To be fair, 3.5 fixed a lot of problems with 3rd edition, and is essentially a few rules tweaking with some major class overhaul. 3 and 3.5 are compatible with each other, for the most part. IIRC, the only books that were republished for 3.5 were the PHB, DMG, and MM. None of the supplment books released for 3.0 were reprinted.
And that makes sense. If you make a lot of changes to the core books then running the changes in the new print cycle is a good idea.
No only that, but you can't really say that people have a right to possess any tangible finite item. You have the right to bear arms, but you don't have the right to arms. It's why I don't think water or food can be a right. Sure, they're a human necessity but if you are ever at a point where there is simply not enough food who loses the right?
For something to be a right it has to be something which is always protected and not something that is conditionally protected.
That's sort of the problem with organic vs other vegetables.
If you grab a local grown organic tomato and then grab a tomato out of a supermarket the local grown is going to taste better because it was picked when it was ripe rather than before it was ripe like with most store bought tomatoes. You really can't compare two tomatoes that were picked at different stages of growth and it's more than dishonest to compare different states to prop up one method of growing a tomato.
Century, perhaps. I'm not going to bother looking for them. 64th and 128th notes ARE rare but they can be used. I was responding to someone talking about creating a database of all possible song combinations and publishing it to prevent further copyright. I was just attempting to illustrate the sheer number of combinations and not number of good combinations. And I was illustrating just one type of note using one octave for one instrument. I ignored sharps, flats, multiple instruments, lyrics, multiple octaves, and I'm likely missing other things as well. Whether or not 64th and 128th notes are used is really a drop of water in the bucket as far as variables go. You have to figure out if creating all songs can be achieved faster via brute force testing against the rules of what makes a "good" song or only creating all songs that fit the rules. Either way, you'll likely die before you program finishes creating all possible songs.
Double whole notes aren't often listed in their regular notation but rather use a bridge for a series of whole notes and such notation is used for long sustained notes if the sheet music doesn't indicate that the note is to be held as long as possible before the next measure can start.
There is a finite number but it's a very large finite number that is is intrinsically dependent on the length of the song. Long songs means more and more combinations.
Each octave has 8 pitches (ignoring flats and sharps) and there are at least 10 durations (4x whole, 2x whole, whole, 1/2 whole, 1/4 whole, 1/8 whole, 1/16 whole, 1/32 whole, 1/64 whole, 1/128 whole) for any give note, though you can bridge notes together for a single note. In addition to that you can consider that there's a 9th "pitch" which is no sound. There are a very large number of combinations for just a single measure (8 note lengths, 9 note types). Using only quarter notes and rests you have 9^4 (6561) combinations for a single measure for a single octave. Push it out to 3 measures and its 9^12 combinations for that octave.
Let's say you have a 3 minute song at 120 beats per minute (that's probably pretty average for most MAFIAA stuff). Using 4 beat measures you would have 90 measures. One octave, one instrument and you're at 9^90 (7.6x10^85) combinations of quarter notes/rests. That's for a very bland song.
I have a printer driver that doesn't play nice with Firefox. The printer can't properly recognize the fonts used by Firefox so it prints out garbage characters. Now if I tell the printer to download the fonts rather than using embedded fonts it works just fine. Everyone would call the garbage characters Chinese.
are almost always perpetrated by top management?;)
Your assumption is pretty off base. I think if you dug into it you would find that most accounting practices that causes problems aren't intentional and certainly aren't caused by upper management. As a company grows larger and consequently more complex, things will pop up in the books that would get the Feds to sock you even if it wasn't malicious.
My company, which primarily does manufacturing, had a situation recently made aware to me. We do perform internal fabrication for some of our final product so you have Parts + Labor going into that fab job. As an example we would be sending in $100 worth of labor and $1000 worth of parts and ending up with a final product worth $1250 instead of $1100. Chances are that everyone involved in the fabrication process weren't properly trained on how to move the material through our system and luckily we aren't required to follow SOX but that is a prime example of the kind of innocent crap that is going to get you screwed over. The malicious stuff, surprisingly, is less likely to be caught because the perpetrators of it are going to try to cover their asses on it. The innocent stuff is innocent so it's more likely to be left in the open.
I imagine they were smart enough to not use that as an excuse. If they had, that means that Iran attacked a drone with an EM attack while it was in Afghan air space.

I love most of the Shadowrun 4th edition ruleset.
It fits in with the slashdot narrative.

Of course, the entire faith is built around entirely giving in to our animalistic urges.

Beethoven used 128th notes in Piano Sonata No 9.
Humanity isn't ready for the responsibilities that come with being a SPECTRE.
Right. The average user.
9^360 combinations, god damnit.
I may have had my math wrong.... and wildly understimated the total combinations of quarter notes.
90 measures = 360 quarter notes
A 90 measure song would have 9^390 combinations for a single octave.

That depends on if you're a vault dweller.
So many experiments. So it's a good thing that Fallout is still just a game if you're going to be a vault dweller.
Narrow minded. Open a wormhole into a star and use the wormhole as a weapon. Sure, it might incinerate the planet but that's the risk you run.

Can we turn this into a competitive sport? Please?
