As I sat there operating absent, an e-mail popped into my mailbox. It had been from John, my husband's ally. I usually would not have even considered taking a look at it, because it was intended for Steve, my spouse, however the topic of the specific e-mail intrigued me. It stated, "Hot XXX". My thoughts was a perplexing mixture of ideas. I understood it had been from 1 mate to a different, which I most likely should not open up it, but with Steve interstate until the next Monday, 6 times absent, I made a decision to open up it and find out what my husband's very best mate was sharing with him.
Once i opened the e-mail there was a remark from John. "Mate, I understand your Mrs isn't into these things, but verify it out and find out if you do not obtain a hard-on viewing this chick fuck. I have stroked out 3 orgasms currently imagining it had been you and me banging this babe! Appreciate......and keep in mind, it is your flip for our subsequent spotlight!"

Comics 1060-1061: A Timeframe For Sucking
1061. This reminds me of that one comic about approximations in that I do not give a shit about it at all, and I can't be bothered to figure out why anyone would. Discuss!
196 comments:
I didn't bother trying to 100% get what those two strips were the fuck about.ReplyDelete
1061 could have been a good comic, maybe, if the text wasn't so small and hard to read.ReplyDelete
Lol, who am I kidding? There are no pictures in 1061. It would have been better as a blog post. Totally inappropriate for the format. It's like those Youtube videos that are really just slideshows of cool images. I could have viewed that as a webpage, and it would be far less bandwidth. Same goes for this 'comic'. Would we be losing anything if you'd just converted it to text?
- AnonymousMay 28, 2012 at 2:37 AM
I don't even need to do the math to see that the system proposed in 1061 will not be 'precisely synced with the solar cycle'. What does he think leap seconds exist for?ReplyDeleteReplies

Are you really that stupid, 6:41?Delete
The point is that the comic would only be clever if it were demonstrating an alternative that was also ambiguous, complex and correct. But it's not correct. It's not even essentially correct but wrong in a some clever way. It's just randum nonsense. It's nothing more sophisticated than a 6 year old saying LET'S INVENT A NEW TIME WHERE SECONDS ARE CALLED WEES AND MINUTES ARE CALLED POOS AND INSTEAD OF 24 HOURS IN A DAY THERE ARE FART HOURS AND EVERY 4 YEARS WE HAVE A NO BUM WIPING DAY WHERE YOU STOP THE CLOCK AND BOG ROLL IS BANNED LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
In conclusion, 6:41, the fact that you made your post confirms that you will never make a positive contribution to humanity. You should, right now, find a knife and stab yourself through the heart with it.

goomhr I also find it difficult to understand clocks and calendarsReplyDelete
I think there is a degree of parody in 1061, because some of the suggestions he makes are obviously absurd. But it's pretty impossible to determine where the serious stuff ends and the parody begins. I could suggest that Randall is making fun of his own "revolutionary I-am-smarter-than-everyone-else" suggestions, but I don't think Randall would be that witty.ReplyDelete
- TiegerMay 28, 2012 at 5:02 AM
i dont think i understand the point of 1061. is he trying to make out that the current calendar system we all use is pointlessly (and more importantly, *arbitrarily* ) complicated? because if thats his point then... he's wrong. our calendar system actually makes a good amount of sense if you look at its development (ie, 12 months originally, and you cant have them even lengths and still make a year, so we'll add a few days on here and there, and then you get some roman emperors that want to give 'their' month extra days and take days off months they dont like, and before you know it, its like this.).ReplyDelete
things that are organically (no, not in the sense of 'without GM'...) grown over time pick up properties that may not be ideal if you were designing them from scratch all in one go. this is not new, interesting, or exciting.
and as for 1060.. just dull. says the same thing a penny arcade said a year ago (ie. some people on kickstarter may be twats).
i'm just waiting to see the xkcd kickstarter, with stretch goals like 'if i get more than $200000 i will make a comic that takes me more than 30 seconds to come up with the idea and draw.'Replies
- TiegerMay 28, 2012 at 5:07 AM
oops, my bad, i had (mainly due to not being at work on friday so not being bored enough to look at how shit xkcd was) managed to avoid seeing 1060, so seeing the thing about douchy startup comics, my brain had filled in the blanks and assumed it was the kickstarter one.Delete
oh well.
this ones shit too, i cant be bothered with going into details on why/how.
- AnonymousMay 28, 2012 at 5:21 AM
Can someone please work out:ReplyDelete
1) In what way it's both "compatible with old units" and "free of historical baggage";
2) What does he mean by "solar cycle": the sunspot cycle so important for radio comms, or the Julian solar cycle?
3) And how would either of either of these be synced precisely with a calendar determined by the phases of the moon?
Haha oh wait SO QUIRKY the UK second is uniquely 0.9144 "standard seconds" so in fact it's all bullshit.Replies
- AnonymousMay 28, 2012 at 9:00 PM
Why would it need to be synced with any other calendar? It's supposed to supersede all other calendars. Moon phase determination is out. You're obviously one of those people who are just frustrated with xkcd because they're far too thick to comprehend it.Delete

