Wow, I'm never first.

you once had a life.

Join the club, sir.

Cutting it a little close, eh? Less than 7 minutes before the show starts, we get the link. I almost resorted to my bookmarked live link.

wtf happened?

I promise, i promise... dammit?

Wtf, looking forward to another one.

I've never in 69 episodes seen patricks face drop like that before!

What Just Happened?

What the??!!!

Why did they cut the show?

You think you would have edited it before you posted it on the net... The long pause with no way to fast forward it really pissed me off...

bye

I guess I didn't send my email about the Blue Ray player early enought. Ohh well there's always Tuesday.

damit damit! their back. woot.

... and after 2 minutes, let's just restart the show. ;-)

What was up with the restart??Did they think we wouldnt notice

They probably hadn't started recording the live stream for the download version... or they just think we are stupid.

freeze, crash, reboot.

Oh well...;-)

"You think you would have edited it before you posted it on the net... The long pause with no way to fast forward it really pissed me off... "

um.. they're going live right now, you can't really edit that. ;)

Those Uhhhh...homebrew ummm...Phones...errr...are...ummm....kinda...ahhhh...cool. :)

I can't wait to see the Backpacks, I dislike my Dell one that my mom got with my laptop.

I just took mine apart. I used the cylinders as frisbees.

That harddrive video was great i love it. :)

Die, you hard drive! Great video! Yay! We're gonna destroy more stuff lol! I look forward to the backpack roundup also! Everybody have a great weekend! :-)

I am going to forward Robert's hot laptop experiment idea to Dr. Ruth - assuming she is still alive.

BTW The old hot tub heat protects you the same way idea turned out to be just that - an idea - as proven wrong but several of my friends "hot tub kids".

Maybe the laptop idea should go to mythbusters instead?

looking forward to the laptop backpack thing

Any idea when the Download will be availible..and what's with the restart?

This is from a Dl.tv show a while back, but does anyone have any idea when laptops will begin to be released with the Core 2 Duo?

There was a study conducted about a year ago by a Urologist at Stony Brook, who did an experiment to see whether laptop use increased scrotal temperatures (the study was published in the medical journal Human Reproduction). He found that after sitting with a laptop for 15 minutes, scrotal temperatures increased by 1 degree C. After an hour, it was found that the temperatures had increased by 2.8 degress C. There isn't an irrefutable link to infertility, but previous studies have shown that an increase of scrotal temperatures of 1 degree C can reduce sperm concentrations by as much as 40%. I think that this study is enough to make one take the issue seriously, though, especially considering that the study was done with Pentium 4 laptops and the dual core laptops being produced today run even hotter.

1. File Sharing is NOT GONE.
2. There are still sharing songs. You won't be able to stop file sharing.

I've just got the iPod version, and the sound quality is absolutely abysmal! Whats going on guys?

I've been downloading the iPod video format version of dl.tv for a long time over iTunes, with no problems. But suddenly, with episodes 69 and 70, when I download it I get an error message that says the file is corrupted or is a type iTunes can't play. This happens right after the download.

Has anyone else had this problem? Nothing changed on my (Mac OS X) system, so far as I know. Or does anyone have an idea how to fix it? I want my dl.tv!

Thanks.

this was another excellent episode! it had the perfect mix of information, entertainment, and robert's randomness. i really appreciate what you guys bring to me twice a week- a sense of peace and humanity. because technology never behaves. i want a 20-lb press. and i want to put my mom's craptastic ipod shuffle in it. don't buy one. they suck.

Here's another nit ref. the video feeds. When selecting the MPEG-4 download, it is served up as

Hey, I LUV the content whatever type. Thanks!

Hey Pat, your comment about circles and arrows on the back of each one. Was it 27 8x10 colour glossy photos with circles and arrows on the back of each one? Thanks for the reminder of Alice's Restaurant.

Go go Billy Gates!

.04 cents... gee

I'm glad I use a Creative ZVM. Yay for ZenCasting.

Holy crap, this was an awesome episode. Robert's comments especially were hilarious. This is probably my favorite DL.TV episode so far. Awesome work!

I upgraded my PC with a radeon x1600 graphics card and 300Gb hard drive and installed vista. Now all I get is a nice green rectangle in the viewing area when watching dl.tv. Any idea how to solve it? Other medai displays fine.

Why does vista turn off aero when I run firefox. It seems a bit strange to me that it only happens to firefox.

Hey dudes,

Love the show. Content is king! I have not missed a show yet :-)

Your audio has improved leaps and bounds over the poorly regulated and highly erratic audio your first few shows exhibited. Props are in order to you!

I still notice WAY too much (4dB to 6dB too much) "Midbass Mud" on your Lav mics. I find myself killing 125Hz and 250Hz rather extremely to get rid of this. If you A/B the audio from your regular shows to the audio from the "HD Lab" show, the HD Lab show is much much "real" and less boomy/muddy (seriously, listen to the HD Lab show and any other show back to back on descent monitors, you will be blown away by the difference in sound). I'd assume this was due to the appropriate sound treatments and bass trapping in the HD Lab. Your studio set seems to destroy the audio (as most small sets can). Lavs in general have too much chest resonance and proximity effect, and need to be compensated for as well.

Look into cutting the mud from your Lav mics on your Audio Console when you are on the usual set (use a 220Hz center, with a Q of approx 1 or maybe lower, and appropriate amount of "cut"). It makes you much more intelligable, and saves people like me from havnig to engage corrective EQ on our end (I never EQ unless it is really needed, and it is REALLY needed here!). More sound treatments would also be a big plus (fixing the room itself is preferred to fixing the poor room sound with EQ)

Later,

Randyman

Looks like Patrick did a good job on the hard drive, giving it a coat of paint and a storage capacity upgrade before he destroyed it.

Can't believe he didnt think at least one geek would notice the hard drive Jeremy had in his hand was a different one!

Cheers,
Daniel

Uh..........mmmmm, uh..........mmmm, mmmmmmmm........ah That was an interesting interview with Matt Hamrick.Ah.......mmmm regaurdless of the content, public speaking is not for him.

You beat me to the punch. That was a very old ratty drive that was swapped out but and a totally different western digital 40 gig drive that was destroyed.
Nice Magic trick Patrick - going to have to start watching you closer.

I'm getting kind of tired of Patrick's "support the artists by buying CDs" crusade, when clearly the RIAA profits excessively more than even an established artist like Wierd Al. Struggling artists are even worse off. On top of that, by buying CDs you are bank-rolling the RIAA's various strong-arm tactics vs The Consumer! Yes, sue your customer base, no gramdma or 4-year old is safe (these are documented)! Sony spyware was bought and paid for by CD buyers. That fact that the industry is outdated isn't the fault of the consumers. Artists and their representation need to get wise. Today, artists make significantly more coin touring and selling merchandise than moving units. Your cd money is not only being split with RIAA lawyers, but bankrolling artists that the record companies want to promote ie the latest teen emo sensation of the day or what-have-you. A sick amount of money is made and distributed by CD sales, but the artists isn't even on that earnings radar, don't kid yourselves.
