yes, because what you're hearing is such an accurate reproduction of the natural sounds of your electric bass.
*sigh* well, at least he did say it was subjective...
As a Bass Player who has been in on more than a few sessions, I can tell you that my ears tell me that there is a difference between a nice Mesa Boogie or classic tube amp, and a straight transister amp.
I own both types. Both have pluses and minuses. But for bass, you can not beat the tube sound, even sythetic tube is just not the same, the ear knows.
Dude, Mr. 56 has a VERY new posting history, probibly some friend of CmdTaco. I'll bet you are the sort of guy who would give me head if I let you into the club. Holy cow.
I have some property you might be interested in. What? No.... It's perficly legit. I just need to get rid of it for tax reasons. Deed? No...... It's free and clear. Let's do lunch? Hows your wife?

My main jab at these "open schools" is the credit for study issue. Obviously, there is benefit from having input such as syllabus and lecture notes, these are things that you just don't get in a heavily edited book. But really: If your going to put all that work into doing the class work, why would you NOT want credit for it? Yes, yes, yes, it's sad that we have to quantify persons worth by how many and what kind of degrees they have, this is a reality. Sure there is personal satisfaction in learning something, that's why I went to school. But for the most part, until I am retired, I want credit for it. This is the world we live in, and I do not intend on dieing a bum on the street because I spent all my time in the library, but have no degree. "Do you want fries with that"?
That's good, because it's the precise reason I don't buy books offline anymore. If I'm buying a new book, I want it to be new, not used by one or more people sitting around stuffing their faces and messing up the binding.
How true, when I read books at Borders, I make sure that I masturbate in the washroom and don't wash my hands before I select my title.
When you are at work, in your office or cubicle or whatever, and the telephone rings, and you answer it...under NO circumstances is it appropriate for the first word out of your mouth to be "Hello?"
No? How about just plain "WHAT!" or "FUCK YOU" and a nice healthy SLAM! Or "DUDE! I'm, like, in the MIDDLE of some serious SHIT. Call back." But not "Hello"? How about "Hi, how are you, I have gas"? I mean, a suggestion as to why "hello" is so bad, or some alternatives might be nice.
Seriously, "Hello" followed by perhaps your name or department is JUST FINE.
Is it polite to post some unsuspecting person's phone number on a well trafficked bulletin board and have 250,000 people try and call at the same time?
Judging from previous comments here at Slashdot, only if it's the number of a spammer or SCO executive.
By a fucking ad and support slashdot instead of posting it as a story please.
What makes you think this isn't exactly what's going on? Story placement is a *big* part of any PR department's job...
I learned my phone skills in the military. But telemarketers who ignore the do-not-call list have forced me into a corner. Now, I simply hang up on them rather than waste more than 10 seconds on trying to be polite. I feel for the person on the other end who is often just some low wage person trying to make a living, but that's not my problem.
Actually, when the story first came out, when everyone else accused M$ of slanting the search because they could not find "linux", I said this very thing. I had to sooth by burns with BBQ sauce for days after.
Kinda what I thought, as in "so what" and "perhaps THAT'S why the new MSN test search is SO DAMN SLOW".
And if you read the story (RTFA?), you also learn that this guy was a lead developer of the codebase he hacked into, so it's probible he already knew enough to splice it into The New MSN, if he's like 99.9% of all techies, he already has copies of some of the code burned to CD from when he worked there.
This is really not a Microsoft issue, although Slashdotters will wet their pants over this, blind to the fact this took place YEARS before this guy came to M$, and his "excuse" is kind of understandable: He wanted to see how "his" baby had evolved since he left AV. Maybe, maybe not. But still not the "Micro$oft" smoking gun....
Oh, right. I remember my mother, the standard by which all computer users can be compared. I can't even imagine trying to explain to her what an internet browser is...
This is a worn out argument. It simply isn't true for most people in a general sense. While it may be true that the "average" non'techie does not know the under-the-hood differences between browsers, they generally DO know that IE is not Windows (well, actually it is, but we'll avoid that can of worms for now...), they do know that it is "program" that you run on Windows (well, not really, but we'll avoid that can of worms...).
As I have said before, for these people ("Joe Sixpack" if you like, although that's a bit insulting) the problem is not the issue of what is or is not a "part" of Windows, the problem is that OSS browsers like Mozilla do not have a powerful marketing machine pushing them to the public. HELLO?
What he's say (albeit in a definite "troll" like way) is that 1% is statistically insignificant in that such a small margin is generally thought to be more likely the normal variation in sampling procedures and techniques. And, he's probably right.
True. And also, for him to say the NZ gov is preventing him from getting a job in his area of experise in NZ is just crap. NZ does not have any rocket / missle manufacturers.

Mods, why is this a troll? Offtopic yes, but troll? Pull the Fretoes bags back from your face. THIS is a troll.
Actually, Mr 56 is Taco. Look at his article submission stats. EVERY FUCKING ONE.

I dont get so creative unless I need to remember the addy for like, my NYT account. Usually, it's auygduya@sdueue.com.
And tell me, kind sir, how many sweat shops do you sue in a year? GOOD FUCKING LORD! HANG UP AND LET IT GO!

Ya know, learning for learning is fine as far as it goes. But if it doesn't come with credit for a degree, the bookstore is just as good.
Oh please. IT'S A WASTE OF TIME! HANG UP!

Screw themes. Let's work on functional features.
Heretic. YOU MUST BURN!

Ah, you funny Euopeans! Allways using your heads to solve a problem! Microsoft must not have paid of your IT execs.

But it's emotionally uplifting all the same.
Now that would be significant...

Yes.
