  1. Economic Left/Right: -6.75

     

    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87

     

     

     

    Few I didn't understand...I just made the most of them, guessed meaning :P

     

     

     

    What's manijuria?<--it is the dried leaves from the canabis plant that are light and inhaled by people

     

     

     

    Dried 'blossom' actually. It's the buds that are smoked, not the leaves.

  2. You can, in theory set up a passive/active combo, but it's not worth the effort and takes some fiddly wiring.

     

     

     

    Basically, an active pickup gets it's extra 'hotness' from an onboard preamp which is powered by a 9v battery fitted in the circuit. Passive pickups don't need any additional power, so basically you'd have to run an active and a non-active circuit from each respective pickup. Also, active pickups use different potentiometers in the volume and tone pots, so you would need to have pots specific to each pickup.

     

     

     

    In short, it's just not really worth the effort.

  3. Dimebuckers are nice pickups and will pack the punch you want, but there's pickups out there I prefer.

     

     

     

    I reckon you'll get alot of people recommending EMGs, 80s or 61s, but I quite like to avoid those. I think passive pickups give a much more natural tone than the actives. But, if you do want to try actives, check out the new Dave Mustaine pickups from Seymour Duncan.

     

     

     

    Other pickups I would recommend would be Bareknuckle Warpigs, DiMarzio Super Distortion or the DiMarzio Air Norton.

     

     

     

    Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I play Stratocasters, so I'm not well read on Humbuckers.

     

     

     

    EDIT: Pickups are (mostly) built to standard sizes. The Dimebuckers should fit in your guitar perfectly.

  4. Ahh -- that's an interesting image. You'd have to do something special whenever that "wrrrooom" noise at the start of each chorus went off.

     

     

     

    It was definately interesting, to say the least. Singing along was just the icing on the cake.

     

     

     

    I forgot to mention the song was playing on my iPod, not the PA system.

  5. can you guys be a little bit more specific :pray:

     

    and i probably will buy the self titled album

     

     

     

    Get the self titled and Tales From Topographic Oceans.

  6. 0.008 above the legal level? Fair enough, the guy was technically 'drunk driving', but I fail to see the big deal. He's gonna get * just because he owns Coors. Go Democracy.

     

     

     

    actualy, A study proved your driving is still severly impaired even if you are not "legally" drunk, so it is still considered a big beal.

     

     

     

    I don't really think that matters. It only mattered that he was 0.008 over the legal level, not 0.088 above the 'sober' level. If you're gonna take into account the effects below the legal level, why even have the limit?

  7. Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia

     

    Muse - Knights of Cydonia

     

     

     

    Good call on Knights of Cydonia. Reading my own name reminded me that Lateralus is epic as hell.

  8.  

    The only other one I can think of is The White Album (Beatles), but that picture is grey. The White Album made me think of The Grey Album actually...

     

     

     

    beatles? aha, close...

     

    the band mixes beatles songs with the songs of another band........

     

     

     

    Beatallica - The Grey Album?

     

     

     

    Beatles - The White Album + Metallica - The Black Album.

  9. Rush - 2112

     

    Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

     

    Tool - Third Eye

     

    Tool - Wings for Marie/10,000 Days

     

    Deep Purple - Child in Time

     

     

     

    I just posted according to what I think your definition of 'epic' is. There's alot of songs that are epic to me, because of what I connect them to or how they make me feel, but they might only be 5 minutes long.

  10. Most anti-drug literature/prose/poetry is really pathetic. There's a message in there, but to me it's overpowered by the stench of cheese.

     

     

     

    Maybe because real poets get stoned?

     

    Just a random thought, don't flame me. :D

     

     

     

    It worked for Jim Morrison.

  11. communism is great, it just doesn't work with humans, we're too greedy. and have fun in china

     

     

     

    Nah the whole idea of communism is that no matter what work you do, everyone gets paid equal. All it realy does it bring forth laziness (it doesn't matter how good you do your job, just how you do it) and realy doesn't leave any room to spark creativity.

     

     

     

     

     

    Have fun in china btw :)

     

     

     

    Again, that's down to human flaw. What he's saying that in theory, communism could be a paradise, but putting humans into the equation makes it fail.

     

     

     

    Well in theory it's nice. Everyone get's treated equal, gets paid the same, ect.

     

     

     

    Thing is though is that it was designed for humans, not for something else. The fact that someone, for example, working at a fast food restaraunt would make as much as a doctor would is just absurd. And when you put into what work hours would be (you wouldn't have to go in at 4AM for fast food, but as a doctor you may.)

     

     

     

    Relax guy, I agree with you. I'm just saying I think all the dude was saying is that communism is a nice ideal.

  12. communism is great, it just doesn't work with humans, we're too greedy. and have fun in china

  13. I'll bring The Green Mile.

     

     

     

    That's the only film i've ever cried at. Admittedly i was at a pretty crappy point in my life when i watched it but the ending was so powerful i couldn't help myself. I wasn't bawling like a little girl but i had a few tears.

     

     

     

    "Don't put it on boss, I'm afraid of the dark."

     

    Oh John!!! :cry: :cry:

     

     

     

    Definately misty eyed at that bit. Same goes for Armageddon. Bruce Willis should never, ever die.
