What the above post meant by "Either the drive can read the bits, can't but is able restore it via ECC, or it can't." is that the drive will either read the wave or it will fail to read the wave and you will get a section of blank audio. I used to have this happen. I would have read errors and open the wave in Sound Forge to see that the wave had breaks in it. It is a problem you cannot fix, you have to re-read the file off the disk. ECC is something you don't want to have kick in. You want the wave that is on the disk read perfectly the first time.

You haven't read the book.

Yea, I was thinking they need to make a big-buget movie out of 'At the Mountains of Madness' that was a cross between The Thing and Prometheus. The story: Excited by the discovery of new species of life within a lake trapped beneath the ice sheet a team of scientists head to Antarctica to search for more undiscovered life forms. While doing a survey, they discover something at the base of an ancient mountain range trapped in ice. Excited by the prospect of something really unique under the glacier they drill a tunnel down through the ice cap and stumble across some sort of strange door. At this time the summer is ending and the team is supposed to leave but a small group of them decide to stay though the long, dark Antarctic winter and see if they can open the door. When they finally get the door open they unlock far more than they bargained for...a huge catacomb with alien writing they can't decipher and scenes of a giant battle between an ultra-advanced alien race and their slaves.

Besides the above I am collecting games on Steam, mostly bought on a Steam sale.

Most of my guilty pleasures involve music I make for myself, but I also like electro like the kind found on this forum- http://www.electroempire.com/forum/

I've only done that once - after a jam session with a friend I got the idea to just make patterns first. It created one song (techno) and it was an interesting experiment, but it directs your creativity into too narrow a focus although it does free your mind to think about other things. I guess it's like how a Dj would use multiple records with simple patterns. - this is (or was) done, it is called 'closed grove' records. Definitely not a goa trance thing.

I'll have to check these out DJ Tatsu

Well aren't you just special! I watched cartoons every Saturday morning in my pajamas - no higher purpose back in the good ol' days.

I bought my first regular bike pump. For the past 6 years I've just used the frame attached mini pump I bought with my bike.

I collect the bodies of the people I've killed

Eventually everyone will have two screens. One to view tracklist, one a touchscreen for faders, settings, etc. It will be angled up right underneath the main screen and will be reminiscent of Star Trek NG.

I have fond memories of watching the movie years ago... but I don't know how I would react today. I think Dune was the first David Lynch movie I ever saw but I didn't connect him with the movie ever, not even today.

lol @ this thread Dark - Light - it makes no difference, but depends on your mood.

these go together-

I remember the self shots Radi put on here. Also, the pictures from out his window at the local rooftops in Bulgaria. He is real and he is Bulgarian and he is like Bulgaria's version of Earl.

The two faces of my neighborhood:

My thoughts are that I will not continue to think once I die.

I prefer to think that is the one and only new female on this forum in 8 years.

TMNT Animaniacs EEEK! the cat Sponge Bob and everything Warner Bros.

The Sewage Treatment Plant - YAAAA! All the water that passes through you ends up here.

Yup, my first post was something about Eat Static and was a response to something Abasio posted.
