Ok; I admit it, damnit! Loudly! Even though nobody in the world likes them, I can't get enough of Mindless Self Indulgence. I don't know why other people don't like them.. I mean, I do know, but then again I don't know. Urine's voice (yes, the singer's last name is Euringer) screams a rangey goodness that I haven't heard from other bands.
It's been a long time since i wrote that; for some reason, i never did run the script to update the site. What does this mean? This means that I'm too lazy and un-dedicated to do anything to my full potential. Its true. There are tons of pages I would like to link; tons of stuff I'd like to do, tons of stuff I'd like to complete and upload, and tons of sleep i wish to get. These pretty much all conflict, and I don't know when im going to find the time to actually do everything that I'd like to do. But when I do find the time, you can bet your ass that this place will be updated again. Enough of this lack of wit; lets get on with it.
- Conan O'Brien leaves no ass unkicked.
- Sanyo plans to release a new drive codenamed CRD-DV1.
- (See above) BenQ is showcasing a 52x recorder. My 24x feels undaunted by the 4% increase in true recording speed.
- Penny-arcade since e3 has been a delight to the senses.
- Envirosphere is about the only place I read to see what came out and who's subbing what. Damn, they are busy.
Here's an interesting tidbit of stupidity.. as reported by CDRinfo.
Internet newsgroups and websites have recently been circulating news of users having circumvented Sonys Key2Audio audio CD copy protection by scribbling around the rim of certain copy protected discs with a felt-tip marker to intentionally corrupt the data indexes of the CDs. The Internet postings claim that the marker (or even a piece of tape) can be used to corrupt the index, and thereby circumvent the copy protection feature and allow the user to copy the music tracks to a hard drive. These same postings suggest that other copy protection products can be circumvented using the same hacking technique.
Here's what Macrovision has to say about this.
The felt-tip pen hack may work on audio copy protection products that rely on the single data index copy protection technique. Macrovisions SAFEAUDIO V3 is resistant to this hack approach because we have implemented a tunable multi-layer security solution, which is based upon multiple patent-pending technologies.
This was in place of their earlier planned statement, never before released to the public.
After what must have been years of intelligence gathering and hundreds of thousands of man hours of effort, to mirror our efforts in creating the origional copy protection, unpatriotic communists have developed a complicated work around to the new Key2Audio compact disc data protection. As always, one step ahead of the game of protect and crack, we here at Macrovision have developed new felt-tip pen resistant plastic for compact disc manufacturing, sure to destroy all fascist unamerican marker-wielding scum. The type of oil used in its manufacturing resists both dangerous felt tip pen attacks as well as the adhesive on common 3M and Scotch brand tapes. An upgrade to the technology to include for Sharpies, Vis a Vis, and the popular "Duct Tape" is planned for late third quarter.
Thats enough for now; I have more in plan for when prodigy stops giving me a headache and I rinse the filth from my body!
