What I mean is, music, like wine, is an acquired taste.
True, yet early music should not be forgotten once your ear is trained. The music that you are so fond of today was built off of the music that you've 'grown out of'. The building procedure was hundreds of years long, but it is the foundation. I still love to listen to Haydn, Mozart, Shubert, Brahms, Smetana, and other baroque-early romantic composers as well as Crumb, Berg, Scrabin, and other modern composers (and everything in the middle, plus lots of jazz). What I love to do is explore both modern and CPP (common practice period) composers, and try to find any connections betweeen them. Its a wholistic effect (listening to one enhances listening to the other and vise-versa). Its good to not stray on one side of the musical spectrum. Here's an excerpt from a poem from the Tao that will hopefully reinforce my point.
When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy support each other. Long and short define each other. High and low depend on each other. Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the master acts without doing anything, and teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn't expect. When her work is done, she forgets it. That is why it lasts forever.
I have not listened to much Beethoven (aside from bits and peices in movies and such), so something like this is an excellent opportunity. Why? is it really too hard to spend money on music? or is a 5 dollar bargain cd of weiner philharmoniker too pricey
If anyone knows any places to legally download performances of other classics, please post them. http://www.itunes.com/
Now I am supportive of NASA's desire to make a safer shuttle, but sometimes it seems to me that they get too paraniod sometimes (in some ways though you can't be too careful when dealing with human lives...) How come these safety issues were overlooked during previous launches, yet almost all were successful. Only when a mission goes bad is when problems get 'discovered'. And the most confusing part is when safety problems arise, people begin to think that anything and everything that can go wrong will. Now I see that there is a difference between being paranoid and being careful, and it appears to me that NASA is the former.
Well i didnt RTFA so I dont know if this is a serious problem or not, but I do know of a great way to keep people from haking into my phones bluetooth. Don't use bluetooth! To me it seems very unnessesary to have a bt enabled phone. Just so long as I can talk to other people on my phone, then I'm happy.
Most importantly, however, the text message is time-shifted, whereas morse transmission is real-time. When the sender is done, the recipient is done also.
Verbally talking to somebody is in realtime also, and its no doubt faster than SMS and morse. It seems that people have forgotten this.

have you ever thought that WAR was a "wasteful and an inappropriate way to spend taxpayers' money"??
What would somebody with only $250 to spend on a .5tb raid have to fill it with?

Thousands of feet of free-fall.
Thats nothing new, people have been doing that out of airplanes for a while. To keep from plummeting to their death, they use a parachute.
