The unions already get their take from our (the artists') checks. And, as far as I've seen in the past 25 years, they've done slightly more than bugger all for us.
It's not a question of what I want; you clearly offered a guarantee, I'm simply asking you to honor it.
If you'd rather have the amps judged objectively, feel free to assemble a panel of audio experts. It's clear from your comments that you are an expert in both the audio and visual fields, so your sources and professional contacts must certainly include other highly-qualified, experienced experts.
Unless you are completely chanting out of your ass.
I guarantee you could get just as good a sound out of digital equipment as you can out of analog
OK, I'll buy a top of the line 18 watt 'digital' amplifier (your choice), and you buy a top of the line 18 watt tube amp (get one of these), and we'll see which one sounds better with a telecaster plugged straight into it.
Since you've included a guarantee, if my amp sounds crappy, you'll refund my money and give me the 18 watt tube amp.
Responding to...by the means of sampling without asking permission from the original author.
Are you suggesting that Hendrix asked for (or needed) permission to record "All Along the Watchtower" or "The Star Spangled Banner"? Because, if you are, you don't understand how music publishing works.
Are you suggesting that running a sampler or rapping is somehow less good that playing a guitar? Many people hated Hendrix because he relied too heavily on distortion and feedback, that he frequently played a guitar that wasn't in tune, he mumbled his lyrics, etc. Often, what those Jimi haters really hated was that he was a nigger, and that our precious children are being lost to his nigger music.
A person who dismisses rap as less than legitimate music should really examine the motives behind his prejudice, and wonder if he would have similarly hated John Lee Hooker, or Charlie Parker, or Louis Armstrong, or Jelly Roll Morton, or Scott Joplin, had he been alive in those eras. Each of these geniuses was vilified as a hack; accused of taking 'good' songs or styles and destroying them by 'dumbing down' or 'Africanizing' them. I've seen cartoons from the era in which Armstrong is depicted as a gorilla. A fucking gorilla!
Everyone has prejudices, I hate opera (not the browser), I think that modern operatic singing is an absolute perversion of the female voice, but I'm willing to accept that I must be missing something, not that Soprani are talentless.
Is your extension cord wormhole-compliant? Otherwise, you'll need massive battery to scan all that papyrus and sheepskin. Which raises another question, was that stuff A4, Letter, or Legal? Might need a wide format scanner. Better to just bring a portable hole, and some dwarves, and Kevin.
I edited your last statement [in order to do two things: imply that you stole something, which you most certainly did not, and to make myself out to be a reactionary moron].
Mod way up!! I have been blocking ads since privoxy. And I've been hearing the refrain the whole time: "The internet would be like it was back in 1993 if it weren't for the ads!" Sorry, I don't feel bad about blocking ads, if it makes the internet less profitable, so much the better. Think about how cheap the bandwidth would be if it wasn't being perpetually clogged up with ads and the shite sites that are supported by them! Most sites on the internet are spewing entertainment to clueless morons. We could just give them all CRTs showing flashy colors punctuated by ads for sugar with pork fat mixed in. If advertising is the only way you can make money, your business deserves to die. I hate advertising and, by extension, advertisers. Billboards, junkmail, commercials, spam, popups, etc. There is no difference. The wirld would be a better place if all of it went away, I'm just doing my part.
I work on a website for a medium sized CU, and our site is SSL only. We've been doing it that way since we introduced online banking. It kinda screws up the Google maps page (IE displays a warning), but we take member security pretty seriously. <aside>We also hold quarterly online security training sessions for our members, where we tell them how to avoid phishing, pharming, general ID theft stuff, etc.</aside>
As if he got so mad at his face, he cut off his nose to teach it a lesson. But of course, he ends up hurting himself, because he no longer has a nose. "...in spite of..." doesn't really work. Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to help out.
I just don't like the idea of space travel being taught as a fact. Or photography, for that matter. What kind of crackpot believes in "moving pictures" anyway?
It's important to note here, that Christians ARE bigots. A Christian believes that non-Christians are going to hell after the apocalypse. There is no way into heaven but through the grace of Christ, which is granted to all who believe in Him, and no one else. (John 3:16, I believe)
Furthermore, it is the responsibility of Christians to encourage others to abandon their (inferior, damned) beliefs, and to become a Christian, so that they agree with me, whom God approves of.
Other religions may have similar dogma (Hinduism doesn't, neither Buddhism), but I'm only sure about Christianity, the religion in which I was raised.
That translates to "I, and people like me are blessed, others are not."
That's bigotry. That's why I quit being a Christian.

If you're in the middle of a 2 day electricity outage, 911 will be about as helpful as your telco's phone center. Don't even bother.
...mild or insignificant or anything...By definition, placebo effect is indistinguishable from a drug's chemical reaction.
I'm not saying whether your result was placebo or not; just that you couldn't tell the difference.
Mind you, moose bites can be veri nasti.

Arrr, that's "Jibes", for we be comin' about, with the wind aft, matey.
When a nautical term is called for, why not make every day September 19th?
I agree. We should stop all development and research in this area immediately.
Is there anything else that people are working on that you don't see a need to improve? They should have checked with you first, I guess.

How, exactly, is that an example of begging the question? Did you mean "raises the question"?
- I was born in the U.S.
- I never seceded from the union
These are the only reasons to say it.Sorry, it's "savage breast" not beast.

Ver 1.2.2. On my ppc dual 1Ghz w/ 1G ram. 29sec to start. It's slow to start, but it does great once it's open.
Wrong. Start with "Revolver", then "Rubber Soul"
Not to be an idiom nazi, but:
It's "Cut off his nose TO spite his face."
As if he got so mad at his face, he cut off his nose to teach it a lesson. But of course, he ends up hurting himself, because he no longer has a nose. "...in spite of..." doesn't really work.
