I figure the new focus on something besides recordings applies to megastars as well. Are you saying that without big label dominance, there wouldn't _be_ megastars? Also, it seems recordings would still exist, just not as the focus of the business model. People would still be making songs to use on tour - somebody might as well put out recordings of them.
I know it's a bash.org reference, but if I copy/paste an obscured password, I end up with the stars/dots instead of the actual password "confirm password" fields don't recognize it as the same
I am able to keep it professional when it's time to be professional (note this sibling post: http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2625478&cid=38730836), but yeah, smart spirited females are actually more attractive to me than some anti-feminist ideal. I remember being turned off by a past girlfriend that was/is a bit of a dolt.
maybe those professional women have to fight extra-hard to stay at the same level?
also, when angry, males often seem to fight it out and them calm down, whereas females seem more likely to hold long term emotional grudges (some imperfect observations based on personal experience as opposed to professional interaction)
just flipping things around? that's what I fear about various activism for the disadvantaged. I wonder if/when there's any truth to it. likely true for some members of the group but not others. also, some well-meaning people think of that as a "see how it feels?" teaching tool, but that often annoys me
so hard to continuously adjust things so they balance out
I was in a criminology class that got a visit from a female correctional officer (was a classmate's mother) I asked her how she felt working in a male prison, she said it avoided machismo "something to prove" conflicts like sometimes happens versus a male guard.
I agree with the general concept that males and females have different characteristics that make them better suited to different things. The law enforcement mention was an interesting example of how that can show up even within the same occupation. However, one must be careful to not blow it out of proportion and be accepting of the cases that differ from the norm.
I have heard the thing about birth control changing womens' taste in men. Some males may adjust their behavior to what women are looking for (makes sense, right). I wonder if it's healthy to have all those girlie men around
parliamentary privilege/immunity legally protects legislature members for what they do in the course of their official duties. That would probably be a shield even if copyright on the speeches was an issue.
The US version (Constitution Article 1, Section 6, Clause 1) [Members of Congress] shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
The media, at least in the US, has a habit of presenting equal sides when that isn't the case. a weak, disingenuous neutrality it can't be helping this situation.
Yeah, since I started using Adblock Plus, I stopped being bombarded with infections - scans (AdAware, Spybot) turned up less and less, to the point where I ran them less and less.
yeah, that's what I thought - good to see people actually get punished for trying to abuse the legal system. RIAA/MPAA shenanigans are but one example.
Considering Milgram and other such experiments on authority, it does make sense to place more blame on the higher-ups. Nuremberg says that following orders is not an excuse, but note that those on trial at Nuremberg were some of the highest-ranking Nazis. Also, the SS was declared a criminal organization, but Waffen-SS draftees were excluded from that classification. (Yes, a Godwin, but an on-topic one)
Maybe you can't blame everybody who believes propaganda, but you can blame those who have it made. (whether pro-war propaganda in general or propaganda in favor of a particular war)
PS What would you say about conscription resistance?
look at a completed Sudoku puzzle and figure out the the minimum clues needed to make the puzzle solvable in one particular way.
17-clue puzzles have been observed (although not all the time). 16-clue puzzles haven't, and he came up with theoretical backing for that. Science!
brute-forcing would take too long, so they modified a piece of open source software to check possibilities in less time. (they still had to use a supercomputer) they can eliminate setups that are identical for the purposes of this analysis.
The "Hitting Set Problem" isn't just an issue in Sudoku
Both the green party and the left party now have stances on copyright that are very similar to the ones that the pirate party have propagated.
sounds like a fairly common minor party dynamic - even if not directly successful, a strong presence leads larger parties to adjust their positions accordingly.
Hate the politicians for playing war, don't hate the soldiers who are required to fight them....
That seems to be a key debate amongst antiwar activists - whether the average soldier is a victim or a perpetrator. Maybe it depends on the particular person involved - their reasons for going in and how they act once in service
The advisor for my intro to programming project promptly nixed C++ and went with Python A teacher who had worked with Fortran in the 70's said this: "Automatic memory management? You lucky bastard." Moreover, Python has a fairly straightforward syntax without being _just_ a teaching language

The trouble with profiling, even in a practical sense, is that bad guys could dodge suspicion by avoiding the profile characteristics

political correctness about this?
to me, a need for majority support kinda seems to follow from the very definition of majority
it sucks when you get brushed off for trying to help, majority/minority relations or not

This puzzle has only 17, but that's enough clues for me...
