If anything, AMD and especially Intel will probably shutdown processor manufacturing lines as time goes on. Why? Larger wafer sizes, smaller processor die sizes. Eventually, one Intel processor factory 5 or 6 ot 7 years from now will equal about 3 or 4 existing Intel processor factories in...

I believe: Intel will sooner or later attempt a big shift from Pentium X86 technology to Itanium technology by introducing an "Itanium Lite" microprocessor. This will happen about 1.5 to 2.5 years after the Pentium V is released. AMD will drop the 32-bit X86 Athlon core for the general...

Hmmm. The rumours from the underbelly of the financial world have finally reached the underbelly of the computer world: ...Never one to lie on its laurels the company is always keen to look for new markets to move into. We saw recently that the troubled telecom operator WorldCom may be on the...

Yes, but they are neck-heavy, unlike a P-bass or a J-bass, and that's why I never did like 'em or nearly any other Gibson bass (other reasons). But, there would be one exception to that, and that would be the Gibson Les Paul Signature bass from the early 1970s. Normally, I would go running...

Heehee... It's not like I went out and spent a mint last weekend! That's about 30 years of accumulation -- which would actually include the few guitars that I sold or traded over the years just to get to the point where I am now. I'm not really into duplicating any instruments, though many of...

Yes, there was definitely punkrock in the '70s. Actually, most of the better punkrock WAS in the '70s! Punk was pretty boring after 1982 or so. Wire, Siouxsie, Sex Pistols, Clash, and some others started in the 70s as well as some pseudo-punk types like Wire, Cure, Bauhaus, Joy Division, etc.

The session work Rick Wakeman did with most of these folk was Mellotron work. A Mellotron is nowadays a fairly rare musical instrument. A Mellotron is a keyboard instrument that uses a single tape for each key and each tape can have 2 or 3 "voices" (recorded instruments). I've both played and...

Someone setting up a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM server.

I'm actually not an IT person, instead an engineering / management position. I've been working at the same place here (yes, I'm at work right now) since forever (early 1980s). Systems design and operational issues are what I'm about. I haven't done the "real work" in a long time now, since...

Jeez, I guess I've been out of it for awhile now as I really don't recall "The Giver" here or back on the old S.R.

Let me guess, Doug, you are from the Washington DC area. (20910) Otherwise, welcome aboard.

I doubt it. There's probably a zillion dweebs online at AOL right now.

And neither were I ! [list:444056804d] [/list:u:444056804d] ...so it was legitimate.

No, we are expanding the English language here at StorageForum. Expect this garbage to show up in an English dictionary someday not. (PS: As for mother tongues, in my early life the first language I actually spoke was German.)

James, I was hoping that you would see this and respond since you work in the telecommunications industry. I would also be surprised if Microsoft bought WorldCom as well, but stranger things have happened. I don't know what starts some of these rumours, whether it's a gossiper that has...

Yes, technically that would be a 4:1 Interleave, which should never be confused with a scenario where these are medical students. That would be, of course, an Internleave.

There was a Sound Forge "SE" that was around for a while -- may even still be -- that you could buy at various music stores for US$10 or US$20 on just a CD-ROM (no book). I never saw this for sale except at music stores (guitars, keyboards, drums, etc). It wouldn't accept the various pricey...

No, those are just onomatopoecisms which are remotely related to stomasonics. NEXT QUESTION!

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=WCOM&d=c&k=c1&a=v&p=s&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=l Financial performance of WorldCOM.

If this nugget from the underbelly of the financial world ends up actually occurring, then it's not hard to predict what the "tech headlines" will be SATURATED with for the next 6 months to a year! Then add in that sure as the sun rises in the east that every hardcore Torvalds, McNealy, Jobs...

If you REALLY want something to talk about, then there's a nice beefy rumour that's been circulating the financial world for a few days that Microsoft will buy WorldCom in a matter of weeks. A WorldCom acquisition would give Microsoft a big ass world-wide backbone to saturate with X-Box and Dot...

Argh. Sounds like it ain't worth doing.

Well Tannin, I must've missed this topic during one of my recent hiatuses, but anyway... First of all, it's VERY good that you have a pair of decent microphones -- the Shure SM57 (a general all-around dynamic microphone, but primarily a heavy duty instrument and vocal microphone) will be enough...

> Got a used 45gb Hungary 75GXP... If your Seventy Five Gee Ex Pee is sooooo hungry... TAKE IT TO DINNER! Haha! Bada Bing Bang Boom! OK. Shut up you idiots. Do any of you what interleave is? Huh? Interleave is what the flying head assembly blows behind the Partition so that it can...

>Lite-On burner overclock up to 48X! Yes, but can you trust the finished product being readable on any CD-ROM or (especially) CD Audio reader?
