yeah, my google story was rejected too, nah, this story about the open source lab is so much more interesting than the biggest search engine with 3bazillion webservers GOES OFFLINE FOR TWENTY FUCKING MINUTES.
Oh wait, hahaha there for a minute I thought I was reading a real news site, this is/.
Personally, I would find the aftermath of this hilarious:
Just imagine, millions of pampered New Yorkers and other fat, northern metrosexuals screaming and crying for their Sex and the City reruns and Christopher Loyd decorating tips, creeping over the pathetic "hills" in their $50,000 BMW SUV's with their 5 honor students in the back, screaming some indiscernible northern gibberish that amounts to "OMG I NEED our baby sitter back!!!oneone"
*Written as a proud member of the South. After seeing the hilarity that ensued in New York after the power went off in 2003 ( People wandering in a daze and acting like it was a huge drama ), I feel that Northerner's are way more retarded than Southerner's are made out to be.
Very well put, if I had mod points I would bump you up.
Something that I and a lot of people in the death metal genre are guilty of is kind of a 'blinder' effect. Chuck Schuldiner, Muhammed, Yngwie, Michael Romeo et al are what influences our genre, and it's kind of hard to step out of it for a minute and look at more mainstream alternatives. I for example play lead guitar in a technical metal band, and while I like NIN's music and respect Trent's talent, I don't view him as an influence because he doesn't affect my music at all.
Thinking about what you said though, you're definitely right about Muhammed, and even Yngwie and some of the other insanely talent guitar players, they just aren't accessible to a mainstream push. Which, is good, but is also bad at the same time. I don't know how I would feel about Hot Topic selling Necrophagist shirts:P
"For me, this guy is the most influential musician of the last 15 years."
haha, no no
Guys like Chuck Schuldiner of Death, Muhammed Suicmez of NEcrophagist, THOSE guys are influential musicians, pushing the envelope of music and instruments.
yeah, god no, I don't cold call people, you have to call me. They call that 'teleservices' instead of telemarketing, but really it's one big crapshoot.

Find out what she called for and call the ordering number. As soon as you get a rep, ask to speak to their supervisor. Supervisors are the only people allowed to give out the actual name of the company they are working for ( ie the telemarketing company ). At West ( where I work ), we're absolutely under no circumstance allowed to tell a caller that we work for West, but supervisors are allowed to say that. Ask the supervisor for the company name, and the direct line to that site. Call the direct line, and ask for the Account Manager for so and so product. They have to give you direct lines to the company , and from there you can bitch straight to the company and get removed from all their buddies lists.
The sad thing is, usually it's all one company split into little companies in order to keep spamming you and creating a run around to keep you on their lists. Hell, I found out that West actually owns Magazine Direct or something, so they're getting kickbacks from scamming people. It's a scam in a scam in a scam.
haha I'm not one of those types, I'm actually in a sales group, shit like the Total Gym, the Crossbar, the Katami bar, pretty much any exercise equipment that has a 1-800 number attached to it.

Being in the telemarketing industry, I can whole heartedly confirm the stupidity of most people. Hell, I can get someone's credit card, shipping address, and telephone number, and then they ask "oh, what was this product again??"
Flash some useless piece of shit on TV, get Chuck Norris to pretend like he uses it, and people will fall all over themselves to give you all their personal information. I bet I could even ask for their SSN on a Super Duper Blender call and they would cough it up.