I get the impression most of you are over thinking this. It's just a "wacky" comic, where he says his EST will have all these wonderful aspects which it quite clearly does not, whilst trying to throw in as many references to geek culture as he can. He no doubt also got a boner from writing "date math".ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousMay 28, 2012 at 5:56 AM
I realise that, in the context of xkcd, "you're THINKING!" is a criticism.Delete
But let me at least imagine an alternative universe in which xkcd incorporates sophisticated humour based on subtle observation, impeccable logic and good effort.
- AnonymousMay 28, 2012 at 6:27 AM
Then by all means imagine that, but posts such as that by 5:21 seem to be besides the point, given that the point is Randal's wacky idea is designed to be self-contradictory for the lulz.Delete
Now, ways to fix the comic, that would be a good use of thought. As would determining how he came to produce such a pile of shit in the first place. I would say it looks like something produced after a drunken discussion with friends, but as I understand it he doesn't see friends, instead using his time to worry a lot about cancer.
The worst thing about 1061 is that people are going to use this retarded system whenever they think it'll make them sound clever. Oh yes, they will.ReplyDelete

1061 has a good idea at the center, making fun of ridiculously convoluted dating systems, but it crashes when it comes time to deliver the joke. It's a build up to gradually more absurd mathematical processes, which is good, but then it suddenly becomes 'synced with Narnia time' which is just goofy, not absurd. So you get this slow build up that veers off at the last second to land in silly pop culture reference land. Not to mention that the buildup is a little too slow, so the sense of 'is he really serious' becomes 'good god he must be serious' before you hit the punchline.ReplyDelete
Or actually, you don't, because there's no punchline and the joke just kind of fades away without any interesting impact.
It's like Look Around You without any of the maintained absurdity, witty writing, or humor.
This is from something I'm working on, sort of.
I helped my bandmate move his old couch into his new apartment this afternoon--the couch that used to occupy the attic we used to hang out in all the time back in high school. That couch was old. That couch had stories to tell.
Once we'd finished he offered some beer and we sat on the new couch--the spoils of victory--and my friend put on some Radiohead.
"Man, this takes me back," he said. "I remember the first time you came here and introduced me to Radiohead. I was hooked from that weird wind at the start of Planet Telex."
"Except, I didn't bring that album. I brought OK Computer."
"Are you sure?"
"Does it matter?"
He shrugged and said, "I guess not."
Of course, it did matter. That had been the day my friend got it in his head that we should be in a band, and talked me into talking my parents into getting me guitar lessons. The actual band didn't materialize until I'd come back from college, of course, but it was a big day, and one of us didn't actually remember it, which meant that in all probability neither of us did. How many times had we told that story? How much had it warped in the telling, until our memories were just of the stories we'd been telling?
The vision came to me then: the two of us in high school, working on some homework or other. I dig around in my bag for my math book and find the CD I picked up earlier and say something like "You want to put on some music?" and we do, and we probably even enjoy it. But there is no big moment. The album is incidental to the question he asks me later: "Wouldn't it be cool if we were, like, a rock band?"
We shared stories for the rest of the evening, but I found myself doubting all of them, his and mine both, and no amount of alcohol would shake this nagging doubt.

How many times had we told that story? How much had it warped in the telling, until our memories were just of the animalistic, merciless sex?
The vision came to me then: the two of us in high school, playing footsie under the desk. I dig around in my bag for my liberal arts book and find the xkcd printout I picked up earlier and say something like "You want to look through the xkcd archives?" and we do, and we probably even enjoy it. But there is no big moment. The comic is incidental to the question he asks me later: "Wouldn't it be cool if we, like, had a site too?"
We shared semen for the rest of the evening, and I found myself swallowing all of it, his and mine both, and no amount of alcohol would quench the bitterness.

