    Back when I was a horny teenager, I had a huge crush on Jenny Hanley off Magpie. My good taste in women was confirmed some years later when I found out that she owned a pub.

    By the way, I only just found out that the theme music that Pedro posted a link to was performed, under an alias, by the Spencer Davis Group.
     
  3. Susie Stranks, surely?

    Jenny Hanley replaced Stranks in 1974, I don't know why but she didn't do it for me.

    Just wait until your license expires on your digital music collection .. with CDs you own them.
     
  6. I have got a DVD of Classic Tottenham Goals. Supposed to be quite rare. Worth anything, d'you think?

    I presume it's a very short DVD and will have a very limited market. If you find the right person who really wants it, it could be worth 6d

    Thats the issue with music from apple, you dont own the recording you rent it , when you pass away your rights for others to play it as on an inherited iphone etc evaporates . I remember some celebrity thinking of taking apple to court as he had spent over 16 thousand pounds on apple music but he learnt he cannot pass it on to his siblings upon his death (it may have been Joe Brown). The other argument is that as you do not buy the music to own it then the sale should not count towards the "top twenty charts" - suprise suprise apple somehow they got past that issue.

    Here is a ponderer.

    Is the CD the thing you own, or the digital information held on it?

    If its the digital information, then the device on which its stored is irrelevant - so when there are no CD players left, you could store it in the cloud.


    But can you? Same for vinyl - what do you actually own?

    Does a Kindle and the like get heavier the more books you download onto it , even by the slightes miniscule amount of weight , if not how the hell does it do it ?

    This is what chat GDP says - my questions in Red:

    Does a Kindle and the like get heavier the more books you download onto it?

    No, a Kindle or any other electronic device does not get physically heavier when you download more books onto it. The weight of the device remains constant regardless of the number of books stored on it.

    The weight of an electronic device such as a Kindle is determined by its physical components such as the battery, screen, processor, and other internal hardware. The weight of the device does not change based on the amount of data stored on it.

    However, it is important to note that the more books you have downloaded onto your Kindle or other electronic device, the more storage space they will take up. Depending on the amount of storage space available on your device, having a large number of books downloaded may eventually slow down the device's performance or require you to delete some files to make room for more.

    I'm not convinced - so SSD never changes physical state i.e. weight?

    That's correct, SSDs do not change physical state or weight as a result of data being written or deleted from them. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), which use spinning disks and moving parts to read and write data, SSDs rely on NAND flash memory chips that store data in a non-volatile manner. The data is stored as electrical charges in memory cells within the NAND flash chips, and the number of charges within each cell determines whether the cell represents a 1 or a 0.

    Since SSDs do not rely on spinning disks or moving parts to read and write data, they do not change weight as data is stored or removed from them. This is different from HDDs, where the spinning disks inside the drive cause changes in weight due to their rotation. In contrast, SSDs are entirely electronic, and the weight of an SSD remains constant regardless of how much data is stored on it.

    The "1"s have a weight value of 1 and the "0"s are the opposite, so have a weight value of minus 1, so as most things-digital are made up of near enough 50/50 1's and 0's they weigh near enough nothing :hattip:

    I asked my new best buddy - chatGDP - only started using him/her/it today - and good luck if you work in any academia or testing organisation is all I can say - this is the reply, generating in 3 seconds ish.


    The ownership of a CD or vinyl record can be a complex issue that depends on various factors, including the country in which you live and the applicable laws and regulations. Generally speaking, when you purchase a CD or vinyl record, you are buying the physical medium on which the music is stored, rather than the digital information contained on it. This means that you own the CD or vinyl record itself, and you have the right to use it for personal, non-commercial purposes such as listening to the music.

    However, the digital information stored on a CD or vinyl record is also protected by copyright law, and you may not have the right to reproduce or distribute the music without the permission of the copyright holder. This means that you cannot legally upload the music from a CD or vinyl record to the cloud or any other digital platform without obtaining the necessary rights or licenses.

    In recent years, some music publishers have started offering digital versions of CDs and vinyl records, often in the form of downloadable files or streaming services. In these cases, you are typically purchasing a license to use the digital content, rather than the physical medium on which it is stored. This means that you may not be able to resell or transfer the digital content in the same way that you could with a physical CD or vinyl record.

    Ultimately, the ownership of a CD or vinyl record can be a complex issue, and it is important to understand your rights and responsibilities under applicable laws and regulations. If you are unsure about your legal rights to use, copy, or distribute music from a CD or vinyl record, you should consult a qualified attorney or seek advice from the relevant authorities in your jurisdiction.
