the various stages of static at the end are it gradually increasing the baud rate. if you have a bad line and there's too much noise it gives up and settles at 33.6 instead of 56.2k or whatever. here's what i really want to know: can i get that really cool spectrogram software on linux? i have all sorts of things i want to see run through that jobber |
||||||||

|
i was just assuming because i always heard one or two fewer stages of static when the telephone line was shit and i'd sigh and know it'd be slower before even opening the web browser |
||||||||

|
|
if you get that software let me know if its any good, |

i love how the number its dialing looks like something from a sequencer |

amazing piece of engineering really, i dont miss them whatsoever i kindof miss the feeling of login on, like your entering the cyberzone |

This is getting scary, pretty soon all of reality will be this... vivid. |
||||||||

i'm all for this vivid...ity. i'm fuckin' vivacious m8. oi i remember trying to decipher those noises when i was young and wikipedia did not exist. i didn't have youtube videos with owsum 3D spectrographs and a link to a detailed breakdown of what all the noises actually are. fast forward to the internet, where google helps me learn more about the apple II assembler in a weekend than i figured out in a month just guessing shit based on the advice of two books that completely disagreed wtih each other. it was not vivid in the slightest i caught the tail end of BBS culture... but those were so bleedin' boring compared to the internet. trapped in a box |

when i was 17 i logged into a local welsh bbs and wrote an email to bill clinton @whitehouse.gov as a joke the admin of the bbs wrote me an email to complain hehe |

So what's your point? we are all using a 56k dial up, nothing special about it, like it would ever change any time soon |

anyway, i just bought pokemon red and blue |

it was a pointless thread, just a bit of nostalgia |

yes, i remember using telnet to go playing MUDs that was good fun i must admit, lots of strange people playing those |

..on a cybermans´s tomorrows world program, in the distant past; demonstrating the potential of a new 3d printing concept. |

ive just got in this moment, chaotic out there it is, got my best socks soaking |

i think in the distant future all these things will occur out of boredom and high technology, its already a bit like that now its great |

or we will be restricted on what we can build, as technology in a few years time could be seen as too much of a a threat to the powers that be. even a child could down load and 3d print a terrible weapon. |

wow like cob webs I want a bike that has a frame with tubes as thin as a human hair. imagine the spokes also as thin as a hair. then whole bike under a 1 kilo. |

|
|
yes its true, im surprised they havent stopped the sale of drones and 3d printers. Its why i think they have started to tax solar power more because technology will eventually liberate us from the yoke of capitalism if we can create anything we want from a molecular printer or something like that |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes that would be brilliant, toilet paper that never pokes through |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the idea is not to just place restrictions on the sale of parts to prevent inventions or people building things from other existing designs...it is actual cultural modification! to make us all the same, to make us all pray the same way, and have us live under the same government. isn’t that what globalisation is all about? Full spectral domination control. |

I must admit some of the generation younger than me see to be like the thought police when it comes to social issues, they are definitely programmed in some regard |

read diamond age by neal stephenson. the so-called diamond age as in bronze age, taking place in a time when printing out diamond is just as cheap as glass and so they make all the windows out of diamond. the diamond age the end sum of it is everyone has a molecular factory kiosk and the people that own the designs make loads of money and poor people shell out their molecule credits for chopsticks that have ads scrolling down them (chinese characters go vertical better than english) |

imagine if you set it to make a piece of toast and you went out and forgot that you left it on so your house was full of toast when you got back, its true though i wonder what future anthropologists will name this current time period, probably the information age |
