Mmm. I'm still bitten every day by pulse problems, hate it intensely. However, I can't hate lennart for it, because as near as I can tell, IF you can get a distro that's done the packaging correctly AND you don't run into problems, it's amazing.

I just think it's nuts that I have a key-stroke to call pulse-audio --kill

An aside: Am I the only one who always preferred the BSD userland to the GNU/Linux?

or the obvious lack of a story editor...

Expensify CEO on why he thinks Startups, startup programmers, and generally anyone in the YCombinator scene are better than you.

I'm curious, did you come to a conclusion? I'd download it myself, but we seem to have overrun their goodwill for the moment.

Unlimited access, and musician is anyone who makes music; They have to be the ones who are putting the music into their system (or their publishers/producers/record labels... if the publisher/producer/record label screws them, it's unfortunate, but also status quo. This kind of system would likely create more indie artists, which could be good or bad, who knows), otherwise it's illegitimate piracy.

Now this, is interesting. Boy do I wish I had mod points.

This could be workable; But only if I get to dictate to SOCAN to whom my dollar goes. I don't want to fund Justin Bieber's haircuts, I want to fund the bands I want to hear more of.

Like that's going to happen.

... no, what happens on the internet is mostly porn.

Oh wait. They're file sharing porn.

\me shuts up.

A big problem.

So is this better or worse then, for obscure artists? Are they going to monitor people's downloading to ensure proper distribution? Or is SOCAN just going to flat rate distribute to all it's members? Neither seems tenable nor acceptable (of course, I've a beef against SOCAN ever since they started going after coffee shops).

Perhaps; But hasn't iTunes already done most of that? Or am I alone in finding that iTunes is far easier than piracy? Hell, I like iTunes better than piracy because I can hope that at least some of my money gets to an artist.

Wow, is this how desperate the music business is? Hell, as an artist I'd be pissed; I'd much rather get money from fans willingly, than from everyone by force.

Seriously, how does this make sense?

It's called Wipeout.

And yeah, it's passable for a half hour.

I'm with you. I even like the white! Seems to work better too.

Damn I wish I had mod points.

Hear hear!
