That and the endless vacuous big ups. Seriously, the attitude of the forum is so relentlessly positive and back-slappingly chummy I begin to feel sick. My working life involves sitting alone in a room in front of a computer - forget living for the MOMENT - I am quite happy to fill my mind with...

Surely you must suffer the endless life-altering pain of having to move the mouse to the other side of the keyboard everytime you use someone elses computer?

Us south paws have far more to worry about than mere schizophrenia. My mother started out left-handed but had it caned out of her at school. Every time she tried to write with her devils hand they slapped it with a ruler. She still eats left handed, so they didn't spot that one in the canteen...

Unlucky, I'm assuming that is a one-way process and the hair never grows back in affected regions?

Since becoming a freelance designer I find I have no time left to actually work on my own projects, and it is getting a bit depressing. The current plan is to team up with some friends and work together on some projects. I'm hoping the external pressure from others will force me to set time...

I have a beard, primarily because I started out being too lazy to keep shaving and designer stubble slowly turned into a permanent feature. However I have sensitive skin and shaving usually ends up with a painful raw neck as a result. I recently shaved it off after my girlfriend at the time...

Not a record collector, but I did spend £45 on Woobs first CD album on em:t.

So good to see other people remember Marvelous Cain. His album, along with Kemet Crew's are the great jungle treasures.

the DJ SS remix of Cutty Ranks - Limb By Limb

Perhaps it will turn into one of those releases forever on preorder, always tantalizingly a month away for months and months like the Big Apple reprints or the Convextion CD.

Perhaps on my stereo, and only then the sub-bass seems a bit tighter on some types of music. I did notice bjorks voice isn't as flat on flac after listening to Vespertine ages ago in both formats as a test (I am anal like that) so the complexity of the human voice is perhaps the easiest thing...

I have almost 1TB of flac files - and this week my main 1TB external drive packed up with no warning - I obviously have it all backed up, but when it takes 6+ hours to copy that much data onto a new drive it really is a kick in the nuts. Just reminds me how fragile this whole digital lark is. I...

Had this album posted to my parents house since I don't trust the communal post box in my flats any more. I'm desperate to hear it, perhaps I can try and educate my father in ripping CDs and email it to me - or just play it down the phone.

I think he is wrong, and I blame the cultural baggage the word carries. Modern atheists need a new word. I know Scientologists! Oh wait... that's taken.... The boundaries break down completely when you take religion as the basic act of believing in unseen forces affecting our perceived...

I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what atheism means to most atheists. Atheism as I understand it bases the conclusion of there being no God (or spaghetti monster) on some kind of scientific mindset - the search for evidence, the evaluation of evidence and the re-thinking of...

All the rage where I am: I can't drink more than two without feeling a bit sick.

A proper CD will last for many years, I suspect that at normal room temperature and in a dry environment they will probably just sit there for the full century the makers originally claimed. A CD will definately outlive your harddrive. CDr's however use ink rather than an actual etching into...

I think the digital revolution has changed me completely. I used to pick up records and completely understood the love for them... but now I just buy a CD, rip it to FLAC and stack it on a shelf, hardly to be touched again. I seem to be stuck in some half-way place between the physical and...

I think it was an Iain Banks novel that had a planet made almost entirely of water, within which an intelligent race of creatures evolved for whom space travel was impossible because of the lack of building resources. Bit like the dolphins really.... who knows what those little feckers are...
