But artists like Aphex Twin (SAW 85-92 for example) were popular before the internet became the massive file-sharing place it is today. I'd argue that whole genres of music were created out of the internet, rather than the internet popularising it.
Ambient/IDM artists like Helios, BT, Solar Fields are products of the Brian Eno 70's and 80's, which created AFX and then led onto the ambient/techno, but EITS and Mogwai are post-rock and are more influenced by the more instrumental indie like Hex and Slint. That's my theory anyway.
That was the joke, my friend. Taking the first +5 comment from the previous story would have been stupidly obvious if I wished to exploit it for Karma. But don't worry, I've got Karma to burn.
EULAs are not meant to be read.
Seriously. Have you? Can you keep a straight face and tell me you read all those legalese crap? I didn't.
First of all, it can be summed up into "We may do everything, you may do nothing, essentially, you're a dork for using our software". And second, almost all of them violate our consumer protection laws.
If you willingly let yourself get photographed, and someone puts it up on Flickr with your name on it - how can you expect privacy? Same as if you are photographed walking down a street - where is the violation of your privacy?
As somewho knows something about Chemistry (going to the 2007 Moscow IChO), this idea is flawed. A high school chemistry syllabus is structered the way it is for a reason. I can think of several examples.
1. Chemistry is not all about elements, even at this basic level. For example, how will they teach acid-base chemistry? How will they teach gas laws? Even if this is just a small component of the syllabus, it is a waste.
2. There is too much of a gulf, knowledge wise, between the reactions that are listed in this RPG. For example - 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO . This is simple to explain, using an Ionic Bonding Model. But then, using similar cards, you have 2Al + 3O2 -> Al2O3. Now you have to teach valencies. Then you have H2 + Br2 -> 2HBr. Try explaining that with an Ionic bonding model (If you can, account for it's properties). Then, lets say they do do acids. Mg + 2H+ -> Mg2+ + H2 . But how do you then account for Au not reacting with dilute acid, whereas Mg will? At this level? How do you account for Mg + Cu2+ -> Mg2+ + Cu ? Teaching electrochemistry cannot be done at similar times to teaching a simple valence bond theory, but that is what will happen with this stupid solution.
My take - chemistry may be boring in high school, but so are most things. It's structed in a way that builds upon previous knowledge, and this guy is just hoping to make a quick buck off VC's with a product that is clearly not thought out.
Oblig. Futurama reference:
Fry: That could be my beautiful soul sitting naked on her couch if I could just learn to play this stupid thing.
[Bender stands up.]
Bender: Oh, but you can. Though you may have to metaphorically make a "deal with the devil". And by "devil" I mean "Robot Devil". And by "metaphorically" I mean "get your coat".
How much data is needed. Of course, it would be necessary to have this number in a useful units system. Perhaps, the number of Libaries of Congresses of Data?
I'm using Windows XP Pro right now. But I usually use OS X. Linux, specifically Ubuntu and Gentoo (the versions that I triple boot on this computer) don't cut it.
When some overclockers use sub-zero equipment, condensation becomes a big issue. With stuff like LN2, some OC'ers dump the entire motherboard into a non-conductive tray of oil. You could look into something like that.
... the question of whether your console might be costing you money while you sleep.
Ever thought of turning the damm thing off? Geeze, I don't want to troll, but why don't people just turn the thing off? It's not like it is crunching folding@home or anything that could justify 24-7 usage.

Actually, Kevin Rudd is Australia's smuggest, geekiest, and most awkward man.

It is the Muad'Dib!
I, for one, welcome the new EA/Bioware game - "Ballers Gate".

So, why bother wasting time?

Bender: Ahhh, what an awful dream. Ones and zeroes everywhere... and I thought I saw a two.
Fry: Don't worry, Bender: there's no such thing as two.

Can I get an insightful mod for nothing? Come on...
Cue the Masturbation jokes in 3...2...1...
Haha Brilliant. What would PgSQL do?
Possibly the greatest /. comment ever. Congratulations, you've been sigged.
With some creative accounting with help from Verizon, perhaps the 300B figure could be "manipulated" to minimize budget blowouts.
For those wondering, the Farnsworth in Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor is a television star, with numerous appearances in the hit cartoon series, Futurama.

Another +5 funny moderation.

I use http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ - it has everything I need. The ratings system is a welcome addition, and the forums and reviews are nice.
But it hardly helps. People are looking more and more at OOo after this kind of press.
