The Official Status Thread

OTOH, we're continually amazed that something like Hannibal is on network TV.
Some years ago, network TV argued that since an overwhelming majority of people have cable or satellite, and those channels have zero content restrictions (because they don't technically use "public airwaves") that the FCC should relax their content restrictions as well.
I dunno if there's anything official, or if the FCC just stopped writing fines. Either way, you're right: network TV has been getting more and more racy.

What is it about 1985 that created such weirdness?
All kinds of things! Musical genre change appearing, as punk and metal became more widespread, the introduction of music videos, which was an unexplored frontier, so people were trying all kinds of things, worries about the Cold War, etc., etc.

I never can read that name without giggling.
So you probably can't talk about the city of Phuket with a straight face, either?
My wife saw a doctor Monday. The doctor's name, I swear, was Orji.

Only twice? Sounds like you don't have much experience.

I'm sure it would creep the shit out of anybody under the age of 14 or so.
That's about when I watched it and mostly I liked it, although the first time I saw that dream episode it was, indeed, a bit freaky.

i wonder wtf happened to break git like that....

Basically, it's when your amplifier starts generating unwanted beat notes because it's a piece of crusty old junk that's not very linear.
A "two-tone" test is just that -- feed two closely spaced tones into a system that's supposed to be linear, and measure the amplitude of the beat notes they generate; it's the standard way to perform tests for intermodulation distortion.
As to that opamp thing:
They're pretty much the jellybean building blocks of the analog world these days -- in a sound subsystem, they're found as input buffers and cable drivers, as most D/A converters don't have enough grunt to push a line-level signal down a long, somewhat lossy cable by themselves.

I'm wondering too; the only thing I can think of is something touched the dotfiles and dotfolders when it shouldn't have

no cliue. i had one file that was unclean and no pending commits to push.
i renamed the folder and recloned then copied the dcirty file into the new clone

I didn't say I cared.

Ok; why are we testing this? My amplifier is in the woofer of a pair of $60 speakers, so I'm sure it's a piece of crap. But why the sudden Super Mega Audio Challenge?

Maybe I happened to touch it for a few seconds. Git seems to love breaking when I try to use it.

maybe. right now my best guess is when i resized the VM to get more disk space Cloud9 IDE didn't do a clean shutdown and so didn't flush the disc buffers and a write to git was buffered.

Status: I was at a veterinary client and a customer comes in with his cat. The cat is black and white speckled. Really cute cat.
I am talking to the owner, a man in his 70's, and I ask the cat's name.
Him: "His name is Obama."
Me: "So you're a Democrat?"
Him: "No, I am an Independent. I named him Obama because he is half black and half white."
My jaw dropped. Not that I was offended. I was just...surprised. Also...kind of amused.

Because you completely missed my point in the other thread about how it's the analog circuitry that determines sound quality, no matter if you have a USB headset, integrated sound, or a dedicated sound card. ;)
Also, intermodulation distortion can happen anywhere you're expecting an active device to be linear...

After reading the rest of the post, I'm more curious about who tarunik has me confused for. I don't remember any arguments with anybody about sound quality here.

You didn't argue with someone on sound quality, you simply missed my point in the sound-card argument that it's all about the analog circuits ;)

Status: Working from home because the "mission critical" SMS is falling flat on its face.
It isn't new, this issue (the SMS box fails to send a message stating "user aborted" as the reason 3 times then reboots the line) has been happening for awhile, but now it's an emergency because the client has a demo tomorrow morning and SMS is a "key" feature.
The only difference I'm seeing right now is the messages is sometimes actually sending, but the line still reboots because it failed at least once.
I hate my job for this stupid shit.

I'm three feet away from my router!… and it's still downloading anyway

Android? IIRC there's a cap on the size of the initial download from the store, so if the app is bigger than something like 50MB, you have to get the rest of it as a separate download.

I've seen that with games on Steam as well. Steam downloads the game, and then the game downloads itself again from a different service because apparently Steam didn't do it good enough or something.

Yeah, pretty much how I feel.
At this point, we believe it to be either the cell service provider intentionally messing with us or something changed with the nearby towers and our boxes are getting a really sketchy, albeit reported as strong, signal.
Also, on mobile, @ben_lubar's poll bleeds through the posts after it.

I preferred handling the sending through a 3th party. You call their api/webservice and they send the actual SMS. At least failures and errors with that setup can be captured and are less cryptic. Unfortunately the SMS sending is often used as an emergency notification thing and in that case an on site non-internet depended solution is required.
