The correct question is "should block chain save the music industry?" What the big record companies seem to not have grasp is their tight grip on music is over. Nobody really needs a big ass record company with a huge printing and distribution network to make it.
All they need is a good streaming service and a decent group of followers on social media. it's all coming full circle. The artists can control their own music again.
Big Music (tm) isn't dead yet but the farm is coming out of the house with the shotgun. Time for that trip behind the barn.
No arguments with you here on this. A few weeks ago I used sed to search and replace some words in almost one million files. It took about 40 minutes to do a search and replace on that many files. I don't even know of a windows tool off hand that would let me do that.
Windows server has a new gui-less mode but I don't know any one that uses it. If you are going create only server I have yet to see anything that beats linux or unix. An for straight up batch processing text and data, nothing does.
Just as windows has it strengths, linux has its. I know you can run webservers on windows but apache really excels on linux. Right tool for the right job.
LOL at "investment". How much money does that 70 fps gaming rig earn you?
Not as much as it usually does. Only $95 the month before last, and a little over a $100 and some change last month. Not even enough to cover the cost on renting my homestead. But that isn't surprising marketplace sales are kind of slow this time of year.
I could have picked up some slack doing some Dj work or picking up some custom scripting contracts but I really didn't feel like messing with it. Things should pick up as fall starts, but to be honest, its going to be hard to clear $300 bucks. I have to get some new products up on the marketplace.
Wait. You where being a smart ass wasn't you? I bet it never dawned on you that you can use a kickass gaming rig to earn real money inside a game?
It isn't that I can't. It is that I'm not going too. Your illness, TDS, will not let you see anything positive at all about Trump. Trump could end world hunger, bring world peace, and solve the budget by shitting gold bricks and you would still find something to rant "Trump bad... Trump bad" about.
Nixon got us out of Vietnam and Trump saved us from Hillary.
Windows is crap, period. People only think it works better because they don't know any better, or are resistant to learning a new way of working with something, because they know windows and that's the only way anything will ever work for them.
Well that is a pretty dumbass thing to say. In virtually every desktop situation windows does as well and most of the time better than a linux desktop. For a gaming rig it does everything better than linux. Nothing touch windows for gaming.
For office work, again windows does everything better. If linux could touch windows on the desktop then it would be much higher than a mere 3%, if that much.
An there are plenty of us that work in both windows and linux. An yes, we do know better. Apparently, much better than you do.
Yeah, except that statistic is broken. The real Linux desktop market share is about double.
I think its broken too. I think its more a long the lines of half that, if that much. I have yet to see a linux desktop in the wild that wasn't installed by a local penguin head for his own use.
Yes, in retrospect, the ClearChannel takeover really did mark a definite point when radio took a dive.
Yeah, I think you nailed it dead on there. Ten years ago I would have laughed at you if you would have told me that I would be paying 15 bucks a month for a streaming music service. Now, I do so gladly. I play spotify 8 to 10 hours a day. No commercials, no jabbering morning show wasting my time, and annoying the hell out of me.. Worth every penny of it to me.
That's why I think the big commercial players will slowly die out, but college radio stations and things like that will continue to thrive. There are better ways of delivering payola than radio now, so there's not a lot of incentive for the media companies to support it once the audience goes away.
As much as I would love to see that happen it is doubtful that it will go that way. They will probably appropriate the spectrum and sell it off to the highest bidder. Just like they did with the analog TV spectrum.
Shame too. Some of the best memories come from listening to college radio at 1 am and being able to actually call the Dj and talk to him/her live on the air. Then requesting some obscure track off the b-side of some album to be played. An they would actually play it.
and I don't mean general purpose CPUs that do double duty but something like this that really is meant for the workstation. If you're just a gamer these CPUs are worse than useless. They sightly under perform the top general purpose CPUs at twice the price. I know time is money, but there's diminishing returns (anyone remember 52x CDR?)
Then again they are not being marketed for gamers. I believe they are being marketed for high end cpu intensive applications like cad and 3d animation software, such as blender. Still, I'm kind of scratching my head there. I'm not sure how big that market would be.
When I built my new i7 system I opted to step down from 8 to 4 cores. From what I have been reading most game engines are optimized for 4 core intel based systems any way. Most games I get over 70 fps on a 4K gaming rig so I think it was good investment.
As for using extra cores for blender, I really don't see the point there. I use blender and like most serous blender users that I know we use the cycles engine and pawn the rendering off to the gpu. To me, it was a better deal to step down the cores and spend the extra $$$ on a better graphics card.
Not even the people he was condemning believed it was a honest statement. That's one of the problems with President Lies-a-lot Trump, he lies so frequently and about so many things, big and small, that only his most ardent die-hard supporters believe anything he says until he backs it up with actual action.
Trump condemns the groups so that people like you will have something to believe in. The real Trump is the "violence on many sides" Trump, who tried to turn a murder by a white supremacist into victim blaming.
This is why you can't debate people with Trump Derangement Syndrome. As soon as Trump is mentioned they loss all contact with reality and start frothing at the mouth, screaming, and ranting. "Trump Bad Trump BADD." All logic flies right out the window. There sense of reality is so warped they simply can't get past it. Some of these fools are even blaming the hurricane on Trump.
Here is some news from you suffering from TDS. We are going to be just fine. Here is what Trump will probably be. A mediocre one term president. That is all. We survived Bush Prime, Bush Beta, and Obama, Come 2020 we'll be doing just fine.
Hitler gassed 6 million people. Counting the Taco Bell incident, Trump's only gassed a couple dozen at most.
Actually, Hitler gassed or otherwise murdered 6 million Jews. Conservative estimate that Hitler also murdered at least as many homosexuals, gypsies, and those he considered "defective" in some manner. This is why I quote the 12 million number, instead of the 6 million.
This is what sets me off when people compare anyone to Hitler. They really don't know what kind of monster he was. That is why everyone needs to sit down and talk to a survivor of the camps while they are still around.
Godwin's law clearly applies here. Once you compare Trump to Hitler and his government to the Nazi's, you have lost. Your argument is over.
Hitler was a horror that left a stain on history forever. Trump is nothing more than a four year inconvenience. Time to put them in perspective.
Well looking at these facts I see a bunch of claims by Trump that could or could not be tree. Then I see a bunch of claims by the Washington post that say these claim's by Trump are not true. What I don't see is evidence from the Washington Post that can be used to check their facts. So, what we have here is a bunch of unverified claims by the Great Orange being counter claimed by a bunch of unverifiable claims by a failing media rag.
This put the counter claims by the Washington Post exactly in the same frame as those they are saying are false. In other words not worth the web page they are printed on.
You know, you fools that keep comparing Trump to Hitler or the "right" to nazi's have no fucking clue what the hell you are are talking about. You are comparing the US government and its president to a system and man that murdered 12 million jews, homosexuals, and other people he found undesirable in most efficient process he could come up with. A man that started a world war that killed over 50 million people.
When your trump derangement syndrome has you frothing at the mouth and pulling bullshit out of your ass like this, then you are one sorry excuse for a human. Go talk to someone that survived one of the real Nazi death camps and compare Trump to Hitler and see what they tell you.
Hopefully, this is just the beginning. With any luck they will get a trail of evidence that leads right back to George Soros. Then maybe they can bring some federal charges against the head of the whole problem.

