    MT9 - the sucessor to MP3s

    http://music.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,2282352,00.html "Whereas MP3s are merely compressed versions of songs, MT9 has separate controls for each musical instrument. Listeners can tweak the volume for each channel - such as guitar, drums, bass and vocals - muting or amplifying their favourite...

    songs spoilt by poor choice of vocalist

    I had that exact experience - I remember hearing the piano break on Love Story when Layo & Bushwacka were DJing months before it came out, and it totally stuck in my head as this amazing record. I didn't know what it was until it got released, and I was really disappointed because it just didn'd...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    Saw Aguirre, Wrath of God the other week. That fairly blew my mind.

    Holographic Universe

    When I say "unscientific" I mean not in a solid, Popperian sense. Working with "standard" ideas, rather than venturing off into radical territory is all well and good, but this is contrary to how I would suggest most working scientists view their discipline - as purely objective slow steps...

    Jesus christ, I didn't think I could hate Emily Eavis more, but after that, I do.

    Holographic Universe

    What do you mean by this? That most scientists don't adhere to the Copenhagen Interpretation? Or that it doesn't require an Observer? IIRC the way the Copenhagen interpretation gets round the EPR paradox (entanglement) is to say that each observer subjectively collapses the wave function (as...

    Incest

    This is the mechanism that stops people becoming sexually involved with their families - it's a form of reverse imprinting called the Westermarck effect and it holds true for non-blood relations raised together in their early years. As the Wikipedia article notes, this is contra-Freud. I think...

    What hosting?

    I take all this back. Dreamhost have been totally useless the past few weeks. Apparently there's an ongoing problem with our mail server cluster, which means that on average once a day our email clients can't access their inboxes properly, and for an hour or two I'm unable to send or receive...

    H P Lovecraft

    I like Dreams in the Witch House because it reminds me of ketamine - people as polyhedrons floating through purple voids The Whisperer in the Dark is good to, mostly because the Mi-Go inspire such dread in the humans without really being evil.

    good looking people with stuff.

    Girls who are really into dubstep, I can only assume that's what you mean? ;)

    good looking people with stuff.

    I've been fully aware of this since my last long term girlfriend, and it makes me forever jealous of women for it. I think the "it just feels good" side of masturbation is pretty alien to most adult males, sadly. Along with gratification from watching oneself engage in said auto-erotic...
