the world in his Keynote address that the entire product line will be migrating to Intel. As everything transfers to Intel, so do the apps I depend on. At this point it just doesn't make any sense to buy a QuadG5 as I'm afraid the software designers will ultimately abandon the PPC platform and the value of the Quad G5 will also plummet by the end of 2006 as apple introduces the new high performance tower. Not only will the power of the new machine dwarf the Quad G5, but by then, the world will realize that G5 software support is quickly running out. I'm sure at some point apple will introduce a reverse version of Rosetta just like they did for the 68k platform.....However:

    This wouldn't be such a pressing issue if it weren't for the fact that I need my apps to run natively so that they can monopolize the cpu's as needed. I bought the dualG5 because I need the performance of both the machine and the OS and the unique apps that run in MacOS only. It appears as though the resale value of a DualG5 is about to plunge as well. Even the new intel iMac gives it a run for its money.

    Normally depreciation is only affected by the performance of new hardware. Now current hardware will depreciate twofold as the extinction of the platform is on the horizon.

  24. Re:Wow and flutter on Old Floppy Drive Becomes New Turntable · · Score: 2, Informative

    a test tone disc with a track that puts out a steady tone, feed that signal into a computer, run phase lock test or feed a very fine frequency counter. the old way is to superimpose 2 tones into a scope, one from a stable occillator and one from the record, pitch match them,lock the occilloscope and look for wiggles and drift

  25. It sounds even weirder because they used on Eerie Sounds from Saturn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    granular synthesis to change it into audio...granular synthesis ignores phase data, because it is spectral based. If they played an actual recording of the waveform instead of just its spectra, I'm sure it would sound very different and a lot more 'natural'. Right now it sounds like a typical granular synth....grainy
