Uh, gee, there, don't forget about gold. Because you're trying to turn children into gold, right?

Just that I hope you're not dissing Alan Alda!

God, dude. Alan Alda has made significant contributions to the public understanding of science through hosting a show about it. He never plays the smart-ass, he's always unassuming and humble, and through that honesty (and by way of interviewing authorities on various subjects) he brings the most complex scientific concepts down to a common level that most people can understand. It's why his show is so popular. So, it may have been quite awhile since M*A*S*H* but that doesn't mean he hasn't stayed relevant. In fact, if Alan Alda wanted to interview a famous scientist -- better yet, YOUR favorite famous scientist, take your pick (I'll pick Stephen Hawking for you in your absence) -- he would get that interview at nearly a moment's notice! There's no scientist who wouldn't want to be interviewed by him and seen on his show. So, Big-Mouth, how many famous scientists can you speak with whenever you feel like it?

Well, now! Funny ALL that!

Because when you take away the car and the outstanding debt, and maybe I'm guessing $50-200 a month in things that are direct affronts to the man's physical health, I am guessing the video games and shit don't really amount to much of a P.I.T.A. after all.

Nice ascii bling around gold (I would know.) Or is that some kind of .... de-reference ... to subdirectory "gold" all files starting with a space?

Moron, the FIRST choice "Veered off" into the consequences of abject poverty. I don't think, then, that any of the content of your post bears any resemblance to anything in reality that has anything to do with anything in reality.

Wow, the Geek Group just north of here? That's cool. I've actually done a lot of hammer swinging / demo for cheap in the past. I'm more than willing to help out.

So, supposing most of my friends (nor myself) come from moderately secure households but actually myself and almost everyone I know comes from poverty... let's see if you can re-imagine your FaceBook a little bit.

And, even though I'm not entertained by my peeps, I might not be all that entertained by yours, either. We are in the Midwest, after all.

Problems similar to that are what plague me. The software has too much of a conventional hand so to speak; a heavy-handed tendency towards some or another convention by which it excises justice onto the paper based on what you input according to the manual.

I think there are many undocumented features to the program, that mainly fall within the demarcation of musical conventions. I know that scoring a fairly simple piece of music, Purcell's "Air in D Minor" (including eight more measures I tacked on "In Memorium Purcell" for a piano class) was almost impossible due to the seeming assumptions by which the program was intent to operate.

And between trying to use the keyboard over the mouse, the two of the interfaces each had so many shortcomings and seemed to half been half-programmed-in, that neither proved sufficient to score the merely 30 or so measures that I required. I gave up after an alarming four hours across two days of trying to get "the steam up" and things underway.

A viable hypothesis, probably leading directly to the means by which so much information is carried across.

Hopefully these improvements to MuseScore will make it easier to use, because so far I have not been able to get much done with it just out of the difficulty of using it. The interface is really unintuitive. I don't think I've ever found a music scoring program that is easy to use.

Update 1 (28-May-2012):

According to our analysis, the Flame malware is the same as âoeSkyWiperâ, described by the CrySyS Lab and by Iran Maher CERT group where it is called âoeFlamerâ.

Both times I clicked to reply to this same response, the response was instead threaded to the parent. What gives, Slashdot?? I'm curious to see which one this ends up threaded under.

Because politicians lie, because civilizations have always failed and nobody wants that to happen.

"Es lebe mpoulton die selbstgerechte, selbstgefÃllige GeschwÃtz!"

"Sieg Heil!!!"

I threaded my response wrong. See below!
