it's widely recognized that Iraq had problems due to many sources. I

ven't heard anyone praising Saddam for enlightened leadership, except
that his repressions kept the competing fundamentalists and ethnic
groups in check. Another problem echoed around the world was the cold
war and how it played out in regional conflicts over the years. Then
there's oil, religious fundamentalism, competition between local
countries, corporate interests, the list goes on. A lot of things
happened to create the Iraq of Saddam.

You should know that bringing up Clinton does not innoculate the
following administration. Mistakes can and are propogated across
multiple administrations. The allegation is that the current
administration took advantage of

the no-fly policy to try to provoke a
war. If the previous administration was part of that, then so be it. If
not, so be it. Either way, the allegation should be looked at.

We can hold ourselves to our professed high standard, and if we fall
short, admit our own mistakes. Of course, that does not mean we should
ignore mistakes from others in the world.

It doesn't make our policies better to pretend it's all about "hating"
this or that administration. It's really all about creating policies
that help us move toward goals we all agree are important.

If we criticize one country, that does not make every other country
perfect. The current situation, and situations previous, came about due
to actions from people all over the world and in Iraq. Finding faults in
others, easy as that is, does not make our mistakes go away. Recognizing
the entire range of contributing factors and acting on that information
is the only way to improve our success rate in the future.

Wanted to make sure everyone got to see this link - what with

DA-88 outputs 8 channels of T-DIF which is very similar to
AES. The IF442 only has a single 2 channel SPDIF input.
The two are not really compatible as far as a direct digital
transfer is concerned. Then if you want to "lock" the Paris
transport to the DA-88 to do multiple passes, you will need
a sync card (SY88) in the DA-88 to send MTC to the MIDI
interface on the Paris computer (you will need a MIDI
interface on your Paris Computer for this). Then you can
simply lock the Paris transport to the DA-88 as Andy
described in the other post.

Give us a little more detail on what it is you are trying to
do exactly.

You could use that with the ADAT card to digitally transfer tracks. I don't
think it will do sync, though. So, you'd still need the MTC card.

Good luck!

Neil,
I’ve been playing with this for a few weeks, and I find it’s only really
useful as a special effects reverb. A little metallic for my tastes, but
a nice addition as a free effect. If you want to check out a good sounding
algorithmic reverb listen to:


http://tinyurl.com/8s7v2

It’s not free, but it is very high quality. Currently the VSS3 for Powercore
is my favorite algorithmic-based VST reverb plugin followed by the Eventide.

The R66 adds modulation, (missing from convolution units) at a good cost/quality
ratio.

In the 48 hours that bush gave Saddam before the invasion, there were satellite
photos showing Russian special forces trucks and transport aircraft moving
the stuff to Syria from the top suspected WMD site at that time. Prior to
this time, trucks were moving stuff to this site from all over Iraq. This
was on the national news, they showed the photos, but of corse the story
was squashed, never to be heard again. The WMD is probably sitting back
in Russia now, or in Syria. Maybe somebody can find some info on this on
the web.

It was clearly stated by president Bush, that he wanted to topple Saddam
and his regime before Iraq was invaded. WMD was not the only reason we went
in. We should have immediately gone in in 1997 when Saddam kicked the UN
weapons inspectors out, but somebody was too busy copping a hummer in the
white house and giving our pulse weapons technology to the Chinese.

Use your common sense, if they can hide tons and tons of explosives, isn't
it possible that they could still be hiding some WMD? WE did find some WMD,
although not a significant amount. it was about a hundred or so shells and
rockets, enough to kill thousands. They could not and would not account
for tons of WMD. Anyway I think they were moved out of Iraq, they had plenty
of time and they had help by other countries.

Jumped back in to see how you all are doing, and it's the same dang

Here's what we know.

Rewarding terror brings more terror. (thanks Spain!)

Ghandi was wrong. Sometimes war brings peace.

And the beatings will continue until the terrorism stops...

Honestly, it's been pretty quiet politically on the group until these attacks.

Cheers,
Kim.Hi andrea
I have transferred DAT to Paris digitally many times, and whilst I do have a
SMPTE -MIDI convertor, (Pro Tools SMPTE Slave Driver), it is not needed for
that process.
The digital clock of the dat is enough.

For sure, but 85% of the thread has stayed nice and civil, and most people
actually seem to be genuinely listening to each other which is good. :o)

So you still using Paris?

I want one of these:

AHA!! Well, yes, don't we all. ;o) A D/A is high on my list too. I've got
some cash coming in soon which is going to something musical, and I've been
tossing up between a DAC-1 and a Digitech GNX-4 guitar effects unit and looper/recorder
for live use. At the moment the scales are balanced toward the GNX-4, partly
because Sakis told me that D/A's have some new technology on the horizon
which will mean a drop in price and give more channels per dollar...

....but there's still a little voice in the back of my head going "Buy a
DAC-1! Buy a DAC-1!". ;o) ...oh, no, sorry, just realised, it's not in my
head at all, it's just Deej. ;o)

Cheers,
Kim.Hi all.
I have and old Paris sesion, but actually don't have the hardware. It's possible
to transfer those session to somother software?

uldering of that responsibility, and sometimes not enough, or not enough
of the right things, or the right way.

