Hehehe! I do the same thing when I post email that is caustic and requires email to go through. So, taking a hint from you, I apologize to user@email.com...
huh?
I have some killer vinyl of Vanilla Fudge, which in its day, was probably one of the bass-iest bands around. I have NO intersected grooves, and the cd-conmpilation I made sounds terrific. And I've yet to see their stuff on cd...
"MP3 is a lossy format, I don't think there would be much to gain.
Although, I've never tried to encode an MP3 from a 24-bit source and not sure if that is even possible."
from the samples I heard, it's possible, but not practical, as the sound degradation is horrendous.
"It would be awesome though if they sent you a data CD with the masters in WAV format."
thats exactly how I collect my bootlegs. In my circles we shun mp3, not just because of its "lossy" stigma, but as to someone who REALLY appreciates THE SOUND(S) of music, mp3's are empty. Downgrading (or downsampling) to mp3 chucks out a lot of music. mp3's don't just compress the music, they throw out a lot of it, hence the inherent file size differences. On the other hand, SHN (shorten) and FLAC (free lossless audio codec) will compress music greatly, without sacrificing ONE SINGLE NOTE!
On a side note- since I collect/trade-for-free live concert recordings, and not commercially-produced cdr/lp/cass, drm and dmca is not a thing I worry about....
I normally don't respond to AC's, but I need to point out that your screen name is on the right in irc...

"Plus, you have the choice of browser. You do not have the choice of subsystem or kernel."
I think you need to amend that to "limited choice". I ditched IE a long time ago, and use FireFox instead. Yet try to go to a M$ site in FF, it doesn't happen. My multiple web-based (and being web-based, I should be able to use any browser)hotmail accounts, ain't happening either. Not only that, access to my router (linksys) is prohibited if I use FF. And even making FF my "default" browser doesn't garauntee that that is the browser that appears when I click certain links. That type of "embedding" has led me to believe that IE IS Windows.
"...Even with 1GB you are good with AERO,..."
I disagree... I was running an AMD 3000+ (Barton) w/ 2X512MB and an ATI Radeon 9600SE (software OC'd to take advantage of the R350 graphics engine), and M$ wouldn't let me enable AERO. Nor could I multi-task without severe performance degradation/crashing. And this machine was rated 1.0 on the performance index, hilariously! It runs perfect on XP (which I am back to using, btw), I can play any game with ease (and full graphics!), and multi-tasking has never been an issue.
"The underlying assumption in the article, is that people should be able to drink and drive as long as they are doing so at a threshold within the accuracy of the test equipment."
Are you nucking futs? NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE should EVER get behind the wheel of an automobile after drinking, not even ONE beer. The same 12 fl. oz. DO NOT affect everyone the same way. Automobiles loaded with intoxicated drivers operating at ANY speed are an absolute menace.
People with thoughts like yours allow innocent people to die every hour. If I had ONE Molson Golden Ale, and drove into your Mommy or Sweetie and killed them, does it really matter if I was 0.07 ("safe driver") or 0.08 ("drunk driver")?
in 1978, I was suspended from school (Hillsboro-Deering High) for "hacking" our "electric typewriters" (we merely switched the keys around) for a week. The problem is, it was mid-terms and we couldnt make up. Community service seems smooth compared to that...

Having Borderline Personality Disorder [aapel.org] is a prerequisite to being a /. editor. Apparently you didn't get the memo.
I got BPD, but I didn't get the memo...where do I apply for the job?

um, mp3 and flac are oppositional. lossy vs. lossless. one or the other.

"Which wouldn't be an issue if "artists" didn't think blindly that louder is better, period. "

I believed it then, I believe it now...if it's too loud, you're too old!
Hello Patrick McGoohan, it's nice to meet you. Posting as AC, I see your still hiding from Number 2 (George Markstein)...
I'm struck with the simplicity of your ingenious plan. Outstanding method designed to troll for free pr0n links, kudo's..;)

even now I attempted to log in via FF, and all I get is Google...guess I'm just 'tarded!

..."They're all the same, except for what differentiate them."... Um, so, then they're not really the same after all?

interestingly enough, when I went to download this, it's an unsigned script (BIG RED letters too!).
there's an option on most routers...it's called "restore factory defaults"...enabling it will put you right back to square one, the default password.
