  1. Re:The sting in the tail on The Deceptive Perfection of Auto-Tune · · Score: 1

    which is why i don't eat for a few hours before a show.

  2. Re:Authenticity on The Deceptive Perfection of Auto-Tune · · Score: 1

    i really hate the prejudice against synths. the "real music" snobs can fuck right off.

  3. Re:Authenticity on The Deceptive Perfection of Auto-Tune · · Score: 1

    that looks interesting.

    i usually do my own vocals, but i've been waiting for a vocal synth VST to experiment.

  4. Re:Authenticity on The Deceptive Perfection of Auto-Tune · · Score: 1

    thank you for that. everything i do is in software (VST inside Ableton) and i get looks from some "traditional" musicians.

    i started out on the piano like many people in genre.

  6. Re:Holly Crap Fist Post on In Finland, Nokia May Get Its Own Snooping Law · · Score: 1

    And it's passed whether we want it or not. Many of these police and law enforcement entities exist only to justify their existence.

    For example:

    The rising instances of no-knock raids on wrong addresses supplied by informants just seeking a handout from the police. They perform these raids to justify the military-grade hardware they're packing. It's getting out of hand.

    Of course, as in the US, $MultinationalCorp will get its way.

    We're told that we should be lucky that we're even employed. We're told that we should just STFU and GBTW.

    There is no real sense of loyalty to company or vice-versa anymore.

    who knows. comcast gets up to some shady crap.

    from what i understand the 250GB cap still exists even on the business service.

    i'm not. and i'm not here to debate global warming.

    imho, creationism is far more detrimental than global warming.

    at least they're not creationists.

    that's not what i'm bitching about. i won't bitch about something i'm getting for free.

    never mind.

    i do hsi support for comcast, and our e-mail sucks ass.

  21. Re:Nuts on Protection From Online Eviction? · · Score: 1

    but that's the point i was making. the e-mail that people are actually "paying for" with Comcast is terrible. there are constant issues, outages, and that's not including the errors with that accursed "smartzone" migration.

    i doubt that hotmail or yahoo users experience these issues -- maybe more spam, but that's probably it.

  22. Re:Nuts on Protection From Online Eviction? · · Score: 1

    exactly. i don't have a gmail backup. furthermore, i've had mine for almost 5 years now, and the database is *huge* (You are currently using 1773 MB (24%) of your 7280 MB).

    i have made various attempts to pull down the mail into outlook or t-bird, but i keep having to re-initiate the send/receive function as it only grabs 200 - 300 messages at a time.

    not much. the average consumer has jack shit for protection these days.

    more of that "golden rule" crap.

  24. Re:Nuts on Protection From Online Eviction? · · Score: 2, Informative

    i'm with you on that one. hosting and domain registration is cheap as hell these days.

    OTOH, could not the same be said of free e-mail? i say this knowing that for example, Comcast's users have nothing but issues with the e-mail access included in their accounts whereas i have no issues with my free GMail access.
