    How did parent get modded up?

    Accusations of Americentrism always get modded up (or otherwise lauded) on the internet.

    It's been done. Liam Howlett (of The Prodigy) and Robert del Naja (3D of Massive Attack) did the music.

    I wonder why. That's not a new thing, although my current pbg4 does require me to wiggle my external mouse to come back from sleep.

    What's the difference between an oboe and an onion? Nobody cries when you chop up an oboe.

    You wouldn't even need a list. Just filter by the first three bytes (manufacturer).

    Not Since Carrie might need a new edition after that one closes.

  11. Re:I never saw this one coming... on The Princess Bride Musical · · Score: 1

    At least Evil Dead has the camp feel of something like "Cannibal, The Musical". There have been worse. Stephen King's Carrie. Rocky. Lolita. Prettybelle,. Flowers for Algernon (wtf?).

    But there's STILL stuff that gets past the watchers and gets shoved into an article for weeks. It's bad as trying to keep a handle on GNAA.

  16. Re:Editorial control on Nitpicking Wikipedia's Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure his point was that they could be scribbled over by a six year old with no idea what he's doing. From looking at the histories of various Wikipedia articles, this happens on a regular basis.

    Overzealous hunting of mechanical license violators, nonpayment of royalties, etc.

  18. Re:Music Industry? on Music Labels Charge Too Much For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Bad analogy. I don't pay money to the rest of humankind to look after my interests. I only do that the US, Rhode Island, and town of Cumberland governments, and even then they do what they do under protest from me.

  19. Re:Music Industry? on Music Labels Charge Too Much For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Ah, so you are party to ASCAP's questionable practices, then.

  20. Re:Quotable quotes on Music Industry Threatens to Pull Plug on Apple · · Score: 1

    who needs a record label anyway? oh yeah no talent lip synchers and ignorant teens who 'get to be on TV' for the latest idol show.

    that's a crock of shit. a label, even a small one, will have people dedicated to getting records reviewed, advertised, manufactured, and sold to distributors. it doesn't happen by magic. it's hard enough for a team of experienced and dedicated people to do it, never mind doing all of these tasks while also working enough to feed yourself and lining up gigs and playing them. sure, it's possible to do this all yourself, but more likely than not, you'll end up with a bunch of unsold records sitting in your living room while you try to make ends meet.

  21. Re:Quotable quotes on Music Industry Threatens to Pull Plug on Apple · · Score: 1

    the purpose of a label is, in this case, to front the money for the production costs, promotion costs, and tour costs. it's a loan with no interest, and if you default you get dropped from the label! yay!

  24. Re:Is it a "real" database yet? on MySQL 5.0 Candidate Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, most of those features are in MySQL 4. The two big problems are: Lots of people still run MySQL 3.x, and these features only work for certain table types.

  25. Re:I agree with this analysis wholeheartedly :.exa on FBI Agents Put New Focus on Deviant Porn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ever read Ezekiel chapter 1?. Ezekiel sees something very strange, involving not rings, but wheels.

    "In appearance their form was that of a man, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved." ...

    "15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about [d] as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around."

    "19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels."
