It won't be cheap, but you can do better. Double paned glass helps. Did you insulate the floor? Did you double wall insulate the rooms? There's about a million things that can be done, but it has to be done right or you won't get anywhere. Look into a book called Home Recording Studio: Build it Like The Pros. It's a little over the top, and not quite 100% applicable to this purpose, but if you follow that, and you still have issues, than you have to move, but I highly doubt that you'll still have issues if you do it right. (An example of "right" in this context is ensuring that you do NOT fasten everything to the studs, because in doing so you are transferring the sound through the studs and basically bypassing any insulation you've created, but this is a very complex setup to achieve, so do your homework well.)
I don't believe small claims courts have the authority to make injunctions, but IANAL. That being said, talk to a lawyer friend or a paralegal or someone like that, and check. If you can get an injunction based off of small claims, than certainly go that route.
Just because a very smart individual showed us logic stating that it's impossible does not mean that it truly is impossible. That being said, I do believe that he is correct, I'm merely pointing out that there have, in the past, be vetted scientific theories that have been disproven and people had their world turned upside down on certain topics.
To add to that argument, whatever happened to the sound barrier being an impossible breaking point? (yes, apples and oranges, we had things that had broken the speed of sound (bullets), but still, it's worth noting.)
I'm sorry, but you seem to be full of sh*t. Age of consent in Canada is 16, with close-in age exemptions. 14-15 can be with someone up to five years older than themselves. 12-13, two years older. So a 15 year old could have sex with a 20 year old without any risk of prosecution to either party, while a 13 year old could have sex with a 15 year old without any risk of prosecution to either party.
At least that's my understanding from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent (control/command f Canada to find it quicker). And I have to agree with Dishevel, auto-rape is just too funny a concept to not laugh at.
The film was at best a superficial introduction to characters that missed out swathes of story, and appeared to run out of budget half way through (or maybe never had any at the start!).
Production on the 1984 release of Dune technically started over a decade earlier (although it was halted, studio's rights ran out, rights were sold to another studio, writers dropped out, etc) and then was a 4 hour epic, before post-production effects, so they cut more than a butcher does in a year, and rewrote scene after scene after scene until it was as short as it is. That's (IMO) mostly why it feels half-assed.
as for the Wachowskis, let's not get carried away, remember The Matrix Reloaded? Cause I wish I didn't...
I would think so. American English is going to be more accurate in McDonald's than some upscale French restaurant or some Mexican place, or, for that matter, most other fast food chains. In my area (where there are a large number of non-English speakers and poor English speakers), McDonald's always seems to have someone who speaks the language fluently behind the counter. I can't say the same about Burger King, Taco Bell (although I'd be upset if I could about Taco Bell), Wendy's, KFC/A&W, or any of the other fast food places nearby.
If you paid attention to the grandparent's post, it read, "they too can be an astronaut and president." (emphasis mine). I can't say I disagree that the custom of "everyone [is] number one" is rather stupid. In my experience, it tends to lead to the entitlement mentality which, again, tends to lead to individuals who think that they "ARE going to be an astronaut or President" just because that's what they think they want. Forget that people have to work hard to do these things, people have the mentality that it's their right.
Um. Even if you didn't pay attention and didn't understand that you could build them yourself, you're embarrassing yourself by not even reading my comment. I flat out stated that, A. I plan on donating once I have started making money off of it (IE using it professionally), B. That I have no problem using the beta binaries that they build and are public, and C. that I have no problem using the binaries found in my repositories.
Oh, and this is how all this software gets sold anyway. You don't get a free trial version (except with Reaper) and you typically shell out hundreds for a proper version. Ardour is asking for any non-zero donation. I think that's a little more reasonable.
Hasn't this been going on in a way with Ardour for a long time now (ie a couple years I think)? If you go to the downloads page you will find that you can't download it for free until it's made it's financial quota for the month (which it never seems to). Of course, I don't mind, as I'm fine with the beta packages that are built or using the binaries in my repository, but as soon as I start doing some actual work with it (still just getting the lay of the interface and such), I'll donate.
I was always taught 10 and 2, as 9 sends your driver-side hand into a door and your passenger-side hand into, well, a passenger should you have one, whereas 10 sends your driver-side hand towards the corner of the car (generally the most space available), and passenger-side more upwards than towards the passenger. At least that's what they were teaching in drivers' ed the better part of a decade ago.
