"Netiquette?"

Message ID: 279526 Posted By: mitmosnar Posted On: 2005-07-07 22:57:00 Subject: "Netiquette?" Recs: 17 Were the concept actually observed, I could see how Biff's comments might warrant his 'outing'. However, not only is there no shortage of equally violent, prejudiced rhetoric coming from the 'good guys', but were Biff (or anyone else) to 'out' YSCOX posters for the same reason, I can well imagine the reaction. I decided Biff was a waste of oxygen and a complete f*ckhead when he made insanely ignorant statements about the death of Mike Tuxford. In fact, I recall offering to relandscape his face at the time. He made no attempt to 'out' me. However, during the Grokwars, I received a deluge of obnoxious (and sometimes threatening) emails, had to fight tooth and nail to stop a campaign to have my name associated with every damn troll on the Internet, had people trying to have Yahoo blacklist me, had someone use my ema

They played New Year's at Maple Leaf Gardens a bunch of times, as well as my local high school. << Hands so fast, many times, you cannot see them. >> Before Neil, there were no air drums. ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "mitmosnar" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------

Grace Under Pressure Tour, May 1985, San Francisco Cow Palace, 10 rows from the stage (on the side) direct view of this mastah at work. Hands so fast, many times, you cannot see them.

Re: Backinfullforce an attorney as well

Message ID: 279166 Posted By: mitmosnar Posted On: 2005-07-06 16:30:00 Subject: Re: Backinfullforce an attorney as well Recs: 5 Well, as a user of guitar amps, I can safely say that the *sound* of vacuum tubes changes quite a bit as they heat up. No solid state amps can simulate the tones made by a bunch of super hot tubes. However, some people at a company called Line 6 have managed to make amazing models of all the great tube amps that defy belief - even the pots act like the pots on the amps. I can't stress how unbelievably *real* the models sound - right down to the rattling reverb coil. I tried their gizmo - called a POD, in the studio. They had a Fender blackface in the room, so I tried the actual amp, then the POD. Nobody could tell the difference, including the engineer. How wildly off topic was that? ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by

You know, wires, solenoids, vacuum tubes... no use at all for these new fangled silly cons. This guy would be pushing knocking on the door of 90 about now. I'm a little sceptical, but freecode's appears to have nailed ledite, and I note biffy hasn't been around today. -- TWZ ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "ColonelZen" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------

Backinfullforce an attorney as well?

Message ID: 278994 Posted By: freecode_99 Posted On: 2005-07-06 08:02:00 Subject: Backinfullforce an attorney as well? Recs: 11 If so, I think I know him now. I won't be answering any questions about him though, but he should know: He might be from New York, fluent in German, and have a background which includes MIT as his alma mater. He might have a background in Patents, and be a former Patent Director for an Old SCO customer. In fact, if he is who I think he is, this might lead to more of an international aspect of the funding of this lawsuit. He would hold a EE and a BS from MIT, and a JD from Georgetown University, all of which are prestigious institutions. So, biff, if that is your background, why do you have to act the fool? Why not make a coherent argument for a change, or did the rallying of so many geeks truly catch you off-guard? Is your former employer involved in this litigation? Was it done at their behest? Don't you know that SCO Group now hav
