Did you notice the link to suntriprecords.bandcamp.com?

If you would like to hear the guy who wrote that music exchange profanities with two gamers for an hour then this is your lucky day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t70l-9n1rCQ

I did crap as usual. e: Scored 8. Anyway, thanks for posting. It was fun.

Oh, wait! How can I forget the Machinarium soundtrack? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwxdYNmT1_A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYd7PbGEOus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OM5A6JwHig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwwfGUKFhAk

My all-time favourite videogame tune is this. e: Or maybe this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUBHD2g9zq4

This is a very interesting release. Thanks for posting this review or I'd probably never have heard of it.

OK, I got round to reading it. Good post indeed. I didn't start a forum, psynews was started (I think) by Children, years before I joined. I'm just a dogsbody.

Pretty cool, I'm on Let's Dream and I like it the most so far.

You can have both installed and choose between them on the login screen.

I don't have much other Linux experience with which to compare it (I did briefly use Ubuntu and didn't like it, but that was several years ago and I expect it's changed a lot since then) but I can recommend Mint. I've tried both the MATE and Cinnamon DE's and Cinnamon looks much better (but not as good as W7 IMO).

Both good.

Maybe this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCirTQ_Hgas

Same here except the other way round.

The only psytrance remix of Blue Monday I can think of is New Wave Saturday Night Chickens by Rhombus. Doesn't seem to be on YouTube but you can hear a sample here. e: Now that I listen again it's a stretch to call it a remix, it just uses a couple of bars of the famous bassline.

I use Windows 7 because it's less buggy and prettier to look at than any Linux distro I've tried, and good for playing games. I use Linux because it's faster, lets me do things that Windows doesn't, and makes installing most things I want much easier than Windows does. I don't think either is better than the other, they both have their own merits that make them better suited to some users. And given how cheap HDD space is these days there's not much to stop a PC user from having both.

But that isn't possible, for reasons that have already been explained in this thread.

My Python programs run about 50% faster in Linux. That's considerably more than a few tenths of a second in processing time (and it didn't take weeks for me to find the proper drivers, it was trivial, but I don't doubt that varies from system to system).

Linux does not require you to use the command prompt to install applications.

Windows 7 is actually very good. (Windows 8, on the other hand, is appalling.)

You keep mentioning being good with computers as one of your strengths when you're looking for jobs. Don't you think this would ring more true if you were willing to learn how to use a command prompt? Anyway, I recently installed Linux Mint and can recommend it for Unix noobs - it was mostly very easy to install and get things working. However, I did have to ask my flatmate a couple of questions. If you want to try Linux (and it probably won't do your employment prospects any harm if you do) then Mint is the way to go, but make sure you have either a friend who knows his stuff or another computer with access to the support forum at the ready.

Your scaly white lines are kind of cool. What's the deal with those?

I'd just call it psytrance. It belongs to that subgenre that's popular in the UK and that usually has a characteristic b_bb bassline rhythm, and as far as I know that kind of music doesn't have a more specific name than "psytrance" (though that term is also used to refer to psychedelic trance music more generally, including Goa, fullon, darkpsy, progressive psytrance etc.). If you want similar music then check out Nano records; I think there are several tracks in the mix that are taken from this album.

Wow, I really suck at this. Someone please do a darkpsy one so that at least everyone else here will suck as much as I do.
