  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.

  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.

Flipping through the comments, it's always hilarious when people who don't know find out what fuckin' weirdos classical composers were for the time they were alive.

Yes, they would've indeed been metalheads if they were born at the right time, jimmy.

Though they did mention one thing I didn't know about- Beethoven attaching a metal plate to his piano and biting it so he could hear it after he went deaf- the same sort of thing bone induction hearing aids do for the deaf now. Makes his deaf composition a little less impressive but much more believable- he could at least test out new combinations of notes to find out what they actually sounded like when putting them in.
