That writer isn't a published musician like myself and a fair part of my family, I bet he couldn't actually PLAY a guitar in the first place. His opinion is therefore quite invalid, as he has no expertise or relevant experience to make such an accusation or appraisal.
I've used it, it does do what it claims. Disney also has their own version out, but it's not as advanced.
Not even close. Have you even seen the latest AMD Fusion? It shits all over Intel+ION.
"That's a bit like saying ford is the worlds greatest motor company because of the Model T, and then neglecting to notice the failures of it's recent business practices."
During the auto bailout and financial crisis, Ford was the only company actually able to afford to give loans to people. AMD isn't Bankrupt.
"even a moron like me knows you can't grow an OxyContin plant in your back yard"
Actually, as long as you don't harvest it, as in a strictly ornamental garden, there are some municipalities in the USA that don't care, and you can grow Papaverum somniferum. Being that Oxycontin is an synthesized chemical from an opiate derivative, yes, you could grow an 'OxyContin Plant' in your back yard. Now whether or not you could obtain said chemical remains a different story.
Ahead in manufacturing tech, maybe. Architecture? Who made x64? Who has one of the lowest power draw/highest performance CPU/GPU combo for mobile systems that would shit all over tons of current in-service desktop systems, with an even better revision coming soon?
When it comes down to it, none of the hardware companies are really that impressive. The hardware right now is enough to do WAY BETTER performance-wise, the problem is that programs are becoming so bloated and unoptimized.
It's coming down to where even programs you pay for are wasting resources by beaming ads to you.
Why the fuck should a GPU company get the rights to a CPU architectural extension?
besides, I bet they're already working with Intel's stuff - it would explain why the Fermi burned like a bitch first-gen, they must've tried implementing netburst.
Ahem, your implication crossed another line of stupid - do you forget most drugs are derived straight from plant tissues?
Might as well start forcing a license on EVERYTHING grown.
Want me to go further?
We may agree on whether or not it should be a controlled substance, but your prior statement fails to take into account that everything is a chemical or collection of chemicals. What you propose would require everyone to grow a license if they wanted to even LOOK at it if it had a controlled chemical in it.
Exactly. Despite my needing it for pain management and thus I don't really get high off of it, suddenly I got hired as a research director and consultant, and for some unknown reason I'm doing it GLOBALLY, counseling countries and managing their food production and doing it more efficiently.
If there was a negative cognitive effect, it's only short-term and goes away with exposure.
"Eh, at least it keeps you from any job more technically challenging than filling a fry bag...or emptying a Doritos bag."
I'm a research director and consultant for several large horticultural firms across the globe. Despite your joking intention, it's not being well-received over here.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe it was the Pro mode in Rock band i was thinking of.
Either way, one of them does teach how to play songs (or was that the Disney one?)
we'll be paying that much in a couple of years anyways, just wait.

"Intel ATOM and Nvidia ION?"
Not even close. Have you even seen the latest AMD Fusion? It shits all over Intel+ION.

Why wait when you can just purchase Power Gig, which will teach you how to play the songs, and comes with a real guitar?
As a guitarist, that is the closest to being the 'real thing.'
The ones of us that were day-dreaming created the shit the kids are now using to pretend.
"I don't know why guitar players are so defensive about Rock Band."
Because Power Gig actually teaches you how to play the damned song.
Pssh, you haven't played a real guitar until you've tuned and rocked a Lowebow.
Good thing my animated image captcha is still unbroken!
Random clips from animes makes for an excellent security question.

Welcome to the future.
x86-64 is a CPU architecture.
Why the fuck should a GPU company get the rights to a CPU architectural extension?

That's absolute nonsense.

Everyone that modded this informative is a fool.

Constant smoking of ANYTHING, cannabis, nicotine, opium, etc, will eventually trigger emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia
Sorry, Pal, Australia's research doesn't count for shit.
The bias in more than half of Australia's 'studies' is too apparent to even allow the slightest bit of credibility.
We have medical marijuana delivery services.
I just had an ounce of GDP dropped off at my place. I signed the transfer papers and etc, and that was that.
Security is pointless.
I can list two or three co-ops with armed guards that get robbed almost weekly.
"Primarily for the reason that nothing else can really come close for pain management."
I see my published story about sea slug toxins having better than opiate medical effects has gone in one ear of slashdot and out the other.
"Are you suggesting that all of these drugs be made legally available to anyone that wants them without even as much as a license?"
Portugal did EXACTLY that.
Nothing bad has happened so far.
Your concerns are unwarranted and very much like that of a soccer mom.
"They absolutely should if it's prescription medicine."
I wonder how many levels of stupid you just crossed in making that statement.
the difference between OTC ibuprofen and prescription ibuprofen is 600mg per pill.
IOW I can get prescription strength without a prescription.
"If a bunch of pot smokers want to turn their brains to Jello and wreck their lungs, throats and mouths, let them."
Well, you just removed all doubts I had regarding your ignorance.
Even our former President has said more intelligent things.
Then they should have just released all of that stuff's source that was feasible and moved on with what they were doing.
