Yet more energy being poured into "it'll only play on this system for that amount of time if your blood group matches X and your eyes are blue" schemes.
All we want is a way to buy and download music we like at realistic prices (not the CD gouge) which we can then play where we want, when we want.
Worried about pirates? WELL ITS GOING TO HAPPEN WHATEVER YOU DO until you directly pump the stream into friggin DRM cochlea implants. Fact is not all of us wanna give away what we buy.
So many of us CRAVE the convenience of an OPEN pay-then-download system but they JUST DONT GET IT... instead they want the ka-ching every time you even think of THEIR chord progressions.
Damn that, heres a business model for you:
1. Try keep 20th century business model in
a new age of media connectivity
2. Piss off users with half arsed schemes that
irritate and frustrate users who just want
freedom with their music
3. Users turn to new forms of entertainment
including music generation/production
systems that put more power into a laptop
than you found in an average studio 10 years
back
4. Regrowth of interest in local/open talent
rather than the slops the "industry"
chucks at us
5. PROFIT - no maybe not, but maybe fame
at least for developers of music software/
instruments/tuition enabling individuals
to capture and share their creativity.
We're nowhere as close to step 5 as we could be. EG: music software can still be a PITA to setup and use - but over the years we've had small revolutions like Band In A Box, ACID, Hammerhead which have made making music, noise or just stopming out a basic beat more ACCESSIBLE. More development is needed in this area to help bring the music we like OUT of us (or our friends) rather than having it dished up.
Want another example? How many of you use a scribe to get your blog articles written? What about a typing pool? Sure we dont all write masterpieces but we can all have our voice (as soft as it can be amongst all the noise) but thats where systems like google come in.
Now lets just do the same thing for music.
Yep true. I know one compiler that used "thunks" (small sections of runtime generated code) to make multiple inheritance as efficient as single inheritance code (the Zortech C++ compiler).
Probably what I was thinking of.
How does this affect C++ compilers that generate vtables of class function pointers?
Does that mean we'll all need new compilers (or updated run time libraries), not just an API call that we'd only use if our code actually needs to execute from mallocated memory?
Look! Its Polymorphic!
How about coming back to my Private Function? Why dont you bring your Friends for some Multiple Inheritance?
Before I could Stream, she ended up Overloading my Operator... what an Exception!
In the end, she was just too Abstract.

oops, different flavour of jam

... when the cinemas have this system and the pirates film them with their hidden camcorders.

One could say the cat's got their tongue!
If the microwave cavity could have *such a low* "impedence" that it absorbed/dampened EM energy within, would it cool whatever was inside?
Maybe with superconductors...
