    Yes, because what we really need in the world, right now, is another superpower with massive stockpiles of Nuclear Arms to become destabilized.

  17. Absurd on Provider of Free Public Domain Music Shuts Down · · Score: 0

    While there is much math in music, this is one time 1/4 + 1/4 != 1/2

    As both a Pianist and a Drummer, I find it ridiculous for you to attempt the explanation that two quarter-notes and one half-note can, even for the sake of argument, be considered to be equal.
    It has been a while since we've had a wind instrument in our jam session, but maybe your thought would hold true for them. Then again, how many flute solos do you hear in modern music?
    As far as I can tell, the great-grand-pappy was talking about the number of notes, not beats (since it does, quite clearly, state "12 sequence notes" and never mentions a time frame). I'm simply implying the estimate was too small, by many degrees.


    Hell, if you push me hard enough, I may ask for the relative volume of each note to be taken into consideration in your accounting (though, by now you're just adding to infinity).

  18. Re:Condoning privacy? on Canada May Tax Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 0

    Piracy in Canada is like torture in the US: legally, it doesn't exist (and even if it did, it still isn't happening).

    Does that mean the government still has it?
    No wonder they're all for making the money-pile grow a little faster.

  20. You forgot... on Provider of Free Public Domain Music Shuts Down · · Score: 0

    ...you're talking about music!
    ~7e15 possible combinations for just the notes themselves...but what about rests, and rest/note lengths?
    I don't want to even try the math on that one at this time in the morning, but I'm sure it's huge.

    Besides which, you could just specify that the notes are off by a certain small frequency, so that it isn't truly an A# or B, but that it is actually a note without a name somewhere in between.

  22. Re:Proof of vote? on eBay The Vote · · Score: 0

    I would assume they have to take a picture of themselves in the voting booth *with the right choice selected*, before they actually receive money. Wouldn't be hard at all, and last time I checked, there's nothing illegal about having your (camera) phone on you when you vote.

  23. Re:Receiptless Voting on eBay The Vote · · Score: 0

    Haven't you been following the e-voting fiasco? One of the problems was the ability to match up when the votes were cast with when people signed in to vote.
    It isn't hard to put the information together and get a relatively accurate list of who voted what. Even better if you add what political party they are signed with to the mix.

    Most of the content is hosted on sites that I assume the MAFIAA-like organizations would have trouble going after.
