What a stupid ass thread this is. Don't you geeks have anything more
productive to do or discuss?

All forms of computer programs operate under
finite algorhythms which are only useful for games
like chess that have limited outcomes and
possible moves.

But our brains are computers...

But better!

I've been reading some articles on the "quantum computer" thing that
people have been working to develop lately. It expands the
limitations of the computer considerably, but at the same time I heard
that it'll make programming a real pain in the butt. Kind of
interesting how it works out like that...

Okay, we'll discuss you. You're an idiot.

Like what? This is what I do for a living. Read random ****, apply
it to music. All in good fun.

Computers can communicate their emotions??? (Sorry old buddy - I never
thought of how you felt about having your case half open all this time.)

Mine just communicated to me that somebody felt such a sense of surprise
that they needed to write THREE question marks in a row.

The self-preservation circuit isn't there yet.

You're posting to it - surely that ensures its high quality?

If programmed to do it. The same way every time.

Or, if programmed to use a randomizer, at random, with no
understanding of why it is being done that way.

Music is intended to be played by human beings for other human beings.

Do you understand everything you do?

Music is intended to be played by human beings for other human beings.

But computers are programmed by humans! And anyway, what if I program a
computer to create aesthetic sounds meant to be listened to by humans -
it's not music?

Well, it's not music if *you* program it...