You're sitting on the toilet in a public restroom. You look down and see a hand reaching over from the stall next to you, wordlessly requesting toilet paper. Only this is no ordinary hand. This putrefying monstrosity is obviously the hand of a member of the Undead. A thousand questions enter your mind. Do zombies even need to poop? Is this just some clever (for a zombie) trick to get your own hand in grabbing-and-eating distance? Or will not showing the zombie this basic courtesy incur its undead wrath? As you ponder these questions, the hand's gesture becomes quicker, more impatient. What do you do?ReplyDeleteReplies

I think BHG did what you'd expect any personification of dork evil to do: achieved technically correctness.Delete
However, the "Hitler is evil!" thing is just so boring. WW2 was really a war between the British, US and Soviets, with the British empire losing and the other two carving up Europe. The US was more sensible in that it was militarily softer but instead ensured increasing economic subjugation which has survived to this day - a younger and as yet uncorrupted Blair keenly pointed this out in the '80s. Someone like Hitler was an inevitable consequence of the post-WW1 sanctions imposed on Germany, and (before the war) Britain's elite were divided between those who were ideologically fairly happy with Hitler and those so far up American arse that they looked forward to selling their country across the Pacific.
tl;dr Germany's Hitler was as Afghanistan's Ayatollah - the people's certain reaction to chronic and unbearable external force.
>Germany's Hitler was as Afghanistan's Ayatollah - the people's certain reaction to chronic and unbearable external force.Delete
Are you saying Hitler is just fine because he's the natural product of Germany's history? Well, I don't think it's exactly what you meant, but you seem to downplay what he's done/the fact that people voted for him because of what Germany went through. Like "it was bound to happen, so stop blaming them :c". I hope history can at least serve this purpose, i.e. people learning about stuffs and going "OK, we went through hard times and maybe we're still bitter about all of it, but regardless, we shouldn't have reacted that way. We've been asses".
Anyway, while I do agree with part of that analysis, it doesn't account for the whole anti-semitism thing. In this sense, saying Hitler = Germany's history (and Treaty of Versailles more particularly) isn't completely accurate. For instance, would he have been elected if the NSDAP program didn't talk at all about Jews? Maybe, maybe not. But the point is, relying on the people's anti-semitism was a safe bet at the time, so surely it was an important part of the Nazis' appeal.
- AnonymousJune 1, 2012 at 5:10 AM
I think he fueled anti-semitism more than he relied on it. When people are in a bad way, it's really easy to identify a group and get everyone to hate them.Delete
For example, over the past 15 years Britain seems to have developed a mindset that severely disabled = lazy undeserving poor. Disability just *is*, whether you deny it or not, just as people born with Jewish heritage just *are* - you can do things which increase or decrease the number of Jews or disabled people in the future, but at any particular moment, it makes no sense to feel anything either toward or against anyone for being either Jewish or disabled. And yet, they're a conveniently weak group who can be painted as being a net detriment to society.
It doesn't matter that many Jews/disabled were/are significant contributors, nor even that the sum of that taken by Jews/disabled is far outweighed by that taken by more powerful exploitative elements - what matters is that you distract people from those who are to blame with *anyone* too weak to fight back.
While, for the emotional trauma, it's fairly easy to think Hitler = hates Jews, it's far more informative to see Hitler = charismatic Italian-corporatist reaction to post-WW1 sanctions.
tl;dr The hatred for Jews was a symptom of the circumstances Germany found itself in.
- AnonymousJune 1, 2012 at 12:52 PM
That is a circular argument, because in actuality the circumstances of Germany were the symptom of the Jews. Karl Marx - Jewish.Delete
@5:10: Hm, it's hard to say... I get your point, but saying the Jews were only a circumstancial scapegoat leaves aside the fact that anti-semitism is centuries old -- I'm not even speaking of Ancient Egypt or stuffs like that; I'm speaking of European/Christian animosity towards Jews.Delete
You could say that Hitler simply used an old meme and updated it to fit the post-WW1 shit Germany was facing, but it's more than that. I believe this hatred was very sincere on everybody's part, and that they truly believed the "Final Solution" was just that, the solution to their problems. As sincere as their butthurtedness over WW1 + expansionist nationalist ideals were.
But more to the point: the Nazis actually thought the Jews -- more specifically Jewish bankers -- *were* the cause of WW1. "Jews = money" is old too, and has actual historical reasons (loans with interests forbidden by Christian interpretation of the Bible, but not by Judaism so European Catholics were pretty happy to let Jews do the dirty job for them), so again, I'm pretty sure Nazis were sincere about that. I'm not saying they were right obviously, but they were being sincerely wrong in their analysis of the real causes of their sufferings. Human wars largely predate Jewish finances.
tl;dr They thought the circumstances Germany found itself in were the Jews' fault. I agree with 12:52, with the notable difference that he's giving you a first-person account of the Nazi thought process.

