The MMA (MIDI Manufacturers Association) www.midi.org has been nagging me to donate $5/month. They count 42 paid subscribers with a fundraising goal of $25,000. They count (or once counted, many moons ago) Yamaha, Apple, Microsoft, and Roland among their members.
How fleeting is the glory of this world. One decade, an industry will make fortunes that the likes of Ray Kurzweil will retire on and be nuisances the rest of their natural lives. And a couple decades later, they'll be begging for chump change from hobbyist programmers with sweatshop jobs (the likes of me)!

Well, I cannot escape his name or building named after him as I live in Hannover, Germany.
But never searched why he was so important.

That link doesn't go anywhere.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

That's because the thread has been moved to the Soapbox

I think it's great. Take video. Take pictures. Publicize the hell out of it, and leave the government out of it. Then maybe the flat Earth conspiracies will go away and we can get back to going on with our lives.
As an aside, at least this dude is actually doing something about it. Gotta give him props for that.

Some of us have already filed this idiot where he belongs, and our lives were never interrupted.

I've been to Amboy. My son and I hiked from the parking lot to the Amboy Crater - Wikipedia
It was quite interesting. Besides walking around in the caldera itself, it's really amazing the amount of life that exists in a desert if you look closely enough.

Just walked through the living room and Herself is watching some Reality Police show on the TV.
As I walk through I hear a cop asking "This vehicle has hit 39 ANPR cameras since it failed it's MOT* - were you on your way to a pre-booked MOT test on all of those occasions?"
Made me laugh, anyway. Ah, technology - it's a git if you don't understand it!
* The MOT is a UK annual test of all vehicles roadworthiness - if you don't have one, the vehicle is only allowed on the road while driving directly to or from a prebooked test.

I use this when the instances are going to be resource heavy - maybe have a couple of images in them - and / or I want one example of each instance through the whole system.
So I have a private constructor, a static Dictionary containing all created instances, and a static method which fetches the instance:
private static Dictionary<string, MyClass> all = new Dictionary<string, MyClass>();
private MyClass(string name, List<string> data )
{
...
all.Add(name, this);
}
public static MyClass Get(string name, List<string> data)
{
if (all.ContainsKey(name)) return all[name];
return new MyClass(name, data);
} And it works really well. But ... is that a pattern? I hope not, I might have to stop using it ...
