Dammit, I don't get much more insightful than the post that got LIR at the top of B2. - musubi Nov 19, 15:42 5
- The problem with David's theory is it works for anyone or anything that came first. It renders ingenuity invalid. - Inigo Nov 19, 15:48 1
  - Da Vinci wasn't luck! at least not as an artist. His skill as a draftsman is mindboggling. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 16:05
- FWIW, I had never heard of that book but in reading the Amazon summary of it then the criticism from Publisher's Weekly, it sounds dead on. -- nm - David Nov 19, 15:44 2
  - It has a lot of wisdom in it, but I think it is also too narrow in its vision. (spoils) - pmb Nov 19, 15:51 1

    - Trying to track it down on Google, I found this -- (link) - Dignan Nov 19, 15:55
    - Both, I'm guessing. nm - Dignan Nov 19, 15:51
    - I was gonna say... I have thousands of $ 'worth' of music... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 15:50
- yeah, i like it a lot. my browser is too weak and old to run it at work, but it's a genius idea. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 15:44 3
  - I have 4,111 songs uploaded (or shared, whatever). I'm sure I'm on the low end, so that has to take up a lot of space. And it's free. - JaxSean Nov 19, 15:49 2
    - I am not clear if it actually stores your entire library, or if it just scans it and then uses, say, a shared copy of "Nevermind" for everyone. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 15:51 1
      - It did some kind of "matching" when I was synching. I didn't catch the final number of matches, though. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 15:53
Extra fortune. Who wants it? -- nm - CQ Nov 19, 15:40 7

    - the juice is worth the squeeze -- nm - 6 Nov 19, 15:45
- Gimme. -- nm - nubby Nov 19, 15:41 3
  - Your liffe doesn't get better by chance, it gets better by change -- nm - CQ Nov 19, 15:41 2
    - Ugh. You can have it, Will. -- nm - nubby Nov 19, 15:49
    - Time to rethink that career in pr0n, nubbster. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 15:43
*waits for znufrii to chime in with an analogue to the Opera, since that's basically what star wars was* -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:39 9
- Earlier today, he claimed opera wasn't spectacle. I'm not sure he gets to talk about opera anymore. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 15:40 5
  - Fat chicks wearing steer horns and singing as loudly as possible isn't spectacle? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 15:43 2
    - *blushes* nm - andie at oktoberfest Nov 19, 15:48
    - (this is the exact mental image I based my "Yikes" on :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:44
  - ... Yikes. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:42 1
