    Ya know, I have to believe that people that advocate only patronizing free bands and such, just don't much get why there is a music industry in the first place and in not getting it they have missed a complete cultural experience that the rest of the population share in. I'm sure that these independent free bands are just fine and have great music but the usual reason for a band publishing itself is that they suck too much for the biggies to offer them a contract. The other reason of course is what the recent spate of indy bands have done and that is rebel against the labels. However we have created a culture and while it is changing I admit there is still a large amount of talent being found and publicized by the majors. The culture is also still there and being counter culture while briefly exciting is very lonely in the end. So maybe we should just keep nudging the industry in the right direction, keep fighting these fights and maybe just maybe we can have our culture and the free stuff too?

    They aren't Belgian that's a misconception. The guy that made them was merely named Belgium. So no problem there.

    There are DNA comparison tools that do just that actually, they compare for similarity of strings of DNA, not exact match and give you a percentage score. Hmmm have to look into this.

    But another bit of meta data there is "generation" so at least you could see how far it went from the place it started. The meta data actually has a purpose and people that process images without preserving it should be shot. And if the image hasn't got meta data and you are a professional you won't use it anyway. I hate tools like Paint because they destroy all that beautiful meta data you could have used to make this determination much easier. Assuming of course that image was generated and stored by someone who used the meta data in the first place. Alas you may be hosed here.
