Well, electronic music in the broad sense is at least thirty-five years older than Sleng Teng. I doubt, say, Schaeffer and Xennakis were very clued in to what was happening in Jamaica. But it's absolute true that you reggae and dub had

The worst example I've seen personally was the pension plan provider at my current job. They required an app to sign up and manage everything. They don't have a web site and I was the first person to ask about it. Parking in many

Why in the world would I trust people who were in intelligence agencies?

This doesn't make sense. It's very obvious when you look at his movements in 2013 that Snowden did not want to end up in Russia, and there is absolutely nothing that links him to Russia prior to his revelations.

The technology they sent on Jeopard answered a question, I think, that was looking for the name of a specific king of Egypt with "What are trousers?". Seems pretty obvious that anything that would do that is not human-like intelli

My descent into Linux started with trying to change the background image behind the login prompt on OS X. You could do it, but it required a bit of hacking. I somehow took great offense, and... that's how I ended up a programmer.

His point at the end about the impossibility of the word "un-Danish" is at least thirty years out of date, if not 80. "Udansk" is fairly frequently used, across the political spectrum, usually denoting some variation of

Yeah, it's not in the same table in the database as the regular accounts, so they don't have "accounts". There's still a list of names and a bunch of data. No question.

I've got a 1999 Powerbook G3 open that I'm making some music on right now. Some of the processes take a long time so I keep my X200 (13 years!) next to me as well to have something to do in between. 1999 isn't all of a quarte
