It's funny because Lady Gaga is actually good at singing.

EDIT: And that seems to be the main artist people rag on in this thread.

Yeah, cho counters jayce pretty well, don't bother harassing him since he'll just get his hp back up with his passive.
How does he counter Jayce at all? His passive will give him no where near the health that Jayce can harass away, and Jayce can just kite him extremely well.

Except the generations before thought the top of the chart music was terrible. It's the same trend every generation. The previous generation hates the music from the next.
I wasn't saying anything to the contrary.

Someone said, that they had crappy artists then but no one knows about them now. And they have good artists now, but no one knows about them. They listed some "good artists". I was telling them that the difference between now and then  is that back then the "good artists" (according to his theory) were at the top of the charts and the "good artists" now are not, or less frequently. Which suggests that people are moving away from good music, but that is only if his definitions of good artists are correct.

My statement was essentially, "What you are saying contradicts your point."

Make sure you aren't capitalizing things.

First link is a bit unclear, since it seems to alternate between "you need a special product key" and "you need an expensive edition of Win8 and group policy hacks".
Some more searching shows that even though Windows intends for you to be a business to sideload apps, the group policy hack can allow anyone to sideload any app.

But okay the whole "you can only get apps through our store unless you are a wizard" is kind of dumb.

also i think OP should realize there was a lot of popular stuffty music back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s too.  We just never hear about them because they suck.  All we hear about is the good stuff.

In 20 years, nobody will be listening to Justin Beiber or Katy Perry, but they will be listening to artists like Daft Punk and Adele.
Except back in the 60s-80s the good artists were at the top of the charts. Now some crappy artists are.

the thing that's happening here is embedding a whitelist into the OS. That is unacceptable.
Okay, I see what a permission system is, and that would probably work. But I don't see anywhere where Windows 8 says they are only allowing apps that they have approved and no one can use apps that have not been approved. A link would be nice.

Nope, that's proper permission systems and sandboxing (which are good and way overdue).
Even with a "proper permission system" you can't ensure that there are no holes. For example, Badspot tried to design Blockland to be able to use mods freely without breaking, yet some add-ons still break the game, and there are even client-sided exploits that his permission system does not catch. He fails these add-ons, which is probably the best solution, because the other alternative is to destroy the freedoms of mod makers.

A "proper permission system" that catches all issues would probably be more restrictive than software control.

Doesn't make it any more acceptable.
Incorrect, when you accidentally install crappy software that screws up your machine on a desktop or laptop, it is relatively easy to fix. When you do the same thing on a mobile device, it can really screw you over. Software control prevents this stuff from happening to people with mobile devices.

And searching Google for Windows 8 "Software Control" brings up one article with the phrase in the first few results, and that says that they are stepping away from it.

While some people claim Windows 8 has several good parts (the user interface, the new additions everywhere, etc., each their pick), what Microsoft plans to do in regards to software control is simply unacceptable.
I'm pretty sure the software control only deals with apps. And there is always software control with apps.

I listen to Imogen Heap, Great Big Sea, Afro Celtic Sound System, Nickel Creek, Natalie MacMaster (saw her and her husband live, and it was amazing), and Sting, in terms of recent talented music. These, in my opinion, are some of the greatest artists/groups of this time and they stand up well to their predecessors.
I also realize that my tastes are by no means mainstream.
Is there a new Sting or something? Because he is far from recent.

I would give you thee answer but I'm not sure which way thuh vote is going to be cast.

Most of the time thee before a vowel sound and thuh before a consonant sound, but occasionally I change it up just because.