And these are not points I'm arguing. In fact, I agree with everything you've said. I'm arguing that the artist deserves the right to hold a limited monopoly on their work and control the distribution thereof.
Did some magical entity tell you that that is a fact?
Okay. Fuck that. No one deserves payment for anything they do. You're a coder? Code for free. You're IT in a major corporation? Do it for free. You're a mechanic? Fix my car for free. You don't like it, too bad, you're arguing for it.
You want my honest to flying spaghetti monster opinion? If not, feel free to ignore my comments, but if you respond, at least read what I'm saying unlike the majority of responses on this topic. The vast majority of people are trying to do something they enjoy doing and get paid for it, whether it be get paid a fortune, or just enough to scrape by. If you ask me, than I think that fact that musicians make money these days is a shit ton better than living your life as a well respected individual who can't afford to even pay for more than a modest funeral.
I'm starting to think that, when it comes to IP law, Slashdot is almost as bad as the creationists when it comes to evolution.
I don't believe most people are debating the specifics of "IP" law, but that they're giving their opinions about it. Therefore, it has nothing to do with being factually correct.
So, according to you, having an opinion that is based on nothing or incomplete assumptions is valid? I bet, if I were to search this site alone, I could find posts from you arguing that people are idiots for that very thing! The hypocrisy here is unimaginable.
Sure people are not debating specifics, they saying that IP law shouldn't exist at all, and I'm sorry that they feel that they're entitled to know whatever someone comes up with, or listen to whatever someone comes up with, or read whatever someone comes up with, or take the medicine that someone comes up with, without paying that someone some due.
Not that I give a rats ass about mod points, but there was a time when someone who voiced a decent dissenting opinion with decent arguments would at least be modded interesting. Now all that happens is someone who does that gets flamed or modded flamebait or troll.
I think, sad to say, that, because I'm on slashdot for this argument, as your sig so blatantly points out, I'm arguing with children, or at least individuals who hold the mindset of children when it comes to this argument. Because, from my end, any time I raise any point other than something along the lines of, "Intellectual Property wants to be free," I'm the enemy, but the same famed (paraphrased) statement continues, "Intellectual Property also wants to be expensive."
No. A coder is paid up front. An Ironworker is paid up front. A driver gets paid at the end of the trip. A farmer gets paid before I eat it.
A musician gets paid a loan, and then gets fucked over by the RIAA and then, people like yourself, who are seemingly inherently jealous of the fact that they have creative talent, fuck them over as well. Frankly, good sir or madam, fuck you and your philosophy on people who create things making nothing in the way of money and being ignored the entire way through. You can fuck off and realize that the slashdot community has, in no small part because of yourself, lost some perspective by driving individuals like myself away. You and those like you, who are resentful of those who care about the creative process should move to China and respect their lack of copyright laws, or being a fucking (wo)man (as applicable) and respect that there are people who hold a separate opinion from yourself and deserve to be able to express themselves without having to worry about the fact that the people around them hate what they have to say.
If you fucking bothered to read what I wrote, you'd see that I don't agree that copyright should last as long as it does, but no, you think you know better than to read an actual argument that disagrees with your standpoint, and, therefore, show that you have no fucking will or intellect, merely a high and mighty point of view. Frankly, I consider you as low as the god damned fundies who disbelieve evolution because they refuse to even consider it. You can fuck off.

I'm wondering about this too. I haven't bought, nor do I plan on buying an iPhone, but it'd be nice to have it be open like they claimed it'd be...
****post destroyed by paradox****
Read the thread? This is Slashdot, I'm surprised he read the summery!
Here I was believing it was 42! Damn those politicians and their misleading ads!

Apologies. Missed the tense from "made". I still think the current exemptions in Canada are better than anything the US has.

I hate that things are always video now and I'm only 25. Does that make me old?

That's a great question, and one I would ask Derek to ask when he's at Enyo HQ.
Nothing like saying the most corrupt state in the country is uneducated. They know which side the bread is buttered on...
Seen the Honda/Acura NSX? 2015 is the alleged model year for it...
I would think so. American English is going to be more accurate in McDonald's than some upscale French restaurant or some Mexican place, or, for that matter, most other fast food chains.

For Doom?! Are you kidding me!? The system requirements were a 386 with 4MB of RAM.

Musicians deserve payment
Did some magical entity tell you that that is a fact?
