You would be forgiven for not remembering this had happened. Not even two weeks ago and it is no longer newsworthy in any way.

Every other post on FB is a one-line synopsis on how to live your life. Life isn't that simple.

Mr P Enos

Mr Vagajiani

I don't know what the point of that Guardian article is though.

What Guardian article?

Whoops Guardian, Independent - what's the difference?   The article you linked to.

http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2014/09/10/are-the-scots-really-sucking-up-a-massive-subsidy/

This one.  

According to that, Scotland spends £1623 more per person on public spending than England. Spends £219 more than the average spend across the other 12 parts of the UK on health. Spends £21 more than the average spend acorss the other 12 parts of the UK on education.

I can't be bothered to do any more sums. But according to the graphs, they pay less tax and spend more it seems.

I don't know what the point of that Guardian article is though.

in the art of war, sun tzu says that if your enemy does any kind of aggressive action, it's a sure sign that they're insecure

Sounds like one of my colleagues whose response to an argument this morning was to call me a neanderthal. He was saying that the police used to be aggressive and not accountable to anyone, which I then said so were Unions (which he is a prominent member of), but he had no answer to that other than to abuse me.

This is the fire of the ghetto delivered to their door and a taste of what the right wing filth deserve. We can strike you any time we wish, class terror/FAI.

Well it is evident you would be responsible. I can't work out what the substituted phrase would be.

What's with the Dog Facial comments? Is it a substituted phrase like wobblewobble?

I started out in Family Secrets and got lost at Love Child.

No wins, as it should have. The world shouldn't be trying to devolve into smaller communities IMO.

Plus all they would have got is David Cameron with a Scottish accent, no change for them, just a smug bastard who could claim to be King of Scotland.

My mother, who was born in Scotland, but had no right to vote in the matter, thought it was a bloody stupid idea to secede.

It went straight to my spam folder without a second thought, but then I don't work for the NHS or wherever this is referring to. I'm guessing it's some scam phone number they're trying to get you to call.

It is almost identical, so it must be some sort of phishing/scam.

My work colleague got this email today:

It doesn't look like a phishing email, it looks fairly genuine, except the fact it is a touch informal to dismiss someone so casually by email. The company exists in the UK too. Very odd.

I'm guessing that your friend actually works for said employer? I mean, cos if he's not then surely he wouldn't be worried!

Other than that, I'm sure employers are required to put in writing these sorts of things?

Keep us posted, if he does work at Semmco, but this is a spam bot, must be quite a complex one, and to target people claiming to be a firing email.... What kind of overtones does that display? A big terrorist plot to make people not turn up for work one day, and get sacked, thus crippling the UK's economy!!!!!?? *tinfoilhat*

No, we work for the government.

A new study suggests that the contamination of drinking water by shale gas is due to faulty wells and not hydraulic fracturing.

Researchers in the US analysed the gas content in 130 water wells in Pennsylvania and Texas.

They were able to trace the methane found in the water to problems with the casing or lining of wells drilled to extract the gas.

See if Beavis is still doing this kind of thing. Technics are his game, but he is worth asking.

Edit: last Hijack posts about that link lead to no response, so it might be a dead end.

There is a guy in PMT (Sound Control) who does repairs that might be worth speaking too as well.

Rane are a good company and write respected articles on various matters, but the absence of an internal fuse is an oddity. I presume they have good reason for it, but I can't think of how one would affect audio quality in anyway, if the PSU was built well.

As I mentioned it:

http://www.rane.com/library.html

Lots of tech notes etc.

Seems there is no internal fuse:

https://serato.com/forum/discussion/481941

They are usually easily accessible if they have one via a small cover.

I expect you have done this, but have you checked the plug fuse and the internal one, as well as making sure the power cable is well socketed? I know these are simple things, but just checking you've consider them.

I've been mixing music for 15 years now and there is still room for improvement, but most people have been happy with the work I have done for them.

I don't really do recording much these days, because it can be quite labour intensive, but give me a shout on the mixing if you want; on here or FB.

This is my last EP, all mixed by me - https://soundcloud.com/slimetime/sets/vausz-maru-so-ep-slm098 not mastered by me though.

I can do mastering, but it is a real art to get a high quality master that can compete on the same levels as the pros.

