Artistist who cant play live,oh you mean the spice girls! Seriuosly though, i hear what you are saying. I have seem some bands / pop singers who are good recorded and sucked live, but others (NiN, Apoptygma etc) who are mucg better live even though I have 1 NiN cd i have seen them twice. I have no Dr Dre cds, but would gladly pay to see him live after hearing some tracks from the good old net, that maybe i would have ignored otherwise.
These sites like mp3.com allow me to also hear new artists who may only get to play in the local bars but with the internet can be heard by thousands of people
People have had their taste of free music now. The record companies really cannot continue ripping both the consumers _and_ the artists off for much longer.
I read recenly in the British press that for her recent gigs in the UK Madonna made over £1million (thats $1.5mill us) per NIGHT and she did 6 gigs. I am sure other bands (cough metallica) make roughly the same. Now madge is big and probably doesn't get screwed over record deals but recently in the UK Hearsay sold 1 million singles and only got 22thousand pounds each! along with sales from millions of albums they get almost nothing (say 5% of sales profits) if you really support an aritst see them live they get the money.
Recorded music should be a form of advertising an performance for the fans a way of making money. As for mp3.com they have really pioneered the way music is transfered over the internet. Yes the big traders will use message boards, ftps and irc but for the general public napster was it.
I personally have seen 2 bands live now since i got a track from mp3.com (which IIRC they get paid for as well)
I know in the Uk at least from the above mentioned magazine that many art collages in the UK at least consider computer art a valid form of expression. They recently had a supliment from a number of art students from around the UK including real pictures (the kind from fractal/corels Painter app) , CG renders and graphic design. I lot of work can go into a good computer generated image and the undos are vaigly similar to the way in acrylic and oils you can repaint.
I don't have much art training other than school level and many visits to art galeries but maybe in the future we will see images from painter6 in galleries along side traditional images. It takes time for any new media to be accepted by the establishment.
Dunno
RiscOs + acorns had a nice 32 bit gui + anti-aliased fonts in 1991.. mmm 8mhz + 4mb ram and a gui capable of running dtp+paint+games.
Yeah and so did apple IIRC
WOW
Seems that mores law has been pretty much holding (give or take a factor of 10) since tube days. Back then you could tell a good computer by the number of flashy lights. Now intel tell us it is better to be able to run flash.
Having just gone through the 1st year at said University I would like to add a few comments, if I may. My experience in programming started in BASIC back in the BBC Master days and i still remember fondly gotos... After that I did some C and C++ in london. Anyway onto warwick CompSci
Yeah in the first term were get taught Java starting from basic data types to arrays,inheritance and such. For data input to out programs we had to use a predefine data input box, which ment that we could be taught manipulation and structure without having to learn the fancy gui stuff as well.
You then go onto things like datastructurs later in the year but i didn't tkae that option. Also Students learn the functional language SML which is something quite different from C or java but is a nice language to teach analytical skills I feel. However for real world use it is slightly different, yeah i can use VB/Java+swing and make a nice gui app but i would rather get down and know the underlying stuff, but this way i have been taught good programming skills such as comments/inheritance/*insert stuff here* initially. Hey its 3am exams are over
Isn't South Ken a Nuclear Free Zone..
Oh yeah, we were all told at IC that it was a "plasma experiment"....:o) I cant remember tyhe exact URL for magpie but I am sure there is a link from www.ph.ic.ac.uk
..It just moves it about. We have cameras all over my local highstreet now. No muggins but hey people deal drugs in the side streets.
My brothers is the subject of racist abuse and the police do nothing. Why? He is white and 3 cars chasing him on camera does count for much.
Speed cameras are all over the uk. no longer used to catch people speeding in danger areas like blind bends but to subcidise the police as tony blairs dictatorship (tm) is shit.
The british public is too dumb and the media to gagged to report on the RIP/Cameras/Anything that effects us.
In the Uk universities (well the good ones:o)) offer either CompSci or Comp eng. My uni offers a 3 year computing course that would probably be comp sci, but if you do the 4 year masters course it is tied to the engineering sides of things.
Most companies i have visited or spoken to at opendays dont seem to mind much as long as i am a suitable candidate for a job. ie if you want to go into networking Comp eng might be better but if they wanted a programmer i could still do that job having taking the required modules at uni.
It would do 550 with air + heat sink so i borrowed some liquid N2 from my physics lab, cut a coke can in half and strapped to cpu and poured in the Liquid nitrogen. CPu booted to windows at 700 mhz but then the power suppy exploded as i forgot to vent cold gasses out the case
Like how about we teach creation theory above evolution in schools. Hey if the moon isn't 4billion years old the bible is correct right!

Goto www.absinth.co.uk and order the La Fae stuff. The Hills is cheaper but not as much wormwood for that extra "OH MY GOD" smack.
It needs no mixing with Red Bull!

Yes but it is very early am and I am mildly drunk. I barely type let alone make sense of what i was posting.

Goto www.napigator.com
get it
install and connect to servers with 20000 people on them. SCREW THE RIAA
Yup thats my mini lab project for CS in my first year... Joy of programming a 68008 and ADC/DACs for this one to work.
>Chandra for about 50,000 seconds with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer
And i get bored waiting an hour for each x-ray crystalograph experiment.

What we do know is that we blackened the sky. At the time the machines were dependant on solar power.....
