    Microsoft · · posted by ryuzaki0 · from the thank-god-we-could-all-standardize-on-ie7 dept. · 279 comments
    caluml writes "There is a humourous look at "What would happen if Microsoft had designed GMail". Gems include: "Another security measurement we'll add is that you won't be able to log-in with just username anymore but are required to enter the full username@gmail.com. Furthermore, we will change the browser URL from 'http://gmail.microsoft.com/' to the more professional looking 'http://by114w.bay114.gmail.live.com/mail/mail.aspx?rru=home'.""

    caluml asks: "I am looking at getting more into music making, and buying some decent-ish synthesizers. Most sequencing software out there is for Mac or Windows, neither of which I have. I have looked at Audigy and Audacity, but wonder if there are any others that others find worthwile. Can anyone give me their recommendations for sequencers, audio editors, and multi-track recording software?"

  3. UK Parliament to be Made Redundant?

    caluml writes "The Guardian is reporting that the current UK government is trying to sneak a new law though in an innocuously named bill called 'The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill,' which would get rid of that pesky, interfering need to put laws to the Houses of Commons and Lords to approve. There is already the Parliament Act that can be used to force laws through, which was used recently for the hunting bill. " The original coverage is a bit old but the bill is still being tossed around in parliament. The text of the bill is also available via the UK Parliament website.
