Have you tried sending him a PM?

No, I have ample opportunities to listen to psytrance when I want to. Most people don't like it, so there's not much point playing it in public places like shops and cafés.

Do you suppose there'd be any demand for a website that kept track of current releases like Goastore/Psyshop etc. but instead of selling them itself it featured links to the relevant pages of labels' own sites? Seems like it could work, though I'm not sure about the economics of it. Conceivably labels could submit details (it would be in their interest to do so if the site took off) so maintaining it wouldn't be too much work, and there could be an option for labels to pay to have their releases displayed more prominently. Sound plausible?

+1 The inconvenient memory filter strikes again. In reality, it was pointed out that the Bandcamp link is prominently displayed on the Suntrip site itself.

Nice designs.

Maybe the same way people can tell the tracks on Schlab records apart?

^ Good one.

Where are you finding these?

OK, sorry for misunderstanding.

Yes.

What's a fnarkiebones thread?

Arguing with Radi. I thought that's what you wanted?

Point taken, I'll stop.

I'm going to ask you to go ahead and link to the several times you apologised. I can see one apology (a very half-assed one at that) for the gay comment in post #33, and no hint of an apology for the comment about Brazil (though there is a lot of complaining about how other people are wrong to take offence, as usual).

Wrong. Liar. In fact you weren't banned until five days after you wrote your "gay" comment. And you weren't banned simply because you'd made that comment; you were banned because you refused to apologise for that and other comments, even though those comments had caused offence - enough offence, in fact, that Procyon left Psynews for good. You're skating on very thin ice right now. Keep posting bullshit, get banned.

Are they? I saw the samples at the Suntrip site but not the Arabesque ones.

I did. Lana Wachowski is actually very convincing as a woman.

I think it's a nice idea. But apart from the economic problem mentioned by Padmapani and Dolmot I think there would also be an issue with ergonomics: if the components are shaped in such a way that they fit together nicely then they'll have sharp corners that will be uncomfortable to hold. You could have the whole thing encased in an ergonomic shell instead, but that would limit the position and size of the camera component.

NSFW (srsly)

I find the tunes a bit repetitive, but the production is impressive given how long you've been at it.

Thanks, you made some as well (e.g. I agree that calling out the film's physics was unfair on my part). It's a movie from 1915 that glorified the KKK and caused a massive increase in membership. I'm not trying to suggest that The Matrix had any similarly negative consequences, of course - just an extreme analogy that doesn't quite invoke Godwin's Law.

What matters is also subjective. I didn't ask why the matrix wasn't Utopian. I asked why the matrix wasn't set before the information age. Humans lived for thousands of years before we had phones and computers and our minds seemed to cope just fine. He's generally considered the bad guy because the film portrays him as the bad guy, and audiences are generally happy to accept whatever moral judgements they're told to accept (a point that's occasionally made by better works of philosophical fiction). Why do you think it matters if it's fake or not? As far as you or I know we could be living in the matrix right now. If you suspected that were true, what difference would it make to you? Would you stop enjoying the things you enjoy? Would the relationships you had formed with other people cease to matter? If you banged your head against the wall, would it no longer hurt because the wall wasn't real? Nor did Morpheus. If he'd wanted Cypher and the others to have a real choice he could have told them what actually awaited them outside the matrix, instead of using sleazy marketing techniques. I don't think those security guards whom Neo, Trinity and the others slaughtered had much of a choice, for that matter. So does mass murder. So was The Birth of a Nation. That doesn't mean we have to agree with it.
