A completely free distribution will not stop staggered release schedules and regional encoding. These things are drived by a passion for control, to co-ordinate (and fund) the marketing campaigns and the differences in currency rates and market rates.
Because I can never find anything but ragged porn on Freenet. It is a chicken and egg type problem. Freenet never reached that critical mass to be as interesting as Kazaa. But Anon-X is even more than that. It is like a new version of Anonimizer.

Tom and Ray Magliozzi have made there reputition on being honest, plain talking, as well as funny. I have never understood why those other spuds at NPR are so in bed with Real Player. It is so nice for Real Player to be recognized for the dreck that it be and the crime of making Microsoft look GOOD!
At first glance, 120 images every second seems a bit much. How far was an armor pircing RPG move in 1/120 of a second? No way to react defensively in that amount of time. Well, maybe. But then I realized - the targeting information for a retaliatory strike could be relayed on a secure wireless link to Someone else. Then they would be Dead Meat.
...not to service the Shuttle again is for safety's sake, a Hubble mission would need a spare Shuttle ready to go for a rescue mission, just in cause Something Happen. Okay - but would it not be worth just one time to protect the investment in this, one of the most successful space project ever?
...that Google has Booble beat, pants down. Booble could not even hit once on "tribadism", while Google hits about 9,420 times and correct my misspelling of "tribidism". So, I will put up with Google.
Thank you for the positive moderation BUT......i was a dufus. I realize now that is *only* about music NOTATION. Sheet Music. Staves and black marks and such. And that actually is COMPLETELY out of the scope of the MIDI specification and probably will be for forever. The notation of music in 2D dimensions on a static page has zero to do with a Musicial Instrument Digital Interface. Sorry about the confusion.
Yes, it can. Work very well for just about any keyboard player on the planet - although some experts at Bosendurfhoer (or however you spell) disagree but their classical ears are so much better than mine.
And yes, there are MIDI guitars *but* if you faithfully try to all of the nances of say, a Jimmy Page guitar solo, all the pitch bend message messages will flood the sequencer. I have tried this in *ages* (I don't actually own a MIDI guitar) but even if the recorder will keep it, it has got to be a BEAR to edit.
And yes, yes, yes, MIDI can make very nice sheet music but it does have it's limitation - that other guy was right. I had forgetten that my favorite music software (Melody Assistant) actually has many extension to the MIDI standard, but the truth is, I don't use them much.
For me, notation is a means to program the synth, not a end to itself. I never actually READ the bloody stuff when I'm playing. You heard the ole joke about how to shut up a guitar player?
What baka at Apple worked overtime to come up with THAT gem? If I recall correctly 320x240 was all the rage back in 1986, only we called it EGA. Okay, it was only 16 colors but why not call it Enhanced EGA then or EGA+ if you hate typing.
I will add my voice to the chorus - MIDI is it and this is a solution in search of problem that it will not find. As for the problem of MIDI not being able to record a live performance and produce sheet music - who cares? After working with MIDI for over ten years, the only problem is that it cannot keep up with the nances of a great electric guitarist (SUPRISE - it was a keyboard language!) and only 16 programs and 128 voices. Both can be solved with an upgrade.
But none of this really matters to web pages! The latest Quicktime synth is awesome if programmer correctly but like most MIDI synths these days, it is in desparate need of some nice expressive electric guitar sounds. Let the engineering go where it is needed, PLEASE!!
And hey - whatever happened to MPEG-7 Structure Audio anyway???
"The world's first singing synthesis software" What nonsense! Myriad has had Virtual Singer on the market for YEARS! And yes, it does sound like a machine but it is a singing synthesizer!!!
Someone is in deparate need of fact checking. I hate to Slashdot run around with it's fly open like this.
...i started so much confusion. But 192 kHz seems wrong when discussion sample rate. But kbps is certainly wrong. We are talking about 192,000 32-bit samples per second, so I guess it should be 192 ksps@32-bits
Mmmm, what would really be nice if the DAC's were not on the sound chip but in a sheilded housing if it's own and then some nice connectors. And the sound chip would have that digital audio interface - i forgot what it is called - if it even supports something as insane as 32-bits/192kbps
32-bit audio at 192kbps? Why not just stick with 24bit at 96kbps - it is good enough for most studios. And actually 16-bit at 44.1kbps is the most that these old ears are gonna hear anyway - if even that well after sitting front for Jimi Hendrix.
...but I like the idea of doing this with all of the ole ICBM's that one where ready to blow up the world. Drain (or scrape) them free of fuel and set them out to rust in peace.

"will be the first time mammals of any kind have lived in partial gravity for an extended period."
I suppose the astronauts and cosmonauts who have lived as long as a year or more in zero gee are just chopped liver to this idiot of a salesman.
...with a pound of Godiva chocolates and a coupon book redeemable anytime for his or her favorite sex acts.
A chainsaw would help a lot better!
...only the legality. Which may have NOTHING to do with the why P2P is actually used. Hopefully, they will stop the damn RIAA viglantes!!!!
RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION DAMMIT!!

You hand him some sheet music.

Virtual Singer is. But it will not replace any human. It sounds like a robot. But sometimes, you want a robot to sing, right?
