It seems the commercial of which I spoke earlier is
actually a Best Buy commercial featuring the Samsung Instinct phone.

OT- Farfisa Compact
2008-08-07 by Mark Wallis
Baby, we could talk all night- but that ain't getting us nowhere.. Hello there, Mello-chumleys, Would any of you happen to have schematics for a 60s Farfisa Compact organ? The cute one with the octave of grey keys and the hidden valves? I have one in at the moment for repair and general TLC. Some documentation would save me a tankful of time and might possibly save YOU from more minced MeatLoaf metaphors. You know it makes sense. Love and Scones, wallis. _________________________________________________________________ Win a voice over part with Kung Fu Panda & Live Search and 100’s of Kung Fu Panda prizes to win with Live Search http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/107571439/direct/01/

Sorted, thanks. A very nice man from the Hamtech forum scanned his Farfisa manual in for me this morning. Gods bless the internet. How is the Odyssey? I've worked on a couple of those, give me a shout should you get stuck. The MkI is easily one of my very favourite synths. I think the pitchbend knob seems less alien to Mellotron players..

OT. Large Hadron Collider- er, you WHAT?
2008-08-07 by Mark Wallis
Just a quickie.. If you don't know about this thing, google it. I was just wondering if it was actually 'clever' or 'safe' to build a machine 30 miles long that is actually expected to create black holes. in Switzerland, Earth. Why do I have a REALLY uneasy feeling about this?

----Please don't take this wrong because it really
isn't meant to be a shot, but if you're feeling uneasy, it means that you don't
understand black holes. Microscopic black holes carry no threat to the
Earth or to you.

No offence taken, Jon. My knowledge of the state of the union as far as the contemporary physics research infrastructure goes is scanty and casually acquired.
No problem at all, m'dear. I just panic when the words 'cosmic catastrophe' appear in an overview of something of this scale. As one does.
The wierd part is that something of this scale isn't regarded as sufficiently newsworthy to be absolutely ubiquitous common knowledge given the sheer magnitude of the gear.
I only found out about the existence of the place yesterday.
I'm not normally given to technophobia by the way. Maybe there's too much Robert Anton Wilson in my head instead of original thought.
..although I really hope we don't end up arc-welding ourselves to the Moon. It would make a rich footnote in some other culture's sci-fi film.

Odyssey - wish I could find one (or perhaps an Axxe or a Solus)
First synth was an Axxe - even that was rather good.

Short explanation is that a black hole that
contains the mass of a few atoms has only the gravitational strength of a few
atoms. Gravity's effect at distance diminishes in the same way
that audio volume does, as the inverse of the square. If you
move twice as far away from the source, the strength of the gravity (or sound,
or light) is only one-fourth as strong as it was, if you move four times as
far away, the strength of the gravity is only one-sixteenth as strong as it was,
eight times as far, one sixty-fourth as strong, and so forth. Thus, a
black hole with the mass of a few atoms has a diameter of maybe a trillionth of
an inch and the gravitational effects just a thousandth of an inch away from it
are so miniscule as to be virtually impossible to measure. That's why
there's no threat to us. The LHC may not have had much mention in the
commercial media, but us astronomy and physics geeks have been
sporting nerd wood for years over it. And curiously enough, the Moon
is the result of another planet about the size of Mars arc-welding itself to
the infant Earth soon after it was formed, so it wouldn't be the first
time!
