1) And where do I buy the sheet music for non-mainstream bands? Silly Wizard, Marillion, Fates Warning? OR in the case of Anthologies, what if the song I want to learn wasn't deemed good enough to go in the book?
2) Yeah...it is poor. But it's a start. Many tab books are poor too.
3) no counter for that. I remember in alt.guitar.tab years ago when someone just flat-out scanned parts of a tab book. There was disgust and anger at that person over it. I guess as a slight counter is that this is not a straigh copyright violation. It's no more than you as a teacher showing someone that Louie Louie goes G C D C.
On the other hand, picking up bass lately has done me a world of good. I don't really care what the as-played bass line was, unless it's something pretty noticable. I get the chords from the guitarists and just go with it on my own...it has done me a world of good in music understanding. When playing guitar I was too concerned with playing what the tab said and not learning the music.
I remember when we got version 3.1 of the Turbo C++ for Windows in (I think that was it). It came on 1 CD, about 10 HD 3.5" floppies, or about 60 standard 5.25 floppies.
And at the time we made backups of all the disks and worked from those. Ugh.
Used to do that. One of the late night sessions ended up with a misread of Elven cloaks and boots as ELEVEN cloaks and boots. Kept finding that as treasure. At one point my character had like 88 cloaks and boots (yeah...to hell with the encumberance rules)
The exact opposite effect can be seen in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when Lancelot comes to rescue Prince Herbert. Due to the very wide field of view, you can see him coming for quite a few of the camera shots leading up to his surprise attack on the guards. It really ruined the effect for me and killed most of the suspense that had been building up.
I would be more likely to use it as it now sounds like I can possibly have it close to how I want it configured, with UnionFS, I don't have to lose my changes, and it's chocked full of tools so I can just have one Knoppix DVD instead of a couple of specific variation knoppix CD's.
I agree the review is of the "ohh...shiny" sort, but at the same time being able to carry one DVD and boot to a known (and fully equipped) environment is a nice thing. (assumming where you go has a DVD drive!)
BT was designed (IIRC) to help distribute large (Linux) iso's. I just looked at the official BT page and there is really nothing there endorsing anything - it's more of a "hey...look at the geeky cool thing I made" page.
However, if you look in the FAQ, it points to two places for content to download:
The first one looks to be bootlegs of bands that allow bootlegging. The second, is a more of an all-things-BT clearninghouse, with links to more questionable sites among legit items.
So, how much infringing encouragement does BT have? What if I made my own client and billed it as the best video store next to Blockbuster? Is just that client liable, or is BT as a whole now advertising infringing uses?
I have a feeling that this won't be the last that SCOTUS will hear of this case.
What I remember about Showbiz and Chuck E. Cheeses was the video games. I remember playing Mach3 quite a bit there. Now they are all simple distractions to give out tickets.
Simple way for someone to make money (well...nothing is simple with licensing involved) would be to open up a place that had good food (ie. decent Pizza - somethinc C.E.C is missing) and put in some retro arcade games. The 30-40 market would gobble it up (both the food and the pac-man pellets). Just don't make it more than a quarter to play and you'd be raking money in hand-over-fist.
No need for mortal kombat or the latest soul caliber clone - just some good old fashioned 8 bit games.
Right now would be a perfect time to break out the sit-down star wars game.
Somewhere I have the novelazation of ANH written by Lucas - from a long time ago... Anyway, somewhere in there is a line C-3PO says about how he used to belong to Darth Vader.
Really should dig that out and see just what it said given the events of RotS.
You have so many stations, all the same. Oh sure - they're all pushing the envelope by saying they don't play what everyone else does and have the guts to play what they want - and then play the same old crap.
My fave was the local "rock" station which claimed it doesn't play that old crap like xxx or the weird new stuff like yyy, and then usually the next song would be a mainstay on xxx or yyy.
Anyway, as long as ClearChannel, Infinity, etc... are still in control, and DJ's just play the same 1 or 2 tracks from an album over and over, I'll just stick with my iPod and CD's.
Can't wait for Zeptember, or Rocktober to roll around again;)
A couple weeks ago I purchased a new eyepiece for my telescope. Now, years ago, I would have gone to a local store, most likely the only one around, looked at what they had in stock, made my choice from that and then bought it at their price. Or perhaps I would order out of a magazine based on what I saw in there.
Well, in this case, I was able to research what kind of eyepiece I wanted from pretty much anything made. Once I had more or less decided what I wanted (instead of that being decided by what was in stock) I was then able to start searching around to get the best deal on whoever had that particular item. Who seemed to have a decent business record (more research), who had good shipping deals (more reasearch), who felt like they were a trustworthy business to give my credit card number to, etc...
Once I had decided what I wanted, that was the short part of the purchase. It took much longer to decide who got my business and why. And even though I've bought from that company in the past, chances are my next purchase will involve me going through the same process again.
Somewhere I may still have an activities book my mom got me in the early 80's. IIRC, it was a bunch of sci-fi crosswords, word searches, jumbles, etc... In one of the Star Wars crosswords the clue was something like "total number of movies to be made" and the answer was TWELVE!
I posted that once in a discussion about Fresco or whatever the "from-the-ground-up" replacement for X on windows was.
Got a long flame about how HPUX, AIX and Solaris are all going to go away and Linux was the only thing that matters so other OS compatability didn't matter.
I guess that means that OJ was also a D&D player since he used a knife. They guy that tried to poison the president over in one of the slavic countries probably played an Assassin character and lost the role-playing idea of the game.
Not really with XP - however, you can setup telnet or ssh on the box and connect in that way, with multiple people. XP is designed to be the end user device (think SSH client) and Win2k/2k3 server as being the server - on the server os's (with the right licenses) you can have multiple people connect and run programs at the same time, all seeing their own desktop.
okay...now how do you disconnect that instance of xclock from that Cygwin session, reboot or walk to another terminal and reconnect to it? That's the question.
Kinda like what Screen and VNC do - just need the ability for doing this with one app instead of a whole desktop like NX/VNC do

RTFA - it was set on man trap mode without the second door. A config mistake.
This was obviously aimed for earth and probably originated on Gamilon.
Or perhaps they are being launched by bugs from Klendathu.
After watching those, my stack is much larger now...until I dumped my core.

all work and no play makes homer something something.
And as the parent said, Snoopy could still use this to abuse editors.

Anyone wanna help decide where these should go?

ftp, ssh, scp, http - may as well go for all of those as well...I don't recall reading any "don't steal music" info when I installed it.
I don't recall seeing any of those or the BT going out of their way to say - "hey...this would be nifty for downloading movies" either.
Like you said - they may or not win, but they would drain him first. I hate these vague rulings that are just waiting for case law to set a precedent.

With advocates like that, who needs Microsoft!

Yup...can never fault the people.
Interesting!!! As long as when you shutdown the parent process of the application it doesn't kill the child that could work pretty good.