It seems Serato's Scratch is the more popular product. I'd go for the mixer you are happy with, but if you can get a mixer that works neatly with Traktor, that will be better for you I'm sure. I don't know what Traktor requires to run though, does it not come with an interface/protection?

Depends what you're after. I have some experience, but if you're talking about micing up a live band, then I'm not the man for that task.

I should point out, that whilst I may come across negative about that, I am a massive FSOL fan. I own this after all:

http://s71.beta.photobucket.com/user/richieroyale/library/Cascade%20Promo

Plus a 90% complete discography.

Oscillators and filters can make  a significant difference as well as the way envelopes interact. I have more synths than you can shake a stick at ,if you need a hand with anything give me a shout as I'm only around the corner.

I learned nothing from that 

Gary is such an oddball. It is just as well he stopped performing on tracks, otherwise FSOL would have been terrible. 

Shame nobody could locate a proper copy of the CD to photograph it for the cover shot.

I started a thread the other day, the one about the weird book cover. I would have expected it to get about 70-80 views, but it is now on 1400+.

Such a good thread I just can't stop clicking back. 

Every time's a charm.

The balsamic vinegar pizza has a fairly high click count too. Bots be looking for piggies and pizza it seems.

I started a thread the other day, the one about the weird book cover. I would have expected it to get about 70-80 views, but it is now on 1400+. This is presumably through automated systems clicking on it, probably due to the synopsis of the book that I posted in the thread with key words that bots are looking for.

No real point to this, just an observation. 

How has this thread had 763 views in one day? Bots all over the place maaaan.

There shouldn't be any reason for the error, but the Tal stuff is free, so maybe not as well developed? Maybe just try another synth.

A future pig, adopted by a loving family, can communicate through brain-wave actuation via a gadget called b-prompter. Her education of a pet’s place in human society brings her from self-awareness to cannibalism of pig eating pork. Her master’s experience of overseas female enslavement opens her mind to the existence of cruelty and unfairness among humans. Her aspiration to follow her Mistress’ career as an architect is discouraged by virtue of her being a pig. After a wonderful mating with one of her age, motherhood accentuates her alienation, being one of a kind among humans. She has a vision of traveling with the family girl to Animal Kingdom, a realm well before human world dominance. Meeting a dog and a cat, the two girls are shown how the law of the jungle works. They travel on to Pig-land, where her parents and kid sister live. Here the role of human and pig is reversed, but the human herd in the jungle is better tolerated, as her companion becomes a pet in turn. Back into reality, her motherhood is truncated by her two babies taken away for adoption while she is asleep. She becomes a donut, empty at the core. Her search for answer and pain-sharing leads her through several abductee mother societies, Society Against Cruelty to Animals, a biologist, and finally a professor who explains why cruelty to animals can be justified on meat taste. She is drawn to become a martyr by blowing up the slaughterhouse and to bring critical attention to senseless human cruelty on animals, simulating Guy Fawkes attempting to blow up Parliament in London. She has a discourse with God on compassion, tolerance, and patience, after which she finds forgiveness.

Doesn't sound right. Try doing a real-time bounce and see if there is anything audible going on. Check for automation that may have been engaged somewhere too.

I wouldn't have either, But the mail mentions him snorting drugs off his face and my hilarious joke wouldn't have worked with your article.  

Theres makes for a more amusing read.

I could have posted the Mail one, but didn't want to give them any more traffic.

Their description of computers is straight out of the 60s too.

so this leak is a fake?

This morning it seems that it is likely the accounts were compromised by username and password brute force rather than a back door break in.

Presenter Paul Ross is taking a break from the airwaves after admitting to drug use and a lengthy affair with another man.

I wonder if it will increase or decrease the price of this?

A more informative infographic would be the relative amount of deaths over time compared to all funds raised. This would actually have some meaning, rather than the pointless one above.

 

Roger Deadman. 

I saw a post on FB last night equating this with some sort of religious matter. Nothing can be taken at face value anymore; it's all a conspiracy. 

And then there are those who wont do it because all charities are evil and they spend all their money on CEO salaries.

Just have a shower instead.

I've still no idea what it is in aid of.

Motor Neurone Disease research. $80m raised so far.
