Also, the article says that the first single released with a Def Jam Recordings logo was T La Rock & Jazzy Jay's "It's Yours."  However, the article for Rick Ruben's band, Hose, says their 12-inch EP was the first recording released with the Def Jam logo.  Again, it can't be both.

Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express-verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other matter-the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by thought, in the absence of any control excercised by reason, exempt from any moral concern." - Sigg3.net 03:22, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

It tends to ruin once and for all all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of life.

message: For one, coaxial ethernet uses a negative voltage on the cable, convenient for the ECL drivers. So if you look at it as no-voltage and yes-voltage, the sign is the other way around. It needs to be non-symmetric to make collision detection work. UTP ethernet can easily be wired with the polarity wrong. Many 10baseT transceivers detect and correct polarity errors, and then have an LED to tell you that. They can then advertize this LED as a feature.