As for BHG misuse, I think it would've worked a little bit better if at least he'd said something selfish/over-the-top/trivial e.g. "I'm gonna sleep with Cleopatra" instead of "I wanna go explore time, just think about all these adventures! :D", which in itself isn't a bad thing. I mean, Hitler isn't the only large-scale criminal in history, it's not like killing him is the Best Fucking Thing You Could Do For Humanity's Sake. So instead of coming across as a huge jerk, he first sounds like a curious scientist/historian (like "woohoo, finally I get to see the places/events I've always dreamed of"), and then at the end, like a moron/bad historian. In terms of BHG, it's just fail all the way.

The title text sort of lends itself to this interpretation but of course it's not explicit. It doesn't make any sense for Black Hat to be doing this though, which is why either Randall is making a far worse joke than I thought or he's reduced Black Hat to an even paler shadow of his former self.

Actually, this is one of the things that I like the most about xkcd: it gets people to talk about things. Art can have a lot of functions, and one of them is to spark debate -- and by "debate", I mean "vile hate sites included". Everybody's happy (or happy to be angry), it's all good.ReplyDelete
On a somewhat off-topic note: I don't find xkcdsucks and the xkcd forums wildly different. Discussions tend to be more short-lived here, and sometimes they're just one-way statements, but apart from the tone/words used, there are a lot of similarities.
That's not surprising since the two sites have pretty much the same demographics. At some point, some would-be xkcdsucks readers started to think xkcd sucked, for different reasons. But the people? Overall they're the same I think. The biggest difference is that one side would love anything as long as it has the "xkcd" label on it, and the other side thinks they're too cool/clever to like it (it includes the "geekier than geek/we're the true geeks and we don't worship Randall" crowd, but not only).
Another difference between the xkcd forums and xkcdsucks is the anonimity thing. It allows people to say and do things they wouldn't necessarily say or do if they weren't anonymous. But you know... I actually like the concept of accountability, and more generaly, individuality. Now, anonimity can be good too, and it does have its perks, but yeah, it's less fun. Not to mention that *some* people think it allows them to be stupid -- I mean more stupid than they really are, which is sad. I'd say those stupidity problems do happen here but aren't that common. I guess I just used this opportunity to do a cover rant against 4chan/"Anonymous" haha, incorrigible me. Ah man. I'm still amazed at the amount of crap you can put into something and still call it "Anonymous".
But to get back to your post, Capn: maybe it was just to get people arguing about Hitler; I guess I should thank Munroe for that. But more likely: there's a reason why the Godwin point exists. Hitler is just the first person that comes to mind when people think of good and evil, right and wrong, me and the others, etc. So let's say I'm Randall and I'm brainstorming: "one-time time machine! It'd be fun if someone tried to fix the biggest mistake/tragedy in history but failed... HITLER!"

We pretty much despise each other, but the spite never goes further than that which we feel for ourselves. Some of us post anonymously because we still have some degree of shame.Delete

Kizolk, you have learning difficulties if you think that we need xkcd to realise that the Hitler-is-evil thing is overdone. Anyone with half an imagination can pick any article anywhere and use it to "spark" a stupid debate. That's not a statement on the value of the source, merely on the infinite ability of humans to procrastinate.Delete
As to anonymity, people who like to put their names on things often value ideas less than those who don't, favouring social masturbation over reason. At worst, no-one's prejudiced, and choosing to put your name on something is benign. What is more, no-one on the Internet is accountable for what they say unless and until it is possible to teleport to their front porch and punch them in the face when they say something stupid.
1:21 also has a strong point: no-one here admires anyone else. We don't respect each other and we certainly don't respect Randall. We are here to point out what is fucked up and wrong, and in the process we either improve ourselves or we hate ourselves more.

