Woot! I'm subscribed through iTunes...downloading now.

[werdd]

im listening to it now

[DrNoZone]

im listening to it now

Just hit play...I'm so excited!

[JAHOGS]

Pretty good music to open the show

[werdd]

hes a really good interviewer.

[DrNoZone]

He just said his audience is about 500k in size, about 60% of that in the United States. Not too shabby! I know a lot of people wanted to know that.

[werdd]

i just hope he doesnt ask RP to say fu adam curry lol

[RP08]

to skip intro, starts at around 7:30

[werdd]

He said november 5th is AOK with him

[kylejack]

He said november 5th is AOK with him

Notify the haters!

[margomaps]

Notify the haters!

Or, just let this crap drop. It's causing enough dissent. Can we just get over it already? :D

[DrNoZone]

He said november 5th is AOK with him

He did, but what I want to know is: has he seen V yet? Does he know WHY the detractors don't like the connection? I didn't get the impression that he had a clue.

[maxmerkel]

"are you a folder or a scruncher?" wtf ?? haha

[Ron Paul Fan]

To each his own

[kylejack]

He did, but what I want to know is: has he seen V yet? Does he know WHY the detractors don't like the connection? I didn't get the impression that he had a clue.
Don't doubt the Ron.

[DrNoZone]

Yes!!! Adam has said he is now OFFICIALLY going to support Ron Paul, AND he's sending him money today!

[Noog]

I can't listen until I get home, hows the interview going? How's the tone?

[DrNoZone]

"are you a folder or a scruncher?" wtf ?? haha

That was some funny shit! And Ron's answer was perfect: "people are individuals, to each their own". lol!

[werdd]

lol, yeah the scruncher thing was really funny - he basicly said that november 5th wasnt organized by the campaign, but he doesnt see how anyone could oppose it if the community wants to raise a lot of money on one day.

[DrNoZone]

Adam said he's donating $2,300 on Nov. 5th! Niiiice.

[JAHOGS]

Someone let him know he can donate more since he is married. Am I correct on that?

[DrNoZone]

Someone let him know he can donate more since he is married. Am I correct on that?

His wife can also donate, yes.

[Shink]

CAN THIS BE YOUTUBED? I'm on a Wii--any help is appreciated.

[kylejack]

Someone let him know he can donate more since he is married. Am I correct on that?

His wife has to sign off on it, but yes.

[werdd]

its not a youtube, its a pod cast by adam curry avaliable on the dailysourcecode.com october 24th edition, 40 minutes of an interview with ron paul via phone.

He's requesting that someone youtube it. He's on a wii and can't play that stream, but can play Youtube videos.

I KNOW. I AM FORCED TO USE THE NET ON A WII DUE TO A BUSTED COMP. I WANT TO HEAR THIS. ONLY POSSIBLE IF IT'S PUT UP ON YOUTUBE/GOOGLE VIDEO.



Thanks, kylejack. It's easy to be frustrated about it, after being so used to doing whatever I wanted w/mozilla&a keyboard.

[werdd]

good luck uploading a 40 minute video.

[kylejack]

good luck uploading a 40 minute video.

A) It can be done easily on Google Video
B) Many radio interviews have been broken into multiple pieces on Youtube

Yes, I'm not alone in being stuck w/Wii internet, so when someone is able, us Wii-cripples would love to hear this too.

[rich34]

Is the interview over? I'm just hearing music.

[kylejack]

Is the interview over? I'm just hearing music.

FF to 7:30.

[amonasro]

Wow this is an excellent interview. Ron really goes into depth with his answers.

[ItsTime]

It is a pod cast... you can fast forward and rewind (its not live) :)

Kick ass interview we just won over a lot of votes there! :D




Is the interview over? I'm just hearing music.

[RonFan1776]

Was a good interview.

[james1844]

YES. That was an excellent interview.

I'm so glad that Adam has offered his support. People don't get it, but Curry is independently wealthy. He's probably also friends with lots of other wealth avant guard types as well.

I really, really hope that campaign HQ takes him up on his offer of assistance.

[EvilEngineer]

Hope there are a few converts out of his 500k audience. I'd like 1/5 of them to show up for the November 5th donation. It would rock to have the full 100k donors we are looking for. I just hope the RonPaul2008 site can handle it.... we might want to warn them ahead of time to get ready for the huge donation days.

[margomaps]

Wow, that was a really, really good interview.

I'm not familiar with Adam's audience, but I gotta imagine that Ron just won a bunch of them over.

And thanks to Adam Curry for endorsing Dr. Paul, and sending him money! Way to go!

[paulitics]

Adam asked him "are you a scruncher or a folder?"

[constituent]

the decompressor, that was funny.

[ItsTime]

500k listeners 60% from the USA so about 300k :D

I am sure Adam will be talking about Nov 5th until Nov 5th.

[Shink]

Any of you who've listened--are you able to get it onto youtube or google video?

[specsaregood]

I am sure Adam will be talking about Nov 5th until Nov 5th.

Somebody tell Adam about ways that non-US citizens can "chipin" for grassroots stuff.

[EvilEngineer]

Wish I could, I'm mobile right now on my laptop. I know the pain of being on a wii.

Yeah---know how to fix a hard drive that clicks and churns when you power on?

[winston_blade]

He gave a great answer on abortion. I think that could convert many pro-choice people.

[Adamsa]

The abortion answer was flawless, he gives it from the view of a doctor which is also unique to politicians. Adam Curry well done!

