  1. Re:Down to the millisecond??? Dubious by PhunkySchtuff · · Score: 5, Informative · on New Clues To How the Brain Maps Time (quantamagazine.org)

    Here's some information on the accuracy of drummers, with and without a click track: http://musicmachinery.com/2009...

  2. Re:speed of takedowns by Brucelet · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Jonathan Coulton Song Used By Glee Without Permission

    The question is whether Glee crossed the line from "sounds similar to" to "used the same background recordings as". Coulton has a karaoke version available, and at one point it was possible to purchase a usb drive containing source tracks of this song (among others) as part of a creative commons fundraiser, so it's certainly feasible that the Glee version simply stuck new vocals on top of JoCo's existing tracks. There is some strong evidence that that is exactly what happened.

  3. Pointless by Trogre · · Score: 1 · on Why Distributing Music As 24-bit/192kHz Downloads Is Pointless

    What's pointless is any further debate about moving to 20MHz samples at 64 bits when music distribution has a much more serious (and actually real) problem. So much of our music is being destroyed beyond recovery before it even leaves the production desk.

    No music I produce will succumb to this trick, ever. Perhaps that's why I don't get as much radio play these days.

  4. Re:Bad Hacking by cant_get_a_good_nick · · Score: 1 · on ReCAPTCHA.net Now Vulnerable to Algorithmic Attack

    4chan didn't quite break it, more like they broke time's form implementation. They did a lot of 'hacks' but most was on how Time handled the poll - they didn't use any CAPTCHA at the beginning, then took the form offline, but not the voting script, so 4chan voted well past the cut off time, will millions of monkeys voting.

    see reCaptcha blog and this well written article

  5. Re:Three sentences turned by lilmunkysguy · · Score: 4, Informative · on "Moot" Working On Reboot of 4chan Platform

  8. Re:Democratic? by Jurily · · Score: 4, Insightful · on The "Copyright Black Hole" Swallowing Our Culture

    Exactly.

  9. MARBLECAKE ALSO THE GAME by 4D6963 · · Score: 0, Offtopic · on Is Arizona's Internet Voting System Safe Enough?

    Someone tag it marblecakealsothegame. Not saying that Arizona's voting system would be even remotely as exploitable as Time's.

  10. Re:Dumb article. by robably · · Score: 1 · on Using the Internet To Subvert Democracy

    i find it hard to believe there was no mischief behind moot getting 16m votes, it would take take 4chan 100% of there visitors to vote for the last 3 months

    It's even better than that, and more impressive - they made the first letter of each of the top 21 names read "marblecake, also the game" link
