Well, I guess I wasn't quick, but Swan Song and Waxtrax come to mind. I can think of a few more, although they aren't as strongly associated with favorite albums: Geffen, Atlantic, Self Immolation.
I can only do that with one band, Fugazi. I know they are on Dischord records. But any of my other albums, if someone held it up and said, "What label is this on" I would have no idea. I guess knowing that kind of info was not something I was really into.
I hate to see The Beatles lose, but let's face facts: If you could possibly confuse the two, you're likely too dumb to appreciate The Beatles' music and too stupid to figure out how to turn on a computer.
Quick! Name the label for one of your favorite, non-Beatles albums. I'd bet you can't do it.
Labels don't promote themselves to the buying public. They promote their products (the bands). How many people even know who Apple Corps is? I would imagine only the hardcore Beatles fans who make it their business to know every details of the band's history. I've been listening to the Beatles for over 25 years, but I had never heard of Apple Corps until the last legal altercation they had with Apple Computer.
Well, there are four criteria to determining if something falls under fair use. What do you think?
From the copyright.gov web site:
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include --
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
when was the last time you saw Windows bluescreen?
Three months ago. I was working on a laptop for someone at work. It was a reasonably recent install of WinXP Pro. We figured it out but I don't remember what was causing it.
However, in my experience blue screens are rare these days. I think it was more than a year before the last blue screen that I had seen one.
I use foobar2000. I migrated to it after almost eight years of Winamp usage once I noticed that Winamp don't support Unicode.
Plus foobar2000 is the first player I have found that has an interface that looks like all of my other programs. All of the other media players look like some amateur art student trying to reinvent a UI (and failing miserably). foobar2000 has a tabbed interface with separate playlists in each tab which is nice. I like the sparse interface. Some people hate it, although if you are willing to invest the time there are a lot of ways to customize it to make it look much nicer. foobar2000 is nice and fast too, at least until you try to seek through a MP3.
I keep my files on my Linux server. I have a raid array with a LVM volume called music with MP3 subdir (as opposed to other subdirs like C64-SID and AmigaMods). I then have the following broad directories:
Audiobooks
Classical
Comedy
Folk, Ethnic, & World
Jazz
LargeSets
Miscellaneous
Other
LargeSets is for DJ Mixes and other MP3s that are over an hour long. If I have more than two items from a DJ or artist I create folder with their name and put the files in there.
All of the other directories have a subdir and file structure of artist/albumyear-albumname/nn_trackname where nn is the tack number. I find this method to be easy for me to drag and drop music into a playlist to play. I never have gotten used to the iTunes method of importing everything that you have.
One thing that I am going to focus on over the next several months is to sort albums and artists out by more broad genres as I have already done. Eventually I will go back through all of my songs and set the genre for each song. Right now I'm giving each album the same genre rather than tagging each song with the genre that that specific song falls into.
Yeah, and they don't work correctly. Just yesterday I was helping a person at work with their code. They had a Java program that was doing an LDAP query. It worked fine on other machines but not on one of the test machines. Turns out some JRE called Kaffe was in the path before the Sun JRE. Changing the path to the java executable fixed things.
If that's true, it's nice they saw fit to kick back a patch.
Are you being sarcastic? I'm sure the OpenBSD people did submit the patch. However, the XFree86 people were notorious for ignoring patches and doing their own thing. It was that, combined with the license change, that made many X developers fork the last free version and make it the X.Org server. I'm sure there were many other good patches lost because of the XFree86 developer's attitudes.
Please note that this exploit is for the local user only. If you are the only user on your Apple or Nix box, then this is a non-news item.
That doesn't mean that you are safe. A vulnerability in another program could allow an attacker to gain access the system as an unprivileged user. Once on the system they could exploit the X vulnerability to gain root privileges.
If you don't like it, move to another country. If you don't like the laws of this country, nobody is stopping you from picking up and moving your college/business/home someplace else.
While you may find tucking your tail between your legs and running away from your problems a suitable way of life, many of us prefer to make an effort to change things for the better.
There is more to software development than the web. I think that you grossly underestimate just how pervasive Java is in the business world. It's powering more than applications than display data in a web browser.
The companies where you buy your electric power from provide this data, usually as some kind of feed on a web page, and I'm sure in a machine readable format as well. I know that during the summer our energy manager person in facilities will be watching this number change about every 5 to 10 minutes and will shed load via some method like turning down the AC to avoid peak. During the summer we generate about 50% of our electricity via a cogeneration unit that's powered by natural gas. That heats water to steam to handle the generation and the steam is recaptured and used in our absorption chillers for cooling the building.
I use the MOTU 828mkII with Adobe Audition and love it. You can easily record eight channels with it. The one I have uses firewire to connect to the computer but I see on their site that you can also get it with a USB 2 interface.
The only down side is that it only has two XLR inputs. If you need more then you should look at the 896HD which has eight XLR ins and outs. You can chain more 896's together to get more channels. I don't own one of these so I don't know how it compares to the 828.
I know what you mean. I used to work 7am to 4pm for just this reason. It's great to have almost two hours of quiet at work in the morning. That and you get to leave early enough to skirt by rush hour traffic.
As another poster said, Google didn't copy anything of Joan Miró's so there are no moral rights to assert. Google's work was original. In addition moral rights can only be asserted by the creator. Joan Miró is dead and therefore cannot assert any moral rights even if something was copied.
I know what you are trying to say but I still think that Theodore Feder has no idea what he is talking about and should speak with a lawyer.

You can start with the MusicBrainz codebase. The schema already supports albums, tracks, and annotations. You could extend it for your purpose to add lyrics. A daily dump of the database is available as is the source code to the server application.

That ad campaign needs some kind of mascot. Maybe an animal of some sort.

Yeah, I know. In a way that was my point.