[reduen]

Great interview and it sounds like another $2,300.00 for the good Dr. Paul on November 5th!!:cool:

[margomaps]

Get a new hard drive. I'm not being a smartass. :)

[margomaps]

I thought his answer was pretty good too. Pointing out the abortionist trying desperately to kill the baby moments before it's born rather than moments after, so as not to be a child-murderer...priceless. Hyperbole? Sure, a bit. But it does make you think more carefully about the issue.

[LibertyOfOne]

That thing is a goner. Time to buy a new drive. Back up anything that is not recoverable NOW!

[maxmerkel]

That thing is a goner. Time to buy a new drive. Back up anything that is not recoverable NOW!

i can affirm this, i had this once. unfortunately i did not turn it off immediatly and buy a new one - all data lost. turn you computer off NOW and buy a new HD (NOW!) and try to copy over what you can.

[shadowhooch]

Adam asked him "are you a scruncher or a folder?"

What was his answer? (I can't get this at work and the world needs to know!)

[RP08]

What was his answer? (I can't get this at work and the world needs to know!)


"to each his own"

[AcidReign]

What was his answer? (I can't get this at work and the world needs to know!)

He dodged the question.

[paulitics]

typical politician. :)

Sadly, it won't get past the Compaq screen, so I have no idea how to backup anything. So much irreplaceable stuff, baby photos, 2 years worth of my research stuff...:(

Sigh...youtubed yet?

[Danny Molina]

Folder or Scrucher? LOL

[Nash]

You might be able to access it by booting with another hard drive and then accessing the data that way.

You can either get another drive, install the OS and then make your old one a slave to access the info, or you can by an external case and get it that way.

That is admittedly a lot of work. I recommend taking it to a computer place like comp usa or something and see if they can do anything with it.

[RP08]

Quick... power it off. Don't try to get it to boot any more. The "tap dance of death" is a common symptom in drive failures due to head crash.

You have one chance to get your irreplaceable stuff off, without spending thousands for lab-recovery. And, unfortunately, this one chance is only about 30% successful.

Order a USB to IDE adaptor like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119152

Open up the computer (the item linked will work on laptop and desktop systems with IDE/ATA or SATA drive), remove the hard drive. Put it in a zip-loc bag and stick it in the coldest part of your freezer.

When the adapter arrives, unpack it, get a working computer ready to receive data (power it up), remove hard drive from freezer and connect to adaptor w/power. Let it spin up, plug in the USB port, then as soon as the machine recognizes the drive, dig through your files and start copying them to an allocated place on your working computer's hard drive.

Work fast. If this trick works you can get as little as seconds before critical failure, or as long as hours.

Again, there's no guarantee, but certainly worth a try to recover irreplaceable data.

Good luck.



Edit. Apologies for the off-topic post, but I just want to try to help out a fellow RP supporter. Hope it works.

He is married to a Dutch woman though. And she lives in the UK. So i doubt it.

[leipo]

Anyway, it was a very nice lenghty interview.

[Shink]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll favorite this thread. I have many factors involved that may render that stuff lost forever, PM if you wish.

I'll keep an eye out for a youtube of this, help if you can. In the meantime, what topics were hit, and what the fuck are 'folders or scrunchers?'

[leipo]

Shink, do you need a direct mp3 link?

If a wii accepts the format...*unsure*

[Eric21ND]

Great interview! I think Adam was really impressed actually being able to hear answers from Dr. Ron as he calls him. There was a great moment when Adam made Ron giggle...and it wasn't a fake politician laugh either. You could tell he's a genuine guy. The news about him donating $2300 was awesome too. He has a new listener for sure.

[jonahtrainer]

In the meantime, what topics were hit, and what the fuck are 'folders or scrunchers?'


Haha, that was so funny. "Well, I think that is a little off topic." Responded by Curry with "But as a medical doctor what is your professional opinion?"

That was sooo funny. Dr. Ron could roll though which was really cool also.

[ScotTX]

"The people's revolution is gonna be a podcast."

[fj45lvr]

two thumbs up.....

Curry proved he's not a tool/fool.....Hope Ron takes his advertising advice.

[torchbearer]

He is married to a Dutch woman though. And she lives in the UK. So i doubt it.

Each of his businesses can donate also as seperate entities. In fact, anyone who is maxed out can form a legal business at home and have their business donate. You can have many businesses.

[kylejack]

Businesses cannot donate to presidential candidates.

[fj45lvr]

He could donate unlimited amount to meetups and PACs though......correct???

I've got a great idea for a revolution graphics with an ipod.

[kylejack]

A PAC can donate up to $5,000 to Ron, so yes, that's one idea. PACs can't support a single candidate, though. I'm not sure exactly how they enforce, but I suspect much of what we do is riding the rails on what is legal.

[torchbearer]

Businesses cannot donate to presidential candidates.

Oh- well, they do in state elections here... that's how we by-pass the state limits on donations.

[kylejack]

Oh- well, they do in state elections here... that's how we by-pass the state limits on donations.

Yeah, FEC regulations are insane since McCain Feingold campaign finance reform.

[torchbearer]

Personally, i'd find all my friends and family and made sure they had the money to donate.

[randolphus maximus]

bump

A great indepth interview!

Does anyone know if and approximately when this might be uploaded to Google video or Ron Paul radio? This is a great interview, but a little difficult to figure out how to listen to for some of the less computer-capable users of the Internet.
