I heard a police scanner running in the other room and thought the wife had dug out my old and held scanner, I found she has an app on her phone a friend of hers installed for her, so I put it on my phone. Scanner Radio - Android Apps on Google Play
While using it I see it say the feed was coming from here, Broadcastify - Listen Live to Police, Fire, EMS, Aviation, and Rail Audio Feeds

So I punched into my browser on my desktop and found I can pick and listen to all the feeds on my computer, nice. I chose to use the flashplayer audio to run in the Torch (chrome based) browser window, then went to my audio control, "volume mixer" and set the flashplayer to be a little louder then the rest of audio so when they are talking on the scanner it's louder then the media center TV shows (I watch TV on my desktop).

I'd like to find shareware/software to control the audio and cancel out everything when they are talking on the scanner, I don't have a clue what terms to search for, any ideas?

New The likes system is temporarily out of commission.

I'm installing a new post rating system, as suggested by members in the new theme preview thread. This system needs to reconfigure the database and is currently churning through 17-odd million posts. It might take a few hours.

Sitting down, facing forward.
I don't know. The amount of info on the page has been reduced, IE type and image sizes increased or the amount of posts reduced to get in more ads, at least to me. Yeah, I can change the resolution to make it look "normal" but then everything else in the browser is too small. I have to ask why reinventing the wheel, yet again, has to happen. It was disruptive enough when the change to Xen happened, but at least that was necessitated by aging software. This time it seems to be just for the heck of it. I'm running out of patience, part of that is getting older, but this stinks in my book. Had I known this was going to happen I wouldn't subscribed again. I hate paying to be irritated.
