  1. what? perl? on Live Nightclub Hacking · · Score: 1

    Okay.. I work with a lot of synthesizer/drum machine stuff, Fruityloops is my savior, etc. etc.

    Electronic music is something that I can easily grasp because of the logic intertwines with the logic of music theory itself.

    However..

    Why wouldn't you take a step back when you realized what you're doing here? Integrating programming with music, in both of their current states, is grossly unacceptable. Sure, you can make some nasty basslines with your beeps and what have you, but COME ON.. pay homage to those in the 80s that ensured you would enjoy electronic music by pumping Lionel Richie full of drum machine goodness (and maybe plenty of other things) back when he was recording 'All Night' and shit like that.

    Sorry if I offend, but I'm not sorry. Stop programming music, damnit!

  2. Re:MAME... on Twenty-five Years at the Heart of Gaming · · Score: 1

    I hope that Jarvis' pro-emulator stance isn't dwindled by my defender mame machine.. *grobble*

  3. well alright then! on UK Government Advised to Promote and Adopt DRM · · Score: 4, Insightful

    oh yeah, that's the most pressing issue with broadband.. that people aren't interested in the ways they wish to exploit it. egads!

  4. Re:thinking things through on Future Army Battle Uniforms - Wired, Lethal · · Score: 1

    Uh...in fact, that sounds much better. And by much better, I'm talking about CNN's ratings when they show it live via satellite.

  5. He's nothing new. on Spam King Lives Large off Others' E-Mail Troubles · · Score: 1

    We already receive windows messaging ads about getting diplomas, in case the typical network administrator dropped out before he/she acquired one. They really need to consider their audience with this particular annoyance.

  6. Re:The word is treason on Want Freedom? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're talking about an entirely different topic.. if the Bush administration does something shady (such as they have been doing since 9/11), the major media outlets should be (and haven't been) monitoring these events, and giving the public a proper base for their decision to throw away constitutional rights. It's this kind of blank patriotism that's going to pull the country away from the people, and into the hands of a select few.

  7. Ouch, that hurts on FBI Confirms Magic Lantern Existence · · Score: 1

    "If we were at war the government would be able to require technology companies to cooperate, I believe, in a number of ways, including getting back door access to information and computer systems."

    The government and microsoft get back door action... I knew they'd f*ck me hard one of these days.

  8. Re:Why I am not against this on Government to Eavesdrop on Lawyer-Client Conversations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...innocent until proven guilty. sure, most might very well be guilty, but you can't generalize like that. prisoners deserve rights while they're going through the judicial process, because they're not yet guilty.

  9. Re:I've had it on Still More Advertising Links · · Score: 1

    I've had many friends fall victim to this shitty scheme a few times, and most of them have their heads screwed on straight. Try downloading Snood these days, and you'll have no option to install it without too installing Gator, and a ValueShopperIncorporatedCorporation program. There should be some sort of ethics code involved with net ads (as well as a degree of standard for the way the ads look...nothing detracting than a poorly-designed ad.)

  10. Eww gross! on The Real History of the GUI · · Score: 1

    Microsoft began just as small and insignificantly as did Apple. Starting out as a two-man operation out of the backseat of Bill Gates's car...'

    I knew it!

  11. Artificial Intelligent on Israeli AI System "Hal" And The Turing Test · · Score: 1

    The firm's philosophy is simple. If it looks intelligent and it sounds intelligence, then it must be intelligent. - Hmm... somebody is definitely unintelligence from the looks of it.

  12. Re:I guess they didn't learn their lesson with DiV on Rent A Downloadable Movie · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that even with TV Out, I'm almost certain that these companies would love to use MS Media Player as a safe "transport" for their bad idea. Media Player (as far as 7 is concerned) does not like multiple monitors at all, as it will only display a black screen when I plug my Inspiron (w/ Mobility M1, S-Video out) into my A/V switch. Drats.

  13. So much for that idea... on Rent A Downloadable Movie · · Score: 1

    As far as law and content are both concerned, the music people (noted as RIAA) might as well just be the movie people (noted as MPAA). Also bothering me is the fact that the movie *companies* (Sony, Universal, etc.), are very well different divisions apart from the music people (Sony, Universal, etc.) This leads me to believe that these companies are too big to learn from themselves. Shame on them.