Anyone feel slightly sorry for the Queen? The rest of the Royals get to scrounge but she obediently spent her life taking part in this absurd, camp role in a dead empire run by a civil service which has now been all but sold off to another dying empire across the Pond.

Specific information about this ALSA module
This module is intended for use with the jack driver "usb_stream".
First the index assigned to the device must be determined:
cat /proc/asound/cards
For the following instructions insert the first integer not previously in use for CARDNR.
Use this .asoundrc file:
# The usb_stream plugin configuration pcm.!usb_stream { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string default "CARDNR" } type usb_stream card $CARD } ctl.!usb_stream { @args [ CARD ] @args.CARD { type string default "CARDNR" } type hw card $CARD }
The jack daemon can be started with options like these:
jackd -vR -p50 -dusb_stream -dhw:CARDNR -r44100 -p128
Limitations for the US-144
The US-144 works with kernel 2.6.33 and above, but only when uhci-hcd (USB 1.1) is forced. This can be done by using an USB 1.1 only USB hub or by disabling ehci-hcd (USB 2.0). The US-144 will run as an US-122L, so the digital channels won't work.
The module options for snd-usb-us122l
|TASCAM US-122L Version 0.5
|Karsten Wiese <email@example.com>
|index:Index value for US-122L. (array of int)
|id:ID string for US-122L. (array of charp)
|enable:Enable US-122L. (array of bool)
Introduction for TASCAM US-122L soundcard
There are two ways of getting Linux drivers to work, you can either compile them into the kernel or build them separately as modules. Read the Kernel-HOWTO for details of how to compile a kernel.
You must turn on the sound support soundcore module. This is in the kernel. Look in the sound drivers directory and it should be the first option. Most people enable the module setting. That way you can load and unload the module manually if you have multiple soundcards/devices or if you intend to debug or use cutting edge software which may cause your drivers to halt sometimes. Of course it also means you have more control of your system.
Most modern distros come with soundcore compiled as a module. You can check this in numerous ways. The easiest way is to type:
modinfo soundcore
If this command returns that you have this module, then you don't need to recompile your kernel.
Quick installation
This explains how to build from source tarballs. See GIT_Server for instructions on getting and using the latest source from git repositories.
Type the following commands in the shell of your choice.
Make a directory to store the alsa source code in:
cd /usr/src mkdir alsa cd alsa cp /downloads/alsa-* .
Now unzip and install the alsa-driver package:
bunzip2 alsa-driver-xxx tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx cd alsa-driver-xxx ./configure --with-cards=usb-us122l --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install
Now unzip and install the alsa-lib package:
cd .. bunzip2 alsa-lib-xxx tar -xf alsa-lib-xxx cd alsa-lib-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install
Now unzip and install the alsa-firmware package:
cd .. bunzip2 alsa-firmware-xxx tar -xf alsa-firmware-xxx cd alsa-firmware-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install
Now unzip and install the alsa-utils package:
cd .. bunzip2 alsa-utils-xxx tar -xf alsa-utils-xxx cd alsa-utils-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install
Now insert the modules into the kernel:
modprobe snd-usb-us122l ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss
Now adjust your soundcard's volume levels. All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native mixer program to unmute appropriate channels, for example alsamixer from the alsa-utils package. Note that some usb-audio devices do not have internal mixer controls. Run:
You can also look at the utils/alsasound file. This script is designed for the RedHat Linux distribution, but it can also be used with other distributions which use System V style rc init scripts. This will allow you to load your modules at boot time. If you don't want to do this you can of course compile them into the kernel instead and save yourself the hassle of coming to terms with the rc init scripts.
Setting up modprobe and kmod support
Before you send a mail complaining that "I don't have /etc/modules.conf, where do I find it ……" ‒ the /etc/conf.modules has been deprecated with a few distro's, but in your case it may still be /etc/conf.modules. Basically they are both the same, but recent version of modutils use /etc/modules.conf instead. Nothing to worry about as such, optionally please update to the latest version of modutils. This should solve your problem.
