Interesting discussion of the Apple vs. FBI issue. I suppose it makes sense that the government probably can legally get a warrant and have Apple do what they want.. Seems to me like, as others have said, it could set a dangerous precident for privacy though.
Also regarding the Lego Stratocaster - I've seen a lot of debate about how the guitar's material can affect the sound.. For an electric guitar, I've always thought the type of wood shouldn't make much difference (and I've had a hard time telling the difference), but I suppose I'm not surprised that one made from legos might not sound as good as one made from wood.
Not too long ago, I saw this video about a Stratocaster made with cardboard (and made by Fender):

But Deuce's point, and I think I agree: with a warrant, the government can invade any kind of privacy you enjoy. Why would encrypted data on a cellphone be any different? If you had a boobie-trapped safe, I'm pretty sure the government could get a warrant to defeat the boobie-trap and get inside to see what's there. Very similar to a locked iPhone.
Well, to be fair, the video I saw of the lego-strat wasn't recorded with very good audio/mics, so it might sound better than portrayed on the video (and hey, it's not a strat after-all): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU7Rw6QNHJM
But the pickups on a guitar pick up the resonating wood (along with the strings) and the strings resonate differently depending on the wood they're suspended over (especially the neck since that's the majority of the surface the strings are suspended over). Perhaps it's minute, but there are differences. I definitely can hear the difference between a Les Paul, a Stratocaster, Telecaster, and a hollow-body Gibson. How much of that is the type of wood, the style/design, or the electronics, I don't know.
Glad to know someone's listening still! :-)

OK ok, what am I reading here? Let me try and understand.
Someone here has a Stratocaster made from LEGO, and it doesn't sound right?

I'm not familiar with John and Ken. <shrug> I think I got the idea for Nick The Rat. Call however you like. :-)

Cool. It's been a long while now since we've produced an episode, but plan on doing one soon.

I listened to alot of episodes about a year ago, to Me it would be better if each podcast you did a specific subject on Synchronet BBS's etc.. and maybe had a message base or email address where we could ask questions that you could answer in your podcast i.e. user feedback and help.
I love synchronet but I am sure there are several features that I just have not discovered yet.
you Techdorks rock.

Ok one thing I don't know much about is Baja I would love to hear you guy's going over the basic's of Baja and it's uses.
I guess first off I will head to the Wiki to see what's already there about Baja, but would love to hear you Dorks :) discussing what it is and it's tie into Synchronet, and I mean Dorks in a good way lol.
