  1. Re:Tactile feedback on Misa Digital Guitar Runs On Linux · · Score: 1

    I have played plenty of guitars, for 30 years.

    There is basically no difference between playing an electric and playing an accoustic.

    I own 5 guitars, A Strat, a Les Paul, a Yamaha bass and 6 string acoustic and a Takamine acoustic.

    The taka acoustic has a very good pickup, and great sustain, at least equal to the strat!

    Any extra sustain comes thru distortion/compression with an amplified guitar.

    The downside with nthe acoustic with picup is too MUCH sustain, otherwise known as feedback.

    AC due to mods in this thread.

    Having worked in the music industry for many years, I would say that LOTS of people "have the time and skills to be marketeers, travel and booking agents, and accountants." We called them "tour managers"!-A job I did for some time. Its not that hard really.

    Well you swallowed the govt kool aid didnt you?

    The terrorists have won, when we as a society are afraid. I am sick of cowards who allow themselves to be scared, giving the terrorists exactly what they want. Show some balls and get informed.

    You are in far more danger of death form a car accident than terrorism, yet we dont see billions being spent to prevent that far greater danger.

  15. Re:What the hell happened down under? on Aussie Gov't To Introduce Bill That Would Require ISP-Level Censorship · · Score: 1

    Yep, it was a really great move which has saved many lives.

    There is plenty of evidence that Americans cannot be trusted with guns. See US murder rate.

    I have by the way fired 1000's of rounds at a shooting club some years ago.

    Shooting is as much a "sport" as chess and cards are-not at all. Sport is simply yet another excuse to allow idiots to own guns.

    I would like to see ALL guns banned from society with a mandatory 10 year sentance for possesion of them. Life for second offence.

    Sport-bullshit.

    Whilst this mans acts are undoubtably horrifying, the pride with which people from the US regard further crimes taking place in gaol disgusts me.

    A prisoner once jailed is under the protection of the state and should not be subject to violence.
    The obvious enjoyment of this is sickening.
