You're off by 3 to 5 orders of magnitude depending on the specifications of the machine and kind of work it's doing. Isolating these machines from outside vibrations as well as canceling out their own internal harmonics is no small engineering feat and typically involves pouring a concrete slab custom for the setup. Beyond keeping up export restrictions and avoiding bad installations I can see it as a way of avoiding warranty fraud with user error or crane accidents.


The least likely button is my favorite part of this, really your killer app. Finding all kind off stuff I like from the opposite of Kid Rock.


I think the major problem with services like this is that they have things at the far ends of the popularity bell curve fall off. Jcore being one of them. Kind of a chicken and the egg problem where people who like any of a number of niche generas come to the site, find it useless to them, and don't contribute. perhaps some incentive for adding new artists could break this cycle? or even just a link in the "Not Found" page tot he contribution suggesting if they like that band to leave their favorites for others.


I wonder how much a 15 write-in ballot helps things D: http://i.imgur.com/uT0X1HU.png


I've got a virtual-box VM dedicated to this kind of thing. Install all your tools first from trusted sources, freeze that image and go wild.


Have you ever looked at Sandboxie? I like it, but it's probably not as secure as a VM.


That looks interesting, are you using it?

Is it as safe as it looks?


I've used it for years and I like it.

However, I'm not prepared to make any statements about how safe it actually is. I don't have quite deep enough security expertise to know that.


yeah, I haven't had any problems using it to run various programs completely sandboxed.
