Thank you, R. L. S., for posting this. My cousin and I were having a conversation just last night along similar lines. It’s something that I have been wrestling with for about the past year because I’m not convinced that everything, right down to a friggin’ glass of water, is a conspiracy. I have been drawn into this “everything is a…[Read more]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Do you know which one they gave you?

It’s interesting that you are suggesting to link the word “method” to “interpretation”. Though a “method” could seemingly be analogue or digital, I largely think of it as something digital – a sequence of steps that can be flowcharted, if you will, with “decision diamonds” with “Yes” or “No” as the outputs in deciding what to do next. An…[Read more]

So just to be clear here, you’re looking for the nature of the feeling and not the feeling itself? Would not the two be intertwined, though? Seemingly, one can’t fully explore the nature of the feeling without exploring the feeling first.

Abebooks is always my first choice. I only use Amazon if I really want a Kindle book. For everything else, I avoid Amazon as much as possible.

Funny, I just sent a rant to someone about this very topic of film photography! Here is a little clip from that rant, “…I’m so fed up with digital everything! To me, life was more enjoyable when we put vinyl on a turntable and loaded film into a camera. When taking analogue pictures with film, you not only needed to know how to take the p…[Read more]

Hmm…interesting thought. I’ll have a closer read of that article over the weekend.

Sorry db!

Yes, FiatLux, and well said. I say it to people all the time – if there is an audio show nearby where you live, go to it! Yeah, there will be a lot of digital and WiFi stuff there, but the analogue and tube-based product is worth putting up with the rest! There is a big analogue revival in the audio world and it will blow your ears into the…[Read more]

Interesting thought. A node in computer science is a data structure that usually is set up like a tree, or a collection of fixed data points or other nodes. I’m not sure that analogue could handle such a concept, not only because it would be horrifically slow, but because there would be no fixed point. I don’t know. I’m not really a computer…[Read more]

Hmm…interesting. Very interesting. Well, my understanding (and not saying that it’s correct) is that the language of the Universe is colour, tone, and archetype. I believe that numbers may be an end-result of that, or stated differently, something that pops out of that.

Yes, very good, basic explanation. I’ve been torturing friends and family with my analogue vs. digital rants for the better part of a year now! I’m quite sure that most of them don’t get it, or more importantly, don’t actually care! They also don’t understand why an engineer (electrical) would have these issues. Not all of us engineering…[Read more]

No, the technician is right, you can’t do this. The main reason is that you’d have to have the second modem configured exactly the same as the first and this would create digital signal sharing conflict of which one is actually communicating with the Server. Your ISP would actually see the second modem, even though it really wouldn’t work…[Read more]

Hmm…that’s looks like it might be doable. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Whoaman,
I gave you an Upvote because I liked the positivity of your brief statement. Like Fox Mulder, I want to believe. And I know that per Rogue One, rebellions are built on hope. However, I’m not too trusting of the future. I’m wondering if you might care to comment further on what “help” you think is on the way and when do you…[Read more]

Oh, very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the update, PiPoe. First I’ve seen it. Guess I’ve got to find a new streaming service now!

It’s a tough one – how to run a forum. As a general rule, I don’t like forums, but their importance can’t be overstated, especially now that the planet has been sentenced to our own home prisons. Forums usually start out great, but as word gets out, they tend to attract trolls and “me-too’s”. Things often get re-posted multiple times, even…[Read more]
