Lake Karachay?

I call bullshit on this. This couldn't be real Stallman. Where is the GPL'd source, huh?

He's dead, so his problem seems to be solved.

You're my hero. I browse with noscript, adblock, cookiesafe, greasemonkey, skipscreen and perspectives. They all together make the web more usable and somewhat safer.

If you run Debian, or a derivative, you can grab debian-goodies package, and use checkrestart. I use this command to restart whatever needs to be restarted:

$ sudo checkrestart | grep "/etc/init.d/" | sudo sh

Just remember to first check WHICH services is it going to restart. :)

We're talking about SQL. The world would end if the syntax wouldn't be different.

I was camping in a middle of a fucking forest with a herd of hippies, that's what I did.

So, how can you improve the quality of my life, mr. Gates? Can you give me a bigger forest? More hippies? Less villagers with pitchforks?

...in order to help humanity's evolution and thus save it from being destroyed/enslaved by an evil AI.

OK, cool, this is all very true. Would you care to roll out an extension that'd change the policy to something along what you've described?

You seem to be the dinosaur here.

A sustainer! :D

This is all true what you've said about all the techniques that you can use with real strings, and all of these things are almost exactly what I am missing when I'm playing piano (I started playing guitar long before keyboards). However, a piano is a very different instrument from a guitar, and has a lot of its own strenghts. Same thing with Misa.

You can hack this baby and make it do whatever you want. Duh.

That should be easy, shouldn't it? Two proximity sensors and a microcontroller to translate that to midi messages. Or maybe just send raw data via serial port and let a real computer chew it.
