The look on the cat's face made more sense to me than the quote.
So Homer. How does a crystal Microphone work? Is it a Piezoelectric crystal or something else?

You guys don't get to see the full panoply of surreal madness that never makes it onto the forum. I kid you not, the General Developer Forum is usually about 80% garbage which we'll delete off before it becomes visible and some of the combinations are truly bizarre:rolleyes:.
It didn't translate anyway - at least not all at once...
I got my own puzzles to code through - and the whole fargin northeast got shutdown today. I had an important meeting in NYC today that got canceled!
Ehh... I think 98% is more accurate.Quote:

That's exactly what it is. This page explains it better than I can.Quote:

That will kill it as well.
But when they were new they were coveted by harmonica players for their tone that became known an the "Chicago honk." A lot of Little Walter Jacobs' recordings (as well as many others) were done through an Astatic JT-30 crystal mic.
I checked mine last night and all I got was a loud hum. But no matter, I have a hot vintage Shure magnetic element from the '70s that will fit that shell.
Seems there have been a lot of forecasts of Armageddon lately that turned out to be greatly exaggerated. The storm that hit Buffalo a few weeks back was originally supposed to hit us, but a small shift in the winds gave us only six inches of snow instead of the forecast 3-4 feet. So Buffalo got to dig out. But they're used to it...Quote:

Edison took his patents on the carbon mic to some truly serious and innovative commercial use.
So, that full panoply of surreal madness only makes it onto the forum in Chit-Chat?Quote:

The mods prayer.
Oh great and powerful mods we are not worthy to question your choices we grovel at your feet.
True dat.Quote:

I hold the secret suspicion that the whole of Chit Chat is populated by future spam bots, it's the only possible explanation for the post race.Quote:

It goes something like:-Quote:
The mods prayer
Yay though we walk through the shadow of death we shall fear not the puns of Shaggy,
We pray that Ident won't upset anyone this week and that JM shall learn some compassion from the weak,
Deliver us from JR's avatars muscle shirt and power glove (which even a deity like yerself has got to admit is a dodgy combination),
Let not your followers start another thread about whether VB6 is better than .Net,
Let Niya post no nipples,
These things we beseech you,
Amen
Cant you just move the posts to Chit Chat, where they will appear sane?Quote:

i was doing a pen testing on a site ! i could get the columns information and the password was this : 5d36fb9e6442ea74433b562bbd54c04b8ea4e97dee530c276ccf370f8d7fa41128e2046155a1234769004ca0d39428a623f9 4817837c4a51f9dde409accf9923
now correct me if im wrong! this is a 128 encrypted string right ?
What's a pen testing?
I just assumed that post was from General Developer and got moved here due to it being bizarro...
penetration testing and no
Ah, so testing out how easy it is to hack into a website?
One of my customers hired a firm to teach me how to break into our own site - showed us how to use tools - I bought two books they recommended.
Interesting.
This same customer hired a security firm a few years ago that actually "hid" in the building until after hours and then dug around the administrators offices finding passwords stashed in desk draws.
Wow, dedication.Quote:
