    Yes, we're talking about Mark Deneen.

     

    That's good to know.  I've been scratching my head wondering.  Even wondered if some thought it was "MAS" (who's first name is Mark too).  I was going to suggest it probably wasn't "MAS" as from what I understand, he's moved far far, very far away.

     

     

    That said....and only loosely related to this thread, I once had a handful of names that I used on a card playing website.  We really need to find some Euchre players here...

     

    Anyways, I came up with one that always gave me a chuckle:  Flatulent Aroma

     

    Usually got an interesting reception from the lobby when I entered.

     

    :emotion-41:  

     

     

    Ok, progress. Somebody gets it!

    Ok, that's it. I am going to track down this "Deneen" fellow and get the straight dope. Or, at least the straight scoop. I might as well know what the heck everyone is jabbering about. Straight from the horses mouth.

    He does it all the time. He communicates with the world in cartoons of enormous intellectual depth, like this one! Most feature the finger, or farts, or....OMG!!!! Faceplants!

     

     

    You wouldn't believe the amount of effort that goes into conveying deep intellectual concepts in picture form for the sake of universal understanding. and i don't recall ever posting a fart photo.

     

    Oh, I know. Hipsters are so, well, deep.

  4.  

    I get the impression this guy was one hellova fun fella, who no doubt fell victim to the DickClique?

     

    Are you trying to say you don't remember him?  He fell victim to nothing.  He was extremely knowledgeable about acoustics and a lot of other things including believe it or not music.  He also had a mercurial personality which expressed itself in amazing displays of sarcasm, and was likely one of the greatest internet flame warriors of all time.  Are you pretending you were not here to witness at least some of it?

     

     

    In my time here, I don't recall the guy. Internet Warrior? Whoa. Not here, man~

    ​Looking for some help on wood horns. I have a project that I would like to start and want to use wood horns for cosmetic reasons.

    Is there anyone who makes and sells them ?  Or does anyone have a pair for sale?

     

    Thanks Dean

     

     

    There are lots of wooden horns. A guy named Al Klapenberger makes them. Another guy named Volti Audio makes them. Another guy named Edgar something makes them. Another guy named Fastlane makes them. Google some of those names and you will run into a forest of wooden horns! Good luck! Sounds like a great project.

    some days, this forum makes me feel like this...

    Well, it seems apparent that I haven't much to add to this thread but over a year ago it seemed like this was the sentiment being directed at us and I was disappointed with the outcome...

    My apologies. I'm clearly sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. I thought 'the group' ganging up on a member like high school thugs was something to be concerned about; reflecting poorly on the Klipsch company as I mistakenly thought, since it appears to have the blessing of the administrator and the mods. Some history here that is none of my business and I don't want it to be, either.

     

    I must say I am amused at the 'fat kid' of the clique, which appears to be Thaddeus, who preferred to lurk in the shadows until a woman happened into the thread questioning the merits, whereas he saw his chance to improve his standing and voice his disapproval with all the nuance of a wet fart in a theater. 

     

    Carry on with whatever inappropriate cleverness you can muster. I'm silent on this laughable display of maturity. 

    Gee.....too bad.

     

     

    Man, you are low energy.

  8.  

    Yeah, please! What's up with people using TUBES in 2016?

    What makes you think that?  NOBODY uses tubes anymore.  Tube technology is a relic of past times.  No use in todays HiFi world... :ph34r:  

     

     

    Anyone with a smiling German Shepard simply MUST be a good guy, and probably right, and I am sure would never venture into sarcasm, right? (Although the little masked dude was a little bit of a dead giveaway).

  9. I advise most of you to seek help for your narcissism--99% of you are very boring people. I’d rather Keep Up with the Kardashians than spy on you. If elected, counseling will be available to you. I will not raise your taxes...of course their will be a usage fee to attend this mandatory counseling. If you’re unable to pay this usage fee, you can pay off this debt by helping the Mexicans build that wall. 

     

    I'm trying to source that quote. Let's see, it begins with "narcissism" so it has to be a shot from the wingnuts. Ah, and the Kardashians are there to represent the Evil Hollywood. And of course, the wall, kinda makes it a dead giveaway - I got it!--- It's MY MAN, the Teflon Donald! ^5 ^5

  10. What follows is just my opinion... I am also a software developer...

     

    Let's just say that our government would never violate our privacy without the legal and Constitutional means of doing so... I'll let the reader decide if they would believe that.