Here's the example for this card. Copy and paste this to the bottom of your /etc/modules.conf file.
Debian GNU/Linux users need to save this information into a file in the /etc/modutils/ directory (eg. /etc/modutils/alsa) and run update-modules.
Note also that the kernel module soundcore has been renamed in Debian kernels >2.6.23 into snd. A workaround is to put a symlink at /lib/modules/x.x.xx/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko pointing to snd.ko
Systemd users need to save this information into a file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory terminating with .conf (eg. /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf).
In case of modules auto-loading instead, the module name must be inserted in a file in the/etc/modules-load.d/ directory terminating with .conf (eg. /etc/modules-load.d/alsa.conf).
# ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-us122l # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
To copy and paste the above to your /etc/modules.conf file follow these instructions.
This is a short explanation of what happens in the /etc/modules.conf file.
Native devices
After the main multiplexer is loaded, its code automatically requests the top level sound card module. String snd-card-%i is requested for native devices where %i is the sound card number, counted from zero (the first sound card) to seven (the eighth sound card). String sound-slot-%i is requested for native devices where %i is slot number for the corresponding ALSA owner (which is basically the sound card number). The options line allows you to set various configuration options before the module is loaded. String id (or snd_id) lets you set the name of the card which is then returned in the /proc/asound/cards file, i.e. to user space applications. Other options may be available depending on the specific card. Options for these cards are found in the INSTALL file or above.
username@hostname# pico /etc/modules.conf # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias snd-card-1 snd-cmipci options snd-cmipci id="first" mpu_port=0x330 # OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
For drivers older than 0.9.0rc5 use:
options snd-cmipci snd_id="first" snd_mpu_port=0x330
The "snd_" prefix has been removed from the module options to fit with the kernel standard.
Autoloading OSS/free emulation
At this point we are finished with the configuration for ALSA native devices, but you may also need autoloading for the OSS/Free emulation modules, an ALSA add-on. At this time only one module does not depend on any others, thus must be loaded separately: snd-pcm1-oss. String sound-service-%i-%i is required for OSS/Free service where the first %i is the slot number/sound card number and the second %i is the service number.
username@hostname# pico /etc/modules.conf # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # OSS/Free portion - card #2 (cmipci) alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
The alias for snd-seq-oss is not necessary on the second device, because there is only one /dev/sequencer regardless how many devices you have.
The .asoundrc file
This file allows you to have more advanced control over your card/device. For most setups the default, system-wide configuration is sufficient. You may change this file only for special setup. The .asoundrc file consists of definitions for the various sound devices available in your system. It also provides access to the pcm plugins in alsa-lib. These allow you to do tricky things like combine your cards into one or access multiple I/O streams on your multi-channel card.
Below is the most basic definition (only example - not required to define at all).
Make a file called .asoundrc in your home and/or root directory:
vi ~/.asoundrc
Copy and paste the following into the file, then save it:
pcm.usb-us122l { type hw card 0 } ctl.usb-us122l { type hw card 0 }
Software volume control
If your card doesn't have hardware volume control (e. g. Asus Xonar XD/XDG), you might want to create software Master control. Edit .asoundrc as follows.
pcm.softvol { type softvol slave { pcm "dmix" } control { name "Master" card 0 } } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "softvol" }
Restart alsa, then open a music player, play a file and close the player. Then check alsamixer, as you should have a Master volume control. Note that this control doesn't have a mute option.

