New Legislation Proposed to Restrict Fair Use

Jan 22, 2006

On our regular visit to the Electronic Freedom Foundation's (EFF) <A HREF="http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004340.php"><I>Deep Links</I></A> website last Friday, we were alarmed to learn of proposed US Senate broadcast flag legislation that includes provisions to limit fair use to "customary historic use of broadcast content by consumers to the extent such use is consistent with applicable law."

Requiem For a Record Store

Requiem For a Record Store

Jan 22, 2006

On Friday, January 20, five different friends forwarded Chris Morris' <I>The Hollywood Reporter</I> column on the closing of LA's Westwood Boulevard Rhino Records store. Established in 1973, the record store closed its doors on January 19 (although it staged a parking lot sale on January 21 and 22). Rhino owner Richard Foos blamed the store's demise on a number of factors, including pricing competition from national chains, the lack of demand for "a physical product," and "too many other things to do and too many ways to get your music without paying $18 for a CD."

Thanks to JA for Genesis Spectrum

Submitted by dcrowe on

The review of the Genesis 5.2 contains a spectrum which allows us a glimpse into the harmonic distortion characteristics of the speaker. It is only a glimpse, and the other speaker measurements in this issue do not have a spectrum for us, but I want to express my appreciation for a look at the behavior of even one speaker. I am espcially intrigued by the subharmonic output (the "halfth" harmonic?). I would be interested to know if the subharmonic is typical for this speaker over a range of frequencies, or only at selected frequencies.
