to the best of my knowledge lorca wasn't an official member of the surrealist group he was just close friends with Dali, Bunuel and i think breton (it was a letter of recommendation from Lorca that convinced the surrealists to accept Matta) whichever groups people did or didn't belong to, Bunuel and Dali made a beautiful film and Lorca's poetry was amazing. Bunuel's other films are also pretty amazing in their own way.
Dali would rise from his grave and denounce disney's lack of support of monarchy and fascism, which he was in favor of in his own peculiar dali sort of way. His rift with the surrealists was at least partly blamed on his political beliefs which didn't sit well with the communism of breton and company. Uncle Walt didn't want to bring back a hereditary monarchy like dali did but certainly had his own appreciation for the nazi party, and a rabid hatred of communists.
and they'd be correct since most of them were naturalized american citizens. bohr wasn't to the best of my knowledge, and of course salk and feynman weren't naturalized since they were born in new york city, shockley was born in england to american parents and they moved back when he was about 3, dunno bout stroustrup but he's living in the us and has done so for years so quite likely has citizenship, besides he has worse problems, he's really danish yet people keep thinking he's swedish.
or name kids after yourself, my dad can't get credit to save his life since my brother of the same name has such a screwed up credit history. when my parents tried to get a loan to buy a house they had to go through all this nonsense to prove that my dad wasn't his own son. apparently the credit report companies read those time travel stories or something.
more info in english, the idea was running around even before mozart and kirnberger and such they were just the ones who wrote things about it that got passed along. so you were even more correct about the idea of the antiquity of randomly generated music than you thought! (and i'm sure someone else will be able to find even earlier references than I dug up. like most good ideas it was thought of a long long time ago)
in addition to cage's aleatoric compositions another take on the use of random processes in making music in recent years (one of many, there are and have been lots of people working like this) was iannis xenakis' work in stochastic processes/granular synthesis and such like. more information at http://mitpress2.mit.edu/e-journals/Leonardo/isast/spec.projects/Xenakisbib.html
In a 1970 write up about Johnny's fist million selling hit record, Reader's Digest reported that the inspiration for I Walk the Line was a chance tampering with his tape recorder during the Landsberg days. Johnny discovered a strange run of tones on his tape one day when playing it back and the melody stuck with him. Several months later, Cash discovered that the haunting tune was actually someone practicing some guitar runs, but he had been playing it backwards. He practiced the runs and in between, added the reversed melody chanted as "because you're mine, I walk the line", his first big hit.
I've certainly gotten jobs in the past from work experience from prestigious insitutions so i could certainly see why people should lose job opportunities over work experience at notorious ones.
you are making sense and spreading factual information about this matter instead of flailing about wildly. I assume the lawsuit against you from SCO and your paycheck from your masters at IBM are already on the way.
it seems like bibles really drive new technologies when it comes to text. gutenberg being the obvious example for movable type, up to those litte electric bibles that franklin made and johnny cash endorsed.
what do you think would be the next most useful improvement in bible reading technology? since bible readers have been early adopters in the past , i'm curious about where things might go in the future.
tough crowd tonight, that was a joke btw, not an attempt to advertise my latest get rich quick scheme. you know, compare the shoddy science of this article to the quackery of the only availble via spam penis enhancing pills, that sort of thing. next time i'll try to tie it into SCO somehow.
no surgery required! click here for details, etc...I mean since it seems to be the cause of every other damn thing on earth(ghosts, god, flatulence), why not? SCIENCE MARCHES ONWARD!!!
a problem is if we have an advertising based space economy and then the space shuttle banner advertisement market collapses. it's one thing for stupidmarketingdrivennonsense.com to go under, a few aeron chairs end up on ebay and life goes on, but with this we could start having low earth orbit billboards falling on us or the contestants on some outer space version of survivor all end up trapped in space because their show got cancelled. think of the children!!!
seriously though, is there enough advertising money floating around to pay for such a thing? maybe if there were enough people out there who would display nascar fan levels of support for any product that sponsors the space program they could pull it off. kids going on hunger strikes until their school serves tang so they can drink orange juice like astronauts, or get some sort of official beer of the space program chosen in return for a few million dollars donation. that sort of thing.

while it's a neat way to provide access to the internet, the most interesting part of it to me would be how you could use a network such as this to provide access to servers/services running on the local mesh. community broadcasting using streaming servers or local interest web pages and the like.
there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your programming platform of choice.
having seen the horrible excuses for UI that most 'hardcore' programmers try to pass off on unsuspecting victims i can understand why they can't compete with people who are skilled in providing elegant interfaces and interactivity to the end user. especially so if they can't understand what works best client side and what belongs server side. plenty of room for specialists out there, though you aren't going to get a very good one for $20 an hour.
the witch hunts didn't happen in the middle ages, it was the begining of these modern times of enlightenment and science that brought them on (random link pulled from google, you can find better ones if you look)
http://www.gendercide.org/case_witchhunts.html the witch hunts didn't get into full gear until around 1550. you could also add in things like 'preserving the last embers of writing and knowledge through the dark ages', 'reintroducing the writings of aristotle that had been lost to the west by translating arabic sources', 'incorporating the teachings of jewish and muslim philosphers into church doctrine' and other scholarly pursuits to your christian game.

it does provide data for people to look at and possibly derive some insight out of, probably not about anything relating to knight's tours or whatever. just like how many insights into the way things work come from observing nature i think that it's possible to find a few nuggets of gold hidden in amongst all the reams of data. wolfram's early cellular automata work was based pretty much off of brute forcing simple systems and then taking things from there. but in general i agree with you, the solution of problems by brute computational force alone isn't of any more mathematical interest than counting beans, but i think that it can provide an overall view of a problem that can lead to a deeper insight that can be applied to something larger than whatever pattern you've got the computers crunching at the moment.
yeah, a lot of the things that turn out to be of amazing practical use to non mathematicians happened to come out of the peculiar obsessions of various mathematicians, mersenne primes are mighty handy things to know about but were once just one of the many mathematical curiosities that mathematicians poked around at when they had too much time on their hands (and they also seem to defy pretty proofs and rely on brute force number crunching to discover or not discover if there is actually a limit to them, which is why finite though large problems like the magic tours are good candidates for brute forceing, since you can just get it solved and over with)and most of the discoveries that we owe to pythagorus come more from his weird mystical thinking about the nature of number than from any desire on his part to develop patentable techniques for industry.
multiple modes of inquiry are a good thing, if we judged everything from standards of immediate practical application we'd miss out on a lot of the good and practical things that number crunching for the sake of number crunching and pondering for the sake of pondering have given us.
except for my completly origonal composition in z flat major/minor in 3.1419/42 time for the dildophone with me rapping over it in a language which i invented especially for this song...
seriously though, one of the ways i've heard about a lot of older music was through people sampling/covering/remaking it later (a lot of people i know got into james brown after they found out that clyde stubblefield was the drummer that was sampled on so many songs they liked,etc) and the way things are now people have to hide their tracks out of fear of being sued. now you just get someone makeing a beat as close to the origonal as possible without getting sued and then keeping their mouth shut about where it came from. lots of sample cd's are aimed at this so that the traces are completely erased, the artist gets nothing and his fans who are paying tribute to him can't even mention it.