[alt: 'But you're using that same tactic to try to feel superior to me, too!' 'Sorry, that accusation expires after one use per conversation.']
We all know that atheism vs. religion has been a heated debate for a long time, and many of us probably have opinions on it. That's nice. There's a lot of comedy to be had in the debate - I think it's a result of the fact that both sides are so very passionate, so it's easy to turn that into very energetic, funny material. Anyway, the point is, there's a lot of stuff you could do to make fun of this debate, but this comic doesn't do it.
A guy named Filipe wrote me an e-mail about this comic, and he pointed out that you could replace "atheists" and "fundamentalist christians" with any other feuding groups and the comic would have the exact same joke. Twilight fans vs twilight haters; democrats and republicans; social scientists and hard scientists; nazis and minorities, (or, for that matter, xkcd fans and xkcd haters). The point is just about the nature of disagreement, in the abstract. It's getting all sorts of heated discussion, and, perhaps, added pageviews because he choose to use something nerds happen to enjoy arguing about. But when you actually stop and think about it (something so few xkcd fans seem to ever do!) there's basically nothing there.

Q8: What are some additional useful to know baseball card collecting terms ?
(part 4)
Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.
Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.
Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player.
Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.
Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.
1959 Fleer Ted WilliamsTed Williams was one of the greatest hitters ever to play the game ! The 'Splendid Splinter' played from 1939-1942 and 1946-1960 all with the Boston Red Sox. He missed 1943 thru 1945 due to military duty when he was a pilot during the wars. For his career he hit .344 with 521 home runs. Ted Williams was one of the biggest stars baseball has ever seen, and his baseball cards remain very popular and valuable.
Ted's rookie card was in 1950 Bowman and he was exclusive with Bowman from 1950 thru 1954. In 1954 he also allowed Topps to make his cards which they did from 1954 thru 1958.
In 1959 Fleer signed Ted Williams away from Topps and assumed the star Ted Williams would be retiring, put out an entire 80-card set of cards highlighting Ted Williams and illustrating his life both in and out of baseball. Williams decided late in the fall to resign for another year perhaps damaging the sets impact. Today these cards remain extremely popular with most of the cards in teh set still quite affordable.
There is one very rare card in this set, #68 picturing Ted with Bucky Harris.
UNFORTUNATELY Topps had Bucky Harris under exclusive contract and
Fleer had to quickly halt production of this card making it a significant
SHORT PRINT. Only a few made it out to the public. This card is quite rare,
hardly ever seen and a plain old simple checklist making it the perfect
candidate for counterfeiting.
Other interesting cards are those that picture Ted with Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Sam Snead and Jim Thorpe. In addition, cards of Ted fishing or with his airplane are also very popular.

1956 Topps PinsIn addition to their regular issue 1956 Topps baseball card set, which in my opinion, was Topps' nicest regular issue set, Topps released a special pin set. This was the first pins ever issued by Topps.
Few issues can compare to the 1956 Topps Pins set. The colorful and attractive 1-1/8" diameter pins, just like baseball cards from the era, were packaged with bubble gum. The pins featured a full color photo of the player with a pin clasp on the reverse. Interestingly, some images for the pin set are the same as those on the regular 1956 Topps cards. Even if you don't want to collect the set, if you collect 1956 Topps cards than YOU MUST add at least one 1956 Topps Pin to your collection.
The 1956 Topps Pins set features most of the eras Hall-of-Famers including Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Ernie Banks, Duke Snider, Al Kaline, Yogi Berra, Eddie Mathews and also includes some super tough scarcities such as Chuck Stobbs, Hector Lopez and Chuck Diering. There is not firm opinion as to which of the 3 scarce short prints are the toughest to find.
In the end, collectors in the day preferred their cards to pins and Topps cut back the 1956 Topps Pin set issue from a planned 90 pins to just 60.

1963 Fleer BaseballIn 1960 & 1961 Fleer produced baseball card sets of old-timers like Ruth,Gehrig & Cobb, ... but kids weren't impressed. They wanted current stars. Fleer had to try something new ... COOKIES !!! In an attempt by Fleer to circumvent Topps exclusive rights to baseball cards, they issued their 1963 baseball cards with cherry flavored cookies instead of gum.
The 1963 Fleer baseball card issue was most likely intended to be a much larger set issued in multiple series but Topps sued Fleer after the first series was released stopping further production. Due to Topps deep pockets Fleer soon pulled the set from the market leaving this very popular set at just 66 cards plus an unnumbered checklist.
But what a 66 cards!!! The 1963 Fleer cards are attractive and feature an extremely high percentage of stars led by Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente & Sandy Koufax along with 2 very scare Short Prints: Joe Adcock and the checklist.
The most interesting card in this set is the Maury Wills Rookie card. Even though Wills started his major league career with the Dodgers way back in 1959 quickly becoming a superstar, his 1963 Fleer card is considered his rookie ! How is this possible ? Well, back in 1959, 1960 and 1961, Topps did not consider Wills worthy enough to have a baseball card.
As hobby lore has it: Wills was quite upset at this slight from Topps. After Wills won the 1962 N.L. MVP award, Topps quickly came a knocking but Wills said "NO THANKS!". From 1961 thru 1966, Wills prevented Topps from making his cards. Wills and Topps finally made up making his 1967 Topps high number short print his first Topps card and also his most expensive card. Adding interest to the Wills baseball card story, Post Cereal released a Maury Wills card in their 1961 set making that an earlier Maury Wills rookie. Wills was also pictured on a 1960 Topps card featuring the 1959 World Series. That card featured Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base with Wills pictured trying to make the tag.
Much of the above is true but Wills has said there was no "feud" with Topps and that he simply had signed exclusive agreements with Fleer.
