Technically "." is a char in a C string sense.

[Brian Warren @ Dec 19th 2005 2:27AM]

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.

another inaccessible contest like the last one.

[Russ @ Dec 19th 2005 2:27AM]

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.

[jh @ Dec 19th 2005 2:27AM]

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.

[Ryan @ Dec 19th 2005 2:27AM]

What is the URL for more info about the Bush mashing? That was brilliant. Excellent Podcast as always.

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?

[Folkestone Gerald @ Dec 19th 2005 2:27AM]

Google is my friend... found the mashup now, at http://www.audiostreet.net/artists/006/407/song_sunday_bloody_sunday.html
