    In reply to Dear Palm Treo 650 With Android: You Are Inspiring
    Some guys got Linux with OPIE running on the 650 long ago, which I'm guessing paved the way for this. Nobody cared because OPIE sucks. #androidtreo650

    The only thing I'm confused about is what the words say.


    (I was surprisingly able to otherwise hold on to my tangential grip on reality.)

    hey I have a really unrelated question, I have been on this site for about 4/5 yrs. and never found out exactly how it is done, are stars earned by good comments, or by a lot of followers?

    @takemetoyourtoaster: It was good comments, and then it was a lot of followers, and then it was a set number of followers, and then it wasn't a set number of followers, and now it's pretty much just up to the people who have the power to give out stars.


    So pretty much whatever Odin, Vili, and Ve say goes.

    @takemetoyourtoaster: None of the above. Stars are earned by providing the editors with oral sex. Or, at the very least, hooking up Frucci with some really high-grade stuff, that can work too.


    No, no, no, I'm just being silly! BJs and weed--sheesh! No, stars are earned the old fashioned way, through respectable, high-value bribes.

    Something for the truly ignorant.


    The point to silence in music is that is it surrounded by MUSIC. Silence in and of itself is NOT music no matter how much some hoity-tioty artist wants you to think it is.


    It's sort of like, oh look, I took a crap. It's ART! I farted, It's MUSIC!


    Puh - leez.....

    @cowboyshootist: Okay, now I have to explain it. The idea behind 4'33" is NOT the silence itself. It is to get the audience to listen to the ambient sounds around them. Sounds that one typically takes for granted, ignores, dismisses as nothing more than silence. Thus, no two performances of 4'33" will EVER be the same. Unless you choose not to participate in the experience, in which case, bugger off, your loss.

    @keronian: that's one way to look at it, but I think it's more about making a philosophical point than actually having the audience listen to ambient sound. Traditionally, music is sound over time. Cage subverts / broadens / craps on that definition by writing a piece of music that is all silence, no sound.


    To reduce it to coughs and chair squeaks minimizes the point Cage was making, and the whole, subversive, ironic, facetious, fun of it.

    Oh good Christ it's just like a painting that is just a blank white canvas. It's the pinnacle of the post-modern artist's self-indulgence. They try to make it seem like they have made some breathtaking insight in to life and culture, when really, they just stood silently for eight minutes or left a canvas blank and hung it on the wall. I think the Renaissance masters would be rolling in their grave.

    @iAirmanshirk: Yah, and most of that "50% of college students" are now on unemployment, or asking, "Do you want fried with that?" or stocking shelves at Wal-Mart. And really, come to think of it, where do you get the figures that 50% of college students are buying Macs? If that was the case, I would think Apple's PC marketshare would be just a teensy bit higher than it is (and it's low).


    So... yah, go Mac. Woot.

    @D.E.P.C.: Because according to national statistics, more people between the ages of 18 to 28 are unemployed than employed. Therefor, there are more unemployed college students, then employed college students. Ergo, if 50% of college students are buying Macs, then most of them are also likely unemployed.


    Or haven't you been following our economy the past eight years?


    Next?

    @BeautifulAgony: Maybe 100% of employed people between 18-24 are buying Macs, so the majority of Mac buying college students are employed with a thin minority of unemployed Mac buyers and 100% of non-Mac buyers being unemployed.


    (I don't believe or care if this is true, I just got caught up in the math problem.)
