Now that many papers have an online presence they should have more, not less advertisers available. The customer/reader is accessing them via the internet the customer/reader can purchase goods via the internet as well. In the physical paper it makes less sense for a product sold online to be advertised, so that market is probably nil.
My local paper does advertise brick and mortar local shops on their website, meanwhile Amazon.com reports its best-ever holiday season. I see zero, non-local advertisements on my local papers website.
Given bittorrents popularity at this point, even if kazaa gets back in business, is it really going to make a difference? It's obvious that bit torrent is being chosen by the tech masses as the next-big-internet-software-distribution-mode(tm).
It's odd, I have an affinity for some more experimental sounding stuff too. Charlie Hunter has some really cool stuff, organ like tones out of that weird half guitar half bass he plays. You can hear his influence on tracks like Neon from John Mayer. That said, I also like guys like Preston Reed, every song of his sounds like it should be on a soundtrack somewhere.
Along those same lines I'm a fan of George Benson's jazzier stuff, he's a better player than a lot of people give him credit for. Especially on live tracks where he improvises at a pace that can only be described as 'intense'. Really good tone as well, very little attack. He can also has a pretty insane voice, a rare combination. Personally I tend to play blues type stuff but I try to have a little bit of a jazzier take on it. Sort of like Robben Ford I guess. I really like blending the blues and jazz to put an odd spin on things. I really like layering chord changes to the point that it's almost self-indulgent. I definitely picked that up from EJ, funny how that works.
It's amazing to hear Eric Johnson talk about his own playing, you'd swear he was no good at all! He comes off as being very hard on his own ability. Yet he gets on stage and runs all over pentatonics like most people can only dream. He has a really unique approach to string skipping, like fifths jazz warmup type exercises only very fast and very musical. Mostly though I like the way he freeform comps live, so many great layers of chords. Kind of Larry Correll-ish. Very cool.
Reminds me of Eric Johnson, in one of his instructional videos he says he tunes low E A and D strings slightly and increasingly flat from D to low E and his G B and high E slightly and increasingly sharp. He says he does this due to inaccuracies in the western scale. He has a notoriously discerning ear. I've read stories of him striping down his entire signal path amps to the boards in the studio to make sure it was as pristine as it could be to his ear. For instance, he takes out the screw in the bottom of his dallas arbiter fuzz face and secures the loose assembly plates with a rubber-band because he thinks it sounds better.
Then again, in ear training programs I've heard that if you can't be in tune be ever so slightly sharp as it sounds a bit brighter to the human ear. You tend to get a less 'off sounding' performance to the audience.
I'm pretty sure this is why the Boss TU-2 has bypass so you can tune without other people listening even in the middle of a song during a drum solo or breakdown what have you. Visual feedback so you don't even have to be able to hear to tune properly.
Your lightweight mp3 server: Slimserver. It's free, it's pretty, it's open source. More info. Fairly easy setup, very configurable and best of all if you really don't like something about it you can change it.
ProTools LE is 32 tracks, and it's like comparing gimp to photoshop. Protools has a lot of depth when you really need to get down and get some work done. I do agree that garage band is a great value and will great for tracking musical ideas quickly and easily. The Sheryl Crow sound byte in the ad during the keynote was the best summation of what it can offer to a more serious musician.
It's highly likely that through the use of core audio you will be able to use an Mbox or Digi 002r in my case in conjunction with soundtrack since they're advertising it on the GarageBand page.
Why is every "media" product just a reactionary response to Apple's products? I guess people really do measure Apple's products as the standard by which all others are judged.
I have a feeling a mini ipod could be subsidized by the larger ipods in an effort to get more users for the itunes music store. Get those users hooked on it and later on they may consider the larger player or at least continue using the music store.
Because, in addition to a dead battery the heat from the drive against the battery had created a pressure expansion in the battery pinching the drive and making it not work properly. So I opened the case to investigate and found out that the battery was dead and the drive still worked if given a power source that didn't pinch it.

Yes. I've taken the case off my 5gig removed the battery and plugged in the firewire connector to my powermac and it spun up and functioned. I didn't try to play music through it but I assume since it synced and mounted it would play if plugged into the wall adapter.
This, from a woman who bought a powerbook and then scathingly thrashed it in a "review". Why the hell would you buy something, let alone keep something that from all indications you completely hated? What's worse are the "what so and so company needs to do to get back in my good graces" editorials. Feh. Removed from my bookmark bar long ago.
All the machines have 2gb of ram, which is much more expensive than the default config if apple is selling you the ram. I'm sure they got a fat educational discount on top of some other deals for the sheer visibility of such a powerful cluster.

They can toss them about the network and use them as a distributed compile/render/$distributed_task farm.
I read it as, "If you are native american and soux you may not wear patent leather shoes"
I could be totally wrong.
This sort of reminds me of a penny arcade strip.

I'm curious if they've done anything about the realtime monitoring issues inherent in usb audio.

I have that G5 and it did indeed blow me out the side of my house.
Graphics package availability comes second to overall efficiency of workflow.
