Comment on A/B by Steven

Ah, another interesting scenario. And I completely agree with your assessment. As a matter of fact, I have to interrupt my listening to something else right now to go listen to B…

What about when song A is merely decent, but considered a “classic”, cover B is brilliant but unknown and cover C is tedious and boring, but all you ever hear is C and when you tell people how much crap it is, and how we should be listening to B instead, they look at you like you are a circus freak that is a finalist in the world top freak pageant? That’s “American Woman”, where B is the Butthole Surfers version and C is the complete shit “anybody can slow it down and make it boring-er” Lenny Kravitz cover.

My services are available any time*.

*Fine Print: any time means whenever I am not sleeping, not doing anything else, and near a computer with an active internet connection, and assumes that I have checked my email and/or feed reader recently.

That is approximately as helpful as the vendor of this particular software has been so far, and your help was far cheaper, so maybe we should have gone to you first.

It means that you have a general data service error, coming from client ID 55481919-5415-BB76-E833-F2176FB1E566.

And this particular error happened at 12:26:03.387 on the 12th of October, 2008 (I am assuming a US date format here, otherwise there is time travel involved).

It was attempting to subscribe to an out of range sequence. From my expert analysis, sequence 5 is out of range. Try a lower sequence. Or maybe a higher one. Depends on what the range is. Or a different client ID, if the range depends on the client ID.

I hope that was helpful.

Huh. You may only get the weekly highlights, but we get bleeps. You should get an explicit content only version.

I am so jealous. We only get a weekly “intternational version” of the daily show that is just highlights of the week. Which is weird, because they repeat it at least 5 times a week….

Anyway, Jon didn’t whip anything out.

Well, at least now that it is on Comedy Central instead of CNN, they don’t bleep the “George Carlin” words.

Thanks for sharing this, and good to know more people run into this issue, I guess it’s time for a new release (0.4) soon which includes this fix.

Excellent! I’ll have to post more of this sort of stuff to help people who are dealing with the same little problems I am…

Thanks for these kernel parameters! I had the same problem and these solved it for me too. Tried lots of other stuff first that other people posted with no success. Don’t understand though why this is not fixed in hardy yet as it appears that a gazillion people struggle with that sound problem.
