sorry dude, you are dead wrong there, i tell you that as a fellow guitarist. because ussr has used tube electronics for much longer than the first world countries, the actual soviet tubes were of a much better quality and newer ones were of a much more modern design (smaller but with the same performance).
what you mean is that modern russian copies of western tubes suck, but it is a whole different story.
if you can find some genuine soviet tubes, try to design an amp with them. for example try 6n1p or 6n2p for preamp tubes. they have comparable specs to the 12ax7 but with a different cathode design, better sound, and 12 db less noise. be aware though, that the both of them need 6.3 volt for heating instead of 12.6 of 12ax7.
or try the sub-miniature tubes like the 1j17b, 1j18b and 1p24b. good sound and less microphonics because of the rigid design.
you'll have to design new circuits especially for them, though.
horse meat does taste good, low fat and kind of sweet. i think the closest analogy to horse meat is ostrich meat. i would prefer a horse steak to a beef steak every time.
just don't try the mongol horse salami. it doesn't taste very good and the meat sticks between your teeth.
windows ce started more than 10 years ago. back then mobile device cpus were MUCH weaker and even the better devices had only 32 mb ram. at that time porting of a desktop windows wasn't feasible.
and now there is a huge codebase of existing applications for windows ce/mobile. it would be very difficult to migrate to the nt core and retain the compatiblity with all those apps.
actually only a minor count of fish species fuck. most of them belong to the poeciliidae family. since they live in warm subtropical and tropical waters, most people can only drink water where fish fucked in if they drink the water of their aquariums.
the more unhappy and sad i am, the more i tend to read books, trying to escape from the reality. on particularly bad weeks i can read up to 10 standard sized 300 pages paperbacks. i use all of my spare time for reading then.
1500 hp is only 1119 kw and that power is needed because the tank is very heavy. if you add a strong enough cooler to dissipate 400kw continuously the tank couldn't move and fire at the same time, thus giving up its single most important difference to ww2 tanks.
but then again, we know how well the russians do with space stations (hint: mir was up there for 15 years, thrice the time it was designed for and the problems started only after 10 years of continuous use).
i played stalker: clear sky on xp and then on vista on the same machine. there was a 20% framerate drop, but the graphics were so much more beautiful that i decided i could live with that.
russia of the nineties was the perfect example of pure libertarianism - even the government went private.
that guy you quote, who was afraid all the time, i suppose, he was a criminal. because i have also lived under both systems and i'd rather live in the mid eighties of ussr than in the mid nineties of russia because the only thing the soviet citizens back then were afraid of were american nukes.
No gun ban has ever succeeded in keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals. They want guns, so they get them.
most of the firearms at the black markets were stolen from their proper owners. gun control laws limit access to firearms for normal people, thus limiting the size of a firearm black market (less firearms around means less firearms get stolen) and thus raising the black market firearm prices (so less criminals can afford them).
and your idiocy is even more easily countered. if the wolves and the sheep are all armed, the wolves just shoot first - no chance for survival of the sheep in that case.
about gun prices: you seem to talk out of your ass. a bulgarian makarov costs less than 100 euros and black market firearms are cheaper because mostly they are stolen goods, stolen from some wannabe self defense nuts who suddenly forget how to use a firearm in a situation.
i've got nothing against target shooting, it is a fun sport. but guns for self defense suck hard.
how is this "interesting"? parent doesn't know shit about communism. americans are so brainwashed, they believe, everybody left of their neocons is an evil commie. well, i am a communist and i can assure you, grandparent is an honest center-left social democrat.
there is no reason for fanless systems nowadays when 140mm 500rpm fans are availiable. they are pretty much silent (the ambient noise is louder) and still they manage to move enough air to cool down a modern machine.

why exactly? as far as i know, for the last 6 years they have always delivered as they have promised.
yep, march 2001
had my abitur exams, my girlfriend just dumped me, i finally gave up on os/2 and started to become a fatty i am now.
and about your partitioning problems: back then partition magic was still great.

please let me remind you where exactly the current credit crisis has started.
there are far more notepad users than vi and emacs users together.
that does not mean, that notepad is a great text editor, though.
swissonic MIDI-USB 1X1 - 20 euros at thomann.
exactly. the best example for that is russia of nineties. it was a real libertarian paradize with laissez-faire capitalism and the rest of the life.
most buisnesses were undistinguishable from thugs and the rest paid protection money.
even the law enforcement was the same.
while i don't exactly like crichton's works (except of andromeda strain), comparing him with clancy is an insult for crichton.

the top 5% of wage earners profit the most of the nation, taxes are in that case just cost of doing business.