Holy shit!. I have a 4 digit uuid and even I'm not that much of a asshole.
That is a nice looking drone. Good price too. Someone in my apartment complex has been flying that model around.

Good point! We could put the same UI on phones, tablets and desktops - it'll be a huge success!
Wait! Wait! I know this. $200 for the win. Is it .... windows 8?
I read your post and just can't help but think of the Northrop M2-F2 lifting body crash in 1967.
And it only took 26 years!
Yes, in retrospect, the ClearChannel takeover really did mark a definite point when radio took a dive.

The original quote comes from the original post that I responded too.
We are not comparing Trump to Hitler,
Yes, Yes you are.
it just makes the orange Hitler a lying piece of shit.
Hitler gassed 6 million people. Counting the Taco Bell incident, Trump's only gassed a couple dozen at most.

Okay. Clapper it is then.
Chelsea Manning, whom Obama tripped over himself pardoning as he ran on the door of the Whitehouse. Practically, on his last day as president.
I wonder if that pardon has some string attached that he/she* wouldn't talk after pardoned.
*I said he/she here because I really don't know what to call him/her.
Hopefully, this is just the beginning. With any luck they will get a trail of evidence that leads right back to George Soros. Then maybe they can bring some federal charges against the head of the whole problem.
No Disney loses. Netflix loses, but eventually wins. People already have Netflix, and I doubt many people will shell out $5 for little mermaid.
As for Star Wars and Marvel, true fans will already have them on DVD/BR, and the rest will just wait for them to come on TV.
I predict the disney stream will be still born and they will eventually crawl back to netflix like good little sheepe.
Unless its the old politically incorrect cartoons from days gone by, still not worth it.
