  1. Incidentally (regarding your sig).... by filthpickle · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    the intro is on the D, G and B strings, it's 7-7-7 then 10-7-7

    the verses are
    D-Bm 4 times, then Em-A-D (the even though you broke my heart and killed me part)

    for the part between the verse and chorus (except the ones who are dead) hit B and hold

    the chorus is F-C-B-F twice, then B-C-F-Em-Dm (the F-Em-Dm part is the 'you make a neat gun'), then B-A and repeat

    I laughed my ass off when I beat it the first time, best video game ending EVER!

    been around for the past 10 years then you would know server 2008 is meant to do that job. Wow.. So, in essence, since it's 10 years late, they renamed Windows Server 1998 to Windows Server 2008? Slick marketing there! Not sure how they hid that one.. Everyone knew Vista was late.. Noone has made a peep about WS2008!
