The Self-Tuning Guitar

CowboyRobot writes "With the TransPerformance Performer you push a button to activate a mechanical re-tensioning of the strings to any of a few hundred tunings, 'accurate to within 2 cents over the entire tuning range', in a couple of seconds. They can even refit your existing guitar. There's a long audio interview with Jimmy Page on the site. It's funny to hear him speak."

    GNAA Leaks Windows 2000 Source code
    by GNAA staff

    As previously reported here, source code to Microsoft's latest operating system has been stolen.

    So far, nobody claimed responsibility for the act, and Microsoft is denying it even happened. But you know better than that! GNAA 0wnz you.


    We will be right back after this commercial break!
    According to Google Zeitgeist, there are about 80% of Internet Explorer 6 users. The only platform supporting Internet Explorer 6 is, of course, Microsoft Windows. These statistics are consistent with the earlier presented graphs of the operating systems used to access Google, with the Windows family consistently taking the top 3 ranks. Out of remaining 20%, the split is even between MSIE 5.5, MSIE 5.0, both Windows-only browsers. Netscape 5.x (including Mozilla) counts for only a measly 5% of browsers used to access Google. As you can see from the graph, this sample was calculated starting from March 2001 until September 2003.

  3. He touched my junk! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    Self tuning guitar tuner touched my junk liberally. he strapped me in to his tunermobile and he couldnt keep his offensive hands off of me. he was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told Self tuning guitar tuner the city would not approve of a millionaire touching an underage kid for free.
    can you believe it? Self tuning guitar tuner did all this. he picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the tunermobile's passenger seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.
    they definately were red flag touches. the goddamn referee he had in the back seat kept on raising up this red flag every time he touched my junk but did Self tuning guitar tuner care? NO WAY! he just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with Self tuning guitar tuner but to no avail. I told him the city would not approve of such a wealthy man touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as his own personal plaything.
    this got to him, worrying about his image. he continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the referee's red flags. then he drove the tunermobile to my house and ejected the seat i was in! it was amazing. but surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, my bank account had $150k in it!!! Can you believe it?

    Modded up and down so quickly...

    I forget which models (Belmont rings a bell) but old Vauxhalls with automatic transmition tuned the engine inbetween gear changes to prevent that horrible lag.

    I suspect the majority of automatic cars do it these days.
