• Religion, which true policy befriends,
  Designed by God to serve man's noblest ends,
  Is by that old deceiver's subtle play
  Made the chief party in its own decay,
  And meets the eagle's destiny, whose breast
  Felt the same shaft which his own feathers drest.

• So, think about how you use a disc that you own of an Xbox 360 game. If I buy the disc from a store, I use that disc in my machine, I can give that disc to my son and he can play it on his 360 in his room. We both can't play at the same time, but the disc is the key to playing. I can go round to your house and give you that disc and you can play on that game as well.

• What we're doing with the digital permissions that we have for Xbox One is no different to that.

So I can give that piece of content to my son and he can play it on the same system.

• Paint pictures with sound. First, find your white-the deepest, roundest sound you can play on the guitar. Then, find your black-which is the most extreme tonal difference from white you can play. Now, just pick the note where you've got white, pick it where you've got black, and then find all those colors in between. Get those colors down, and you'll be able to express almost any emotion on the guitar.?
