Thats very cool! I want that green version of the dragon which they show in the video, the blue isnt quite as effective.

You can always Shop it. In Paint Shop Pro 9, you can open the image and do Adjust+Hue and Saturation►Colorize... (Shift+L), and choose a hue of 80 and a saturation of 80. I can do it for you if you want. I've also fixed the JPEG artifacts and done an optimization to save ink when printing.

Has anyone heard of Stick?
Heres a link to the main site, with the other video. I really want one of those, but they're quite expensive, so i'll just have to make do with watching these clips for now.

Looks like a versatile instrument, although I think an acoustic guitar sounds better. What's the note range? Can you really get 10 simultaneous notes?

I couldn't see if it has marks or not; can you visually tell where's every note, as in guitars, or you have to place your fingers intuitively as in violins?

Why can't I post on Grana? It says Paranthesis in HTML tag. I say WTF?! What are you doing thread btw.

It's a bug in Hostboard related to detection of HTML tags. Basically, you can't combine broken &lt;...&gt; with (...). This typically happens by using &lt;...&gt; (as smileys, or lesser-than/greater-than symbols) in a post that has parenthesis.

To workaround this, try one of the following:
● Use full width Unicode characters for angle brackets ＜＞ or parenthesis （） in your post.
● Use the lesser-or-equal-than/greater-or-equal-than characters ≤≥, when applicable
● Use some semigraphic characters like ◄► instead of angle brackets, when applicable
● Use brackets [] instead of parenthesis () in your post
● Don't use vertical smileys in your post

Okay, thanks, it worked, had to use [] those, and delete a few ...'s. lol, again and again, thanks.

Germany wants the EU to make nazi symbols illegal in all of the EU. Now this is retarded and deserves a gay proposal award. Reasons:

1. "Nazi symbols" are actually taken from other cultures and have other meanings. So what's if you're buddhist and take a picture of a temple exhibiting 卐 and 卍 in the fa?ade? Will buddhists be jailed?

2. What's wrong with a symbol? There has to be a way to represent everything, right? If 卐 is forbidden, then why not forbid the letters 'n', 'a', 'z', and 'i' when used altogether? Will they start calling them something like "Those who are not to be mentioned?" And most importantly, do they want to forget this page of History? I think this is far too important to forget ? it has to be studied and known to avoid repeating the same mistakes!

3. So what if you're just having fun posting nazi Waha in 4chan? I bet real nazis wouldn't quite like this.

4. What about the communist symbol and che gayvara's face? They killed millions of hunger, countless Europeans suffered because of them, yet nobody ever thinks of making them illegal. Why this unfair treatment to two equally bad regimes?

5. And BTW, this is censorship in disguise. The same drunken hippy tolerants who brag about freedom of speech are the first ones who want to install censorship when they bump onto anything that's not like themselves, because theirs is the only way to be free, of course.

It's fair enough that people would be offended by the symbol, but banning it would be impratical. We all know the history of the symbol and what it should really represent.

For the people who don't know, this whole thing sparked off when Prince Harry (of England) wore a Nazi uniform to a friend's party. Tabloids got a picture and ran with it.
