OK, just re-read the article, and they used a grand total of four solo piano compositions to test this on. There is also a passing reference to jazz, but no mention if it is again solo on the piano, or anything else.
Of course, this all falls apart when you add more than one track to the mix, and for genres like hip hop what would you even test- the main part of the song is the language used.
Whereabouts in the bible does it say "and ye faithful shall not gaze upon or take part in scenes of horror"?
Calling horror and violence something foreign to the church seems a little off kilter- anyone remember the crusades?

There are still plenty of people making awesome, simple games that you can sit down at for 20 min and just have fun. Check out this guy's stuff, you'll never think of 2-D shooters the same way again.
I was under the impression that most of the people who routinely sent or recieved large attachments had a 'proper' paid email service, with more features than your average webmail. Will any of these new developments lure any of these people back into the land of webmail?
Always bleating on about "saving the environment" and "sticking it to the man". Here's a thought for you geniuses- where do you think the electricity needed to run your car comes from? Yes, thats right, from burning coal and dirty, radioactive nuclear fission. You would be contributing far less harm to the environment by driving a small gasoline car, and at the same helping America's economy.
All you traitors look at people driving SUV's and Chevy's with scorn, while the whole time increasing America's dependance on nuclear generated power. Did you learn nothing from Three Mile Island? Chernobyl? When the only places we have left to drive to are steaming, glowing craters in the ground I will know who to thank- those selfish enough to drive electric cars.
Viewing the internet on such a small screen is very possible, and is done successfully by hundreds of thousands of people around the world every day. If it is not usable on your particular phone, may I suggest purchasing a replacement?
Many cellular phones feature browsers that were created on a whim, as a way of beefing up the features list prior to going on sale. Most Ericsson phones for instance have very poor browser functionality. A lot of the new phones coming from Nokia and Sony are light-years ahead of the first primitive attempts. A word of advice though - stay away from imported asian phones, they may look flashy and high-tech, but any are designed to be used for as little as a month before needing replacement.
Of course, this being slashdot, home of the technically adept, I feel obliged to mention the ultimate way to experience the internet on a cellular phone - via linux. Of course, this way is not for the faint hearted, but those steadfast in their dedication to that plucky Swede's OS will find that the Kyocera 1080 is admirably suited for an ultra-light linux distro, with built in internet functionality. If only I still had mine, I could truthfully claim to be making this post by cellphone!
No, hold back your -1 troll mods, I don't mean that coathanger abortion of an idea that Microsoft has been diddling around with for a while, but a new kind of trust level for computer users. Say everytime a virus has to be removed from a Windows box because a user clicked an attachment a little value increments by one. Once it reaches 10 or so the computer starts throwing up helpful hints like "Don't click on things labelled 'Enlarge your Penii!', they can most likely not deliver on their claims!".
If it gets really high, eg 50 or so (your average AOL user) automatically turn on the Windows Firewall, and include a flag on every outgoing packet indicating that the user cannot be trusted to operate their computer in a safe fashion. Webmasters can then block traffic from these PC's at their discretion - Problem solved.
why would anyone want to buy, let alone pirate a Velevet Revolver CD? Truly they are the shittest, most over produced, revenant rock group in existence today. The only thing worse I could imagine is yet another Motley Crue reunion (shudder).
put the following code in a bookmarklet on your bookmarks toolbar, when it messes up just click and it'll fix it right up. It also works on other sites where tables/columns don't render properly.
I am one of those so called "trolls" who was banned outright after the rustina fiasco. I simply came to the site one day and found I could not post, moderate, read hidden comments or view material in the queue. All my (to date unused) alternate accounts were banned too.
The reason for this? To this day unknown. However from rusty's complete refusal to answer my emails, talk to me on IRC, or even talk to his editors about the loss of my account (neither of which could find any reason for banning in my posting history), I assume he thinks that I had some part in the posting of rustina.jpg.
At least slashdot offers some insight when you get banned (or bitchslapped). On k5 I just seemed to hit a stone wall and couldn't get past. Doesn't look like I'm missing much, the site seems to be in its death throes.
Where I come from, the consumer protection authority jumps all over companies who don't include fees like this in advertised costs. I bet sleazeballs like this charge a hefty early disconnection fee too...
When will the US learn that trying to remove the "mutual" from mutually assured destruction will earn the hostility of any number of military powers the world over?
I'm glad I live in a country that's not run by a power mad dictator with a hard-on for World War III.

Sure nobody can get a new account over there these days due to the IRS investigation, but that is no reason for a flamebait mod.
14 year old 1337-sp33king white boys living with their rich parents. The same people who will use these computers to play counterstrike with hacks on.
Unless you think Citizen Kane involved Ninjas and spawncampers, there is nothing wrong with that sentence.

I shudder to think what kind of conversation is analagous to old Bill Shatner's musical attempts.

This coming from the country with the highest rate of HIV inection in the world, and the most transsexuals per capita of any third world nation. Should we really be following their lead in FOSS technologies?
Anti-virus isn't the half of it, I'd be rocking several protective laters before even looking at the code for something from Brazil.

You'll also have to remove the spaces slashcode puts in there.
but the lack of gravity might put a slight damper on your plans there.
I assume the acronym means "what the fuck are you bleating on about".

Almost identical to the first and second posts, and yet this is the one that gets modded up. *Head Explodes*

I used to do this when I was five, I used it as a mousetrap. You'd have to have one huge camera to get enough power to knock a person down though...

I was planning to mod it as -1 Flamebait, but your closing argument convinced me otherwise!
Why would I want a computer with a smelly foot on it?
you may want to change your sig, k5 registration has been closed for weeks, with no sign of ever reopening.
