How do they come up with their blue book values? Averaging the costs of what the items go for in the classified section? Is their blue book accurate?

is done perfectly by this kid. so damm perfect he has to be in a family of them. No offense to Italians (me 50%) but this kid has every Italian person I seen in all my years of working in dance clubs done so perfect! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T089ytzX3LQ&eurl= warning strong language, keep the speaker down at work

Steve-O was arrested Sunday night for vandalism. a neighbor in his Los Angeles apartment complex made a citizen's arrest after Steve-O began going berserk and breaking holes in the walls of his apartment.

So the other day, on Thomas Jefferson's birthday, some policy nerds went down to the jefferson memorial with their ipods to dance and celebrate Jefferson's birthday. Quietly. What follows is an interesting bit of irony: http://freethejefferson1.com

Star Destroyer.net I've seen it mentioned here a few times, and ended up actually finding the address in a random screenshot that aerius posted. Looks like a scary forum! Problem is I think Star Wars is kind of stupid. But I think Trek kicks ass (especially tng and ds9). In short, what the hell is the story on this place? It looks like more OT discussion goes on then actual sci-fi talk.

So I really like the look of slow motion (and am thinking that with Bobby, it's going to be necessary). What's the best bang-for-the-buck camera that I want? Most of the ones that do 60fps seem to be just less than what I want to do, and 120fps seems to be enough, although I could probably be convinced one way or the other -- my research kind of sucks in this realm. Any additional thoughts would be welcome. Is it just fps that I'm worried about, or are there other parameters? I have to admit to beeing full newb on this.

So have a quick/short vacation possibly coming up and although have been nearby previously (GC, Bryce, Zion, etc.), we've not done the John Ford wet dream yet. Researching now, but anyone have any suggestions of specific buttes, mesas, petroglyphs, or other sites to visit? Even a preference between the two areas? Driving our rough & tumble Mini Countryman, so everything is on the table.

Some members are labeled as MOT. With some people, Tyll for instance, I know what he does and where to buy his products. But for others, pixel pusher for instance, I have no idea why he is labeled a MOT. His profile points to a web site but it's under construction with little info. Can we develop a list of some sort which contains descriptions of the MOT's business? Is this good/bad idea? I look at it as free passive advertising. I realize headcase doesn't have commercial sponsorships but for my part, I make an effort to conduct business with sponsors.

Have a work related question... We have a PC that streams videos from sources like Bloomberg and MSN... The issue is the videos all have varying volume levels. Are there any software or hardware options to normalize volume on the fly? We are using stereo analog audio outputs.

Many of you are not as ancient as I, and may only know this as it is tagged onto movie titles, but one of the greatest comedic influences of the last 40 years is soon to be available again: I read these while in High School, and they helped make me the sick degenerate (but funny) bastard that I am. If you want to see the fetid little pool that things like Animal House, Saturday Night Live and countless others spawned in, check it out. Or not. I will be.

Anybody here following this http://www.bloodhoundssc.com/ ? Attempt at going more than 1000mph in a car. Eurofighter jet engine, four rockets and an F1 engine to drive the fuel pumps.

I love them for what they are, my commuter iem. =T The other day after a brisk jog, the left side now has intermittent sound. I don't know where the problem originates from, so I was hoping someone here might be able to take a look at them. Well, either that or if someone is selling a pair, I'd love to take them off your hands. I called Altec Lansing last night and they told me the im716's have been discontinued for 3 years already and that since I was out of warranty for 1 month, they couldn't help me. =[ Any help would be appreciated.

Have a fantastic day!

the thread was a good laugh, but did it belong to anyone here? or on head-fi? Here is the post: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=207026 sorry, if it was anyone in here; i do hope he gets caught. maybe we could sell him a tomahawk for 300 dollars to go along with it

This just came in on the wires. I posted it on our website. couldn't help myself. How appropriate. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sfl-dip-tues120120110185802,0,5120538.photo

What does it mean?

I would love to go to this but I really have no clue how to get there and back to/from NJ without driving (especially so late at night). Anyone have any idea? They don't seem to have a website or anything, it's really aggravating. I figure the train/subway would be my best bet, but I don't really know Philly.

Jim Carroll, poet and punk, passed away Friday at the age of 60. Probably most famous for "The Basketball Diaries", I'll remember him for the "Catholic Boy" album - a sweet taste of late 70's NYC punk. "They were all my friends, and they died." NYT Obit
