Microsoft just scored a huge coup. The Mozilla code being open source, they programmed their own version of Firefox, that will likely become the standard browser on office computers (large companies don't trust free software).

Wow, that's some terrible webdesign

What HDTV programs do you have in the US? In Europe, it is still extremely limited. HDTV stations are certainly not the reason to get a HD screen today. I use the TV mainly for DVDs and I will buy a 46" after Christmas (I currently have a 10 year old 30" TV). I won't buy a BluRay or HD-DVD player given the limited number of titles and the uncertain future of both formats. Maybe in a year a two.

The examples given by Teasing the Korean are sessions from 1962 and later, which I wouldn't call early stereo recordings. Maybe the recordings Reinier means are the more experimental stereo recordings from the mid 50's, like the 1955 live session in the Tristano/Konitz/Marsh box set, where the stereo effect seems rather diffuse. One of the greatest sounding early stereo Atlantic sessions is "Modern Jazz Quartet at the Music Inn, Vol. 2" from 1958. But there are other sessions with Coltrane, Mingus or the MJQ which don't sound nearly as good, what could also be due the the condition of the master tape.

The article in Le Monde (in french) gives more information about the problem: http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-...1-835781,0.html The main IT news sites haven't reported much on this, except for an article on Slashdot: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/11/18/2030247

Smash My PlayStation 3 The Plan From the creators of SmashMyiPod.com, we bring you, SmashMyPs3.com! We will be one of the first people to get our hands on a PlayStation 3. After we do, we will destroy it in front of all the PS3 fanboys moments after we buy it. This is only a social experiment, for the entertainment of the donors, and visitors of this site. http://www.smashmyps3.com

Thanks for posting this. Here's a link to the article, with additional info: http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/11/15/huh-y...a-cease-desist/

Yes, I read that. And there were only two bids, so it must have been two guys who absolutely wanted to complete their MFSL collection. But this label fetishism is crazy, since there is nothing special about the disc itself. I don't think the buyer cares about the Bach violin partitas.

A CD without booklet that went for $710 (but shipping is free ): MFSL CD 912 Bach Partitas Stadler - Among Rarest MoFi

Hi, I haven't heard the 80th birthday concert, but from post-1962 Russell I can recommend especially "At Beethoven Hall" (MPS, 1965, available as japan imports) and also "Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved by Nature 1968" and "Vertical Form VI" (1977) (both on Soul Note).

My comment on BiTorrent was general. I was under the impression that Matthew meant he had to convert the files because they come from BitTorrent.

MP3 is a file format BitTorrent is a file distribution network Over BitTorrent, you can download and share MP3s, movies or whatever. No need to convert the files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent

Yeah, but if you are never willing to sell your valuable OOP Mosaic sets, they are as good an "investment" as your wife's shoe collection

Feurio is the best dedicated audio CD burning application in my experience. It's shareware, but with no limitation except a nag screen. http://www.feurio.com/English/index.shtml

Have they at least removed the Youtube logo? There are some buyer comments on the Steve Hoffman forum: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthre...0712&page=7

Thanks Brownie. The reissue producer is selling the LPs on Ebay. The auction listing has some interesting info and more pictures: http://cgi.ebay.com/NATHAN-DAVIS-peace-tre...1QQcmdZViewItem

Go easy with the writing speed. 4x should be maximum with such an old PC. I don't know which writing software comes with that burner, but my recommendation goes to Nero 6 (not 7, which is too bloated with useless features).

Must have been sabotage by those Uzbekistan agents who infiltrated the Russian Ministry of Culture.

Is that from The Onion?

The previously unreleased stuff could be obscure live recordings. Membran is a public domain and bootleg label, they don't have access to official vaults. Don't expect discographical miracles from them.

Does the drive open and close when not connected to a computer (only to the mains of course)? If not it's clearly defective.
