Bill and Jerry Part 2!

Man, after ages, something funny! Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld are in a real American family, trying to 'connect' with them! It's genius. The chinese delivery boy says 'woahhhh' when he sees Bill and Jerry, doesn't get the money, Jerry gives him a greek coin! Now this, is cool!

It is statistically proven [citation needed] that the #1 instrument played by programmers is still the guitar. With a generalization like that, where else would I ask a question about DIY guitar pick manufacturing than here on slashdot? (FIY: a guitar pick or plectrum is the little plasticky thingy guitar players occasionally hold while playing the guitar)
After yet another hour long strip search of my flat, moving furniture, removing carpets, checking every crevice, cavity and hole for one of the, undoubtedly thousands, picks this place seems so eager to swallow mysteriously. Usually within 12 hours of purchasing them. Yet again, I take scissors, a hotel door card and some duct tape and fabricate me something that looks and feels,... anything but like a pick.
If only I knew of some freely available never ending source of plectrum material out there. Would it be possible to pull of some harmonics from the edge of a pine corn? Tried it, didn't work. Started coming apart after 3.4 strums,...
Dear /. what's the best you have come up with to construct a pick in a pinch?

Funny, I have just been marked a spam site, :) lol take that as a welcome to the Blogosphere :D



. One of the best things about the Chrome software launch was Scott McCloud's clever and thorough 
 that explains Chrome technical details to journalists and bloggers. Chrome's got a ways to go to

One of the more troubling things about Google Chrome is something I found in its Terms of Service agreement (which most people click through without reading before downloading Chrome).
    "17. Advertisements 17.1 Some of the Services are supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored on the Services, queries made through the Services or other information. 17.2 The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Google on the Services are subject to change without specific notice to you. 17.3 In consideration for Google granting you access to and use of the Services, you agree that Google may place such advertising on the Services."
Google is an advertising company, and they already collect a huge amount of personal data on everyone to target ads at us. Being the browser vendor will give them that much more personal and behavioral data, which will be even more worrisome if the Chrome browser evolves into a cloud operating system.
