Why oh why is it simply impossible to give ones opinion without being trolled immediately???
I can find nothing in my post to even suggest that I am trolling. So why?
Okay I know they are putting this on the blacklist, but it isn't like you can't search for it anymore.
It's simply that 'instant' doesn't show it right away.
In my opinion a good thing so that any child misspelling anything (cumeleon --> Chameleon) and stuff like that, doesn't get inappropriate sites right away.
I think it's sort of a good thing.
Does no one here see the possibility of a new Arms Race?
Or even the potential for a new world war?
It still hasn't been established what to do with the moon when it comes to 'ownership'.
Okay I have a patent pending on it, but hey, what are you going to do about it;)
No seriously, if the Chinese want the moon you can bet your ass that the US wants it too.
I have to admit I wasn't too happy with the analogy myself....
You could ask why post it then? Well otherwise I would never have gotten your response and learned from it:)
But I do not entirely agree with your analogy at that. If something is said to be true the opposite or negative or that does not need to true at that. This is not mathematics. I am of course speaking of your 'improved' version of my analogy
Thnks
and one of the things that really bugged me about the examples was that they were clear examples of a programmer. Those sequences or combinations would never be used in real life.
I would rather have seen it show Bach's Prelude in C minor (or whatever) than these random itterations.
I get the fact that he tried to show the possibilities, but still....
Although your points are absolutely valid it still doesn't change anything to the fact that this isn't useful to actual composers! Which was my main point.
I absolutely agree with you that it is a good substitute for people who use notation once every now and again!
Plus inter-program-exchange of midi/notation files has always been a problem. Until a standard for this is conceived no 2 programs will be able to exactly share the same files.
Not only that, MIDI is so common and there are so many free programs out there that it is almost no trouble to download one and read the midi file, except for the fact that they often don't relay the correct info.
This is never going to be useful to actual composers.
You want easy acces to what you are doing and not typing the letters.
Plus can we listen to the notes? Quite important for a composer!
Even Sibelius is sometimes somewhat gloggy and cumbersome and that's one of THE programs out there.
Long way to go? I would say so!
So many different good things are killed off when they get threatening to the commercial sellers. LaLa of course being very cheap compared to Apple's iTunes songs!
I understand the implications for Apple, of course I do, but still a shame.
If you can listen to a song fully before downloading (and paying for) it a lot of people will undoubtedly record them and keep them for themselves, but still.....
Imagine just knocking on someone's door and going
Apple Security, we're here to search the premises and and take with us all the goodies you have lying around *maniacal laughter*
A PR agent finally does what he is supposed to (for once in his life with great succes) and they punish him for it.
Apple's 1997 slogan goes to waste here
Think different?
Yeah right!
Is there anyone here who is a photographer?
Every photog will tell you about the amazing qualities of digital
You can instantly check your work, driving down your time with a model (or whatever you are shooting) thus upping the quality of your pics (models only go so long)
You can check your work and change your settings so you have the shot you need the day after or even sooner.
Think of reporting photogs. If I would call my editor and say to her, well you'll might have a good picure as soon as I can develop it, scan it, photoshop it, print it again and get it to you, hell no that won't be accepted!
Lighting photogs: How good is it to be able to do really new, inovative and interesting stuff without having to worry about whether or not it is going to work out?
Don't get me wrong, I love film, but only because it forces you into specific areas of working, and these areas aren't comfortable anymore for the everyday working photog. Film has become an art form and I love it for it.
Then as a final word Hasselblad of course has amazing lenses and that's why you want to change your hasselblad to a digital blad. A move made before but a good move none the less!

So all I have to do is tilt Mars on its axis and we'll have a second life-suistanable planet?
Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move this world.

I for one are slightly worried about this!
Finally, physics brought in a way I can understand it ;)
And a lot of my work is on Flickr.
Well we'll see.
I don't get it, why am I getting Trolled for this remark. It is the truth...
If it is later for AT&T then it is probably still ages till T-Mobile picks it up, if ever.
They made great promises about tethering but none came true :(

Isn't that like saying that illegal gun selling doesn't increase the number of gun shot victims?
Sure, it isn't the same, but the fact that they are facilitators should count for something, as well it does in the case of arms selling.
Well just putting it out there.....

This does explain all the Alien Sightings over the years. They were simply hallucinations!
Fine, they can make plastic out of water, way cool! I'll give em that. But why, oh why can't they upload a decent photo :S
That was quick.......
I shouldn't have put my tongue to the ice last time I was there. I must have left some of it behind

Not meant as such, quite new to slashdot. Just meant it as a joke!
