Well, I always heard those Germans were sticklers for paperwork. (I'm about one quarter German, by descent.) I've always imagined that the Ethnicity was pretty well documented and substantiated. Probably correlating fairly well to our current conviction/execution : factual guilt ratio. Basically just a wild-ass guess, of course.
I've never used a guitar midi controller, but I always thought that being able to fret a chord across three octaves might prove useful compared to the one full octave I can do on a keyboard. I used to run XXX heavy strings, like.054-.014, wound B strings, &c. That would be good for midi control maybe? The pitch doesn't change much even when you bend'em way across the neck.
"China's exports per person are still much lower than those of Germany, which has a much smaller population of 80 million people. China sells low-tech goods such as shoes, toys and furniture, while Germany exports machinery and other higher-value products." That's 1.2 Trillion Apples to 1.17 Trillion Oranges, IMO. I don't think the Chinese worker's lives bear much superficial resemblance to the German's, but that's just a wild-ass-guess. I own a few shares of Tandy, and I quit doing business with Radio Shack, and 7-11 too, once I figured out how those Texas Corporations do business. YMMV, of course.
Surely, you jest; In fact, hot water emissions are about the worst day-to-day thing {and not a trivial issue} aside from the toxic residue, {which hopefully won't punish us too badly.};p
Seriously, in the time it took to RTFA, someone would always get the url registered. We must be in a recession. It's got a placeholder now. Notice I anticipated the mis-mod w/my sig. ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

I had an old manual portable typewriter that didn't have the 1. I don't remember the make, but it was pretty tiny compared to the desktop units. Everything folded in for transport. I recall an old unit I saw in a museum that was that way, one of the first as I recollect.
I've seen a little cult action up-close, and the Leadership has always tried to act VERY hip. I remember sitting down with Kristina Seher and "restoring" some old Rock Standards [Think "Weird Pat" Robertson doing The Beatles], up at Boonville. It helps to indoctrinate folks if you get 'em singing.
These guys may hang with the Lunatic Fringe, but they know what to say to get to their target audience. And the News seems to really cater to the Fringe Fans, heck, I've gone to watch a wildfire myself.
Thanks for the info. I have MS Office 2k and XP but only ever use notepad myself. Mostly SpellCheck just nags me about unknown words &c. I use odd language.;]
Here in the People's Republic of California, helmets are mandatory for anyone under 18, on any sort of wheel. Skates, bikes, &c. My son will probably cease to bear the embarrassment when he turns 18 next month; I wear mine if I ride to the mailbox. I've had enough of the negative reinforcement to retain the lessons. If a car knocks you off your bike, you could land on your head. (A van knocked me down once but I didn't happen to land on my head. Pure chance, he snuck up from behind so I had no influence whatever on how I bounced.)
The first time I learned about the Yamaha RD-400's capability for front-wheelies, I completely destroyed my Snell-5 rated helmet, and didn't suffer the least contusion. (I got pretty good at showing off with that trick once I knew it was coming.)

Maybe so, but I troll the mods like that ALL the time. It's my new hobby.
M&Ms.

IIRC it was in the text of TFA last time.

Can't find server. wtf?
Why do these people run things?

You post that as if you don't think they're on it already.

If Google made it work and gave it to Open Office, for that one improvement it would deserve to crush MS Office.
Is any one working on this? With all the excess capacity in the hardware, a software upgrade is overdue. Seems like a viable product to me.
Scotch is made from Barley. No corn.

Luxury! I wished I had a helmet many of the times I made an error whilst on my scooter.
Ah, but you try tellin' the kids nowadays, they won't believe ya!
