    Do You Play An Instrument?

    I've currently been playing my new Strat...very sweet. I also have a classical guitar which I enjoy. I used to play piano, and all things percussion.....especially the marimba. I'd be a lot of fun to put something together. Sounds like a sucsession game, sort of. Some one posts a simple...

    List the taxes you despise paying , in the the order of your contempt for them.

    Personally, all most all fed taxes really upset me. What is it that the Fed Gov't is supposed to do? Defend us and make foreign deals, or atleast that is what it did prior to 1898. Back then we didn't pay income taxes. I can live with partial support of the highway system too. The States...

    Am I The Only One?

    I don't know. I didn't used to think commercials worked, but I've changed my mind. The Jimi Hendrix commercial during the superbowl pushed me over the edge and I ordered a new $1000 guitar the next day. I couldn't even wait until I got off work to buy one at a music store. The were...

    whats cheap in England?

    Xen, try the Fanta orange soda. The stuff is awesome. Much better than the stuff here (natural flavour and sugar vs. cornsyrup and artif. flavors). The tea cookies, and such (particularly clotted cream biscuits) are very good too.

    Is Warp drive possible?

    True, but the assumption is that it warps something. Besides, they talk about a warp field. I presume that it is field in which the warping action isn't occuring (hence they're not making E deck disappear). Upon the terminology they use, it seems reasonable to me. The have physicist...

    The eternal music debate

    You can get the strats, sgs, and lps with either scs or hbs. My new strat is an HSS (humbucker, single, single). Tele's can be modded to be harder than any Gibson stock guitar. Its more of a choice in bridge, body, pups fixed on the body vs. in a plastic pick guard, etc.. I do like your...

    Is Warp drive possible?

    I presume the theory (it is not mine) is related to the expanding universe theory. I presume that it would have a trivial gravitational effect here on earth (presuming Newton's Gravitational equation holds). The key to avoid messing with the gravitational field of our solar system would be to...

    Job Interview???

    Be sure that your resume has anything special. I won two jobs before the interview stage because I started college early. I also increased my stock with one of the companies from having worked in a similar job before.

    The eternal music debate

    For 50yrs guitarists and musician fans have argued which is better, Fender or Gibson. Specifically Fender's Stratocaster vs. Gibson's Les Paul. There are others, but these are generally considered to be the two finest guitar lines of all. Which do you prefer? I have a couple strats, and...

    Is Warp drive possible?

    I think you guys have missed what warp drive actually is. Rather than travelling faster than light, you changing the distance. You warp the space infront of you into a short distance and the space behind you into a great distance. No acceleration, no speeds beyond which we are currently...

    Guns N Roses New CD

    Slash was cool, but he couldn't hold a candle to Mr. Slow Hand, Jimmy, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, or Edward Van Halen. As far as I'm concerned, Slash wasn't the key ingredient in GNR. Izzy Stradlin was. Slash made the band cool. Axl made them dangerous. Izzy made it into music. Individually...

    The Americas: is geography reasserting itself?

    I actually see that as less likely than some sort of UK-US-Canada-Australia-NZ economic alliance. (with the Canadians granting independence to Quebec ;)) Some of the South American nations are a bit unstable. Same thing with some of the Caribean states. We also have a dramatic difference...

    Tea Blenders with poll

    I prefer Twinings, but I think I'll buy a box of Tetley soon, since it did well in this little poll.
