As a tribute to the potentially lost crew, We shall increase spending on Space exloration with the goal of establishing a permanent colony on Mars by 2013, the ten year anniversery of this tragedy.
These men and women of the shuttle Columbia loved space and space exploration. There can be nothing better we may do to give honour to this tragedy than to give their fellow colleagues the chance at manning serious space exploration. THANK YOU>

People so often make that mistake don't they. My prayers aren't to make things happen, except to clear my mind, to request a better capacity for love. I do it to pray.
You are wrong. He is not being distasteful. He is not a waste of human life. I am sure that he feels for the crew. He is scared NASA will not honour the pilots love of space flight by continuing on bravely throughout the solarsystem, but instead hide behind this tragedy and doing nothing.
tasteless? How so. Don't be rediculous. This is a very valid question. After the challenger we gave up on space.
Of course he feels for the crew, and their familes.
But he is obviously scared that NASA will become too scared to take risks, ever. The challenger did that for years.
These pilots risked their lives to be space pilots. They knew of the risks. They went willingly into those risks. Yes we should mourn. But we should realize that these pilots loved space, and to honour them we must explore space.
maybe if we supported nasa with money and REFORm we wouldn't have to fly an absurdly old space shuttle.
The crew deserve better than that. Give them the equipment they need.
this would be fine if the a/d converters were of very high quality. If they were of very high quality then you might be right. But high quality a/d converters can cost 10,000 per channel. I don't see this going into a poor man's guitar.
plus if you have a digital signal coming out of your guitar the you'd be forced to use a digital mixing board. Analog mixing boards are still king in sound quality.
in a digital mixing board, every time you adjust the treble for example, you are really adjusting the word length and redithering. bad bad bad
several mistakes in my post. like:I'd reccommend you let the studio do the d/a converting, as they probably invested some money into this very important component in digital recording
should read as:I'd reccommend you let the studio do the a/d converting.
also the analog to digital converters would have to be really good. High quality digital studios a good ten thousand dollars per channel for d/a converters.
I doubt the average guitarist will spend an extra ten thousand dollars for their guitar just to maintain this quality.
So. these guitars will be outfitted with cheap converters, destroying any chance for quality sound.
Cheap converters add many artifacts to appear that are not musical. analog does of course add artifacts of their own, but these artifacts tend to be more musical and pleasing to our ear. ie:tube amps create a pleasing distortion when pushed sufficiently by the amp. But the digital artifacts are generally displeasing. physiologicaly.
Also cheap converters have greater problems with things like jitter.
Jitter is a phenomenom that occurs when the a/d converter is not perfectly in sync with the "system clock". this also causes artifacts to appear.
I'd reccommend you let the studio do the d/a converting, as they probably invested some money into this very important component in digital recording.
Guitars like this will not improve the quality of recordings for the poor artist, just when it is becoming apparent that we as artists, must throw off the yoke of the recording industry and make our own recordings. own our own music, and distribut it ourselves. etc.
a perfect example of a +5 comment that is idiocy. Deep Junior is a champion because it plays other chess computers in tournements. This was indicated in the article, besides. Please mod the parent down to its appropiate level.

Bush is a supporter of space exploration. So is his father. the day america gives up on space is the day i give up on America.
thank you for setting that guy straight

But the technology to build it had to be developed before that. at least by ten years for the majority of it. Thus 30 year old tech.

how about the way we pay them? Cost + percentage is horrible..companies want to overrun their budget

what another thief took the the remaining bit thinking he'll snag some more?
Beans again?! I think not.
its a/d converters.. and yes they are expensive if you want quality. Do some research man
visit slashdot.
zangband is better. they should port it to a console.. oh yeah they dont have enough buttons for the game
not to mention the cost of quality a/d converters.
also if the converts were of nice quality. but the wont.. because.. theyre expensive.
the cheap converts are pretty shitty.
oh and i meant a/d converters in the subject header. my apologies for the parent
