    I will admit, the burbling sound was pretty nice. But it was backed up by a 1.2 8v 4-pot, which is less nice. Plus everyone would have thought I was a chav.

    Just give the Yugo to Jeremy Clarkson, along with the keys to a tank.

    Say my car's silencer falls off. I can't really drive it any more, but it doesn't stop me getting in a colleague's car to get to and from the office.

    It's yet another example of this site's anti-MS bias. True, it's at least partly deserved, but that doesn't mean everything that MS does has to be torn apart as yet another failure.

    Nice :)

    I never said I wanted more realistic games. In fact, some of my favourite games are very far removed from reality.

    The last thing the videogames industry needs to every game festooned with ads for products the gamers would never buy in the first place.

    So you approve of monopolies unfairly leveraging their position to force their way into a market, killing the competition in the process?

    Hmm... something went missing from my post... there should have been an <insert favourite browser here< in there.

    Us knowledgable lot only use IE once, to download Firefox/Opera/Safari/. It's the 'mindless sheep' that think Microsoft = Computer and IE = Internet that are in the mind of the EU.

    All MS will do is put a link on the desktop saying 'Get Internet Explorer', and 10 minutes later, the user will have 'dur internetz' and that will be that.

    Since Ubuntu don't make Firefox, I doubt it.

    I don't recall that option. Anyway, isn't it just a list of hashchecks? No personal info?

    Don't all Google ad-blocks have 'ads by Google' on them? And I do believe all YouTube videos viewed off-site have the YouTube watermark. Plus, Google Maps mashups tend to have 'Google Maps' in the bottom right corner.

    Kaspersky is so brilliant, it locks up every time I try to do anything with it.

    Then again, my AVG hasn't updated properly all week...

    If the GH:WT instruments are as good quality as the GHIII Les Pauls, then they'll be fairly good, apart from a few early teething troubles.

  22. Re:Music authoring on Music Game Competition Heats Up · · Score: 1

    Won't indie bands do what they do now: use MyBook or FaceTube or YouSpace? GH:WT's editor is similar to SSBB's Level Editor and Trackmania's Track Editor: a simple, easy to use tools, with a low entry barrier, to get people interested in music writing/level design/track design. Once you hit the limits of the tools, you move up a level abnd get new, more powerful tools.

    Originals. Lots and lots of awful songs written and performed by GH players. Free up some space on your HD, you don't want to miss out on tat :P

    There, fixed that for you ;)

    Actually, it won't start up again till March next year I believe, so we've got more than 90 days.
