Turbo Nitrous Version 16

Well, it's been a long time since we've had an update to the radio section, and that's partly due to us not recording the show very often. Also, it's in part that we lost this show and found it later, or something. So anyway, from deep within the GiS vaults is yet another episode. It features special guest Jamie McCarthy, from Slashdot's own YRO section, as well as Dune discussion, anti-aliasing lust, and more.

    Great show guys! Anyone know what patches that Taco made to XFree? Did Jamie talk once in the whole show? And what is that about no ending music? Huh! I know I personally only listen to GiS for the intro and ending music, and my weekly assignment of what to send to Kurt! Actually it was a really fun show to listen to, although slightly dated... Discussion of the ongoing election and promises of a "Holiday Spectacular/Life Day Spectacular" with Lumpy and Itchy.

  • The thing at the bottom of the screen in OSX is the dock... The Control Strip isn't in OSX, this is from OS9,8..
  • Well you see the Krull missed a payment so I'm not going to post yet annother "Slashdot Conspericy"..

    Sorry guys.. I guess they are busy bring down Napster and MyMP3..

    In the mean time Transmeta, Microsoft and Coke are bidding for who will get to dictate my next conspericy... but they are all bidding so low I may just junk the whole thing...
    Note to Microsoft a ham sandwitch is NOT a good bid.. and I'm alergic to ham...
    Coke at least had something intresting in offering a case of coke....
    Transmeta could have at least offered a laptop instead they offered a t-shirt....

    You know guys... the Krull was paying me really good... that Pizza was a side deal... the $5,000 per-conspericy is what had my intrest...

    Ug... people think they can buy me cheaply...

    WHAT???
    > Kinda' disappointing that there was no ending.
    I see. No ending. So... you're still listening to it? Hmm... an infinitely long MP3 file. Yes... I see...

    Actually, I liked the ending. It was very nice. since they were babbling about lumpy and itchy and various other things throughout the ending music, i think that the ending of "Goodbye everybody, I'm gonna stop this before anything else happens" was very prudent. Hehe.

    Accually Carla of TheSync pushed the wrong buttons :)
    This happend to me too.. I'd download it and waha got the whole file... it ends abruptly.. WOPS!!
    Download again... this one accually ends...

    What happend? I guess Carla did a bad file copy or something and so we only had part of the file..
    or the file was still being generated as we were downloading it...

    Or maybe it was the Krull... Ohh Maybe the Sync finally got it's funding....
  • He's fourth in line for the presidency, the Speaker of the House is third in line for the presidency. Strom, as the Senate President pro tempore, is fourth after the pres, vice pres, and the Speaker of the House.

    They're not counting the President.

    Wo HOO!!! Got my GiS Fix!

    Hey, where's our Life-Day Spectacular? I wanted some wookie pr0n for Life Day!

    Now I can listen over and over and over and over and over again to this one and keep the cute ninjas at bay for a few more weeks.

    But if you slack on the next episode and the ninjas leave my severed Logitech Marble Trackman in your bed as a warning, don't say I didn't warn you!
  • yah... that was a pretty nice show. nice show. nice.

    FOR ME TO POOP ON!

    just kidding. i love geeks in space. always makes me laugh incredibly loud at work, drawing glares from my less geeky coworkers.

  • For all of those people who do not watch late night with Connan O'brian. The line that they didn't let Patter say was. "Thats a great (fill in thing).... For me to poop on."

    Concerening Hubert I had a friend I went to school and he loved herbert, when he was doing a presentation on one of the non-dune books, he just sorta stopped talking and looked vacantly at the wall for like 5 minetes, we were all yelling at him, look at the back wall trying to figure out what the hell he was looking at. Then all of a sudden, he just starts talking exactly where he was when he stopped. He also possed nude for a videoassignment but thats a completely diffrent story.

  • > he just sorta stopped talking and looked vacantly at the wall for like 5 minetes [sic]

    Hmm...
    Sounds like a very interesting thing to do!!!
    What an awesome idea...

    Did your friend do this on purpose? If not, did he remember it? Did you have an explanation? Please elaborate, I find this extremely interesting.

  • Yes I cought this and submitted it :)
    Ok no fair call... It should be posted correctly..
    Anyway I probably wasn't the first...

    All those Slashdot eppisodes where Taco said "You guys submitted it like a thousand times.. we HAD to post it" well... I think GiS was probably submitted a thousand times :)
  • You know I'm not sure, I never acctuly asked him. Although I think it might have been a rouse because it was a timed report, although I think he went too long I can't be sure. Basicly I would have to ask him which I can't because I moved.

    So basicly its gonna be a mystery for many a year to come. Dammit thats a great mystery ... for me to poop on.

  • I hope Kurt appriciated the ascii porn I sent him the other day...some really good pictures. Its my favorite assignment.

A computer scientist is someone who fixes things that aren't broken.
