IAAGT (I am a guitar tech). It is not the strings. It is most likely the bridge on your acoustic is worn down and needs to be replaced. Take it to a repairman and get it fixed. Bridges are not designed so your strings are sharp or flat. Saddles get worn, and they need to be replaced. The sharp/flat thing is more likely than not just you running across the fact that guitars are NEVER correctly in tune. I suggest you check out this article by Jack Endino and read up on it:

That could happen with anything, including GPL software. The author can change the license at any time. AFAIK, the works that were under the GPL remain that way, but it would require a fork and a new dev team to keep it going.
No, jackass, but it's fun to use that theory to annoy them.
"You know for a fact that there is a God. You have been in his presence. He's spoken to you personally, and yet I just heard you claim to be an atheist."
"I just like to fuck with the clergy, man. I just love it. I just love to keep those guys on their toes."
Hey, it's nice to see you completely missed the entire fucking point of that article. It's about PROBABILITY, not open vs closed. In an open source project, especially those of a large enough scale where not every file is checked all the time, the PROBABILITY of someone implating malicious code is much higher simply because more people have the code and can modify it.
It says nothing about response time in FIXING the problem, and never says that it can't happen in closed software.
No, the ultimate in irony would be me telling you to grow the fuck up and realise the world doesn't revolve around you, then running off to play with my GI Joes while complaining about people on cell phones.
It would be great to run across someone talking to another person about how he was jamming cell phones. I'd run over real quick and tape his mouth shut. "I'm sorry, your talking was disturbing me while I was eating. Shut the fuck up." Jackasses.

They're only intrusive if you let them be. I've been at many a movie where a cell phone rang and it doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Just ignore it.
Further into the article it mentions the built-in cameras and how they can be used in showers or something similar. Anyway, how is it rude to talk to someone in a public place where people are talking all around you? It's rude to be yelling into the phone because the person on the other end can't hear you, but as long as you're using a tone of voice keeping with the volume level of the people around you, what's the problem?
I'll stop using phones in public places when you stop talking in public places. What the fuck does it matter if I'm talking to someone next to me or someone in another state?
Hell no. When you use sample, you take that chance. That's just the way it works. I'm not saying I'm for it, but you have to be extremely stupid not to have seen this coming.
I've never had any stability issues with Office, and OOo's glacial speed puts me completely off of it.
If you want an open source VB-alike, check out Gambas. I've been using it for only a couple of days and have managed to put together a stupid game with a GUI, which is more than I can say for my time with VB.
Are you completely ignorant as to the usage of quotation marks? It's common practice, though grammatically incorrect, to use quotation marks as a sort of qualifier. It's the written verision of "Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more."
Office's ubiquity is why OO and KOffice are pretty much doomed. If IBM can port Office and retain all of the functionality without dragging it down to OO level slowness, why not do it? No more whining about not being able to open.DOC files, unless you're RMS.
As if OOo isn't bloated. It runs at about half the speed Office does on my computer. Besides that, what you view as bloat is FUNCTIONALITY to someone else. 90% of people will only use 10% of Office's capabilities, but those 90% will all use a different 10%.
Or because the guy didn't have the rights to reproduce and release half the stuff that was on the album. You think that might be it? Hmmm? I have no sympathy for anyone stupid enough to sample something and not clear it before releasing it.

Heavy trem arm abuse on a Strat with a vintage trem is not condusive to good tuning.
I have a ton of Japanese language songs but I don't speak a damn bit of Japanese. Want to make a better point? ;)
Where'd I put my mod points... dammit, I think I left them in my other pants...

Only the base parts of XFree go under the new license. All contributed code stays under whatever license the contributor wants.

As if they didn't already have enough fuel from the "Microsoft abuses human rights in China" headline a few days back. But they don't give a shit.
But all the games that I mentioned did well in the arcades. No, they weren't to the level of MK or SF2, but how many games ARE?
Cursed? Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, Metal Slug, Pulstar... that doesn't sound very cursed. ;)
And for the extremely anal, yes I know SNK didn't develop a couple of those.
Exactly.

The most insightful comment on /. in a while gets modded as a troll. Brilliant.
