    Sure sure there cop. Why don't you and the boys go down to the gym and pump each other, err I mean ....

    Thanks Fletch!

    I think what they are trying to say is that United States Health Information Technology is exactly that. United S.H.I.T.

    Maybe that depends on who you ask. I am sure many companies will love this.

    That is changing. Thank God!

    In the spirit of embracing both viewpoints, have you considered that a lack of efficiency in government is no mistake? One could speculate that the government is as it is simply to ensure their own success. Not saying I think this, but it is the other side of your argument I suppose.

  6. Re:Too bad, so sad on Diebold Election Audit Logs Defective · · Score: 1

    I agree on the point of the new party. I like Obama, voted for him, and so far he has only disappointed me a little bit. There are some issues that fall on the Republican side of the isle that I agree with, but there is not 1 person in that party that I can bring myself to support. I wish the real conservatives would break off and form a true conservative party, leaving the southern racist and religious white elite parties to its own.

    I guess the other side of this is that maybe I am naive. Maybe there is no separating the two. If that is the case then where is my representative? (S)He doesn't exist in the Democratic or Republican party.

  7. Re:It's pretty standard these days on Detecting Click Tracks · · Score: 1

    I agree. I almost posted the same thing. People here forget that if you play with the same musicians everyday for 5, 10, 15 years, that you learn all the nuances and intricacies of those people and that is what makes a tight band. Lots of people can play, some can even keep good time. But there is NO replacement for really getting to know someone musically. The whole job of the drummer/bassist is to keep time and build the solid foundation of the song. Including a steady tempo.

  8. Re:It's pretty standard these days on Detecting Click Tracks · · Score: 1

    That is just Lars Ulrich though. That is to be expected. Go to a Krisiun, or a Slayer show if you want to see the album songs performed live. I knew guys who made drum tacks on Metallica albums. It is a shame, I know, and a disappointment to the fan. The problem here is Lars sucks where many other drummers don't. James should have recognized this and not allowed his band to make recordings that they band cannot play. When we recorded, we were always aware of what our limitations were and created the albums so that they can be played live. They probably lacked in terms of what people say is a good album, but they were true to what 4 people can do with instruments.

  9. Re:It's pretty standard these days on Detecting Click Tracks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I played in a band and put out 6 albums. We did exactly what you said instead of using a click track. We isolated all instruments in sound proof chambers and just recorded the drums. The drum tracks became that reference. The advantage of this was that the whole band played the song together and the drum tracks reflected that. Then the other instruments laid their parts over top after the fact. We could do punch ins and make good use of digital editing equipment and software. Worked out rather well in my opinion.

    I am likely wrong, but I thought there was no rule that said a company had to license a patent to another company. So, not sure how that discriminatory licensing charge would hold up.

    Just so you know, I am pretty sure no one listens to April Wine anymore. Although, if you post that, 'Harder' and 'Faster' maybe some will listen.

  19. Re:woo on Microsoft May Be Targeting the Ubuntu Desktop · · Score: 1

    I don't really forget. I think adding a browser and an email client falls under "owning" the market. I am sure they can do lots of nice things with current tech as far as windows is concerned. I was kind of talking about them using their might to advance a new computing paradigm. Whatever that is....
    I get that their hands are tied in many ways. Unfortunately there are rules, and even the companies that are wildly successful have to follow them.

  20. Re:woo on Microsoft May Be Targeting the Ubuntu Desktop · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If Microsoft would put half the effort into R&D that they put into "owning" the market they would crush everyone. I cannot believe that a company with their resources cannot come up with great new ideas in computing. They are being threatened by a bunch of "kids in their moms basements?" (I know that is BS) Really? If that is true then it is time for them to move aside.
