If you want people to use your Linux, you have to provide the measures that it will simply work on most people’s PCs. If an otherwise good organisation like the Free Software Foundation now recommends the Linux distribution gNewSense, which is Ubuntu with all non-free or open components removed, that accomplishes the exact opposite. It […]
On the first two Space Odyssey albums, band leader and keyboard wizard Richard Andersson (no, not the MacGuyer guy) brewed a fantastic symphonic power metal mix in the vein of Yngwie Malmsteen in his good times. But since he has another band (besides the 12000 other bands he used to have or used to play […]
Some time ago I wrote about an alternative to Windows Explorer called XYplorer. Unfortunately, it is not free anymore. I do not use Windows much, so obviously I needed a free alternative. I found it in xplorer² lite, the light version of this software is free for private and academic use, exactly what I need. […]
To see where my recent visitors came from is rather interesting:
Just sit back and think for a moment, what would be the worst place to install a gigantic Physics experiment? Several kilometres under the South Pole? Maybe, but exactly this is done with the Ice Cube Neutrino Observatory!
If there is an exact opposite to Easy Listening music, it’s probably Mathcore. Rhythm pattern deducted like complex mathematical structures, lots of noise and screaming. The Dillinger Escape Plan manage that, at least on their Miss Machine album, in a way that is at least bearable. But what happens if musicians that talented concentrate their […]
Back to Metal, we take a trip to a subgenre I like to call US Power metal; which encompasses bands like Jag Panzer, Helstar or Destiny’s End. Typical symptoms of US Power Metal are songs heavily filled with multiple guitar lines, a powerful singer and often somewhat strange song structures. Mostly medium to midly fast […]
Away from Metal for a moment, to the debut album of Tori Amos. It’s hard to choose a song from “Little Earthquake”, which is by far the best Tori Amos album. Just a girl and her piano (ok, some occasional strings), and beautiful pittoresque songs like small drawings, wrapped into fantastic lyrics. Well, as it […]
The video I embed is from the german video blog “Elektrischer Reporter” (Electrical Reporter). The introduction is in german, but the interview is in english (with german subtitles). Lawrence Lessig explains why copyright laws weren’t made for this age, how they hem cultural development and how they are abused. Very, very recommended video! See the […]
The second song you should know is not as unknown as the first one. Edguy have gained much popularity, and they deserved to. But the album that marked the beginning of their greater success, Theater of Salvation, still has their best song as an opener: Babylon. This encompasses not only everything good about Edguy, but […]
