Without knowing more (Obama stop giving the 'hope' speech
and give details) it feels like a great year to be a Democrat. At least three cadidates I could live with. Now if someone could just explain to me the 16 year olds love for Ron I don't know history/Don't necessarily believe in evolution/Revert power to the states makes everthing magically better/Slavery was a property issue Paul I would be happy.

Watching C-Span right now. They're discussing a motion to "recognize the importance of the Christmas tree industry to America." 36 million trees a year for Americans. Started in 1816. Donated trees to our armed forces overseas, etc. Okay, it just passed. Wonder how much more time they can waste before the end of the year? Ah wait, they just started a motion on recognizing the importance of a specific Virginian cemetery.

Since so many individuals view any idea as either Christian or anti-Christian (interesting framing), could this be a further legal maneuver toward protection of actions in the name of Christianity? Discrimination against gays, women, Muslims, etc. because "my faith tells me so"? not to mention rewriting history, but they've sacrificed historical accuracy a long time ago in the interest of converting souls. Case in point: assuming Christmas, the Christmas tree, the Yule Log, etc. began as Christian celebrations.
And such nice timing with Bush using only his seventh veto last week to prevent expansion of healthcare for children and the Senate Republicans today blocking a bill to prevent torture. As an atheist I gotta ask, where the hell did they get their version of Jesus?
Hatred - the reason for the season.

Gimp x2, though it's not the easiest to start with. Course neither is Photoshop.
If you're on OS X you have a bunch of new great apps to choose from. Three of the best are:

Man, love the look of the enclosures. Very, very nice. Much better than my lets keep staining it cherry and hope for the best even though the eighth coat looks no better than the second method. :'(
Welcome to the fold. Very nice amp.

It's been strange to watch the HD595 be called a decent HD5/6X0 alternative, to great at its price point, to "the definition of mid-fi" over the years. Part of that is the impedance and price change, but I still think they're really good all-arounds for low impedance duties too. The upper Senns smoke them of course and they are certainly grainy, but I sold off SR225s and HHF1s because they got less use than the HD595s when an amp wasn't convenient or available (eventually the only use for any of the three when better phones were around). You could say the Grados do what they do better (and I'd no doubt reach for them for specific rock artists, cello pieces, etc.), but they also do a lot more generally wrong across the board.

1.5 bottles of wine, 3 tablets treating ADD, 1 Japanese/Korean-hybrid Goth Lolita DVD which double-featured with a legendary Rolling Stones banned doc makes an interesting Ohio evening. So generally good at 5:08am.I think you made it but head-case is off by an hour for me. I should probably check my settings. How is the trip treating you? Happy turkey day!
Wishing Voltron, JP, and everyone a great turkey day.

Fuck, I thought this was a sarcastic site.
Err ... least lately day of the year I'll be shopping.

I think it's still the same day back there. HBD!

When it doubt take The Hoff test. Stare at the below image for ten repetitions, then ask yourself if you still want to post.

Is there a general preference?

Discount would be $500. So it would basically be $1500 v. $1300 for the combo.... which I already have. If I sold the SB3/DA10, probably $400-500 to "upgrade". jp11801 thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, I leave on vacation Sunday so won't be around.

Anyone have any thoughts on this battle? Have the opportunity to pick up a Transporter discounted, but curious if others have compared?

Maybe 'ho' means something even worse in Australia? Like goat-licker? Or maybe it's just Santas gasping of breath with the sun beating down on them in Summer?So, the question is, does "ho" carry the same slang meaning in Australia as in the US, or is this a case of a US company making the wrong cultural assumptions? -

Do you think just non-whores are potentially offended?

Justin I just emailed you page 19. Still trying for 2.

As others have said, use Google cache to get any info you need before it possibly disappears. This includes the entire Pico'>www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php%3Ft%3D261440+pico+head-fi&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us]Pico thread. Also it looks like the Wayback Machine may have gotten some of the site.

60% chance of rain and "lightning likely." Seems a mixed message.

Yeah, sorry to disappoint. At a substantially reduced cost, I picked them up after spending time with a couple pairs and owning other Ultrasones. While I prefer the GS1K for most situations, there isn't another closed can I prefer sub-$1K. Apologies AT fans. I agree though they can sound flat with a lot of gear. The recent San Jose meet showed that.
So maybe there aren't enough members here to have one who liked the Ed.9 enough to consider balancing. Last call?

I haven't had any major problems with the last few versions of SlimServer/SqueezeCenter running on my MacBook. Only problems have been probably typical on any platform with initial setup on network, etc. and occasional bug on tagging info here, a display issue there. Overall I suspect the experience is the same on any of the three platforms. If there are more forum visible Mac issues, I do wonder if it's the lack of long time Mac users being accustom to tinkering, more than the software itself. It's not the most intuitive app ever though.
After 19 years on the Windows side (and still using XP at work), I've been a Mac convert for a few years now. Take the jump.
I do though wonder when George Bush said something clever.
