I love when people make assertions in an attempt to validate their preferences and opinions.
"I don't like (or understand) hip-hop, therefore it isn't music." LOL
Q-Bert claims ownership of the turntable.


I dont think annyone has realy made owner ship or claim of it.

fact is music is 100% subjective , but i can almost guarantee that this guy is trying to attain beats and rithems that are alredy cultrally known to some exstent. Basicly if you asked this guy to do this again in 10 years time he could probably do it 400x better (to what he wanted) , or if you asked the guy to put together the sound he was trying to achive in a software package not scratched he would deliver you something that was more on time more clean and with more structure.

the only way you can really say if something like this is good or bad is if you look at what the artist was intending to do and how close the product is to what the end result is. Now fair enoughf missed beats and stuff not working ends up bing the final sound which in some casses can be a nice afect but if the artist is ultimatly trying to make clean beats that are on time with a turn table then the closer to a clean beat the more "skill" they have at that task.

as it is this guy is not Evan close to what sum one could produce on a beat pad , drum kit , or peano interms of beat clarity.

I have seen some people beat juggle really clearly but ultimately they could have practiced the specifc thing more or be doing far less complex beat juggling.

So as an objective statement i think you can say within some contexts "this dose not sound so good"
over time im sure the hodg podg nature of the sound will be something that people are atracted to and it will become something that the DJ is intentoinaly doing in which case the "worse" it sounds the "better" it would be and objectively within some contexts you would have to say it sounded fantastic.

yah in the end Intention is all that matters

, my point is that if you took the photo of a child to get off on it then that is child ponography. same as if I draw that child , or made carving out of rice crispies.
the mideaum in which data is stored is not relivent to the discussoin.

what's relivent is

a) did you harm a real world person
b) are you actually a paedophile that is trying to indulge your urge to actually go and have sex with real children

so in your bass ball and parent example

a) no harm was done
b) its unlikely the parents are paedophiles

so we can then evaluate the data and agree that even though some could view it as paedophilic in this context it is not pedophilic.


the problem we have with the FBI and many people is a cultural one and a lack of knowledge.
most people don't realise that its reasonably easy to acidentaly come across child porn , if your a heavy internet user or into internet culture. The whole situation is made worse by the taboo's surrounding Pornography internet culture and child porn.

the second problem is that the only evidence you are left with in some casses is the data on the hard drive , which in any case for a guilty paedophile or a non guilty internet person would always be 1s, and 0s


the solution is for the FBI to have a reasonable process that would discern a real paedophile over sumone who happened to stumble on child porn. for example the amount of content the user has omn there pc , the consistency of images , users organising the images , the acessablity of the images to the user , the contacts the user has if they are pedophiles. in short there are manny ways that the FBI could use to more acuretly asess a users intent.

I still can't figure out either a developer or distributor motive for the move to remove dedicated servers/mods.
They're not saving money, the features are clearly already in there since they were unlocked with a hack. It's not like it makes sense to set a precedent for future games either, may as well start it with a game where you don't even consider developing mod/dedicated server support.
It's not like this somehow enables them to charge for DLC whereas otherwise they couldn't. They easily could have done so anyway, because even PC gamers would likely pay for well made content no matter how discontent they are with the decision to charge. It's not like mod support somehow changes this dramatically.
The idea that IW want to restrict balancing and various adjustments that competitive mod makers made is plausible but still comes off as ridiculous considering they have never really made an effort to be competitive friendly and must surely know that people playing competitevely will never settle for the like of AI controlled choppers and air strikes in their game.



they did it with this game because it allows them to more fairly (easily) implement the level and weapon unlock system. (MWF2 is clearly a console game designed around many aspects of console gaming and what the core fps console gamer wants) ( you could design a level up and wepon system that worked on dedicated servers but this is a console game and its cheaper to have users host the games so why bother paying for servers when you can force that on the users)

also the whole non dedicated game lobby server method works well for console games allowing people to jump into a multilayer game quickly without having to do any looking for servers. (console gamers want quick gratification of a reasonable stranded nor necaserally game play that pushes the art form forwards)

I do however think it is just cheep of them not to provide the servers themselves so that users are not hosting them , like how Dice dose it with bf 1943, they host the games but you just jump into them through a quick join system.


I think in general the quick join non dedicated option works well for console games. the reason why they don't work for pc games is this.

