Cell phones do work on planes already. How do you think the people in the flight that crashed in pennsylvania figured out that their plane was going to go down?
Besides that ranting, airplane instruments are pretty much unaffected by consumer electronics, and if a gameboy or cellphone can take a plane down, I think there should be some serious investigation into the airplane technology industry! This is a ploy for money
First, perhaps if you read what I wrote, you would know what I was saying. And that is what the inferred point is, not the point that you did or didn't try to make. Unfortunately, you can't always control what your readers think.
Second, being the author of your piece doesn't invalidate my opinion, or what I've said. My experience in the area of making electronic music leads me to one of the ideas I presented, which is that I believe that electronic musicians utilize physical instruments a lot more than you believe. You said yourself that often times a musician will use a computer and not a piano. I am curious as to where you get this information. It also might be an interesting fact for you, that most all computer synths have piano programs integrated into them. But I'm done I guess.
Good point. Yet they are still being deceptive. I would be willing to bet that modern day music is more often composed at a piano than a computer, or both, or perhaps a guitar, but you get the point I'm sure, and it's trivial to get caught in semantics. The point that is inferred from the author's statement is most likely to be that more modern music is composed on a computer than at a traditional instrument, or by hand, and this isn't true. The author doesn't go out of his way to mention that musicians very often if not more often than at computers, will use pianos, etc... to compose their music.
The article says that all modern musicians make their music on the computer. Certainly, this is true to a certain degree for electronic musicians(techno and the like), though I dabble in this and I often find myself sitting at my Grand Piano when working on a riff. Computers play a large part in recording of modern music, but I think you'll find that physical instruments still play an enormous role in it.
perhaps we shouldn't speak of what quantum computing makes possible until quantum computing is itself feasible? people seem to make it out to be more than it is

If we demand that they change everything first, they won't. It seems, however, that they are willing to take steps, albeit small(or large depending on how you look at it), towards what many slashdotters want, Microsoft to participate in the open source community. We should respond graciously, and warmingly to this idea, so that when it is in place, and we are a part of it, we can start suggesting more changes. They won't leap yet, but they will take that small step, so I think it would be horrible to waste it.

Speak for yourself, not all religions/political views, please. I know people who politically and religiously believe that all forms of violence against groups are evil. I believe that it is wrong as well, but my human fallacies will lead me to accept wrongdoing as a solution to wrongdoing.

For my Junior Term Paper, my English teacher informed us that he would be using turnitin.com to check our papers. I have a fundamental disagreement with the way turnitin profits, which is by using the works of students to reference other papers. So I wrote a lengthy essay on my opinion in this matter, that I considered my works copyrighted and would not tolerate it being submitted to turnitin(whenever you check a paper there, that paper is automatically included in their database forever). He was sympathetic towards my beliefs. I think everyone threatened with turnitin(except of course idiots who are plagiarizing) should take this approach, and stop turnitin from profiting illegally from our papers.
Another problem is re-use of reports. If you give a paper on Sports Marketing to your gym teacher(I write reports for gym because I don't take it) and to your Economics teacher, and they both check it, it will come up as completely plagiarized.
"Yes, lots of Hezbollah Ted Kennedy lookalikes on suicide missions flying *away* from Washington DC."
You know, amazingly, that is not what I said, or implied at all. Not all people who would be a danger to an airplane are Hezbollah. With thinking as profound as yours, have you considered a job in the KKK? Just because someone is white, or looks like someone famous, doesn't mean they aren't a terrorist, or threat. And even then, it's not up to the people checking the lists and admitting them, they are doing their job, and if they make an exception, and on a tiny chance end up being wrong, they can lose their job, get sued, or even go to prison.
Don't feed your superiority complex by pretending I have one.:-P
Our Airline security system would be highly endangered if passengers were trusted because they were recognized as a senator. There are people who look almost identical to ted kennedy, I'm sure, who could also get fake licenses. They are following procedure, because if they do make an exception they will probably be fired.
The thing that gets me most about conservatives is "the thing that gets me most about liberals...." No offense, but get off of it. We aren't necessarily against the war or you because we think you are a greedy ignorant brainwashed misinformed person, or any derivative thereof. That would be like children fighting, ie "I hate billy because he's stupid!" The root of disagreement is opinion, which you conveniently left out of that paragraph. Sure, there are people on both sides happy to hop on and blindly disagree with the other side, or similarily, blindly agree with their side, and those people are the misinformed, ignorant ones. And saying what you did is in exactly the same class. Honestly, I respect your forthrightness and thoroughness in trying to prove your point, but your credibility falls when you lump every single person in a group as to having one specific belief that you describe.
P.S. "I'm aware of all the facts here" and "brainwashed" are phrases that should be used very carefully.
No on said it wasn't immature. Also, we aren't microsoft, or linux, or apple, we are the slashdot userbase. I, for one, don't support anything like one business calling another product a toy, but that doesn't mean that we should go make a broken windows icon.
proven future potential!??? What else do you see in that crystal ball?
On a serious note, if you are going to try to convince people of crazy things, don't talk about 'proven future potential' or railroading hopeless 'scientists.' This kind of reminds me of Wolfram's theory that everything is based off of Cellular Automata, in which he takes criticism as approval, and claims that those who disagree with him are not intelligent, etc.
