    STOP BIT TORRENT SOFTWARE NOW!

    Please ensure you are properly informed before you go off ranting on the Internet, otherwise you'll be branded a troll or a loony. Bit Torrent software was developed to implement a "swarm" protocol whereby segments of a file were downloaded from multiple sources concurrently, rather than a...

    this girl at my school asked me if i can teach her bass

    Make sure she sits on your amp/cab and show her a few notes that resonate really well. Crank up the volume and tell her playing bass is all about feeling the groove and vibe and she'll be all over you. (worked for me!)

    The "I'm sorry" thread. Pop in and say you're sorry, damnit

    Mini Cooper opinions

    Had an '06 Cooper S and loved it, except for the clutch which I found rather heavy after driving a heap of Audis. Like driving a go-cart and with a few mods (chip, 15% smaller supercharger pulley wheel, intake, exhaust) it was a frickin' weapon. Never tried carrying any music equipment in it...
