    I'd like to make a donation to support this fine artist / geek. I run a brothel on the side and I'm wondering how I can donate a girlfriend to this guy, cause it's obvious to me he isn't getting one on his own.

    yeah, this isn't what I want. I want a disc that is belt buckle size (cowboy, not clubbing) with a screen entirely on one side.. navigation alla wrist watch with small buttons on the horizontal lower edges, placed like a game controller - sd card storage.. it should come with 2 x 1 gig cards, britney spears video in the trash bin on the tiny os which would allow me to surf open wifi channels with a firefox mini browser. It should have a small wireless earpiece with option to have wireless tooth-microphone adapter for local networked chat (like on a bus with all the other owners of said device).

    It should also do the dishes and fetch beer.

  7. I'm so glad you asked.. on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: 5, Informative


    Well, I am not famous, yet.. but I am working on exactly what you speak of, and here is a simplified version of what I am doing:

    I have a living room studio where I record all of our practices and jam sessions to firewire harddrives. I use 24 channels to mix down about 6 different sized diaphram condensers and a few 57s here and there. There's all the gear we need (amps, bass, guitar, two keys, and a trap set), effects, a PA, and we have and now own the only copies of all our material. We all learn and teach each other to engineer.. play.. compose.. we all treat it democraticaly when decisions are to be made about lyrics, composition, song selection, mastering, mechandise, etc. With all this in our own hands, we all sell CDs and merch at our gigs and in our spare time (running to local record stores and getting things on consinement), and reinvest certain monies from band oriented sales into necessary things like legal docs or advice.. expensive promotional materials such as ads, cds, etc. Repeat.. profit. we've removed the need for a label at the expense of not having everything all at once. But with a bit of work, the band can work like a sucessful startup company, and we're having one hell of a time while we're at it!

    NOOOOOOOO for the LOVE of GOD NOOOO! Don't go incouraging people to smash up their bones (rocks) for a possible profit craze. Most samples until recently HAD to be cut into pieces for transportation or storage. It is extremely rare based on a lack of DNA or tissue samples so far. If people start destroying their only samples, other information we might have the technology to analyze might be destroyed inadvertantly. Care is to be taken, me lad.

  19. Re:They not undestand us on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 1

    I always wondered why our science has assumed that other life would be carbon-based./i

    well.. carbon combines with other friendly atoms like hydrogen really well.. when carbon is oxidized during respiration of terrestrial forms, carbon dioxide is the result. This molecule is easily ejected from the system as waste. If you look at what has been considered as a good canidate for replacing carbon.. which is silicon, the same type waste of oxidation forms a lattice with 4 oxygen surrounding it.. silicon dioxide.. a solid. Much harder to get rid of.

    It's little things like this that make us look in certain spectrums for life.

  25. Re:Language on Scientists Discover What You Are Thinking · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I disagree. We would not throw away our modern languages simply because we created a universal one. When money, technology, and culture are put together in a dying society (think native americans), the language is sually the first thing preserved. What use is all their 'ancient' knowledge if it can't be decripted? So if we do, the professors will most likely be paid more, and will be of the higher minded sort. This is my opinion on the matter.
