This reminds me of Civ 3, where your advisors would tell you stuff like, "Let's work on discovering the alphabet! Then we can learn how to write and do mathematics!"
Wow! Everyone and their dog must have gotten mod points today (I know I just did). Pretty much everything has 4's and 5's, even way down here. Hmm. Now to prevent myself from getting -1 Offtopic... uh, I'll add that that quote was originally by Colonel Nathan Jessep in "A Few Good Men." Yeah, that ought to do it.
Haha, yeah that's true too... I think it was on there I saw one guy bodyslam his friend off a roof and onto a wooden table. Both seemed to suffer great pain afterwards.
Right, we know this, because the top musicians in the world are not those who play blindfolded at concerts and so on. But that's not the point; if you are a grad student at Julliard, then show us what you can do. Just, of course, make it video game related, and maybe the next/. front page news will be you instead of this guy and his "stage-tricks".
It seems most of the comments here are simply claiming this to be an ordinary, if not trivial feat. Which admittedly, if you are a long-time pianist, isn't entirely out of the question. But even if his playing isn't phenomenal, it it still quite unprecedented for someone to play some piano and be recognized on ebaum's world and the other such sites. So maybe you don't think he deserves to be on/.'s front page, months after his appearance onto the web (I don't think its timely at all), but if you can't do it better than he can, don't claim its trivial.
Stargate SG-1 reference? 8x06-Avatar I think was the episode. A chair that "shot back" at the user./me is a Stargate fan, and may just be seeing Stargate references everywhere though.
Is parent really that insightful? Granted, this was not the greatest article ever posted, and the link's title was fairly misleading, but taken holistically, this article was very correct in pointing out:
Perhaps the most important interesting product they had on the show floor was the world's first XPC based on Intel's BTX standard.
IMO, this was informative enough, and well worth the read, as I am both a shuttle owner and interested in the future of BTX.

Wait, his personal homepage, serving up massive amounts of large image files, is still alive!? Whoa...
Actually, shouldn't Microsoft WANT to take these guys out? They're exploiting a loophole in WMA, and are further perpetuating the fact that Microsoft's method of DRM isn't nearly as secure as they make it out to be (not necessarily for the music files themselves, but instead for the user sitting in front of that computer running Windows).

Swing and a miss!
Don't burst his bubble there :)

If only I had the karma to mod you down...

Wow. Are the people modding up parent the same people who find "How-To" papers on making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to be useful information?

That was informative!? People must have way too many mod points these days...

Whoops, forgot to add this: why would you pirate wma files in the first place, when DRM (and now this) is a distinct possibility?

laser beam overloads, or laser beam overlords? :)
Cynical, and blatant promotion of the company you work for :)
Yes. Because Europa had mobile phone users 5 years ago.
