What is counting?

More, less over time.

One interesting bit about growing crops in Northern Canada is it's all bedrock underneath that ice. Don't forget that crop land today would be desert tomorrow.

We'll have to hope that we turn into lizards and the bugs migrate North along with us.

Of course if we get some fusion power plants going we won't have to worry about these things.

I wouldn't mind if NYC were flooded... it'll just grow back anyways. LA can go too, but that assumes Hollywood is included. Seems like a waste otherwise.

That's not very nice. Can't take a joke? Ok, maybe not a very GOOD joke... but what is a joke on Slashdot?

This is the most horrifying idea I've ever heard. Maybe I'm just tired and paranoid, but hear me out.

Musical creation is just that. It is an action of creation defined by the emotions and thoughts of the person creating it. It is an act of individuality. There is certainly a historical and comparative process involved but that is filtered by individual creativity.

To 'create' music with a 'technology' that is designed to 'assist' the musician is a step backward for music...

or maybe just for the current musicians. For them it certainly represents a knock in the creative process. But I suppose they would just have to get with the times.

On a positive note, mass adoption of this technology would enhance the diversity of music.

In any case, Microsoft is still evil. Don't let them take your soul.
