That's what killed me with regular guitar back in the day, was the tuning. I simply couldn't do this. I tried, lord knows I tried. But the timbre of a note would throw me. The little strings did it . . . I could get the low strings to tune, but the tinny ones, the tinny sound threw me on the note more than the actual note.
I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly, I just know my ear wasn't doing it for the guitar.
But Guitar Hero is a game. It's not a guitar but it certainly makes me want to pick one up again. And then I go "oh yeah, I can't tune the damn thing" and fail miserably at Crossroads again on GH.
The grandparent is somewhat right. The term's "ph" originates from an original attack vector from back in the days of 300 baud called "phone phreaking".
I found the only major adjustment I had to make in my lifestyle in college was changing my major to Business. Once I did that I could behave as badly as I did in high school. (worse in my case, as the lack of parental supervision allowed me to do horrible things)
As has been said over and over and over - warrants could already be gotten retroactively, and most of the 4th amendment restrictions have already been broadened over the last 4 decades. If the gov't wants to tap someone, they can already.
But there should be oversight, at the very least a paper trail.
The post here is old news. . . Congress passed this bill 2 days ago I think.
The Senate struck a deal and passed a near-identical bill yesterday, which is the horrifying piece. It appeared as though the two bills were going to be irreconcilable and we'd still have that Constitution thingie protecting us, but in the interest of politics they passed this.
They really have broken their oaths.
This is how I expect it went down:
Pollsters are showing that terrorism is an issue the Repubs "win" on - polls improve in their favor when they continuously harp on it. (as opposed to the War in Iraq, which DROPS their poll numbers)
Therefore, in the interests of the party, they pass this bill raping the concepts of checks and balances so they can . . .
Begin an attack-dog campaign demonizing Democrats as "cut and runners" and "soft on security" which is the only way they have any sort of a shot of maintaining control of Congress.
6 People? In meatspace you'll go through 60 before you find one that's a keeper.
I'm in a very successful (so far, knock wood etc) relationship with someone I met online. To get there, I think I went through 30 girls?
Hooked up with some of them, shot down by more of them, and generally found the whole process a huge pain in the ass. BUT I also ended up w/the current one and that makes it something I consider a success.
I'd suggest looking at sites that interest you and joining their dating site. (though it probably hooks up to spring street networks, which kind of blows) I met my gf through the Onion personals.
In general it's a very frustrating method of dating, but dating is frustrating no matter how it goes down. Online you have the luxury of disconnecting from place/time to do it, which is nice. (you can travel and still browse for people in your home area)
I'm of the opinion it's another vector but shouldn't be your sole vector.
Comedy Central's Daily Show is a good place to start;)
Generally speaking, Americans who want to be informed go to alternate sources for their news and analysis, since network television news is all about ratings, ratings, ratings.

NPR is a fantastic source for news (and as a bonus you get to hear stuff from David Sedaris and other humorists; the Artie Lange interview from 2 weeks ago was fantastically poignant and can be had via pod/audcast from npr.org)
For printed media most of the progressives I know head right to the Economist, and for crapper reading, The Week. (The Week is fluffier but attempts to represent an even keel by publishing articles from all sides of an issue. It's still blurby and sound-bytes though, with not a helluva lot of analysis)
Another=, oddly, great printed source is the Christian Science Monitor. Its bias is very centrist; some argue it's the least biased news source in the nation, but I've heard that mostly from conservatives so I salt it.:)
Other than the print media, however, there's not much going on in the "news" business that's worthwhile. Which is a disturbing and sad fact, but it is what it is and citizens who wish to remain vigilant and fight the good fight still have tools to do so.
Iron Maiden artwork was not meant to be squeezed onto a CD cover....
Damn straight. You try finding Derek Riggs's signature on Powerslave. Can't do it on a CD. Incidentally, that was the hardest record to find it on, because of all the hieroglyphics. I didn't find it UNTIL I went to the record cover.
He had a bit about writing on his computer, and how it's really tough to concentrate with access to the internet and all the stuff. It's like sitting a 12 year old in the middle of Toys R Us and saying "Do your math homework!"
Not the only source, but a half-assed google search found the AMA with an article on page 1.
Lots of goodies there, here's one: "A higher MLDA results in fewer alcohol-related problems among youth, and the 21-year-old MLDA saves the lives of well over 1,000 youth each year (Jones et al, 1992; NHTSA, 1989). Conversely, when the MLDA is lowered, motor vehicle crashes and deaths among youth increase. At least 50 studies have evaluated this correlation (Wagenaar, 1993)."
One of the primary reasons for a 21 year old drinking age is to make it harder for teenagers to get alcohol, thereby reducing the risk of teenage drunk drivers. And it works - not too many 21 year olds go to high school.
Also - needle exchanges for drug addicts are a workable program that have succeeded in what they're designed to do - prevent the spread of blood borne diseases.
Lots of things drill down to that decision, which is what a product manager's job essentially is.
Off the back of a napkin, you need to know:
Forecasted sales, by region
Distribution network capabilities
lead time of product manufacture, and an analysis of any potential long-lead parts. Long lead parts are any electronics product that potentially take 5-6 months or longer to acquire. I don't know what the allocation picture is on electronics right now (if there even is one) as I've been out of high tech for a little while.
JIT isn't a really great model, IMO. Its end result is the upstream suppliers (with less negotiating power than a Toyota or Sony) holds the excess inventory (and consequently, risk) but nothing really changes froma production standpoint.
A bit simplified, but that's what I've seen in the Real World.
Finally, the first production run is going to be painful, it always is. It's a little surprising that they're not starting manufacturing yet, and I'd expect it to begin immediately following Labor Day weekend if they expect to hit a Christmas release. But that's off the cuff - we don't know how many production facilities they've got, what they're average units/hr are, nor what they're distro network looks like. It could be a case where they have an exceedingly efficient distro network which is all cross-docking and freight breaking, so units can come into the states in small amounts and filter efficiently to the retailers. (I'd doubt it, however; it strikes me that you'd want to resell to WalMart, Meijer's, Best Buy, etc and force their distribution networks to do the dirty work)

He's done a great job for anyone in the oil industry?
I may end up doing something like that. Hooray disposable income! In high school (when I first started playing) this wasn't really viable.

for what it's worth, it hurt to type this

Phishing (with a ph) is a homage to that.

A leftie free trade advocate and fiscal conservative, who would've thunk it?
And the best part is they're really hard (if not impossible) to challenge!
Hooray for executive abuses!

Galactic Civilizations 2 was shipped sans copy protection, and did rather well. Pretty good game, too. Shame it's not Mac compatible.

There's no such thing as gravity - the earth sucks.
It's luggage. The correct answer is luggage.
Kind of appropros.
I think you're concerned about uploads.
The woman is terribly right. For you, not me. I'm huge, it's the internets.
As stated above, it's 6% in a day, not your annual return. Rather major difference there.

Thanks for playing.

And if your program ain't TP, and it's a text editor, then chances are you're charging way too much.
If it is TP, then thanks for the great program, I use it a lot. (And yes, I have bought it once)
