And you always tried to keep the files as small as you could.
Well why not implement a MODule format where the instruments would be encoded in mp3 ?
No more restriction on the sample size! I Think for techno or dance it would be great, as those are pretty deterministic music. Back then, dance MODs were limited in accuracy because the samples of the girl singing bullshit a la "Talata the real thing..." were just too long. With mp3 compression no more problem such problems, and modern CPUs are largely capable of decompressing multiple samples at the same time.
Last summer, I was on holiday in Bretagne, and after a few days, I felt the need to check my email. So I entered a France Telecom shop, and asked for a 15' access pass for their public internet workstation (Which cost me FF10 - USD1.5). I had no waiting time, the PC was absolutely free, no-one wanted to use it except me.
In the mean time, there were some 5 people queuing to use the public minitel console. The using fee was also FF10 for 15'.
In the discussion "Every vote counts" vs. "My vote doesn't matter anyway", did you think of those people Florida, people with 'supervotes' : those who might have to revote in Palm Beach, with each of the 3000 people having to make the definitive choice for 100,000,000 people (only counting those who voted)! That's more than 333,000 people represented by a 'single vote' in some way !

In an election where there is only one person to elect and the others get NOTHING (senator, representatives, president), couldn't it be more fair to do it in two rounds, a first round to vote for the one you really want, and a second round to choose the "lesser of two evils" between the two that got most votes in first round ? This works pretty good in France I think, and the global representation in the Assemblee Nationale matches better what the people really voted for.
Supposedly the 'pill' is what 98% effective? And condoms are 99% effective? Hell, add those two up and you have 197% protection
No way ! they don't add, you have to multiply the complements, to get the complement of the combination. This gives 100%-(2% * 1%)=99.98%
By the way, let the woman choose, a tumor is a living entity too IMNSHO
In normal countries, there is gun control, and people just don't get killed. But then again in normal countries, we don't have two million people in jail, no death penalty, and (relatively) less criminality, and no one except a few hardcore catholics would set abortion in question. But again, its only in normal countries.

Maybe because he made what he made, and now he can be considered as a part of the family. I consider sending him a stuffed penguin for the baby.
Welcome to the world, 2.4 !
Next time, they will announce it doesn't run windows 95 for being a 16 bit processor.
Sorry, me again, little error on the numbers in fact it's 300,000 votes ot of 100M, which gives 'only' 333, still a huge number
