ah wait a mo... if you simply wantto point an external domain at some hosting, the IP address should be enough.

I can't recall the advert, don't suppose anyone can find a link to it on the web? Speaking of which, does anyone know what music is being used on the advert with the guy driving around at night, and a commentator narrating over the top about everyone else being asleep? (could be part of the...

Some Gas re-issues would be nice.

Exactly, to break it down into its simplest form; Scientific thinking simply draws a conclusion from the presented evidence... there are no absolutes, nothing is set in stone. If something came along that turned evolution on its head tomorrow, Dawkins would look at the evidence, take it on board...

Out of interest, how many people here actually buy mp3s/FLAC on a regular basis? We all speak about the growing digital revolution - yet for many people that simply means stealing music over P2P. Assuming that paying for music is still the basis for the music industry, regardless of format...

I would just like to point out that from my remembered reading of the book, Dawkins does not blame religion for all the world's evils, and I seem to recall he is happy to accept the fact that humans could and would have found / would find other outlets for evil and violence, regardless of...

Its nice to see so many people voicing how I've felt about the whole thing. I used to be a Knowledge mag subscriber, until it got to a point where I realised 6 months-worth of magazines had piled up unread, and when I did investigate the dormant cover CDs - it was a depressing listen. The...

May you burn in audio hell! How can I explain it? ... well, on the one side you can call it audio snobbery, on the other, if music is art - why settle for looking at pictures in a newspaper if you can look at high quality prints? I don't listen to my music on sony headphones, I use Quad...

Funny you should say that, I just hit the 2000 CD mark and came to exactly the same conclusion.

Good point, the answer is probably no... they would be using tapes. "mp3 downloads are killing the home taping industry." Its also easy to blow this out of proportion, I just read (on the BBC I think) that 87% of music sales are still CDs, 3% is online. How accurate that is I have no idea, who...

For me mp3 isn't progress, it feels like the digital equivalent of a shoddy tape. I gave in to digital a while ago, my collection is mostly CD anyway so the transition wasn't hard, I've got about a terrabyte of FLAC files now. But, I still can't bring myself to buy digital files unless a...

Yeah, they had racks of budget-priced CDs from days gone by, the price rocketed up sharply if you wanted anything new. Handy for the cheap books as well. I assume they are taking Music Zone with them then? Thats the last music shop in my area gone.

Probably because compared to coal-burning China and gas-guzzling America, the environmental impact of a jewelcase is not (yet) worth worrying about. Plus how can you quantify the impact of increased computer usage, its not just electricity, its the increase in computer parts. I wonder what the...

I really don't think this will ever be the case, at least not for 'underground' music that the people reading this forum consume. Can you imagine labels (and their artists) like Die Stadt, 12k or Rune Grammofon surviving in that kind of environment? Merchandising??

Its the quality issue I find a real shame, 99% of music listeners don't care about listening to 192kbps rips on tinny headphones. But I do. If I'm going to listen to a new work by an artist I admire, I want it to have its crisp highs and deep lows in all their glory, I want my room to shake...

Electro is popular? You mean kids will be going round listening to Ministry of Sound mix CDs featuring Arpanet and Anthony Rother?

Its our very own Monsoon season.

You want to direct the domain to the nameservers provided by the hosting company. (referred to as the DNS - domain name server) This can in turn be broken down into the 'A record' for the actual website, and the 'MX record' for email. So you could have one server dealing with the site, and...

I enjoyed last nights episode, the first of the series I've seen... although I thought it was to be some kind of comprehensive breakdown, instead it was a rather narrow view on a couple of alternative American bands (well... three; Black Flag, REM and Nirvana - mostly Nirvana). So narrow in...

I agree with Swears, from what I've seen the 7" comeback is being spearheaded (at least in the UK) by indie bands releasing them for pocket money.
