Are these 2 sentences not mutually exclusive?
And am I not allowed to just dislike the movie cos I thought it was crap and wasn't interesting in the slightest? Do I have to enjoy all movies, or only ones you liked?

He wasn't playing the radio. I would agree with you if he was playing the radio. I took it that its because he's playing CDs.
I go to a few cafes based on what music they play. The food isn't as good as some other places, but the music is what keeps me going back.
As someone else said if he's so concerned that people will be missing the music that he has to put an apology up, then the music is part of the whole "cafe experience" that people are paying for.

Yes, which is why radio stations pay a fortune for permession to play them. I've just run a week long radio station, it cost us 1000 pounds (about 1500$) for the license to play the music, on top of the license to broadcast

Well, problems with it:
It's not really clear how long each note is. I mean, 1 or 2 beats isn't too bad but 8 or 9 is harder.
How do you show triplets, ties or stacato and other things like that?
Each of those parts was quite a simple 7 or 8 note piece. A normal piece uses many more notes, and like I said would take much more vertical space.
And on the vertical space issue, spacing notes that are played together much further apart makes it much harder to glance at the music and know what you're supposed to be playing. With traditional score the notes are close enough together that you can see all the notes without moving your eyes. This way I can imagine funny chords where you have to track vertically with your eyes to take it all in.
Yes, that may depend on the song, but for a full classical piano piece, I'd much rather prefer what we have now than what is there.
It may be more intuitive, but I don't think it's really much better.

Wow, thats going to take a lot of extra paper to get a reasonable length song written down.
And why use a piano roll for a violin?
Are you wanting to replace musical notation for what would effectively be guitar tab with the notes drawn out to their full lengths?

Under US law, corporations have the same rights as people. IIRc this was somehow gained by invoking a law that was meant to be for equal rights for black people as applicable for corporations. The judge agreed, and corporations became people ~100years ago.

Yeah, I have a copy of part of it on my hard drive. It was done about a year ago...and linked to from /.

Sad but true.
Or is it poor because the country thats about to wage war on it has had an embargo on it for years...
> However, we're talking about the listeners, not the station itself
No. You were talking about the listeners.
The original analogy should be
Cafe customers == Radio listeners
Cafe Owner == Radio Broadcaster.
The radio broadcaster pays so (by the evil logic at the RIAA, which I don't agree with) should the cafe owner.
You were the one who brought in the listeners for some reason.

is listening to britney spears something that results because you have bad taste, or do you have bad taste after you listen to britney spears?

For a non US centric look at the world, you could try the Independent - www.independent.co.uk
Of course there's financial benefit - They don't have to pay the 285$ or whatever a year, so they're benefiting financially for that amount.

Sodipodi has only one person working on it AFAIK, so some of those development teams must be REALLY small.
There are other large GTK programs around:
Evolution, Gnumeric, Abiword, Gnucash

It's garage music
Its drum and bass for a pop audience

Themeability is given a higher priority than usability.
Oh my! Everything should look consistent!
Consistency helps with usability.
