why thanks, it's always good to know some random person on slashdot knows better how to spend my free time on than I do. Perhaps I should instruct you on how to spend your free time?
If you don't like the music from Doom, fine. If you don't like the project we did, fine.
But saying we should've spent time on something else just because you don't like it, well... sorry you couldn't help posting that.
Yeah, getting a cease-and-desist from Bobby Prince is much more likely than getting one from Slayer/etc..
The difference with vgmusic was they hosted the exact copies of Bobby Prince's material whereas we are providing derivative works.
Ocremix has been around for years, and we've had derivative works of Doom music on the site for years as well.
Bobby Prince has shown no animosity to ocremix in the past and I see it unlikely he will suddenly have a change of heart with the release of this project. cheers.
I worked on this project, I was one of the coordinators for a while.
The music of Doom has been around for 10+ years and while some tunes bear a striking resemblence to certain Slayer/Pantera songs, the copyright holders have not taken any legal action against id or Bobby Prince.
So yes, I looked into that particular legal implication. It took me all of 2 seconds to realize we have little to worry about. cheers.
I'm guessing this is a buddy of someone on slashdot or VA, or they are paying for the advertisement.
well as one of the guys who worked on this project, I can tell you now, none of us know any of the slashdot editors.
I actually urged the project leader not to submit this story to slashdot -- because I've been here a while and I didn't feel this was slashdot material.
Looks like I was wrong! Maybe Hemos is a DKC fan:)
Hi, I'm one of the guys who worked on this project. (I did the ice cave track)
This project is not licensed. We didn't ask for permission. This is a project done by fans, for fans.
Nintendo is 100% within their rights to send us a cease-and-desist order if they choose to. However, Nintendo has shown no animosity towards such projects in the past and I suppose they won't show any towards this one either. But who knows? just enjoy the music.:)
3.3 Is there a OGG player The Tremor player is running at about 80% real-time. Apparently an update is on the way so hopefully that will provide some speed-up.
There was a CNN chat similar to that, but for Garry Kasparov, I impersonated him. The chatroom was filled, but the moderators were out to lunch. After I started talking about how silly Americans were, everybody figured I wasn't Gary:-)
Mr. Carmack, Releasing the source codes to classics such as Wolfenstien 3-D, Doom, and TED5, is what I admire most. Why not release the source code to all your old games in like an anthology? From Dangerous Dave, to Commander Keen 6? That would be rather cool.
Slashdot Mirror
Description:
Transitory phrase for incidental topic is ineffective.
Actual Result:
By the way, what have you done that's so great?
Expected Result:
One more thing... what have you done that's so great?
I could've imagined that coming from Steve Ballmer
Well given Microsoft's tendency to "borrow" from Apple, I wouldn't be surprised if candid Ballmer responses to customer emails became ubiquitous.
This video explains the effects of audio compression quite clearly, albeit the sound quality is only what YouTube can allow.

If you ever want to really irritate everyone around your computer...

Clearly Microsoft needs to go back to their old style of promoting Windows:

Uh huh huh huh uh uh huh uh huh

We recommend getting a BitTorrent client like Azureus that will allow you to only download the files you want.
cheers.

this guy seems OK with just calling it Ogg
ah, but what does that guy know?
3.3 Is there a OGG player
The Tremor player is running at about 80% real-time. Apparently an update is on the way so hopefully that will provide some speed-up.
I find that odd too. I was looking for it but it was not right there so I gave up.
5.1 Surround sound has a center channel... or is there something in your message I misconcieved?
Agreed, I attended the AES show in Los Angelos was just last week so that acronym has been on my mind.
Yeah you have, I remember reading about this in Newsweek a *long* time ago. Not that I'm complaining.
I hope it's as funny as that other survey they had a while back.

Actually that was 20 children (only 9 survived) between 2 wives. I don't remember which one had more children.
yeah, this really isn't NEWS because this is an old puzzle, but it's new to most of us. And furthermore, what 'nerd' doesn't play chess??
