The reason real guitarists prefer tubes is because of the distortion.
This is not entirely true. The dynamic known as "pick attack" is also something which solid state amplifier and DSP cannot reproduce with any level of accuracy.
Interesting, but Kemper disagrees with you. Their amps even have a "pick attack" knob.
Solid state just doesn't compare.
Solid state does many things well, but it has its own niche.
Well these days they do compare. Humans can't distinguish between an amp modeled on (for example) a Kemper modeling amp and the tube amp it modeled. A few years ago it was not the case, but DSP always wins in the end.
Bullshit.
I call bullshit on your bullshit:) Just watch the following video, where two experienced guitarists do a blind test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
In the mid 80's I got free dial-up internet by asking the local university for a "research account". I was nether staff nor student there, but they gave me one anyway, because they figured anyone who knew enough to ask for one was the sort of person who could put one to good use. Used that account for years.

Ya, the summary starts off with quite a whopper. First thing that caught my eye. Nothing hurts your message quite like blundering massively in the first sentence. "By extension, battery" my ass.
The "torrent file" that is downloaded is always a tiny file, it's a descriptor for the torrent you wish to join. It's like a URL (but it is not a URL). The way downloading torrents on Windows works is often: 1)Download a "torrent file". 2)Open the "torrent file", which causes Windows to do a file association, which has it open your torrent application and feed it the torrent file. You join the torrent swarm and start uploading/downloading.
Step 2 is the weakness: if you download something purporting to be a torrent file that is instead an executable, you might mistakenly allow it to run when you open it. The UAC will kick in and warn you, but still, shit happens.
My 60" LED tv has much nicer colour and contrast than the local cinema chain's digital projector. My couch is much more comfortable than those cinema chairs where there is room for one elbow, but two people want the space.
Of course, we teach beginning computer scientists lots of stuff in 101 courses that isn't actually true, like "there is never a good time to use GOTO" etc. In this case, the algorithm has great understanding and interpretation of the play in Go.
The table of contents is hilarious, I'll just list the first few....they are all the same as these: "6 creatives ways to use ownCloud" "10 cool tools from the Docker community" "6 useful LibreOffice extensions" "5 handy Drupal modules" "5 favorite open-source Django packages"
Reaper is very nice for the price...in fact, they will even let you continue using the free shareware version (full features, non-crippled) after the demo period, because the devs are nice folks. The only feature I really miss from Logic is music notation...admittedly, a pretty big feature that I *really* wish it had.
They've done an excellent job on other occasions when they published names. Case in point, outing the KKK.
No, I'm pretty sure they got that one totally wrong in the first take, and then partially wrong and just full of outdated info and bad geusses in the second attempt. Recent article, one of many that explain this: http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US...
No. They specifically cited the only fields of science where women have significant representation, while ignoring all the other fields where they're an extreme minority.
There are only two fields of science where women are an "extreme minority": engineering and computer science. There is math, where they are in a minority, but not really "extreme minority". There are many more fields where women are a significant majority, as it happens...like, by far most fields of study. And there are many large fields of study where men are the "extreme minority", and more extremely in the minority than the women are facing in engineering and science.
That is how I start the first week of my Intro to Programming course off; by having the students play Roborally. It is an excellent introduction to the concept of a program as a series of ordered instructions.
Ahhh, they probably wrote a VB app to "ping" his phone...I wish we had some video footage showing the size 400 font and single-button UI in action though.
German Police made very simple very basic risk assessment.
Yes, and they BLEW IT. Part of doing a risk assessment is weighing the risk against the benefits. They erroneously decided that the incredibly unlikely occurrence of a predator deciding to attack your child because they saw a photo on Facebook outweighed the benefit of sharing photos with people easily via Facebook.
I'll make a prediction: no matter how hard you look, you won't be able to find many fact-based news stories online where an actual predator attacked an actual child because of a Facebook photo. In fact, you probably won't find a single one. When I did that same search, I couldn't find any incidents that actually occurred, anywhere in the world. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean there weren't any, but I think it would be likely that if such a thing did happen it would get insane amounts of international news coverage; certainly if it happened in any statistically significant amount we'd hear about it, right? Instead,all we hear is fear-mongering "what if it happened", rather than "this happened 4000 times last year and here is where we found that info".

You mean you don't grok what "on the gripping hand" means?

Of course, the actual original quote is from Mark Twain (who attributed it to Benjamin Disraeli):

It's utter dreck, far worse than I anticipated.

Finally, a rational post. Wish I had mod points today.
I bet you brought it on yourself, by prancing around looking all delicious, wearing nothing but strategically placed parsley.
I wonder if I can talk my wife into this.
HE HEY HEY now! How can you not love a sport that lets you drink beer while you play?
I think the PS4 can *read* cds technically, but it had no media player app that can play audio cds.

So they pulled a Kobayashi Maru and Slashdotters are upset? I did not expect that.
Awesome book. Also highly recommend two of his other works, "The Sheep Look Up" and "Stand on Zanzibar", if you liked "The Shockwave Rider".

Did your SNES version use a mouse? That would be a pretty big difference.

Folks, I think we have a winner.
