1. It was on Spike. Not NBC. Not Fox. Not even the game show network. They have no advertisers, so they have to advertise during the show. (Watch the commercials sometime, most of the commercials they show are for their OWN SHOWS).
2. What's the problem with rap? Video games feature prominently in the mainstream african american community, while in the white community they are still by and large considered "childish" or "geeky". Know your audience my friend, that's what it is all about. You do know that Snoop is putting out a GTA type game right?
See that's the thing, they only want the wealthy or incorporated to have real internet access. By keeping the proles on dialup and addicted to tv, they maintain their control over the media, and thus the minds of the populace. This is one of the reasons the internet has not had the transforming effect on society we all expected bacy in 1993.
Thank you for posting the single most retarded statement in the history of slashdot. Where's Oog when you need him?
I hear what you're saying, but don't forget, lots of advancements out there have been outright spurned by guitarists. Anything digital is one. How about the steinberger tuning style? I've had a couple, they NEVER go out of tune, and you can change a string in about 40 seconds on guitar or bass. Their trans-trem system was equally amazing.
Also the use of non-traditional woods and polymers (graphite stuff, a la parker) has also been put aside by the masses. When in fact, the tonal differences are minute at best (especially when using any sort of effects on a guitar, overdrive or eq)
Well it claims +- 2 cents, which should be in the range of proper guitar tuning. However, the mass guitar playing population has never been keen on technology changes in their instruments. There is a reason the most popular guitars are still strats and les pauls, neither of which have changed much in the last 50 years.
I'm sorry, when did Red Hat make a profit again? Last I heard they 'broke even' because their shares only lost $.02 per.
IBM floated a bill, that's true. That's also 1% of their operating budget. Your facts are wrong therefore your opinions are invalid. You are the weakest link.

FYI:
That term was invented here on slashdot.
It was later popularized by the same people on k5 when we learned how easy it was to annoy them.

In addition, taxes have consistantly risen here over the last 10 years to help pay for it.
