Hell, lets just have a 'booth post' where everyone goes in and adds something like 'Joe licks you ass' Or 'Vice gore drinks piss for fun' or something obscenly brilliant like in aamco stalls.

All the overprotective parents in indy might think this is great for their kids, but we are forgetting about what the guys who WORK there have to do. Get a telletubbies game? This is absurd. I live in indianapolis and there are TONS of arcade joints around...this bill is going to kill the income of these guys and alot of people are going to loose their jobs. Parental supervision? What good is that going to do? If I see a guy get shot in the shoulder, is that any better then when mom is over my shoulder? We've had a history of making dumb laws (dumblaws.com) and actually enforcing them, but this is too much. -Swift::
You wont find it on the site because a group of deaf walrus's wispered it to me telepathically. They also mentioned that you can buy NIC's that are complete hoaxes! Gotta be like SETI.... -Swift::
about the first 30 posts i saw were people ranting about how useless this is. Isn't this great? I mean...When cars started coming around, they really sucked...they were loud, slow, uncomfortable, and dangerous. Now...you can get a benz and be respected by a total stranger. Its the same with the watch.
It doesnt even have to mean that the watch itself is one day going to evolve into a desktop...But it could bring much better things...A tracking system...A pulse monitor...It could hold all your genetic information as means of identification...And it could all be configurable through a linux 'clock' shell! We cant expect things like this to just magically appear...It's not a movie...It's real life, and things have to evolve to a posistion where it is respected by society.
I am an artist on mp3.com and I can fill all ya guys in on how the mp3.com artist royalty program works:
1.) First off, there is no real record label...Mp3.com has us click an icon that says they can produce the music and we can recieve revenue from it...and they have a 90 day extension to keep using it if we ask for removal. This is heaven compared to some other rope binding contracts bigtime artists sign to.
2.)Albums can be priced from 5.99 to 15.99 (I think)...But almost all artists price from 5.99-8.00...unless its a charity album...then its more expensive. Artists recieve 50% of sales.
3.)The 1 million dollar jackpot is not from album sales, though you are close...It is from the payback for playback program. Simply, artists get money for downloads on our songs. The gearwork as to how much we get paid per day can sometimes be fishy...But mp3.com has yet to deprive me of any of my trust towards them.
All the clubs ive been to in indianapolis and the surrounding areas use music from mp3.com. Why? Because you are free to reproduce it...The GPL of music...All artists promote this anyway....We are all indie artists and there is no such thing as negative publicity, as they say;)
mp3.com is a great place to look toward for quality music, free of genre descrimination. The best artists i know are all on mp3.com...Dr Mario...TBOL...(Physics Of A Squall, of course, me!)...If you guys want to boycott the RIAA, don't stop listening to music...
In several interviews with Richard D. James, Creator of Aphex Twin, He points out that he 'only used to sleep just to get ideas for tracks'...I took that another way...sit in bed as long as possible and try not to sleep (or get loaded on a certain substance) and then just THINK...my bed is a shrine of relaxation to me and i sleep to get ideas for programming code. As mentioned many times, its better to write code and have it have to be revised manytimes then to have to revise a blank screen;) -Swift::
Ok, this plan sounds great....Except they arn't considering all the alternative thoughts...Napster has established a voice in mainstream media and if they say that this is bad then hell, nobody is going to cooperate...I know if this surfaced that slashdot and other geek fortresses would set up instant boycotting....And rightfully so.
But just for note,
Who the fuck is going to spend their time sending spam to get _brittney_spears_ tickets? Arg. -Swift::
This looks pretty nifty...Has this been mentioned on slashdot? I was just looking through freshmeat and saw all the juicy news grabbing/first posting/other paraphanalonia applications...This could make out for a nice story. -Swift::
I'd have to agree with you...Though if i were to read the script i'd be alot more impressed with the potential then what actually got put on my screen in the end...It seems as though it had some great jokes and parts...but the fact that it
1.)Looks horrible streaming 2.)has horrible video/audio sync's 3.)has sometimes redundant jokes (Yes, 'Whoaaa' and 'kicks ass' CAN get old after the first 20 times)
makes it unbarable at times to watch. I know 1 and 2 are not the movies responsibility, but its degrading anywho. My tip to any future movies produced by abe would be to just try and be more varied with the jokes and screenplay, and like mentioned previously, not as long. (was where they held morpheus the same place as the work office? Maybe im being anal)...Im excited about his future work, and look forward to spending my time watching it instead of doing real work.
Mmm...I gave that parody of the movie 'battlefield', called 'battlefield earth' 4 thumbs up. John, keep up the hallarious work (and those kiss platforms looks VERY good.) -Swift::
The X system indeed is out performing any other gaming console at this point...But it's not even on the market...By the time it does get on, theres a chance that it could be out played. The hype is getting amplified by facts that cant be applied to something that I cant use. When I buy a console, I want something that will be easily upgradable; More ram/cpu's...Make gaming consoles more like computers, minus the need to maintain gaming console like a computer, and youve got a good looking piece of equipment, IMHO.
I'm defending every person the origional post mentioned...I guess thats my fault. Oh..so a low count makes me a newbie, Eh? It's good to know that superiority comes in bottles of who became an elite slashdotter first. Thats alright...anyone who wants to be mad @ me over what I said can do that...anyone who appriciates me backing myself and others up...thats fine too. If you choose to stereotype an entire country based on personal account, then In the whole scheme of things, the defination of 'newbie' is obscured by reality.
And look how cunning and intilligent this proper gentlemen from the big island is! Not only does he properly state his reasoning but he gives clear, smartly though through comments like mentioned above! I had once assumed that all members of the english masses were beeming with redeemable qualties, but exceptions to every rule are just bhudda's way of keepin' it real.
Lets all have a round of applause for this british man in the 3rd row, brown hair!
Ok, just a notice to the Slashdot admins...If anyone takes away my account because im 7 1/2, someone is going to get their anus haX0red. SwiftBob:-:mp3.com/PhysicsOfASquall -Swift::
I'd rather be over here where our overweight (FED), loudmouthed (yes, were ALLOWED to be this in our country) dont have to worry about people like you who stereotype an entire nation based on some poor experience of a proper english gentlemen...Ok! My turn to stereotype! Uhm...let see here...recall important events of the english existance: 1.)Black plauge (reassuring you are unclean) 2.)Seperation of the american colonies (oh, us loudmouthed, overweight countrymen beat the guys in the red coats!)
I'd rather be overweight and free then a Proper slave.
