  1. Happy Birthday Greg!
  2. It all depends on the songwriting credit. I think the logic is this: Music performances on the radio are advertisements for the artist, and music performances that are live are generally done for pay by the artist. The songwriter gets paid for these performances, because he/she isn't there to get paid otherwise. When recordings are sold, the artist gets paid, because people are buying THAT performance of the song. It works out pretty fairly, in practice. The unfairness in most recording contracts is that royalties aren't paid until "label production costs" are paid. Until a recording sells in the 100k units range, the artist isn't going to make a dime. The way around that is to spend less producing a record, or hold out for a better contract.
  3. Performers get paid for units sold, authors (or their rights holders) get paid for performance of their songs.
  4. 2 conference calls, then an hour trying to catch a wave to body surf. Calm day tho, so I came back in.
  5. tapastalk is somewhat annoying, so far. Slow, lacks PM interface, UI isn't keyed to the way I think. I'm going to wait for the next update at this point.
  6. Nothing, they make great supressors
  7. No, that's when you use a potato
  8. Option A: Not blowing out your eardrums while you're shooting Option B: They're fucking cool
  9. My experience is subsonic loads and a dry supressor are fairly quiet. It's not "silent" but it's not identifiably a gunshot, and it's not dangerously loud.
  10. I thought it was funny when you said it too
  11. How about this: I'll give you $50 and won't have boo shoot you for the aero
  12. Yah, xbmc is supposed to be pretty nice. A variant of that is what I run on my mac.
  13. Iphone upgrades are free too, but let's see if palm does full OS revisions for the pre for free They never have for other palm based phones.
  14. Other companies just don't give you the option of doing the OS upgrade at all.
  15. They're not making you buy a new ipod to get the new firmware, and no one's making you upgrade, so I don't see the problem.
  16. Yes, it's done on purpose
  17. I mean produced in the last 10 years
  18. Given that almost everyone that has one is a member here, and they ARE very good headphones, I'm not sure I get your concern?
  19. I'm bringing my HK tactical 45 to the beach this fall but I've never gotten the silencer for it. I should save up and do that.
  20. Watery silence?
  21. You wouldn't hear them without an amp They're not extremely demanding of the amplifier, I like them a lot from the duet.
  22. Can you hear the space between your ears?
  23. I wouldn't compromise to a stepup to save $20-30, personally.
  24. I don't think RS1s are the "regular grado sound", I haven't heard the MSPRO or RS2, and I think the HF2 sounds nothing like the HP2 or GS1000, except in that it's a grado, so the presentation is similar, even tho the tone isn't.
  25. That's easy, becauseI was being inflammatory, just like he was , you missed our 3am conversation at canjam
