DM Radio Week 32 !!

[tyder001]

Can anyone answer one little "off topic" question for me? I download The Paracast with Itunes and it only takes a short time. Same for Binnall and other podcast. But, when I download Zoomer Radio with Richard Syrett it takes 35 to 45 minutes. Just wondered if anybody knew why.

I'm not sure of the question, i just know he's had a heck of a time trying to do a radio show with the new mac's, maybe once he's up to speed he'll get to like it.

Has your son found Win 7 ( i use 64bit version) simply an amazing os?

In short, iTunes simply links to the servers that store the files. Apple doesn't host them.

We actually doubled the file size this week to improve audio quality. But we have a pretty fast server.

Actually he says Win 7 makes him throw up in his mouth a little every time he has to use it. (unlikely but he dislikes peecees too) He only has to boot it up once in awhile for the tech support work he does. He wonders why any one would use it unless the person would need it to be compatible with their work computer.

Friends don't let friends do Windoze.

BTW there are perfect GUI emulators to make win 7 looks just like OSx

but that's to bad for your son
he'll never knows the joys of;

custom modding computer cases
over clocking cpus, memory
evaporative cooling
liquid cooling
complete submersion systems ( i did one of those with industrial Flourinert a non conductive fluid with a very low freezing point and ran my Motherboard in a deep freezer. what a blast that was)
liquid nitrogen cooling for extreme overclocking
multi-graphics cards ( SLI and Crossfire) with multi monitors, three screen 3D
or really any gaming from the major studios

but if he's on a mac he wouldn't be interested in any of that anyway
but im happy he likes his mac

Holy crap this thread exploded!

Ward, after posting what I did, i realized I came off sounding really, really harsh at the end by saying, "I'll show you how wrong you are." I felt terrible and I was going to apologize as soon as I got home. I get home, no cable, which means no internet, phone, or TV. They're going to come check it out tonight. Anyway, I've been using Macs for years now, and I was able to do a lot more work with music after I made the switch. However, since Windows 7, I can say that both OS X and Windows are closer in quality than ever. I had no trouble recommending a Dell to my father when he said he wanted to keep it under $600. You can't do that with any Apple laptop.

And you're absolutely right, they use the same parts. I am partial to Apple's design, but that's purely aesthetic.

With regards to viruses, I think that for a user like me, viruses on Windows pose little threat. It's when it comes down to a regular user that Macs make the biggest difference. Whereas with Windows, you do have to be aware of viruses and malware, you really don't need to think about it with a Mac.

Hi Tyder,

I think podcasts are stored and retrieved from a wide variety of servers. Even though you might be downloading a show through iTunes, it is not coming from Apple. There is a good chance that the show in question is just not on as speedy a server as the other shows.

Thank you that explains it. I enjoy Richard Syrett and would have loved for him to get the Coast gig instead of ...oh well we've all beat that one to death. At least I can get the Paracast quickly. I notice several podcast with dates that are 2 years or older. Must be a tough biz cause they come and go so quickly. I guess Gene must be doing something right.

joys?

1- he has a modded case, most likely a cover on his laptop
2- why would he want to over clock?
3- what does he need cooing for? Macs are already much cooler than a peecee
4- now thats just stupid.
5- ditto
6- how many cards do you need? i run 2 cards and 2 monitors, don't need anymore.
7- games? my son and I use our systems for work. no time for games.

what no mention of right clicking? LOL!

use the right tool for the job YOU need to do. to me using a peecee would be like hammering in a nail with a pliers.

I have a potentially disturbing observation:

Here we are at Friday of DMR Week 32 and the Showlist Archive does not have a displayed linkage for any of the Wk 32 Shows. Is this just some short term fumbling by CyberStationUSA or is this the process to be expected in the future??

Just Wondering and Waiting to Listen.....

Perhaps CyberStationUSA use PCs? They should switch to Macs too!

(In case anyone is wondering, I'm kidding)

 

[Aardvark]

Well, I'm waiting to listen on either a Mac (MDD) or an iPod. Does that give me any leverage??

The Archives are fully updated. All the way including last nite's program. Enjoy.

Thanks Angel of Ioren for the apology. This is the first real sane thing said on this silly pc vs mac thing. "And you're absolutely right, they use the same parts. I am partial to Apple's design, but that's purely aesthetic. " that should be the final word on that subject.
