No, your sentence had an unambiguous statement of what "will" be. The only way that could be made not true, according to *your own certainty*, is if he were to blink out of existence. You did not include the concept or possibility of rehabilitation in the sentence I was responding to.
Approaching it from a bit of a DSP engineer's perspective. I've always thought that day traders (or HFT) actaully value the first derivative of the value more than the value itself. Which means that calculations based on the moments of the value distribution, or even relying on the existence thereof, may no longer apply.
Agreed. I'm no musician (though it's one of my interests - I do listen to a lot, and go to live gigs all the time), but the difference between a sequenced drum track and a real drummer's line are like black and white to me. When I do encounter real drummers playing as if they were a soulless sequencer I always why they bother - they must have bored themselves stupid just cycling through a few bits of motor memory a few hundred times.
Oh I highly recommend the recent Ginger Baker documentary/Beware of Mr. Baker/.
You're right - it predates you. I can't honestly think of an era in popular music since the early 60s which wasn't financially dominated by manufactured bands (and I'm including the beatles in that - they were leather-clad rockers before the real money was dangled in front of them, and they changed image and sound on a dime), and those bands were not selected on the basis of having the most talent.
I hope you were playing Michael Lee Ferkins too, while you were in NE, rather than grunge!
Thanks for the Seree pointer - good stuff, though rather derivative. Some of the tracks on youtube didn't seem to be going anywhere ("finger exercises" one of my jazz guitarist friends would call them) but others reminded me of the more symphonic bands like Savatage/T.S.O.
But even if Pat Metheney with his guitar and pedals can play the xylophone, only digital music will let him bend the xylophone like he does his guitar notes. Why not have whammy bar crickets on an oboe. Digital does have the possibility of going beyond the traditional analogue.
As someone who's liked a lot of what's come out of Fairlight CMIs over the last few decades, in particular in the hands of highly trained and skilled musicians, I see/feel more of a difference between live and any playback than I do between the best digital/sequenced music and traditional instruments.

Just plain wrong. I send valid unicode to the site, labelled as unicode, with the UTF8 encoding.
So your "you break the sequence up into 0xc3 and 0xa4" is also just plain wrong. I don't break anything into anything, I send those bytes in a stream which has metadata to indicate that that sequence is supposed to be interpreted as one character.
And your "you then convert into html-entities" is just as plain wrong. That conversion happens entirely within slashdot's servers.
So that's multiple levels on which you're wrong.
I may be lazy, for not previewing, but I'm not wrong.
It's another case of "use of a tool which gives you plausable deniability makes you the most likely candidate". Compare multiple-key disk encryption. And guys with stockings over their heads.
Indeed, all they needed to do was log the initial in-the-open connection to the service that then subsequently hides everything.
This paragraph looks like the nearest in subject-matter (quality and fine mentioned), but to my eye says almost the exact opposite!

I know bugger all about biology, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of the more extreme chemicals which instigate chemical processes (oxidation, reduction,...) would actually become part of the metabolism, rather than just being an immunity. The energy from the reaction would become part of its energy source.
HCl in stomachs springs to mind - the gut flora there probably thrive off the acidic environment, rather than just being immune to it.
There's a good chance it's just mensuration for trade. Things traded in bulk were traded in 10s, and things traded in small quantities were traded in units.
Imperial units for fluid measure kinda did that either side of the gallon. Smaller, for domestic use, it's binary division, but then suddenly there's a factor of 9 (firkin) for the quantities likely in commercial use.

I'm also looking for numbers on the back of old receipts, if you know anyone who has any.

Complete agreement on that point.
> what will happen to him now will not benefit society.
So his non-existence would be better for society than his continued existence?
You don't see any contradiction in what you've just written? 'Cos I do.
> Why do you think I was wishing the best for him?
Because you said "... he would be better of [sic]... "
I have absolutely no doubt what you say applies to this case, and also as you say, to many others.

> Are bagpipes even compatible with digital music?
Bagpipes are the equivalent of buffer overruns.
And were the headline to be
"Are Instrumental Musicians Redundant Now Digital Music is so Capable?"
?
From society's perspective, he'd be better off eating rat poison.
Why are you wishing the best for a dumbass criminal?

Why do you want the best for this dipshit?
If you're *innocent*, don't talk to cops.
If you're guilty, spill the beans immediately.
You seem to want to encourage criminals to waste the whole legal system's time? (Which, like everything in the end, is paid for by honest tax-payers.)

Perhaps he knew he was both culpable and guilty? He was, after all, probably in the best position to ascertain that.
