Lemme' guess VB6 right?
You should be good at that by now. < sarcasm > VB6 is good for quick turn-around code. < /sarcasm >

Ummm, VB6 as VB.Net with other assorted goodies the further I dig.

Take your time and document everything that doesn't work. When asked why it isn't done start reading from the list.
I found out a long time ago that people cannot push you if you push back.
The first time I got to use this was when I told a manger that I needed 2 weeks to code 3 modules. He said do it in one week. I countered and said let's do it in 3 days since it is not going to work at the end of the week anyway. He gave me 2 weeks.
Never be afraid to give a realistic estimate and don't back down.

As long as you are not the cause of the problem sit back and enjoy the show.

Earth's terminator, to be exact, and not so much a picture as a movie:
Equinox on a Spinning Earth[^] is a short (15 second) movie taken from a year's worth of satellite images aligned so the planet looks immobile. This gives a view of how the terminator -- the boundary between night and day -- moves from one autumn equinox to the next.
And just in time for the spring equinox tomorrow! (Or today, depending on where you are on the planet.)
(Corrected information.)

Fun movie!

Should the terminator go horizontal, then termination will have been completed.

I can play Thunderstruck pretty well on my guitar and came accross some youtube tutorials of the song. Interesting, I think, might be some trick or detail I can improve on.
Are there bad tutorials out there or what, some of them can hardly hold a guitar and their version doesn't even come very close. 
What "struck" me the most is that almost ALL versions use picking (with one claiming that picking is the "real" way of doing it. Personally I think Angus uses both methods, I've seen him use picking on live shows.)
So I was curious, am I the only person on this planet playing Thunderstruck with only hammer-on's and pull-off's (for the intro)?
How do you play it?

I sympathize. When I sing, people tell me I should be on the radio -- so they can turn it off.
I have a face made for radio and a voice that's perfect for Morse code.

Yeah, but can you play it with flames[^] coming out of the guitar?
Repost, I know, but you were asking for it, and I think it's pretty cool (no pun intended) all the same...

The studio version has Angus picking the notes (you can hear the pick strikes). Live, in certain shows, he does it via pull offs because it looks a lot showier but if you watch Live at the river plate[^], you see that he's picking.

It can be done both ways, I kind of use a combination of both where I pluck the string then hammer-on / pull-off.
I would have loved to have the internet when I played years ago, it's so easy these days to look up a song and get the tabs and video lessons. We had to learn everything by ear or go buy a copy of Guitar Player. I've also worn out a few records along the way.

Best way to do it. I've reviewed a few of the tabs and videos posted online for students and generally have found them to be lacking.

YOu seen the state of some CP articles? Its the internet, full of wannabees.
BTW Thunderstruck is pretty easy to play, the problem is losing interest since it gets very repettetive after a minute.
It is plucked though the whole time, no hammers or pulls, if you listen to the atack on every note.
