will have to look at this...

I got them from the Internet Archive. Fixing the zip files is simply appending two null characters at the end of the file (I just took the opportunity and wrote about it http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=249 ). 

Good job on rescuing those.

How did you find out or discover the null character issue? 

I noticed that the filesizes were "right". So I got a file that I knew I had the original and compared them. 

 

I made this stupid archive.org zip fixer.

GUI. Windows only.

I predict now that someone in the future will be trying to download the archive.org zip fixer from archive.org (because the real site is no longer up) but won't be able to extract it because the zip file is corrupt... :D 

Take that you future cunts, flying around in your hover cars and reading what I'm writing now through the wayback machine version 4k. 

Best joke ever 

if they invent resurrection in the future, they might decide to skip those that taunted them.

I welcome our future Overlords, and hope to be of service to your every need. Every need ;) If you have lost the recipe to LSD, cocaine, good funk bass, anal sex, or any other thing that was hip in this time frame, I'm the man you need. 

Don't get taken in by Kanye West. Whatever that little bitch says, he does not represent. 

Don't kowtow to those future bastards - they'll ressurect you from a bit of your hair as a day-duration-gimp.

Also, send me your recipe for LSD. 

damn, probably all they would need to figure out the chemical composition would be a few strands of my hair. 

if they got a hold of Mitch Hedberg's body, I wouldn't have even that advantage.

Speaking of Mitch Hedberg, download Parliament/Funkadelic's Atomic Dog sometime; it's pretty apparent to me, his whole mannerism and voice inflection was derived from this one record. 

I hadn't considered the concept that a very distant future could be reading this right now.

/No, "now" isn't a relative thing. The future is just bad lag. 

I hate the future, by the way. 

I hate the future, by the way. 

I'm drunk enough, gn. 

Also, send me your recipe for LSD.

Wont do that over the internets, but I have a story to share. When I was kid, my little dearly departed creole granny from Louisiana would visit us a few times a year. It was a tradition in her family to make their own root beer distilled into a concentrated form from sassafras roots. She would bring several bottles of this concoction up for me, and let me tell you buddy, that stuff would fuck you up good and hard. You were suppose to mix the stuff with tonic water or seltzer to dilute it, but I never did. Straight, no chaser! You may already know what substance this sort of root beer shares a similar chemical composition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mdma 

 

These are some amazing GPL sound effects:

There are some very good sounds there.

I knew of this pack, it seems to have gotten bigger though. :)

GPL for sounds is a bit strange, since there's no source. CC would make more sense. 

GPL for content still makes sense; if you create a derivative texture/sound/etc, then your derivative texture/sound/etc must also be free for people to use. 

GPL for sounds is a bit strange, since there's no source.

The GPL defines the "source" to be "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it." By this definition, sound effects can well be their own source if in .wav format. For lossy formats like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, source would probably be a lossless version. 

Practically, you run into trouble as soon as you mix GPL sounds with anything under a different license (because the result would be considered a derivative work by the GPL, and the viral aspect would kick in). The other license might not allow the work to be relicensed under GPL, in which case you have to bin the whole work.

The result is that GPL only really works with GPL, ie within the context of the GNU project. It's good for the GNU project, but bad for progress.

The GPL doesn't play nice with others, which is just as bad as commercial licenses not playing nice with others and hence puts the whole GNU mythology ad absurdum.
