The pickups are always magnetic well there are other types like piezo (which are for nylon string accoustics) but most pickups will have a magnetic effect as the sound is created by the string passing throught the magnetic field ans producing electricity. if the magnetic pull of his pickup is strong enough to de tune the strings its likley that the tunning heads are weak but this is unlikley in a new guitar or likley the strings are fresh and new with a lot of give. My fender strat requires a lot of stretching the strings whilst tuning fresh string for the first time whilst my epiphone dosen't
The 101st Airborne are trained to wear sunglasses and ride around in humvees, shooting orphanages with LAWs.
the big problem is that american soldiers are trained to worship at the alter of firepower most of them would see nothing wrong, wastefull or unproportinal with responding to a single sniper with and airstrike as often happend during the current iraqi war.
but i would put the 101st and us marines above the average soldier, the 101st did have some real fighting on there hands as they where to only none kurdish troops in the north (the parachute landings were overly dramatic) and they where expecting to be able to send a second infantry column trhought turkey to support which they couldn't in the end.
send them on good training course the average british squadie spends 3+ days without food and sleep or chemical stimulants and elite forces like SAS & marines can do 5+ (althought they are often halucinating after a few days during the falklands with a long period of no sleep or food one SAS soldier said that all he could see was a mug of beer hovering in front him). I would be supprised if top American units like 101st etc don't train to this level already, they just need to extend it to the whole army and then they won't have to spend loads on pills a risk getting sued or chimically screwing there soldiers up
Car dealers are going to hate having to fit out second hand cars with this interlock as they make most of there profit on the second hand car rather than a new one. I wonder how many are going to insist that any cars they buy coming up to the dead line are fitted out.
The interlock is something that has been talked about on and off in the UK don't think any has ever been successful commercially or has even got out of the prototype stage, but then there hasn't been a law requiring them here either.
random 'rolling retests' to discourage others from taking the test for you. These rolling retests require the driver to take the test as the car is moving.
how would that work if it tested the air of the car then you could be sober as the day you where born but the car won't start because of your drunken mate you've picked up (so he wouldn't have to drive) alternatively the driver could blow into a tube which would meen a break in concentration taking eyes of the road as dangerous as drink driving
this is unlikley to be popular Most guitarists are traditionalists valves are our main preference whilst transistors are devil spawn in an amp.
The only people likley to buy this are those who use a lot of diffrent tunnings in performance, but then they have to weight this against the likley reduction in the guitar's worth. I dont' think it would be worth forking out money to reduce the value of your pride and joy it might be the sort of thing i would put into my epiphone but never my strat. Didn't see a price on the site but some one mentiond $4000 at that price you could buy 3-4 gibson les pauls or 2 cornford hellcat amps, when compared to that it's not value for money at all.
This isn't going to be worth it for the majority of players who use just one or two tunnings as you can get electric tuners for 5 that tune just as accuratley if not more so.
I can see this being right up jimmy page's street but it's not going sell big.
To Slashdot, it's a "culture movement" because artists don't deserve to be paid for the work they put in to renting a studio, spending a month recording something, pressing CDs, and marketing it with their label.
It's the big record companys who are keeping the majority of artists poor whilst keeping CD prices high that are in the wrong because they are gouging both customer and artist. The vast majority of recording artists Recive hardly any money for there effort as most of it's taken by the record compan'ys it's not Slashdot that belive artist don't deserve to be paid it's the RIAA and those like them (i.e you). If I'm going to pay money for something that cost's a lot of money and the artist is going to get very little of that then I am going to make sure it is worth buying and the artist is worh the small support RIAA allows me to give by downloading and seeing if I like there music.
The following is a list of artist's who's music I would not have bought if I had been unable to listen to there music first
Pink floyd
Led zeppelin
Fleetwood mac
Pink
The darkness
John Lee hooker
Squeeze
Joe satriani
Steve via
Eric Johnson
Steve ray Vaughan
Beck
Most are music of an older generation which I would never get to hear often enough to decide if I like them if the RIAA had it's way those artist's would have sold less records but i suppose that's ok by you
A stupid windows user will be an even more stupid linux user. Sorry to tell y'all this. Them the breaks
Yeh but window starts of with everything open and ready to be abused regardles off XP's firewall (which seems to stop more legimet code than malicoiuse code and is no substitute for a real firewall) Where as Linux comes with everything closed.
