It would hardly qualify as an 'ad' if the 'ad' was information-rich.
That would be called a manual.
I have to agree about the vomitous mass rising in my throat when I think about apple marketing. I never understood why anyone would want to celebrate their ignorance like that.
Would Yoyo Ma be down with a more "outside the box" brand of cellos?
Who wants to spend Christmas practicing cello? Now I can just put the cello between my legs and beautiful music comes out. It lets me get in there and tinker. It just works.

Maggie in the Ayn Rand School for Tots is the best sequence in the entire series. The Great Escape bit is fantastic and...
Don't forget The Birds reference when Homer goes to pick up Maggie and has to walk through all the babies, then Alfred Hitchcock walking the 2 dogs in front of the school as Homer et al are walking to the car, the same 2 dogs he is walking onto a bus in The Birds
Sorry to geek out on the trivia, but it's another example of the type of stuff that is not present in current episodes.
And, to show just how much I love the Simpsons, my.sig is from Skinner's Mother's S.N.U.H. protest sign.
You know kids would just find a way around that, to hijack the main computer for their own sinister uses while blaming it on gator or something.
I think you're forgetting that this would be a M$ computer. The only hijacker on the computer would be Bill Gates.
Not to mention the fact that this feature will bring about a new society of peace and love, beccause parents won't have to be responsible for kids doing their homework. M$ will provide that service for them. Though the software will still only be provided as-is, with no homework-completion warranties expressed or implied.
Yes we are currently tracked my *many* technologies, which, when taken as a whole, can establish our respective identies. But it's a non-trivial exercise to get a hold of all of that information, as it is kept in many different places by different organizations who don't all have the same objective for having that information.
That's a very different situation to a single way of identifying myself. Especially since this type of technology is supposed to be *absolute* in it's ability to identify individuals.
I would rather have many different organizations keeping track of me in different ways for different reasons, none of which is an absolute way to identify me, than 1 way to identify myself to authorities, which is absolute, yet not completely secure.
Well, according to The Ultimate Guitar Book, Rickenbacker was the first to put electro-magnetic pickups(inductive) on to steel guitars.
Les Paul has this thing called "The Log" where he put some pickups on a 2x4, glued on a neck and some cutouts from an Epiphone, and went to Gibson in like 1941 saying, you sould build a guitar like this, which was supposed to give more sustain over the "Spanish Electric" guitars that people, like Charlie Christian, were playing at the time. Then in 1950, Fender started manufacturing the Broadcaster. The Broadcaster was a simple solid-body guitar with a bolt-on neck. So, Gibson sought him out in 1951 to design a guitar to his specifications to compete with the Broadcaster. They didn't want to put the Gibson name on it right away, so they called them Les Paul guitars.
I don't think that the a/d converters relative quality when compared to "the state of the art" is going to matter much. This type of guitar will have to be plugged into a matching amp, or whatever, to make any noise. That thing will have a modeler on the ouput to create the analog signal to the speakers.(I don't really understand how this will work for speakers, unless they were already powered like EONs or something. 1000's of watts through ethernet??) The modeler will have to compensate for the original quality of the a/d converters to create "good" tone. It's like having a POD built into the guitar/amp.
And if you're having trouble with those digital mixing consoles, just plop a mic infront of the amp instead.
But I think the parent poster was talking about *new* possibilities, not recreating old-ass tones that were played much better by someone else a long time ago. You'll be able to put seperate effects on each string, etc. Put enough effects on it and that initial a/d conversion won't matter at all. Just using strings instead of keys.
Music didn't start, nor shall it stop, with the electric guitar.
Don't tell people that. Especially vintage gear freaks. I think they will have a harder time dealing with that reality(rock n' roll is dead) than creationists have dealing with the reality that the Earth is several billion years old(not several thousand).
If it were possible to download the new episode of The Simpsons, un-cut(unlike syndication episodes are), yes, I would keep coming back to the website.
If anything that like that was available on the web, you definitely wouldn't see me hanging around here anymore.
some authority should keep a central server with a list of known good files
The beginning of this story worries about people not deleting these bogus files. Worries about people being too lazy.
I don't do much P2P, but are there really people who are too lazy to delete bad files?? So much so that you can't find what you are looking for? All the pr0n I ever downloaded from Kazaa was just dandy. Though I suspect that stuff is decent quality so that you go to the sites where the movie is from.
So I agree with the parent, fair but stupid. But if it succeeds in any way, it's people who don't delete the crap who are to blame.

Happy people don't need to complain about anything.
Neither do ignorant people.
Apparently 'laws' are more accurate than 'theories'. Well, quite.
Especially God's law.</sarcasm>
The reason I presume quantum mechanics is the final truth is because:
No other theory explains why I won't use a urinal right next to another urinal with someone else using it : )

the problem is that no one person ever does more than a few things worthy of mention in their entire life
That's why we're all here reading a blog.
That's like saying all 'data' is named after a cyborg on TNG.

They may enjoy it as much as you do

Les Paul pioneered "solid body" electric guitars.
I hope these new Gibson guitars don't come with that horrible security risk, Raw Sockets *gasp*

Try running that 1/4 inch cable through powerstrips filled to the rim with wall warts for your effects. Hear that hum??
That hum will still be present on the ethernet signal, but not in the packets. Even better than balanced.
Smoke more pot and it's even simpler.
