Right. Electronic music is evolving along the same lines as the computer did. It's becoming more and more accessible to the average person to make really complex music tracks at home.

Power corrupts and too many people seek power. The American people are docile due to the relative comfort and routine most of them live in and due to a self-interest inherent in the value of individuality and a free market that is so predominant in America. I'm guilty of it myself.
We are still far from a brotherhood/democracy of nations. But, in my view, the surest way to ever have a world government we can all agree on is to grow closer as people, not as governments.
"Because it feels like America already does it, we should allow the UN to do it."
That doesn't sound logical.
Or are you looking for a system of checks and balances to prevent America from doing it? If so, how would you keep America's economic and military power in check in a UN with teeth? How do you make America listen to laws? Through threat of war? Through threat of economic sanctions? All these options have the potential to escalate to world crises if, for example, you have another "George W. Bush"-type in power again.
It is bearable to acquiesce to countries which share a similar culture. The western world (and America especially) demands that the whole of the world conform to their values right away. Such cultural conflicts often lead to wars and other terrible things.
I am not sure how a UN with teeth would even anything out. Surely you see that, in a democratic forum, there are still more powerful members and no doubt the most economically successful countries will bear the most power.
I am sorry that I exhibit such American qualities. I had no idea I was being rude or insulting. Please forgive me.
I think the main problem is the disproportionate power the five main nations in the UN have. It should be set up far more like the American House of Representatives where each country gets a proportional vote based on some statistic or mix of statistics.
That's debateable. A UN with teeth would basically be a world government instead of a world forum. I don't think it's bearable for most countries to have laws primarily influenced by the values of other countries.
Cariolis Effect, I believe, should have no effect on the movement of cars around a track unless the track is very big, as in spanning a large ways north and south (hundreds of miles) and the cars are floating above the track or something. As Cariolis Effect explains the motion of something like clouds traveling southward on the greath sphere that is the Earth (link).
Contrary to popular belief and that hilarious episode of the Simpsons water doesn't necessarily flush in a different direction on the southern hemisphere:P There is no "natural" tendency of rotation on the different hemispheres. Or, now, am I missing something even further about the Cariolis effect? I could be. I'm terrible at the sciences.
Not if they come up such creative variations on the word viagra as "v.iagra","va265gra". And let's not forget "viaqra", Viagra's evil twin and ultimate nemesis in the drug marketplace. It is ten time more potent, but twenty five times more evil.

Zing!
Linux's system restore wins!
But did your computer come back up?
Can you think of a *better* way of creating electronic music? :P
I'm sticking to my devil noise music, thankyouverymuch!
Even if it's approximated through granular synthesis on my home computer? :P
Hey, do aging rockers remember when people older than them told them that Rock n' Roll was just noise and was sinful?
WTF. The violin is by no means obsolete.
The violin is one of the awesomest insturments ever. It will be a sad day when it is obsolete.
Sometimes a significant refinement is a greater achievement than the original invention.

Maybe it's MI6? How many MI's are there?
I am confused.

Would your argument for it, then, look like this?

Only if the statistic is population and (probably in the future) economic power.

From what I understand, it is currently in a basement somewhere, no?
If you read the article, it appears to be for lack of trying on Fantanova's part. She didn't make it widely known enough that she had one, it says.
In fact, from what I have read, the effect is virtually undetectable except in laboratory conditions with very circular sinks :P
My beliefs about the Corialis force seem to match yours completely, otherwise.

You forgot to include Slashdot as one of those sources.
What if you spray the gas under high pressure from the front to wind it?
Maybe you should talk to the same furniture guys that the builders did...
I have a hard time believing that. I suppose it defies my instincts. Can you point me to some semi-official full explanation, perhaps?
I would like to understand this. I had no idea that direction mattered to centripetal, frictional or gravitational forces. Am I missing something?

You're right. Strangeness is relative. But I am, as always, speaking from my own cultural context. You can take that as a given almost always.
And I wouldn't say it's totally commonplace there. I'm sure some of those games are considered innovative even there.
