    AIX has some hair brained ideas about sysadmining, and god help you if you attempt to use the tools they give you to admin the box.

  4. Re:Just stick a few blue LEDs on it... on The Impact of Memory Latency Explored · · Score: 1

    For me it's about having the game look as beautiful as it can.

    a $150 card won't do that.

    So once every 3 years, I go out and buy a $600 video card.

    And it's worth it. But then again $600 isn't that much money.

    Umm then your setup sucks.I used Various VOIP Providers. AOL, Vonage, and even some internet only based ones (Ventrilo, teamspeak). And I get perfect reception, clearity and it sounds great.

    So just because your machine/net connection/tech ability sucks, Don't label voip as crap.

    So because some people Made some good music back in the 1500's We should have stopped then? What about the 1200's? I'm pretty sure for that time they had some kicking tunes.

    Music never stops evolving. You think pop is crap (so do i) but the fact is. it's still music, and it's evolved and is still evolving.

    And not counting entertainment as a job? So I guess when metallica (or insert another band here) is done cutting that new album, it's back to work?!

    Do you have any fathom of an idea how much work goes into a cd? It's not as simple as gather 3-4 friends, and busting out some tunes and sticking it on a cd. From start to finish, the whole process could take months.

    Got a friend who owns a graphics shop and sometimes get work to do cd labels for underground/independant artists.

    Last guy he did who was a R&B style artist, spent 6 months making his cd. Writing songs, recording, publishing contracts. It's a full time job. So to come out and say that it's not, and they should give it away free is quite the slap in the face.

    So Miles Davis should have just performed in his spare time?

    Why do people need new music? Because listening to the same cd's over and over gets quite boring. And it's fun to listen to new music, new concepts in music.

    People who turn on MTV, watch music videos for 30 mins, and then declare all new music is crap, and there is no new styles out should look outside the box.

    There are 1000's of amazing songs out there being release every week by artists who will never get radio play time, Because they aren't not writing "popular music"

    Put down your 8-track tape and check out some music sites like mp3.com and browse the artists. I bet you money you'll find new stuff you like.

  8. Re:Go sweden go! on Sweden's File Sharing Debate Becomes Mass Brawl · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's a stupid statement.

    Music, information, entertainment should be free! ... If the owner of said item wants it to be.

    Musicians don't make music to just give it away (some do) but they also need to eat. I have no problems handing over some cash for a CD I like.

    What I don't like doing is handing over 25.99 for a cd, and having 23.99 go to a label, .50 to a another schmuck, and then .50 to the musician.

    That's what I don't like.

    But running around saying it all should be free is ridiculous. Remember, making that cd you listen to, or that mp3 you just downloaded, took time, took money and is someones lively hood.

    It's like stating all car repairs should be free!

    People love to cry ohh gnoes it's not free!! Free the beer, Free the speech. Everything should be free. Wrong asshole, it's called making money, you don't like it, go live in the fucking woods with RMS (I hear he has a wonderful guide to getting laid you should read up).

    Have fun with your free beer (generally tastes like shit as the person who made it usually doesn't know how) and your free speech (of course untill you disagree with them then you need to STFU, works both ways asshole).

    You keep working on Tetris clone 600,000,000 (it has purple blocks now woot woot!!) Before you start opening your pie hole about how it's a shame they charge money for a product, simple fact you don't like the license, don't fucking play it. Cause right behind you a million other people are willing to buy it, and play it for a couple months before moving onto a new game.
