Of course, classical music would weight more then, say, acoustic folk...
The decline in "mass marketing" music is, I hope, just another indicator of a movement I call (since I haven't seen another term yet) relativity. In small, even unconscious steps, people are beginning to choose again, and in their choices are beginning to reject the mass-market manufactured identities. Not overtly, aside from some there are some granola/vegan-types, but just from personal inclination.
Consider beer (a good example for the slashdot crowd). The big breweries (Bud/Miller/etc) sales flatlined and are slipping downward, because a small (if growing) segment of the market would rather drink a decent microbrew. Oh, and mass-market beer typically tastes like watered down horse piss--but I digress.
Similarly, a small (perhaps growing) segment of the music audience has decided that it would rather listen to ____ (I need a term for the Anti-Britany Spears [Anti-BS?] music). Oh, and mass-market music continues to churn out the audio equivalent of watered down horse piss.
So go to a locally owned clothing store instead of walmart. Download a local band's MP3 instead of buying a CD. Go to a real restaurant, instead of the latest franchised food chain. And do these things simply because you like them, because the choice(s) are relative to what you enjoy, rather than because you are dedicated to an anti-big business "cause." That is a marketing paradigm shift in the making.
Americans appear to be choosing quality over pre-fabricated identity. If so, maybe we aren't dead yet...
I hare received your name from diplomatic friend as someone of discretion who is good. I have a formula to determine the roots of any polynomial equation that was given to me by Nigerian General Chinue Achebe. Unfortunately, I cannot get this out of country in its current form. Can you give me digits of your checking account, to which I can apply this formula. In exchange, I will give you all digits to the right of the decimal point.
Besides, there is already an odometer in the car! Why can't they simply read the number as a part of an annual inspection, and assess accordingly? The laws, and the detection expertice, are already in place for odometer tampering. Why is this a moment of gadget-lust?
Which is really, really weird when you get this answer back from Dynamism... -- Hi,
Thank you for contacting us. The GT3 has been discontinued, but Sony has released an updated model called the U101 - http://www.dynamism.com/u101/main.shtml. Although the U101 does not have the camera of the GT3 (which was only 640x480), the U101 has a considerably faster processor, higher quality display, lighter weight, and smaller form factor. When the GT3 was released, it was designed as a prototype. After a few model updates, the Sony U101 is the final result.
We will have the Sony U101 available in about 3 weeks. We are currently taking pre-orders that will secure your place in line. To place an order, please give us a call at 800.711.6277. Another option is to reply back with the following info:
CC# and exp date............: Billing Address: Phone..........: FAX............: Orde r:
Please include what items you would like to add to your order. We will then fax an invoice for you to sign. Just curious, how did you hear about Dynamism? Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Now if only Red Hat could afford the caliber of Senator that the RIAA does, then they could start attacking the systems of the infringers--purely in defense of their trademark, of course...
Slashdot Mirror
"Last one left"?? Just how do you apply linear temporal references to a species that supposedly lives beyond the boundaries of time?
Hmmm, now, where's my propellor-head beanie..
Here's a bit of life foo I've stumbled upon: People are who they are at age 15 (+/- 2 yrs: YMMV). The rest is just hair growth and gravity.
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Me! Ooh!

Speaking of which, what ever happened to WebTV?

Yea, cool, and then Tom Petty can record an MTV Video with it...
