Why do we constantly need a remake of everything? Battlestar Galactica is about the only good remake to come in a long line of them.
I can see maybe another series LIKE the Prisoner, but not a complete remake of the series. The series is a classic. The way it uses music, and of course the mannerisms of No. 6.....
After researching this for a project I just completed, you do need to compensate the copyright owners. Techincally, when you create a Midi of a song, and put it out on the net, it qualifies as a performance, which the copyright holders are entitled to get $.08 cents a song for.
Of course, chord changes to a song do not count. Anything that has the MELODY. So, you could make a Midi of everything except the melody, and put that out there. I don't believe that is a problem. The copyright issue is when you associate a chord progression with a melody. That is a song.
Yeah, I'd agree mostly with what you say. The Brass samples are good except for the trumpet sounds. I like the trombones and tuba.
I think GPO gets a lot of press because it's easy to use. Finale now comes with a version. However, the system requirements for GPO are insane. I can't get more than 5 or 6 samples playing on my 2.5 Gigahertz Athlon. And that is when it's being slaved from my Mac.
EastWest has a great samples as well. Of course, Native Instruments has some excellents sounds as well.
No no. This simply can not be. The Oil companies, with their record profits, are developing this type of thing. If they haven't come up with it, then it simply does not exist.
Oh please. You are a moron. We were at WAR, and the alternative was 500,000+ dead on both sides with a LAND invasion. Go beef up on your history.
If the US has not used atomic weapons since. We could have used them a number of times, but we have chosen other ways to fight wars.
But I stick by my statement. The threat now is not that a country would use an atomic weapon, but some sort of radical group, which is hard to pin down where they are out of, would be the likely culprit. Any country that uses a nuclear weapon would face total destruction by other countries.
You know, that is a great point. And a great comparison to what is going on in this "battle". Who would want UPS, FedEx, USPS all to have a different address for the same place?
Right, which is exactly WHY we sould not give it to the EU. Did you read the post that you replied to? Or did your frenchie hands getting a little excited at the prospect of stealing something from the US now that your oil for food scam has been found out?
So you propose that the EU is better suited to run it? HA!
You are right, it is completely SUBJECTIVE. When you can prove that the US is inept at running the internet (IE: the domain servers getting massively messed up or something), then you can resubmit your claim that we can't run it.
Till then, STFU. The EU trying to take control is purely political right now, and it would cause nothing but problems.
Prove your points or STFU. What is worse some naked pictures of people in prison (done by a handful of soldiers), or beheading civilians on TV?
The US is not perfect, but we don't behead people, nor blow up crowds of people. What would you propose we do, bury our heads in the sand and pretend that there are some insane people in the Middle East who want to bring terror to the states. Do you want something like Israel going on in the States?
No, that is why you take the fight to the enemy.
WMD are not going to be used by a country against another country. It would have happened in the 60's. What the real threat now is the technology and materials being available to radical groups to build their own bombs, or these groups getting a working bomb from a nuclear country.
Take your leftist, black and white view outta here.
Well put. The US should NOT give it to the EU. The internet has been working a long time the way it is (with the US in charge), why change horses mid-stream?
Oh, STFU. The US created the internet. The EU and others jumped on later. Now they want to control it. Typical. We should have only allowed english on the net, ensuring that people could actually use it to communicate.
And the last time I went to a non-US web site was.....um..........can't remember. Perhaps it was when a pop-up on my Microsoft Windows XP system using IE took me to some porn site.
Seriously, if they want to run their own net, good luck to them. I personally look forward to the lack of spam I'll be getting from all those.cx,.br,.fr domains....
STFU. We basically have created and run the internet for over a decade. EU can go build it's own. EU running the internet is like Saddam inspecting his own country for Nuclear weapons, or North Korea actually taking care of it's people. Both are total fantasies, and the EU running the internet better than the US is one of those.

Strange, you'd think the Republicians would have been the ones to oppose it. Things are very strange around the world now....
Yeah, seriously........only sex here is solo sex.

You forgot HillaryClinton.xxx, and MonicaLewinsky.xxx ;-)
Totally agree. Keep things as they are, with the US not the EU running the nameservers.
Actually, what we should do is give a tax incentive or something to get people to vote. $100 off your taxes or something. Some sort of incentive.
Is this going to cut down on the number of duplicate stories on Slashdot?
Oh please. Have you perhaps thought that maybe it's a developer's license? To maybe make sure that all those iPod gadgets work on the iPod?
Cut back on the Kool-Aid dude
Why can't someone, who owns a DVD of a movie, use Quicktime or something, and rip and encode a version for their iPod? Seems like a FAIR USE to me.
Sure Microsoft isn't behind this?
Al Gore created the net. Didn't he? Should he sue the EU or something?
Seriously, if they want to run their own net, good luck to them. I personally look forward to the lack of spam I'll be getting from all those .cx, .br, .fr domains....
Insane. Europeans just don't get it. The net is working just fine now. Keep your grubby French hands off it.
Why can't people come up with NEW ideas? Geeze, we have remakes of Psycho, the Fog, etc, etc. Nothing new. Nada. Oh, except maybe Serenity........
