Lotheric: I use promotional

seems logical, the band doesn't list it on their website so... It would rule out official I guess :)

thanks

Lotheric: If it selled somewhere then its official

well it is (or was)

bleh

I'll leave it unknown I guess

woo tuesday night!!!

Pre-May-1st-holiday night :)

(at least here in EE)

better drunk than dead?

I mean, I don't drink alcohol and I'd still agree :p

mmmm.. donuts

weird, I thought may day was aka worker's day?

oh, it is.

worker aka "serf" in the communist system

oh, sorry, I mean proletarian forced to work land for his masters

which is totally not a serf wink wink

after all, the rhetoric changed

ugh jhirley

derwin: serf exist since medieval times

it’s like the most people

slaves

of owners

land owners nobles etc.

bbq

bitmap: Any idea why http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/0c7bb044-44... shows “composer:Johann Sebastian Bach (tracks 1–6, 6–16)” instead of “…tracks 1–16”?

I guess it’s somehow related to that being a performance of two works?

(“that” being track 6)

Unrelated: can anyone find what release this is? http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/5c1ce59d-a9... — I can only find 12-track releases…

hawke_1: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81wnUG6sy... (from http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00ACN1YL4)

nikki: thanks

hawke_1: I don't remember offhand why it would do that but it's definitely a bug

kk

nikki: Any idea why this (advanced) search query doesn’t work correctly? tracks:16 classics up to date

define "correctly"?

(searching for releases there) …correctly meaning 'finds releases with 16 tracks'

hawke_1: tracks:16 AND (classics up to date) if you want only releases with 16 tracks

ah, right…stupid “OR” default

well, people would complain if it started not finding anything because not all of the words were in the title :/

meh. Finding useless crap is worse than finding nothing

to you maybe

if I wanted some crappy thing that failed every time I included an extra word, I could use the direct search :P

Every query should just return every result in the db…that way we can say ‘we always give you the result you wanted!’

we can't, because maybe what you wanted isn't there :P

Yeah, but you’ll never know :-p

anyway, if too many poor results is the problem, it seems more like we should only return things if the score is high enough

I just (still) think defaulting to OR makes no goddamn sense.

Is there any web search engine that does that?

No, because it’s fucking stupid.

I tend to agree, but maybe ther'es something I'm missing