Update as much as you can, don't run every binary you find, use a virus scanner [keep it up to date] and use a firewall. Heck even the stupid WinXP firewall is sufficient to protect users from most default settings virii
Your average stupid windows user is not going to do this where as you average stupid linux user shouldn't need to. However when comes to using the OS your spot on but when it comes down to it your stupid linux user is better protected by default than your average windows user.
"if you don't fence in the crops deer will eat it all".
A shoddy fence with holes in it is no fence at all also deer/hackers are rather good at getting over fences as with real life the best way to stop deer and other vermin from eating your crops is to kill (arrest for the hackers) them fences are an expensive ineffective and lazy solution and so is hidding your source code rather than making it secure in the first place.
Actually its brewed just down the road from me in Reading (pronouced Reding if your called bill gates and don't know where your european headquaters is based)
nobody can be responsible for making it secure. And if nobody can take that responsibility, it doesnt get used.
So you don't use windows either then as microsoft won't take responsibilitiey to make it secure.
If anybody put Linux on their desktop computer, I would try as hard as I could to get that person fired. They arent there to play, they are there to work. And their work doesnt involved compromising my security or environment with non-standard applications.
but it's okay to be playing petty office politics instead of working
Did you even RTFA? The Americans didn't blow up anything. The Soviets bought computer chips and used them to control the operations of the pipeline.
You certainley didn't.
When we turned down their overt purchase order, the K.G.B. sent a covert agent into a Canadian company to steal the software; tipped off by Farewell, we added what geeks call a "Trojan Horse" to the pirated product.
"The pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines and valves was programmed to go haywire," writes Reed, "to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to the pipeline joints and welds. The result was the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space."
So who programed the software to go haywire and cause an explosion?
the thought that someone else controls if your mail gets delivered.
Far too many people depend on email for it to be potentially dropped into a black hole like this if a neighbour of your ISP happens to be a spammer.
Stopping stealing or in anyway disrupting the post is illegal shouldn't this apply to e-mail. I don't like receiving spam anymore than the next person but if you don't splash your e-mail address around the internet then you don't get junk.
Fax.com didn't exactly help its cause when it sent 1,634 junk faxes in one week in 2001 to the Washington, D.C., law firm of Covington & Burling, resulting in yet another successful lawsuit against the company.
What did they think that a law company wouldn't know the law. if i broke the law in someway i would expect to go to be punished. they have one simple option stop breaking the law stop sending unsolicited faxes.
The worst part is, most experts apparently think removal of software tools and access to information from the majority of computer and Internet users would be a good thing."
a good thing for who? Those who write malicious code or those who charge a premium for there knowledge and tools, because it isn't a good thing for your average user. This guy isn't clueless he knows that any PHB who reads this article is probably going to s**t a brick and then write a big check to get this guy's advise on what to do.
all the Francophiles try to rewrite history, but the fact is, the myth of the French resistance, is just that, a myth. Having read numerous accounts of the ETO, from generals to privates, to historians like Ambrose and keegan, none give more than token credit to la resistance.
Not just that but your average French Citizen regarded the resistance as the enemy because they would be on the receiving end of any retaliation, and don't forget those that actively fought or worked for the Germans or the Vichy regime
The resistance and marquis (armed resistance) did try to do a lot for to free there country but there efforts were hampered by there own countrymen especially in the south under Vichy control. Allo Allo was the best bit of propaganda the resistance ever had

So as not to be off topic I guess most of these guys would find the tuner a handy thing for the diffrent blues tunnings
The pickups are always magnetic well there are other types like piezo (which are for nylon string accoustics) but most pickups will have a magnetic effect as the sound is created by the string passing throught the magnetic field ans producing electricity. if the magnetic pull of his pickup is strong enough to de tune the strings its likley that the tunning heads are weak but this is unlikley in a new guitar or likley the strings are fresh and new with a lot of give.

Actually its brewed just down the road from me in Reading (pronouced Reding if your called bill gates and don't know where your european headquaters is based)
