    Poll: Is 40K serious?

    Richard Dawkins.

    Au Contraire. My memory might be flawed, but I recall that he has been quoted as saying that he doesn't care if people understand him as long as they believe what he says (which seems to me to make him a religion).

    Share your stories of shitty professors/teachers

    We had one lecturer who only lasted for one semester (unfortunately, it was the one that included me) who in the "Media and Communications Theory" module of the course started one week with a rant about how communism was the last great evil.

    Why is it so hard to get away with hating the Beatles?

    Another thing is that most of the music itself, regardless of whether you like their version or not, can be done so well in so many ways. Examples, Ofra Harnoy who did the string quartet album cover, Aerosmith did a couple, Chet Atkins, David Bowie, Sinatra, The Muppets, Count Basie and Jimi...

    Help with recording music...

    Alternatively, it could be due to the buffer speed of your computer. That would also explain the coming back ok. An A/D converter is what changes the electrical signal sent from the mic into a digital signal playable by your computer. but again to reiterate, not a mic problem. I got...

    Homeland Security Seizes Dozens of Piracy Websites

    As an interesting aside, and not to defend either part of the argument, the standard contract that a band enters into gives them roughly 20c from every album sale, not per dollar of album sale, per album sale. From memory, (and I could be wrong) there's now research coming forward saying that...

    Most Intoxicated You've ever been...

    I think I had about a case of beer in a matter of hours. I say I think, because I don't remember from halfway through the case (but there was no one else around so I think it was a fairly safe bet). Before you say I'm a lightweight, I had also given blood the day before and was both dehydrated...
