Unfortunately yes , i didn't have any trouble with laptops before until this point. Every time the core's temperature goes up to 70c everything will just freeze, only the mouse pointer will move. Probably to prevent hardware damage by heat. I don't know if a laptop cooler will work. I didn't had this problem until today.

Defrag, registryclean, disk clean, virus scan, while it sits in a fridge. Consider getting an optimiser like TuneUp utilities. Don't compute on blankets, work in well ventilated areas. If possible keep some panels off so the heat can vent better. Don't over clock.

Looking at the screenshot it says your fans are not working (0 RPM). Perhaps that's the cause?

So apparently my replacement partner can't do it in time...do I win this round by default?

I just got a PM that said my opponent is stealing music :-/ He gave me this link: http://soundcloud.com/space-laces/figure -torture-space-laces-remix

What's going on here? I didn't find that song in Heat's song collection.

Lolwut, that's not made by Heat, let alone that he stole it. Although there's this guys who reviewed Heat's song saying that it was stolen. :/
Which reminds me of flagging that review because it's forbidden to say a song is stolen :)

Yeah, my reviews have been deleted. I figured it was the best way to get it out there. His current submission is also a rip from a K12 mix that was posted 1 month ago.

K12 mix The track starts around 41 minutes.

Hope I don't get in a bad daylight for trying to defend the values of artists who actually make their music themselves.

He deleted the song straight after I send him a PM to confront him with it.

His audition starts at 38. His round 1 submission starts at 44. There is no song information available, that would have made this easier.

I don't think they're rips from the mix itself. He made have found the actual song, but either way the sound design, melody, and rhythms are all identical. You can't pass that off as just sounding similar...even so these should be original songs in the competition.

I smell a disqualification

He said he heard the mix in one of his author comments. But that he modified the songs or something.

i smell a banhammer, major shunning, and major tsks tsks.

I don't think that is the case. I just don't think people want to believe it. I sure don't. It is incredibly disappointing.

He either takes his stealing seriously or is a huge troll. I mean he made those posts about how proud he was of his song lol.

and then a whole bunch of people nommed his cock about how good it was.

I'd love to contribute to this discussion but I'm on my cellphone and can't listen to SoundCloud, only Youtube. Still, I wanna hear DjHeat's side of the story. To me he doesn't seem like someone who steals his songs.

I feel sucked in, sent a PM the other day regarding some effect chains and his answers were vague and non-technical. A listen of many of his songs... they don't sound stylistically/quality from the same person.

I think this should be best left out of this thread and taken to PMs.

Guys,

I've contacted Wade, so there's no need to discuss the stealing anymore in this thread.

Let's just work on finding a solution to the odd numbers now. Supposedly Rig's replacement competitor said he wasnt going to be able to do a song, so I think we can match djnate with rig for now, but thats going to leave us with 15 people for the next round.

If we can get 3 people to agree to compete against each other with only one winner for the second round, then I think that would solve everything.

I think disqualifications making Rig and DjNate pass is a path of least resistance, though a bit boring for them.

Is the cut off time for submitting at the beginning of the 15th, or end of? I'm in a bit of a time pinch and 24 more hours will make a big difference.

This would be a kick in the face for KKSlider who would compite against Rig as a replacement, but yeah, this is the best solution.

I don't wanna be a sour-puss about it, but while I think exposing a potential fraud in public is fine, don't you think releasing a PRIVATE MESSAGE to the public is just a tad bit unnecessary?