I don't know if we've made all the right decisions - war isn't a decision
that makes sense at the time in light of the loss and devastation it brings
- it only disrupts one course to put another in motion. The best we can do
before hand is speculate whether the current course is destined for tragedy
or not. After the fact, only time will tell what the new course will bring,
but we never know if left as-is what would have happened. So, we have no
definitive answer - esp. when put on a human scale. We didn't have a chart
that told us what number of Jews had to die before Hitler needed to be

pped. We didn't have a chart for Iraq either, and made the assumption
there were direct threat dangers there - the true answer will never be known
(WMD could be in Syria, or not at all; Saddam was working on building nukes,
but whether that was destined to become a dire threat if left unchecked,
with or without sanctions, we'll never know). What cost has to be paid

force? No one really has the answer to
that - it's an impossible question to answer from a personal perspective,
and well grounded broad/global perspective is quite difficult to come by,

Well, that's about enough philosophizing for me.

Hey - sorry I haven't made it out your way yet - I'm in Co. Springs now. If
you have a free afternoon after the first of August, drop me a line. Ever

>>Dedric,

Thought this bit below here was well written, and very true. There's much
arguing about many things, but the truth is very much that you can't know,
at the time of the choice, what will happen as a consequence of either option,
in advance. You have to guess, and can, of course, be wrong.

One thing is for sure, and that is that Saddam wasn't likely to suddenly
become a nice guy and implement democracy and abolish torture etc himself,
so you're weighing up two bad options.

Cheers,
Kim.

>Jamie,

There is alos thte argument to be made that those who ignore the lessons of
history are doomed to repeat them. As I have said in other posts to this
thread, I believe that our position in the world as the last standing
superpower is a reaction to our having been repeated called on put a stop to
events that were, for themost part, caused by the European proclivities for
nationalistic aggression, the policy of appeasement of that aggression and
the inevitable escalation of that aggression caused by said appeasement. We
see it happening today. The Brits learned from this and though many of their
citizens seem to have forgotten these lessons, many more have nort,
including those who run the government. I had this awful feeling when we had
to go into Bosnia while the EU sat on their hands and did nothing while a
genocide was in full swing, that, like it or not, we were going to need to
hang on to and pay the taxes for this big military industrial complex,
because we were going to have to keep cleaning up other people's messes.
Having such a potentand military force also tends toward a proclivity to use
it to stop something before it starts, as the Europeans should have done
with Hitler, but didn't do. They were both politically reluctant to be seen
as *the aggressors* and preempt him, an also psychologically unwilling to
fight. This led to the slaughter of millions. Though the Italian government,
the Danish government and other former eastern bloc governemnts have
contributed a lot to our efforts to confront terrorism in Iraq and
elsewhere, I think if we could see some sort of indication of *lessons
learned* on the part of the continental western Euro nations like France,
Spain and to a lesser extent Germany,we would feel a bit more comfortable
with trusting that history didn't repeat itself. The Euro citizenry is, to a
greater or lesser degree sticking their heads in the sand, as happened prior
to WWII. We, and the Brits, have not forgotten. I am not including Canadians
in this because as upset as I know they are, and as divided as they are
about these issues and their feelings towards us, they have, like us, been
dragged repeatedly into the never ending Euroquagmire, have suffered as we
have and I have to repect their feelings, whatever they may be.

------=_NextPart_000_0015_01C5856A.93B6B760--I think a bigger powersupply (400-550w) with a better cooling system will
make the day for you. As Deej is saying, it can be heat or/and power supply
related.

Absolutely - sounds great. I'll send you an email with my cell phone number.

Ouch! Hey trust me on this, I wasn't calling *you* a
pampered intellectual or anything...

Howahhya?


You and I will always dispute the "violence breeds more violence"
line. I have been in too many personal situations that give the lie
to this canard, and history contradicts it on so many occasions, that
I cannot let the assertion of this belief go unchallenged since the
acceptance of it threatens my freedom as well as yours.

In the case of Islamofascism there are two possible responses:

Appeasement and slavery

Some option involving, well, violence. Hopefully as little as possible.

Those who will not rise up and resist murdering psychos who would
kill innocent civilians riding the subway will soon lose their freedom
unless others pay the price to secure it for them.

I'm on the side of freedom. As imperfect as it is.

DC

Every now and then, hit your return key twice. Makes it easier to read. :^)

You're absolutely correct that we need to know history and not repeat
our mistakes. If you're going to go back to Hitler, go back a little
farther and investigate why Germany was ripe for a despot to take
control. Could WWII have been prevented with wiser post WWI policies?
Could be.

Stopping something bad before it starts doesn't automatically mean going
in with guns blazing. It also means being very aware of what how past
policies contributed to bad situations and taking that into account when
formulating new policies.

The world is growing up. At some point in history, if war becomes really
necessary it's a de facto admission of failure to anticipate wisely. Are
we there yet?

Cheers,

PS. Canadians are cool. We have one in our comedy group. And a Brit. If
you're ever in the hood you should come see a show:
