In America, there are only two sizes of anything available. "Huge", and "way over the top freaking enormous". Heck, even the size of the American model of Human is following that trend.

I want to clarify before I'm offended. Did you just call my momma fat?

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
Freedom is a well armed sheep contesting the issue.

I think the best part of getting older is that well done music from pretty much any genre sounds enjoyable. I seem to appreciate complex music more, and also appreciate artist skill & abilities more. My musical taste continues to widen, and thus I encounter "new" music all the time. I agree that there's very little new music from the studios that entice me. The dynamic range has been compressed to the point of sounding poor. The new independent music produced on a limited budget sometimes sounds just... so simple, unprocessed, and refreshing. The most recent discovery old music is of Django Reinhardt. Check out the wiki on him. Then listen to what he made a guitar do. The discovery before that was Tommy Emmanuel. Youtube him. So much good stuff. It's old but all new to me.

Amen. I would like to wrap an old mouse cord around the neck of every vendor that uses yearly licensing with keys. It seems to be the method of choice to leverage companies when licensing comes due. I understand and agree with a specific number of floating seats license and running a license server. But yearly? Come on.
