It was to test your understanding of music.You failed.
Hint: you do not get into Julliard by meeting the paper requirements. You must win some competitions of note and pass auditions. You have no chance of getting there with your tin ear or anything close to it, not even as a pianist or percussionist, sorry. Just like in basketball, you will not make the NBA if you are 5 foot 2. You need to be born with gifts, then of course practice much more than anyone would consider reasonable. Denying reality from the safety of your Slashdot posting chair will not change it.
Put it another way: I would not expect any accomplished professional to argue in favour of working around lack of talent. That sort of nonsense only comes from armchair philosophers or wannabes. In real life, you start with the best then make them better.
I doubt that a tin ear is a talent deficit that you could work around to the point of getting into Juilliard. I must say though, it's fascinating to see that there are those would would deny it. Not musicians I will wager, or at least, not recognized as musicians by any other than themselves.
OK, have at. Here's some soothing music to enjoy while composing your next rebuttal.
Nobody gives a crap about NTFS ACLs, what are you smoking? The rest of those islands of suck will erode when the air supply is cut off.
Ah, yeah. Let me know when Linux has a domain management system 1/4 as useful as Active Directory, or which allows administrators to control workstations in the field as tightly as Group Policy. To my knowledge NTFS is still the only file system approved for Pentagon computers with highly classified data, since none of the alternatives have ever passed their tests. And sure Exchange is crap, but the only alternative that has come even close in functionality was the abomination that was Lotus Notes. There are thousands of admins who would replace Exchange in an instant if there were an alternative, but there really isn't.
Don't you know that enterprise is switching in droves to Gmail, now isn't that enough to get you steamed? And there's plenty more where that came from. Face it, Microsoft's model of the enterprise belongs to the last century and the talent that had any hope of changing that jumped off the ship long ago.
You're a perfect example of the state of denial that keeps you guys steering straight ahead at the iceberg:-)
Please don't stop just because you know I'm watching, this is fun.
Haha, you are funny. You do know that Google extensively hacked the Linux kernel to make it do what they want in terms of memory management etc? What do you suppose the lead time would be, just to repeat that on BSD? Among countless other "little" details.
No, don't you tell me, it will just be random. Let somebody who knows what they're talking about answer.
Linux kernel would be more analogous to the car's engine, drive train, suspension, electrical system, cooling system and locks. Android is the upholstery, headlights, door handles, and faceplate on the radio.
Microsoft still occupies the business desktop and needs to be ejected. There are way too many entrenched Exchange mail servers than is good for the economy. Some standards body damage needs to be undone. A few things. Otherwise, yes, we won, and a big fuck you to Microsoft for being an unsporting competitor.

Then I take it you understand more about basketball than music. Thanks for playing.
Don't tell me, you could also be an NBA star if only you cared to, right?
Do you think you could make it into Juilliard if you practice really hard?
The real issue is, for a large and increasing segment of the market, running Windows is not seen as an advantage, it's a drawback.
Note, he admits that Microsoft is his meal ticket. Not directly working for Microsoft, but a toady all the same.
I must say, Google has a got a big fail going in the no actual fullscreen gaming department.
Waving a controller in one hand makes you fit?
PC's are just not cool anymore
An Xbox is just a locked down PC that can't be expanded. What's cool about that?
And for that matter what make you think that any form of couch potatoism is cool these days?
Do you think that any amount of practice could have fixed that? (Hint: this woman could and did pay for the best instruction available in the day.)
Did you notice that some of the pitches were off?
And Americans would be suiciding instead.
It's the President's job to put US interests above all others.
But not above the rule of law.
Apple doesn't actually donate much to politicians at all...
And yet judges and presidents seem to display a consistent bias. Funny that.
Say, could you tell there was anything wrong with the Morzart performance I linked? Just wondering.

Wow I like that, excellent talent for denial. You belong in PR.
If you have a tin ear, don't plan to attend Julliard.

So what are they becoming, an "Office" company?
XBox company. Too bad the console market is imploding.
in order to be relevant moving forward, Microsoft will have to stop being a "windows" company
And with its evil air supply cut off, Windows can slowly die in palliative care.
