ok ok ok guitar playing shack people:
ok like; i have like a guitar say.. and lets say I wanna be E5 and stuff. So that means its second fret on second and third string.
wtf why do you only play the first 3 strings! wtf is that! what is with power chords
then theres like B5dim and like ok!! you play only string 2 and 3 thats not a chord! what is that?
how do you actually do this am i wrong? like... i wanna rock!! \m/ and my classical training is sure not coming in handy when trying to figure out the insanity that is the supposedly-simple power chords.
like anyhow, what do i do? am i making any sense?

Interesting artice in Discover this month (July) about private enterprise
being offered 10 Million for two manned shots to 100km and back over a
span of two weeks. I'm sure you know about this, but I was wondering if
the project you're involved in is related to this contest. If so, which
project is it? I didn't see anything in the article about anyone from
Texas. :(
Yes, my project www.armadilloaerospace.com will eventually be an X-Prize
contender, but not this year or next year. I'm not very worried about any
of the other teams getting there first.

I need really uptempo techno/eletronic music. Mood doesn't matter. Happy, sad, whatever. Just needs to be really fast. Preferably lyricless, though I know the obligatory vocal sample is unavoidable.
Thank you good sirs and sirettes!

XP has just completely died on me :(
Dunno if it's some of them shitty peer to peer clients I've leeched recently (against my better judgement) but in the middle of a game I was playing - I left the room - came back - light = orange on monitor (bad bad stuff) :(
Thought it was the new video card being overclocked (but no) - or gator or some shit.
Installed VET, and Adaware - scanned thoroughly, but she won't even boot now - 100% cpu use the second last boot for no reason - thought i was being hacked by china!
Shrug
XP recovery re-install, should keep most of my old settings, I hope :(

But now I have problems with my net connection. After logging on to the net (I have cable), the connection seems to bug out after 2-3 minutes. If I try repairing the connection I get an error about "Could not renew IP address".
Any ideas what could be the problem? I have an AMD XP1900+ on a Abit AT7 mobo.
