it's 120 years of electronic musical instruments...
For example, Steve Reich's Pendulum Music is pretty much electronic music, but doesn't involve an electronic musical instrument.
The article also considers 3 tonal pieces and 1 atonal - I don't see how you can come up with a conclusion based on just one piece either, when you don't consider other atonal music with more "regular" structure...
There isn't also just atonal and tonal, music from other parts of the world surely "speaks" to people from other countries, otherwise we'd have all ended up with the chromatic Western system today.
Tried AMS-Tex? It's plain TeX, so there's less typing, and you can create matrices and the like by \matrix 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 \endmatrix
Much easier...

The balloon thing I think will be stationary, and it won't be so high so it causes problems for the towers...
Even better, muck around with VLF/ELF radio. You can hear much more interesting stuff than just the sky, like whistlers from thunderstorms for starters...
Check out vlf.it for some interesting stuff on VLF/ELF radio.
For some cases of proof solving, a human is often behind the scenes, and has reduced the number of cases that a computer has to check from infinity to say 10^25 or some other large, but finite number.
Computers nowadays can handle symbolic calculations and prove identities and likewise, but for identifying what is interesting to have proved or not, a human may still be there with interpreting that, no matter how sophisticated computers or software can get...
I think that there's little difference between the original OPENSTEP libraries and Cocoa - the only difference being some extra classes for managing internet connectivity (NSUrl and others). The real difference between OPENSTEP's dev environment and OS X's is structural, Cocoa uses XML property lists now and the build process is very different, rendering migrating projects backwards or forwards difficult.
And yes, OS X still uses Objective-C (amongst others) for programming...
Since it's using e-mail (don't know about encryption or methods of encoding), wouldn't it be rather simple to pervert the statistics in order to promote some software? A mass-mailing would be obvious, but if it's done properly it may look convincing...
Formatting textual output &/c, in TeX is a little more adaptable for a human being, as TeX and the actual, literal, written text are pretty much close.
However, for music, most musicians are most comfortable with writing music down in conventional music notation. Conventional music notation, in comparison, compared with LilyPond input are far apart. It's somewhat comparable to painting with a typewriter.
I don't really find much wrong with Lilypond itself, but I don't think it'd work too well for manual input. But coupled with a decent GUI input mechanism, it would work well.
I don't understand why Lilypond aims to go back to having a proprietary textual format for typesetting music. Most people, I'd imagine, would want to typeset music graphically, as it's just more intuitive that way (I mean, I'm guessing that, for example, getting two voices per staff would be easier in a GUI system than having to manage the text input).
Why, oh why isn't there legislation to make this sort of thing illegal? Phishing is basically fraud, and if there was a chance that some action could be done, then these phishers would not be tempted to pull such a stunt, since they would know that there would possibly a lawsuit/jailtime behind this...
It's hard not to upgrade when commercial software (which, yes, most people still) gravitates towards being bloated and resource-inefficient, when hardware companies tout their new products as the "Next Great Thing", when Joe and Jane Bloggs users want to upgrade because they think that it'll make their computer experience less crash-worthy and more fantastic...
And all these companies who depend on hardware upgrades for incoming cashflow still need to stay in the black. So I don't think a computer recycling-culture is going to develop any time soon, until the alternatives become a little more well known.
Of course copyright is important and necessary, but this agreement aims to extend copyright from +50 to +70 years, also with some other associated strings.

But not all girl geeks are straight, dammit!

Does this mean FreeBSD beat NetBSD to a motorcycle port? "Of course it runs NetBSD...except if it's a motorcycle"?
Truly, we need space inflatable jumping castles. Inflatable space stations? Bah!
All good software has comments... Someone should patent the comment! They'd make a mint from patent infringement...
I know, it was a bit of a pseudo-rhetorical question ;)
Great. Then spammers will go and peddle their links on the other Wiki pages.
Jimbo Wales: the man behind Wikipedia, a free, open-content, online encyclopedia?
Did "Did They Read It" read it?
I believe I remember reading somewhere that the same sort of vector/clustering calculations are used in face recognition software?
Just goes to show how solid math/calculations can have some useful applications!
How about open, realtime editing, creation, correcting, and updating of free, GFDL'd textbooks? It's already here: check out wikibooks.
No, Mac OS X's kernel isn't Mach, it's XNU. Mac OS X's core operating system is called Darwin, which has a lot (but not all) of it open source.
"NextOS" doesn't exist, but Mac OS X is somewhat derived from OPENSTEP, from NeXT.

Anyone know of a GUI frontend to Lilypond?

I believe the Australian changes are meant to be retrospective.
