Looks like they're trying to compete with G-Mail. Wonder what else will happen in the next bit. I'm wondering what Yahoo! is offering, too.
 
the terabyte was a mistake they did about a month ago. I trully don't think that they are going to do it.
 
Good luck competing with Gmail. It's t3h r0x0r!

But I would sure love if someone started giving 1 GB of free web space. Hell, I'd love if someone gave 50 MB of ad-free web space. That would mean I could finally upload my awesome music.

Get a static IP address and host all the music you like

Yeah, I can totally afford to spend a few hundred euros a month on a static IP and host music nobody will give shit about. :roll:
 
I don’t think that’s that expansive.
or you can always put it on your server at work, if you have one

PS
If you know no one will like your music, why dreaming about hosting it anyway?

Dude, I live in Croatia. Here DSL costs a hundred dollars a month, and it isn't even flatrate.

I estimate there are a few people who will like it, or at least won't downright hate it.

Speaking of which, do we have any hard techno fanz here? Nope, didn't think so.
 
'Cept metal is an extremely diverse genre, with many subgenres within.

Techno, rave music, happy hardcore, house, and dance music are all the same: it's just the Mortal Kombat theme with no drums, slow thumping drums, or really fast drums.

So neener neener.
 
Malky REALLY doesn't know jack about dance music, you didn't even get half the types of dance music.

There's VERY distinct sounds between the various types of dance music.

There's:
Trance
Goa Trance
Psy Trance
Psy (psychadelic) Trance
Hard Trance
Vocal Trance
Goa-Psy Trance
Classic Techno Trance
House
Deep House
Progressive House
Techno
Reggae
Euro Dance
Disco

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, each genre has it's own distinct style. Each also has many different sounds they use, if you had any clue as to what you were talking about you wouldn't be saying it.

"Cheerio" :D

All i'm reading is *bxxxxxzzzzt-ding-sing-bxxxxxzzzt* repeat for two hours.
 
:? You don't have a clue as to what you're talking about, may I ask what you've actually listened to or do you have no clue because it's just little songs in movies and such that weren't even made by real techno/trance/etc. producers?
 
I've listened to my share of techno/dance music, I've got a couple friends that are really into it.

It all sounds the same to me.

Doesn't mean the artists are without talent...but it doesn't mean the music doesn't sound like shit, either.
 
Talk to me on AIM or something, I have a sample of a song that will pretty much prove you wrong about the sounding same thing.

Your friend probably likes a particular style of TECHNO, not any of the other sub genres... Before you talk about music, know the music you're talking about :)
