Art does not belong to the artist? That's ridiculous. If I create something, I have the choice to keep it, copy it, sell it, patent it, copyright it, whatever, it's mine.

Well no shit. However, a painting is more than just a single color, or an arrangement of different colors.

Are you against the ownership of cars because no one can own the element iron?

I think you are either confused or being deliberately obtuse by confusing physical objects (statues, paintings, etc.) and IP (the force, maybe musical recordings).

Whoops, I meant Europeans and Native Americans.

It's more fun when you are a kid. Just like playing house or cowboys and indians. I can't believe I'm explaining this.

Woah, someone didn't get take their nap today.

Right on. It all depends on what you want to use it for. For anything other than audio recording, an on-board card is just fine.

If you want to build a recording studio or record your band, you MUST get a separate card. After recording 16 tracks that 60Hz hum and other line noise from your power supply and other random interference really adds up. A decent sound card makes a HUGE difference.

Also as a side note: yes, don't buy Monster speaker cables, there is no difference. However, if you are a musician, their XLR and 1/4 in. cables cost twice as much as a cheapo but have a LIFETIME guarantee. I've spent about $100 on all my Monster cables (for a bass rig) and I'll never have to buy another one.

I'm from the US and every ATM I've ever used lets you choose between checking and savings.

A. Less people buy the tickets and you make less money.
B. Far less people buy the tickets and you lose money.

I'll never understand why "scalping" is illegal in the first place.

Nothing they did seems unethical or immoral to me.

If people are willing to pay more for a ticket, good for them.

Uh, yeah. Nothing has happened?

I'm a full time bass player (I play with my fingers, no pick) and my callouses are pretty impressive. Every once and a while I'll get a blister under them and have to bite em off. They're about an 1/8th inch thick and I can see my finger prints just fine. Not sure what the summary is referring to.

I think this is more along the lines of what we should be doing. Anything that makes for less troops is a good thing.

I'm pretty sure it's just anecdotal. I'm not really sure why you would want to actively throttle the fps, it's probably not an issue. Think "Oh, look, it's running at 60 fps."

I've never understood why it matters that it was painted with thermite. I don't care what it was painted with, it was the hydrogen that blew it up.

I didn't. They were considered extinct by 1960.

Yes, and it's already in progress. They were considered extinct by the 1960's and now there are a few packs in northern Wisconsin.
