I don't think this has happened at all, unless you possibly count 1987-1989 era Whitesnake as a 'supergroup.' I don't like the term myself, and just see these groups as a bunch of seasoned dudes getting together to have some fun, and maybe make a ton of money in the process, hopefully melding their talents relatively equally. Chickenfoot does a pretty good job. Picking apart lyrics by Sammy is like shooting fish in a bucket. The thing is, rock musicians can't really win when it comes to lyrics: they're either labelled by critics as 'dumb' or 'pretentious' (especially if they're by Neal Peart and Co.)

Yeah I know! Some of those cars look awesome!!

I love making these.

Who in their right mind would buy Pontiac? You'd have to snort a hundred kilo's of cocaine to think it's a good business decision.

We are so awesome at TF2 that we will make your face melt.

It's awesome. Reviewers are commenting about how great it is to hear Mike Anthony's backing vocals, and really awesome bass. I concur.

How would this even be enforceable anyways? If Mass. got their way, any reasonable New Hampshire business would just have a 'don't ask' policy when it comes to customers' whereabouts.

They're not even a real country anyway.

One thing to make sure is that the connection being used by both TV's is the same. It's been more than a couple instances where I've looked at two TV's, and where one is connected by a legacy cable, and one down the way uses something like HDMI/DVI. You may also want to see if you can play with the LCD TV's contrast, colour modes, etc. Fiddling with the picture quality can do wonders. LCD's are very reliable, and proven too, so that could mean for fewer headaches down the road. My IBM LCD monitor is from 1997, and hasn't had any problems yet, despite being used for a good 11/12 years, and the TV's today are much more advanced than that. Like any technology, LED is likely to have a couple glitches in the first couple years.

Hey cool, they got a LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!! mode.

I'm not too sure, really. If anything, a lot of this generation are more likely to follow trends. Look at the success of the iPod: the player itself is nothing special when compared to the competition, but because it's stylish, and is regarded as something of a symbol, young people buy it, often without comparing to other brands. GM is like the Zune, in a lot of cases: it's just as capable, if not, way more, is often cheaper, offers more for less, has a few extra little goodies, and has decent enough looks. But the thing is, well, it doesn't have that 'je ne sais quoi,' like the iPod. The iPod is fashionable, the Zune is more workmanlike. The Domestics are viewed as something for poorer people, or those who are blue-collared. Definitely not true, but that's what I get from talking to people, who are looking to buy cars, or ask about mine. Just this morning in my economics class, we were discussing the GM situation, and most students in the class believed that GM still builds only gas guzzlers, and that the cars fall apart. The age group in this class is 18-23'ish, and predominantly middle-class, 'west-coast' types, the very people GM needs to target. Priorities have changed too, I think; now it's all about gizmo's and gadgets. Family friends of mine bought their daughter an Aveo; the daughter didn't care when I said it was a piece of crap, and that the economy was subpar compared to a Cobalt, or Fit - instead, she loved it because it had a six speaker sound system, and she could wire her iPod (which she also bought, despite my saying other units were better ) into it. I think GM missed the boat in that respect, especially when they took their time putting Bluetooth into their vehicles, and not trying to at least ape the funkiness of Scion in a couple ways. Another thing is that many first car purchases amongst people my age, are used vehicles. Of course, brands like Toyota and Honda have a higher perceived quality. A kid who wants a car will want something that's going to last, and mom's old Toyota Camry, while boring as hell, will get them to A & B, with little trouble. Also, younger people are less able to deal with high gas prices, so a used import is also desirable, because once again, Honda and Toyota are said to get better fuel mileage. While that's not always true, it's what is believed. The impression I get is: When we want something, we want it now, and doing research is for school. Even then, Wikipedia is all anyone my age is going to look at.

Plenty of people my age like ol' Detroit iron. The problem is that only until recently, GM's offerings that were likely targeted to people my age were spectacularly craptacular, *cough* G6 GXP *cough*

Funny that this is written by someone in the UK. I'll bet the death of their car companies was totally great for their country, right?... right?

Since everything about this guy, and his bull$h! has been said already, I'm just gonna put this is. Man, this is the second Matt & Trey thing I've posted today...

LMFAO!!

DEMS PENGUINS ARE GOIN' T'HELL, I TELL YOU WHAT! This is funny, because that 'March of the Penguins' movie was hailed by Christian Conservatives, and their ilk as a testament to monogamy, and family values. I wonder what they'll say, now that gay male penguins show such great devotion to their chicks.

Left 4 Dead 2 has me interested.

I'm sure some people would argue with that statement. And yeah, I guess they get a recognizable name with some brand equity, but nowadays, driving a HUMMER is more or less means you're a dicktree. And the vehicles aren't remarkable, at all.

A very popular competitor is GIMP, which is open source (aka: Free), and also has a wealth of volunteer created plugins, and content. http://www.gimp.org/ Paint.NET is also a very good program, if a bit less robust, but it's what I've used, and it's pretty intuitive.
