I'd just like to point out that almost every musician I know buys monster cables. ~$50 for a 10' 1/4 in. cable with a lifetime warranty is an excellent deal. You'd be a fool not to buy them. Yeah, the $300 platinum coated cables are a joke, but they do make quality reasonably priced equipment too.
The special laws and money reservations get is beyond stupid. I know a few native american's (another stupid term) in my area that get monthly checks for a couple grand.
Fuck. That. Shit.
I could understand the whole sovereign nation within a nation thing if they actually lived the way they did in the 17th century. But they don't. If they want free money and their own set of laws they shouldn't be able to use the technology that the white man gave them. It's not like there's any shortage of wilderness in the US either.
Laws like this only fuel racism, if we are all equal, then why the fuck do we have different laws for different races?
I don't know about you, but I don't feel like carrying around 4 different pocket sized devices everywhere I go.
You don't have to! There's a new technology called leaving it at home.
I don't know about you, but I don't feel the need to carry around a cellphone/ipod/computer/camera everywhere I go.
I don't need to listen to music all the time, and I don't need to be in touch with my friends all the time. I also don't need to take pictures of my friends and I all the time either, because they all look the same. My friends and I at a party. Woohoo.
Kids these days make me sick. Always on their fucking phones yapping away or an ipod in their ears. And I'm only 26.
There is a world out there you know. You're missing it.
If Amtrak and CSX et al improved the track, including engaging in a program of electrification
All trains are electric in the US. I'm guessing it's more efficient to just bring the power plant with you rather than run the electricity through thousands of miles of wire.
Or are you saying it's better to burn coal than diesel? I don't get it.
I was able to do some rating for a while, and I think the results are fairly cool, but it may not produce anything very interesting for a couple reasons.
The first is that there isn't strong enough evolutionary pressure. There are too many people rating with very different opinions of what sounds good. I think it would be much more interesting to create different channels. Classical, jazz, ambient, electronica, whatever. It's still a very broad definition but not so much that our ratings aren't just noise.
Secondly, the algorithms used to generate the music are really important. I couldn't find any information on it, but the way the notes are put together seems fairly random. I think it's important to stick to what we do know sounds good... to an extent. For example, the gene could contain information on which way to move the current note, rather than the specific note. That way you could limit it to 2 or 3 steps and lay it over a scale or mode. The willy nillyness of it will guarantee that we pick 'safe' consonant sounding harmonies. 5ths and 4ths with beep boop melodies.
Very interesting though, I can't wait to see what happens with this.
That's my point, metric's usefulness is the math part. The prefixes could be called anything, they could be iimeter, imeter, meter, Imeter, IImeter, etc.
That part you still have to memorize just like 5280ft in a mile.
The point of the metric system is consistent units of 10, not the naming conventions. They prefixes are basically as arbitrary as 12 in = 1 foot, as no one speaks latin anymore.
I used to run a WoW guild. Everyone in the guild was between 20 and 40. Or so we thought. Our kickass bear tank that we had for months, revealed that he was 13. We hadn't heard him on vent, so we were just dumbfounded. Very polite, mature, organised, and punctual. Guess what?
He was home schooled. One of the best youngsters I've met TBH.
I was thinking about getting a Wii. Are all the games really like the ones I see every once and a while on TV? Blocky, bright, childish looking? Or are there any decent games out there?
These days it is very cheap to record or synthesize music in your home. All you need is a desktop computer, nice monitors and some nice mics.
By FAR the hardest and most expensive part of being successful is the publicity end. The little guys need all the help they can get in that department, and giving away music for free is probably the easiest/cheapest way to do that
IAAM and I gladly put my music up for free and seed my own torrents. It's the cheapest way to a sale with zero effort.

It's an elaborate ploy by Microsoft to show the masses how evil Linux is?

I should see his reaction eh? Cool this will be intense!
Oh, he just shakes his head. Ok...

Seriously, the guy killed a bunch of people, that's not terrorism ITS_KILLING_PEOPLE. He wasn't trying to scare, he was trying to kill.
NOT EVERY CRIME IS FUCKING TERRORISM!!!
I just meant czar is an inappropriate name...

Exactly.
With the costs of software, camera's, his time, and the extras time, this is easily over $5,000.
It's like saying The Beatles recorded Let it Be for $0 because they owned Apple and everything was done on an advance.

Great point. Interesting story I have to add.

Shorting the caps with a screwdriver is sufficient. CRT's are only dangerous if you don't know what a fucking cap does.
Right on, half of their torrents are dead anyway.
Your idea is retarded and will never work.
LeTS JuST GIvE iT aWAY FoR FREE!!! LOLOLOLO!!! THATS THE ANSWER!!
Thanks, I've got some google fodder now :D

vibronic modes in the nano-structure
I can totally, like, dig that man.
I was going to post something similar.
Let's try to find a more realistic number.
According to this site http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm only about 25% of the people in the world have internet access.
We'll pretend everyone gets 8 hours of sleep and uses the internet 50% of the time when they are awake.
8/24 = 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6 * 1,700,000,000 = 284,000,000 / 10,000,000 = 28.4
So about 29 people per sever at any given time.
(Realistically I think this number would be much lower, probably more like 5-10)
Well then I'm not getting one.
More feel-good lefty lunacy from la-la land.
You just rendered everything written after that meaningless.
