plus..Alice in Chains> Nirvana

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

i havent heard the whole show, how much time did he spend in jail?

The first time he was slated for a year in solitary, but I don't remember if he said how much time he actually spent.

I always thought Kurt Cobain was an insufferable douche.

I'm to the point where I've said "If I never hear a Nirvana tune again, that'd be fine with me."  It seems they ALWAYS play Come As You Are. 

Sorry, Sister Sandra.

Ace is going to burn your soul now.

[jazmunda]

This deer in the scope is getting shot in every show this week.

[Gassy Man]

G'night.

G'night.

[BobGrau]

John Peel's record collection is more riveting.

You mean his slender man-thighs, of course.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Yawn -- listening to him is like listening to some hyperactive kid talk about how he got lots of Halloween candy . . . except the kid would be more articulate.  Turning it off.

Nothing's stopping you.

poor sandra hahaha

If only geeks like this guy knew to hack the REAL enemies...   Like the Federal Reserve, for instance.

Then I'd call them good.

Sorry, Sister Sandra. 

Nirvana ripped off Killing Joke for Come As You Are. But you knew that already cuz you're real smart, right? Same reason Dave Grohl played drums for free on K.J. album, as payback.

Come as You are is actually one of my least favorite songs by them.

then he'd be dead along time ago and we wouldn't have a good show tonight

It actually goes deeper than that!

All this talk of hacks and yet Dave hasn't called in...

[maren]

I love the beginning of this Alice in Chains/Kashmir.  I know they play it a lot, but the beginning of this gives me chills.  The rest of it -- nobody can touch Plant, Paige, Jones and Bohham.  (it's the ringtone on my phone  )

Remember the Russian guy who took the Goldman-Sachs proprietary software. I think he eventually got off on some appeal. Likely, -cue X-Files theme here- because if the public knew about the software manipulation going on in financial markets.....

Good memory Albrecht. That would make a good topic for Art as well.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Agreed on both points !

I sort of look at it like this, there's only 12 notes in a scale. The more songs that are written, the more similarities there will be.

Nice to encounter some one else knows this.  i don't think Grohl played as payback...he was a fan.  the dude from System of a Down was going to do it.

I used to almost always find peoples passwords taped to the bottom of their keyboard.

That is true.  Maybe it's a matter of tempo...key change.  i dunno.

[QuantumMystics]

Ahhh, my days of BBS and software testing for Apple....the good old days!!! When everyone was a freak and payed an enormous amount of money to buy a computer instead of a car. OR some of them didn't pay...Kevin, maybe?

[trostol]

i still havent gotten my win 10

[ShayP]

poor sandra hahaha

LMAO! 

[maren]

I don't know -- I'm not sure we have the best and brightest. 

[inuk2600]

That would be funny if the key fob was Mitnick's invention. He sounded a bit defensive.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Me too, but they would never tell us so we never knew which ones were plants or which ones were spies.

I caught this guy a couple of times lying about his education/college background. Other than that, it would be hard to know because if a programmer doesn't work out they will fire them in 2 months (so someone being with the company only a short time wouldn't gather much notice).
Anyway, he recommended to me some good cop stuff while he was there.
