Sweet! There certainly is a buzz around this technology, but I'll beelieve it when a beowulf cluster of linux-running overlords, with questionable Vista support, is welcomed by, for one, me in Soviet Russia.
It's that college kids don't have money anyway. They can't afford to buy your music either one way or the other. The best way to make money off these kids is to leave them alone... because they may become fans. Once these kids graduate, they'll have the money to support the artists they love.
It's all OK though, because the college kids will graduate and they'll enter the upper tiers of the socioeconomic ladder. The kids have all grown up hating and fearing you, so good luck extracting dollars from their soon-to-be-lined pockets. You've dug your own ditch, and now get ready to lie in it.
But please, to every other artist that wants to go the Radiohead distribution route, please provide lossless files for a small fee to cover bandwidth. The shitty MP3's could be for an optional payment.
I would never pay for lossy files. I'd pay a full album price ($12-$15) for lossless downloads in a heartbeat.
I haven't found a music forum with activity even close to that of Hoffman's.
The discs he's mastered are great. His "Breath of Life" approach is, to pardon the pun, a breath of fresh air for those born after the age of vinyl. His painstaking approach results in very natural recordings. No fucking around with the tapes, just getting the best, "purest" source, and using it. A great example would be the DCC (Gold Disc) version of The Beach Boy's Pet Sounds. That'll set you back over $100 on eBay. Head-Fi's second podcast has a great interview with him.
I hope the resurgence of vinyl is a sign that ending, the loudness wars, are.
Yea, I heard that Gutsy had that feature, so I was very excited to upgrade to it, but it's a broken feature on my rig. *shrug*
With some mucking around in the xorg.conf, I can get as far as having both screens recognized, separately, with two desktops... but it's not treated as one large desktop like other OSes. There are solutions like bigdesktop and xinerama, but they just fuck with my display settings, leaving me with either a broken xorg.conf or garbled graphical elements. It sucks a lot.
Two words why I absolutely cannot work with Ubuntu

Dual Screen.
Yeah, yeah... I know there are dual screen solutions for Linux, but none of them work correctly! Either my cursor will become garbled up, or the system will simply crash on reboot. Just an all around pain. Automatic, simple multiple display support would do wonders for Linux, IMHO.

What do they gain from this? Last I checked, they produced no media, just conveyed it.
Fuck every single one of you.
Brian Roberts?
Or is this "robot" not really very, well, good at anything? The description sounds like only a notch above children's toys today.
Could someone explain what's so story-worthy about this bot?
Botnets and I cannot lie... :)

No, he means punishment. He means a deterrent for other would-be criminals.
I don't know why you're modded up at all.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Oh man your mom is so hot!

Drawing the penis on? Is that like "pin the penis on the goatse"?

I'd surely use a free, disposable email account.
Why didn't the person just go the Anonymous Coward route?
...that provide storage sizes in units easy to relate with, namely pirated media.
I really wonder if Verizon could offer, say, 25/25 for the same price, but chose 20/20 because it's a "better" name.
I mean, what are the chances that the cost effectiveness sweet spot just so happens to be 20mbps up and 20mbps down?

Because futuristic elevators are going to be really awkward.
Where it was a bunch of pictures of a horse running? Yeah, that was the best fucking film of all time. It's just been downhill from there.
