Les Paul made his first prototype solid body in 1945. Leo Fender and Doc Kauffmann built one in 1943.
Prior to both, craftsman had been experimenting and building one-off electric guitars since the 1920's. Gibson had been building the LS-150 hollow-body since the 1930's.
The first solid-body "production" electric guitar was the Fender Esquire, which was developed in 1949 by Leo Fender and started production in 1950 after 50 esquires were made they added a pickup and renamed it to the Broadcaster which now included a truss rod in the neck to keep it from warping. It was renamed to the Telecaster and became a single pickup guitar when Gretsch threatened to sue them for trademark infringement because of their line of drums called Broadkaster.
Gibson, in seeing the success of the solid body electric guitar, called Les Paul back and the Gibson Les Paul production guitar was born. It was put into production in 1951. Fender put the solid body electric guitar on the map, Gibson and Les Paul came up with the competition. At that time they both had single coil pickups.
Both the Gibson and Fender solid body guitars are equally iconic in Rock n' Roll as well as blues. Each has a camp fiercely devoted to them. It's worthy of note that Jimi Hendrix played both Gibson and Fender guitars (flying V, Les Pauls and stratocasters mainly) to get different sounds. You can't talk about rock n' roll guitars without talking about both.
I'm not trying to minimize his achievements, Les Paul is a legendary player, technician, inventer, songwriter etc etc... one of the most talented people of the 20th century.
>Why is it so difficult for people in the US to admit that they're being gouged by companies?
I have no trouble admitting it. We're getting ****ed. ATT, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile each screw us in subtly different ways, but they're all bending us over. It's because their lobby and the money they pay off the politicians with, ensure that their price fixing goes "unnoticed".
The free market is great in theory; in practice it doesn't work because the government is utterly corrupt.

>High-G impacts - which require a hard surface to stop the motion of the unit very quickly. This would leave a tell-tale blemish on the case.
Not so. I have a an agent 18 case on my iPhone. I've unintentionally dropped it 3x from a height of ~3.5 feet on to concrete. Each time the case split, came apart and the phone ended up in one half or the other, escaping blemish. Of course the case is designed to take the impact and split open, redirecting the energy of the fall (within reason). I'm pretty sure the screen would have gotten cracked by now without that case.
My phone still works fine, however apple wouldn't be able to tell I dropped it. The case is chewed up a little but I could pop it off before returning the phone for warranty replacement.
Sure you can, get rid of the bloat caused by features that users never use, asked for, or wanted. Then, out of the box, turn off all services not necessary for the user to boot up, and train the OS to turn them on as the user uses stuff that needs them, instead of defaulting every whiz bang service to on.
In VA you get time added to your sentence automagically if you test positive for any drugs and you don't have a prescription for them, whether or not you are impaired or intoxicated.

One thing I want to know is why there aren't home invasion, murder, robbery and assault registries. Apparently sex offenders are less likely to get rearrested. So if we register them, why not other felony criminals?
"every car sold in the US would have an ignition interlock system" This is actually not a bad idea as long as it's modified to not be mandatory. At the very least, they should be an option you can have the dealer put in. If you are like me and go to the occasional happy hour, it'd be nice to know when I was legal to drive (vs. impaired, because I know when I'm impaired)
I'd rather have the car tell me I can't drive, than a police officer. Trust me, you would too;-) Been there, done it. I didn't know that 2 drinks put you over the legal limit, but it does.
I'd happily get one if I didn't need to pay $75 a month for it.
Then again _actual_ unemployment is incalculable. In the US it's calculated based on unemployment claims. Once you've exhausted your unemployment insurance, you are no longer on the radar (see below). Meanwhile the people that are no longer counted in the unemployment numbers graduate from unemployed to homeless (or living in their mom's basement).
The BLS makes a "best effort", but they only sample 60000 households which is not such a great sample since in each market that's only a few hundred out of 100's of thousands. This is where the fudging happens.
"That's the same kind of illogic that allowed businesses to buy SUVs and then write them off their taxes (during the Bush years). I expected such things from the SUV-loving Republicans, but not from the Green Democrats. I expected the Democratic Congress to pass a bill that encouraged more high-MPG carss, not just an excuse to trade one gas-guzzling truck for another gas-guzzling truck."
They are the same party. Two different heads, same stupidity. One tailors their image for rich people, one for poor. Stop drinking the democrat koolaid. They are no better than the republicans, just more media savvy. Neither does anything positive or sustainable.
This is not an argument. Apple wouldn't be giving implicit permission to DDoS and exploit towers by allowing jail breaking. They don't own the towers.
You could do that now by illegally breaking the phone and exposing the software anyway. Regardless of whether or not jail breaking the phone is illegal, disrupting ATT's cell tower communication is illegal.
So what have they gained in this regard by not allowing jail breaking?
Using the phone to DDoS or exploit towers would still be illegal and "technically" it's already possible do it now.
You can tell the real value by P/E. You study two competitors in a given industry. If one competitor has an innovation that is real, their stock will rise and their competitor's will usually drop. You really need to focus on and learn all about a couple of companies. If you try to just pick stuff at random it's like throwing dice.
If you really know what the companies are doing it's easier to predict trends, especially if you've been watching them for 5+ years. The trick is figuring out when an innovation or new product is actually viable.
Knowing as much as possible about what you are trading helps improve your odds. Shotgunning is a losing proposition.
In most companies (I would assume state or municipal authority has the same rules) inappropriate racial comments are forbidden by HR policy. Referencing a forum post is no different since everyone knows what's in the post and can see it.
Inappropriate comments from co-workers are inappropriate whether or not they are in "code language". It's usually a termination worthy offense.
My 2 cents...
I'd report it to my boss. If he didn't do anything I'd pull rank on him (and his boss, and so on) until something got done. If they fired me for it, there'd be a wrongful termination suit and I'd win.

"You cant magically get more CPU power."
Sure you can, get rid of the bloat caused by features that users never use, asked for, or wanted. Then, out of the box, turn off all services not necessary for the user to boot up, and train the OS to turn them on as the user uses stuff that needs them, instead of defaulting every whiz bang service to on.
It's not magic, it's common sense.

I'm not sure how that works in Europe.
Remember that unemployment statistics only tell part of the story. Also remember that wikipedia isn't the most reliable source of facts ;-)