     

    One of the biggest secrets our government EVER held was the design of the thermonuclear weapon. Yet, it was stolen and given to our enemies by spies among us. If I put a backdoor into my software for "government use only", how long would it take for a foreign government to figure it out or steal it. Good encryption, at this point, is unbreakable (at least until quantum computers of sufficient size are available). It is the user interface that always gets broken. Make one mistake and they are in.

     

    In the late 80's, the government recommended the use of the 56-bit DES. It was considered very secure at the time. Now, the computer I am typing this on, can break that code in less than 3 minutes. WEP was once considered secure for Wi-Fi. Now, this computer can break it in under a minute. Even the current standard WPA-PSK is not secure enough to withstand a prolonged attack. Finally, need I remind the reader that just recently, hackers (probably Chinese government in origin) managed to retrieve a large portion of the federal personnel database. They can't even keep THEIR data secure. That investigation is still ongoing.

     

    In my opinion, no. Even if I believed that our government would not eventually abuse the backdoor, in no way do I believe that they could keep it secret, or that a foreign enemy might not find a way in. Backdoors are built-in insecurity.

     

    Even if you believe that you have nothing to hide, I can assure you that you do. While you might not be breaking any laws, there is a great deal of information, business and personal, that you would not ever want made public. In point of fact most, if not all of us, also break laws on an almost daily basis, of which we are unaware of their very existence. Just recently, I was informed of a law that I was breaking and didn't even know it was there. Not a big deal, really. But, do I want a foreign government building up a dossier on me, what I do for a living, how much money I don't have, etc? Not really. Think about how many things you say in emails, texts, notes... that you would never want made public. 

     

    Finally, remember Richard Jewell. He was the guy that found the backpack bomb in Olympic Park. Once he became a person of interest, his life became an open book. He was destroyed in the media. Just imagine what could have been found out about him in this current day. We didn't even have an internet then. Yet, in the end, after his life was destroyed, he was found to be a hero that saved many lives. But, he never recovered from it.  I could go on and on....

     

    All that might be true, but we have terrorists to round up globally, and if private information impedes that, too bad. Search and destroy will have some victims and if all you lose is your contact list, what a nothing price to pay for our Troops to be Safe, and our Policemen to be Safe from the Enemy within.

    We know quantum computers can hack such things with ease, and we know that they've developed to pretty high levels.

    Quantum computers can solve the encryption, but first you have to get in the front door, and that door has been booby-trapped. You can't use brute force password guessing. After a mere 10 tries it blows up the phone. There are 10,000 possible passwords.  

     

     

    Correction. They say quantum computers can do such hacking, but it has never been done.  Isn't the best a quantum computer can do so far something like 5 x 3?

     

     

    If that. I think it's all "forward potential" at this point. 

  12.  

     

     

    It makes me think of the Rosetta Stone
    Quite a woman that Rosetta Stone. A real looker. 

     

     

    she gave me the clap once

     

    better that than the crabs....

     

     

    Now, that's the JimmyJimbobJimboy we all know - talkin' some porn! Decolletage photos to follow if history is a reliable guide!

  13. I think it is like mine. Except the fireworks were in two channel and was something about ancient tube technology.

    Yeah, please! What's up with people using TUBES in 2016? Are they wearing sandals and riding horses to work too? No bloody wonder people argue like dicks. How could there be fireworks -- this place is pre-fire!

  15. Someone starts bashing and calling another a name isn't right. But let someone say something about a builder(s) lack of knowledge and the gloves come off, or a name change comes in from someone who used to be someone else and how is it not different?

    Now you're starting to understand how it works! Remember, clique rhymes with dick! 

  16. Under no circumstances do I think Apple should be forced to develop a product that today does not exist. This isn't compelling a company to comply with a court order, this is forcing a company to make something they aren't in business to make.

    This will go to the U.S. Supreme Court I'm sure. A decision supportive of the FBI's position will have profound affects not just on privacy, but on corporate policy. If they can force you to make something outside of your business model what precedent does that set?

     

    Security trumps every other issue. Apple, is one of the most valuable companies in the world. They can not in any way risk being on the wrong side of an angry government. They will cave after putting up a fight to show their customers they are sincere. They can't win this, ultimately. Terrorism trumps the BoR, for crying out loud.
