You did say eight char's.
3.141592
Technically "." is a char in a C string sense.
He said 10 digits after the decimal point. 57:45 in the show.
You guys should relly invest in pop/noise filter.
Microphone Shockmount with Pop Filter, would be best. kutgw
Tech Support Generation link is broken.
I say intentional.

Congrats Brian ;)
another inaccessible contest like the last one.
Guys, for the thanksgiving thumb drive....drop skype on it and start signing em up one by one. Word of mouth is the best marketing.
Your shows are getting better and better! I find it a fantastic way to spend an hour. It would help if sometimes you would spell out certain recommendations - for example it took me a couple of rewinds to get the title 'cluetrain manifesto' although, to your credit I _could_ rewind and get it! :)
PS the mashup was FANTASTIC! Very well done.
What is the URL for more info about the Bush mashing? That was brilliant. Excellent Podcast as always.

Very cool listern to it at work!
Bit late for the competition, listening at work this afternoon here in the UK... just wanted to let you know that the show is great, cheers guys.
Where can I get that George W Sunday Bloody Sunday mash up from?
Google is my friend... found the mashup now, at http://www.audiostreet.net/artists/006/407/song_sunday_bloody_sunday.html
