It's the only music I'm aware of that can be played on any instrument without transcription and which AFAICT would sound just as good with the 32-bit kernel as with the 64-bit kernel.There is an audiophile out there somewhere who claims his oxygen free speaker cables give a warmer sound to the silence if they are connected inline with the local magnetic field.

Now having thoroughly hijacked this thread with nonsense, I shall shut up, I promise.
Sorry.