1) pc gamers want more sophisticated game play and expects mods and additional content
2) pc gamers normally expects multilayer with 20+ people avrage home internet cannot cope with this
3) pc gamers are all running different kit and require the host to provide a bass line and administratoin to remove hacks cheets and ping advantage (for a host)
4) pc gamers like a solid fixed location that they can go to for the exsperance they want from a game different servers are like different pubs accentually they all sell the same thing but the music setting and bar staff are different.
5) pc gamers use external software with there games for voice (joining games with friends in) and aquiring mod and map content, pc gamers dont like to be forced to use the process that the developer or publisher is inforcing as in most casses its shit compared to a specifcly made alternative.


in the end a PC is OPEN games platform games have to be developed for them with this in mind
console games are a CLOSED platform and there for you develop them specifcly to capatalize on the aspects of that closed platform.

the reasoning why developers simply port the shit over to pc is a) its less effort / risk than designing something that works for pc b) console architecture is much closer to pc than it used to be c) the profits derived from pc are considered a bonus they don't really give a shit due to the profits that can be derived from the console. why bother wasting time doing a decent pc port when you could have the same team of people work on DLC / new games and earn just as much money at almost no risk.

A lot like the West side of Oahu. Funny parallel there- two island nations with a history of fighting to defend their land. Ever since I read some Cass Pennant it has stuck in my mind how similar the various island nations are.

Alas she is married to Cass Sunstein, another smarty, with a name like that I think he'd be an excellent folk singer. So is she now getting back into the Obama team after that Hilary "monster" Clinton remark?

I love this song, Mama Cass singing this is one of my all time favorite recordings, but this was very nice as well.

I'm on the drug, I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix

I saw his body thrashing 'round
I saw his pulse rate going down
I saw him in compulsive throws
I said "I'll have one of those"

Hilary had, Hilary had
Hilary had it in his veins

Hilary had Everest in his veins
Armstrong did moon, was not the same
Heroes explore to give us hope
River pushed back the envelope

Drank the slab, drank the slab
Drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk

I drank the slab that Bon Scott drunk
I injected some of Hendrix's junk
I booked a seat on Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane
Mama Cass' sandwich? I ate the same

Now I'm bored, now I'm bored
Now I'm bored and there's no stoppin'

Now I'm bored and there's no stoppin'
I need another celeb to fill a coffin
Where will I get my next drug action?
Odds on it'll be Michael Jackson

I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix
I'm on the drug

It's a fine line to walk, that fast-burning flames must navigate their own coping concoctions......Some do it fast, others slow, some overcome and continue to be prolific-

Amy is talented as hell, so was Janis Joplin, Ricky Lee Jones, Wendy O' Williams, Cass Elliot,....you gotta adapt and change in healthy ways....(and yeah, I know Ricky Lee is still around, she's just real burnt-out)

Wow, I thought this one would rocket right out of the queue and the Cass Naumann vid would die. I actually went searching for this one and just happened upon the other one while I was looking. I just posted it on a lark. Go figure...

Putting sumone to death in a developed counrty is a compleaty ubsurd and eval thing to do. i cnt belive annyone would think that killing sumone is the corect actioin to take for annything sumome has done.

allso i belive it costs more to put people to death than to hold them for life ( in manny casses )
mestakes are made and inosent people are put to death
you canot lern annything about sumone and why thay took there actoins once thay are dead
i havent seen anny evidence to sajest killing people reduces crime

the only time death pental makes sence would be when you are in a limitid situatoin like u cnt take hostages ore you simply donot have the means to ceep sumone who is potentaily dangerouse to people in a an enviroment that would keep them and you safe

i cnt belive people actualy put up with the fact in some states thay have death penalty i would have thought thousends apon thousends of people would protest it whats up with americans that thay dont do annything about sutch blatently obvously stupid things.

it is true that just becuse you agree with it dosent meen that it isent abuse.

however its not nearly as abusive geting a kid to say what she seas in this clip than to indoctranate them with religoin whitch has littel if no baring on reality in manny casses. ( especaily if folowed fundamentaly)

outside of what you agree ore disagree on what the child says is actualy bassed on facts and on things in reality the only resoin bill has a paddy wagon over it is because the kid is talking anti fundamentalist religoin and anti conservative.

For all the old farts in VideoSift

Cass Elliot introduces Scott McKenzie, who performes the classic 'San Francisco' at Monterey 1967. "San Francisco" became a hippie anthem in the United States and was popular around the world. It was played at the Summer of Love in San Francisco.

I feel way older then I am , I love how you get to see Jimi Hendrix and others just chilling!
