There was a coincidence involving a phone number for an Apple store and some foundation involving Bill Gates, the name most associated with Microsoft, Slashdot's favorite target to blame for the ills of the world.
What's the discussion? Does this matter? To anyone? At all?
I think what our friend Exiler here is trying to say is that Javascript has nothing in common with Java except the name. And if I'm to believe the person who told me, Javascript had a different name while it was being developed but Sun exerted sufficient pressure on the neccesary parties to change the name to sound like Java.
I know it's not my sig. It's nexex's sig. And furthermore, there are 3 spaces between the words. Keep in mind that html treats all contiguous whitespace as a single space, and then view the source.
Actually, counting spaces, it is precisely 120 characters. If this comes out in any kind of understandable format, it will show this:

The lower the cost of sending a message to someone, the lower the probabability of them responding is required to make it worth the spammers while. In other words, since sending spam is so cheap, they don't need to worry much about wasting resources on people who won't reply. If there's any chance in hell, it's worth the spammer's time.
1% is insanely high. I was under the impression that response rates to spam were usually measured in thousandths of percent.

I always thought/me was a reference to the irc command/me.
Actually, maybe you do mean that.
I guess the irc command does show the name of the executing party. OK, nevermind.
You have determined that the controller for the power grid was on a private network. Maybe this explains the need for Trinity to infiltrate the lab to use a specific computer rather than any internet cafe. (hint: behind firewall)
People like to talk a lot of shit about the matrix, but when you do it, you might as well make an argument that makes some small amount of sense.
Actually the data you get back from a cd drive in audio extract mode is NOT the same as that on the disk.
But the only difference between the two is the one you point out. Tiny differences in where the track starts and ends. In the part that matters, (the actual content) there shouldn't be one bit (pun intended) of difference.
For the love of god, the idiocy on this thread is really beginning to get to me. If you had looked at the article at all, you would have seen that what you are suggesting IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID!
Not only that HE CONSULTED AN EXPERT who told him the riff was commonplace.
I saw this mentioned elsewhere on the thread too. A melody does not have a "keyspace" of all 88 keys on the keyboard. No melody uses a range that wide. The vast majority of melodies you hear fit in one octave. (12 notes) And the vast majority of the rest fit in 2.
Let me run some calculations here... First of all, let's assume that a 4 note melody will fit inside a range of two octaves, a very liberal estimate.
Next factor in the fact that a melody transposed is still isomorphic to the original, and recognizable by anybody as the original.
Therefore the first note doesn't matter in terms of defining the melody. What does matter is the intervals between the subsequent notes.
Now, in a 2 octave range there are 24 notes. So each of the 3 remaining notes could be one of 24 notes. 24^3 = 13824. Holding out the notes for a whole second seems quite long for the average melody too. Let's assume an average of.25 seconds per note, which is more representative of reality.
So we have 13824 * 0.25 seconds, or 57.6 minutes. I guess they would all fit on a cd.
I'm assuming you're doing something absurd like counting every note on the piano, in which you get a lot of "melodies" that would bounce between the highest and lowest octaves on the keyboard. Sorry, but that sounds like crap. That's not even a melody by the conventional definition.

I work part-time with an hourly wage of $13.75/hour. After taxes, this comes out to a net income of about $680/month.
Expenses (/month) Rent: $370 Food: ~$100 Utilities, cable, internet: ~$50 (I live with 4 room mates) Cell: $45
And then there are miscellaneous things, like CDRW media and what have you. Occasionally I have to pay something huge, like tuition, or I get a nice tax refund or something, but I'm pretty much breaking even right now.
Stop fighting it. Just get a real database. Why are you so hell bent on using Access? What you are describing is far beyond the scope of what anyone ever imagined when designing Access. Why are you trying to simulate the features of a real database, when they already exist, and they're good too... I'm seriously puzzled.

Hold on there skippy. Java applets ARE Java.
I think what our friend Exiler here is trying to say is that Javascript has nothing in common with Java except the name. And if I'm to believe the person who told me, Javascript had a different name while it was being developed but Sun exerted sufficient pressure on the neccesary parties to change the name to sound like Java.
Quick recap:
Java Applications - Java
Java Applets - Java
Javascript - Not Java
I hope this helped.

Great idea. So I can take any loop based music (most modern rock, pop, rap, techno etc), pay 2% for an 8 second loop, and loop it back together?
Most music is repetitive. The value of music is not linearly distributed with respect to time.
There.
NO IT IS NOT LEGAL.
For the love of Jesus, it was a bass line that was probably 4 seconds, not a whole song.
Not only that it was REPLAYED.

the rubber tires was standing on an ramp (about 35 to 40 degrees). its not plain possible.
Yes it is possible. The tires are weighted. RTFA.
I use CoolEdit also, but you should be aware that the latest version of Sound Forge does instant deletes anywhere in a file.
