Date: 18 Oct 2005 14:00:10 -0700 I started off a Chemistry major. And then I was a Sound Engineering major. Then Marketing. Then advertising. Then English. I got a degree in English, and the last year of school, I realized if I went two more quarters, I could get a degree in Economics also. So I did. However, what I really majored in was touring with the dead on Spring break and in summer; saw about a hundered shows while I was doing school. Thank you, Uncle Sam, for the student loan program! I also played in a very active rock band throughout school. When I got out, I moved to Hoboken NJ, saw a bunch of east coast shows from 93-95, and managed a warehouse before I ended up in music sales and then a variety of sales jobs. I'm currently trying to transition into journalism. So really, I majored in Dead Tour, and sadly, I am no longer doing that. ------------------------------ From: ttotto@webtv.net (william weaver) Subject: Re: drug tests for jobs (NDC) Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 14:08:45 -0700 last test i took two years ago flunked , was a hair test , i spent some bucks to do the shampo thing , they guaranted the stuf , money back guarante , just send them a copy of failed test , went down to personel office to ask for copy of failed test they said nope it was their property , the kicker was that i had to pay $ 25.00 to the hiring company , they wouldnt refund me that either , called them all a bunch of nazis and left . ill never submit to a nother drug test never , and it was just wacky tobacky by the way . ------------------------------ From: "Bill" Subject: audio extraction questions Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 21:25:48 GMT I know that the program Exact Audio Copy (EAC) is recommended for extracting audio bits from audio CDs to the hard drive. I always use it when this needs to be done. But EAC can't be used for copying a data disk (such as a flac or shn disc) to a blank CD. Presently I use Adaptec's Easy CD Creator (CD Copier option) to copy data CDs. Is this copying the data accurately (like EAC presumably would) or should some other program be used? And after I use EAC to copy an audio disc to my hard drive, I use Adaptec's Easy CD Creator (Audio option) to copy the audio bits from my hard drive to a blank CD. Is the extraction of info from my hard drive by Adaptec's Easy CD Creator program acceptable (accurate) or is there a better program to ensure the info being extracted is the same as what's on my hard drive?

IMO if you are downloading or trading music in Flac or SHN then you likely have a good ear for music and don't want to use a more "lossy" format I would say listen to the discs and compare,if the copy sounds as good as the original Easy CD Creator will be fine. if you would like to download a SHN plug in for winamp it works well too. there is more info and downloads here: http://etree.org/ look on the right side of the page. -- http://www.hostmybb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=rftg B-N-Ps, no B no Ps,no spam, trades,post,chat come join! ------------------------------ From: "RickNBarbInSD" Subject: Re: who on rmgd would you like to meet?

This guy at a party down the street told me that I would have a hard time getting a job because that 3 or 4 year "gap" in my "work history" would raise some red flags at his company, a huge tech firm.

Dunno for certain, but I've always thought it was referring to the life of the main character "The all-time loser", and the relentlessness of it's decent into a more and more hopeless situation. "The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down" kinda like "ya cant go back an' ya can't stand still" but more pessimistic for this character. Rick P.S. DAMN! I am having one helluva deja vu!!
