  1. Re:So where's it going to get power? on Gibson to Embed Guitars with Ethernet · · Score: 0

    True, but phantom power over the wireless the parent spoke of might not work so well(?).

  2. Re:Hmm, was getting away from digital on Gibson to Embed Guitars with Ethernet · · Score: 0

    I've gone through the digital ride the past two years, Boss GT-3 -> Pod -> Flextone -> yada, yada. It's so flexible and it's 'supposed' to sound great, how come I only managed to make it sound 'ok'? I finally gave up on it and now I have a Vox AC30, and it sounds like god himself reaches down and touches that amp when I crank it. Digital might be the future, but it's not quite the present yet (imho of course, others who might now what they're doing when tweaking the digitial stuff might live in a digital present)!

  3. Re:1st p0st on Gibson to Embed Guitars with Ethernet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Since when is a Gibson a poor man's guitar? ;)

  4. Re:So where's it going to get power? on Gibson to Embed Guitars with Ethernet · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Guitars with active pickups today get their power from batteries in a cavity in the guitar. Don't know how much power this thing will need but a similar solution is probably not out of the question.

    The hair metal band are(were) from California.
    (This is obivously a massively important fact in the context of this thread and this glaring inaccuracy cannot be left uncorrected. Canada may have had Bryan Adams but their hair metal was inferior and they all seemed to want to be from L.A instead of Canada, exemplified by lyrics like "Have you heard the news today, the kids are all shakin' in the USA" by Helix. Surely a Candian band should be singing about kids shakin' in Ottawa? NOTE: I'm not from the USA or Canada)

  6. Re:I prefer [nameless client] over Kazaa. on 2002 MP3 Winners and Losers · · Score: 0

    His client is Sub7. Everyone is sharing with him, but noone knows they're doing it.

  7. Re:First to market with what? on Microsoft Shows Off Watch, Portable Media Player · · Score: 0

    Apple weren't first to market with the iPod either, but they still have the best hard drive mp3 player now. (IMHO of course (yes I know it's expensive)) Maybe that's more important in the long run.

  8. Re:Faithful to Tolkien's writings? on LOTR: The Two Towers · · Score: 0

    Anyone who reads parent posters ramblings and starts thinking that maybe that Bakshi version is good, and maybe they should go find it so they can watch it, should read this page. Summary: it is not good. At all.

    Then, after I get the ring, the first thing I do is take you and bind you to a platform.
    Mr. Gates, is that you?
  10. Re:Faramir got jobbed (Nit Pick) on LOTR: The Two Towers · · Score: 0

    Minas Tirith _is_ the white city. In Gondor. In the movie they were in Osgiliath. In Gondor.

  11. Re:It's ironic... on Acacia Steps Up Content-Transfer Patent Claims · · Score: 0

    On the other hand, just imagine how much the porn industry would rake in if they'd have the same budget as Peter Jackson. Who would NOT go and see a movie with a MASSIVE gangbang with the hero and 9999 Natalie Portmans?

  12. Re:Other iPods... on Apple Hawks Madonna iPods · · Score: 0

    What the fuck?!?! You've heard our new album?!?! When I find the fucker who leaked it I'll fucking kill him, this new sound was supposed to be kept secret!!! Sincerely, Lars

  13. Re:Some insight into chinese culture on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 0

    He's talking about the whole Pirate culture, not just the chinese subset of it.

  14. Re:We was right on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 0

    Taking it home would only have helped if:

    a) He was telling the truth about being offered them and not just spinning wild tales of horrible world wide piracy (which, considering you're right about him having a copy would be helpful, seems like a perfectly plausible scenario)

    and

    b) If a), the sellers weren't trying to scam him and the actual movie on the disc(s) he was offered really was The Two Towers instead of Debbie Does Beijing.

  15. Re:LotR... on Psst! Eight Bits Gets You "The Two Towers" In China · · Score: 0

    Calling LOTR bookends silly is ungondorian. If LOTR bookends are silly, Sauron wins. I must be an orc though, because I bought the 4 disc version without the bookends.

  16. Re:Anyone up for Quake 101? on An Interesting Look at the Video Game Industry · · Score: 0

    "Hello, I'm professor Romero and I'm going to make you my bitches." After Daikatana, should he not be taking this class instead of teaching it?

  17. Re:pay up taco on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 0

    I want 20 anually from every internet cafe in Finland. They make money from people coming into their place reading Slashdot, it's only fair they pay me.

  18. Re:Spoiler filled? on Lord of the Rings: Two Towers Reviews Rolling In · · Score: 0

    I've read the books and I'm a fan of them. Some of the changes in the first film were a bit hard for me to take when I first saw it (that might be silly, but that's another discussion), and I would actually not mind knowing a bit more about what kind of changes to expect in order for me not to go ballistic in the theater again.

    So maybe I should go Read The Articles(tm) now, before posting again.

  21. Re:Pure speculation on my part on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 0

    If copyright is for something that IS published, is it ok (from a copyright law point of view) to put/get Eminems album on/from Kazaa before it's released. I have a sneeky suspicion it is not!

  22. Re:Yet another reason... on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 0

    Companies have been able to copyright collections of facts like phone numbers so why not?


    Uh oh, the guy above who posted the number for the reporter can expect the FBI to break down his door any time now.

    I think we should start with 2 letters and 3 numbers, so someone would get to say this in real life: TK-421, why aren't you at your post? TK-421?

  25. Re:Big deal (SPOILER!) on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 0

    Frodo was a hero in the cleansing of the shire? Seemed to me he mostly was tired, moaned and sat around while the others did the hero stuff. He'd done his part already, like. I got the feeling the other hobbits never really did realize what a huge thing he'd done for the world and looked up to Pippin and Merry more, and that helped convey a sense of Frodo not really belonging there anymore. That in turn made the real ending work even better. Maybe that's just me!
