The "passing notes" you describe appear to be grace notes.
Some of the markings indicate a turn rather than a trill.

The submission is an ad. True geeks aren't just about gadgets, but rather they focus on being knowledgeable in a particular field.

There were only 5 reviews of the Nokia, and some of the other "smartphones" were tablets. I don''t think the reviews on Wolfram Alpha were all that objective. Obviously Apple was embarrassed, but perhaps the weak results (lack of reviews) should have been filtered out rather than the brand (Nokia).

itwbennett writes "Geek advocate Wil Wheaton has written a blog post on the (legal) usefulness of BitTorrent, saying that the speed of his recent download of Ubuntu 12.04 should serve as a reminder that BitTorrent fills an important niche. Wheaton compares blocking BitTorrent to closing freeways because bank robbers could get away."

Pirate Bay Under DDoS Attack From Anonymous?-> 1

MoldySpore writes "If anyone has tried to get to The Pirate Bay in the last 24 hours, they have most likely been met with a timeout. As an article on TorrentFreak notes, only a week ago The Pirate Bay scolded Anonymous for it's attack on ISP Virgin Media, and now the site is currently the victim of a DDoS attack that is effectively keeping people from viewing the site. There is a lot of speculation as to whether this is retaliation from Anonymous, the work of an agency such as the RIAA and their associates, or an anti-pirate company such as PiratePay."

It is precisely the US gov't that you should thank for rectifying that situation. The rest of your post is equally baseless and ill informed.

Unblocking The Pirate Bay The Hard Way Is Fun For Geeks->

TheGift73 writes "Now that The Pirate Bay is being blocked by ISPs in the UK, millions of people have a new interest in accessing the site, even if they didn’t before. The reasons for this are simple. Not only do people hate being told what they can and can’t do, people – especially geeks – love solving problems and puzzles. Unlocking The Pirate Bay with a straightforward proxy is just too boring, so just for fun let’s go the hard way round."
