  1. I just don't see where the value to anyone is in calling a room at another festival canjam. Take that however you want to take it
  2. That's great if what you want canjam to become is a small part of a big trade show. It's not so great if you want canjam to be the place where headphone enthusiasts gather and gab. I'm glad there's a giant headphone section at RMAF. As someone who actively supports the community building aspects of the meets, tho, I'm not as happy about the canjam at RMAF monicker. Things like this could potentially kill canjam as a big deal all together.
  3. Because canjam is the annual national event, and this is just a headphone section in another meet
  4. Yup, doesn't help anything to dilute the canjam brand.

    expired, now it knocks off $0.71.
  6. Part of the point is the added depth significantly improves the sound. But I'm sure you could go over to head-fi, and contact jmoney audio (forget his username) and hire him to do something similar but in a shallow depth.
  7. It doesn't look the same as other grado headphones, but is in no way "unfinished", and given that it's in my opinion the best sounding grado, I'm certainly not complaining.
  8. Knuble was who I thought would be the best fit for the caps, and we got him
  9. You'd obviously have to pre-drill the potato
  10. Nope, not in the eyes of the record business. Performances are advertising for the product that is the record.
  11. Happy Birthday Greg!
  12. It all depends on the songwriting credit. I think the logic is this: Music performances on the radio are advertisements for the artist, and music performances that are live are generally done for pay by the artist. The songwriter gets paid for these performances, because he/she isn't there to get paid otherwise. When recordings are sold, the artist gets paid, because people are buying THAT performance of the song. It works out pretty fairly, in practice. The unfairness in most recording contracts is that royalties aren't paid until "label production costs" are paid. Until a recording sells in the 100k units range, the artist isn't going to make a dime. The way around that is to spend less producing a record, or hold out for a better contract.
  13. Performers get paid for units sold, authors (or their rights holders) get paid for performance of their songs.
  14. 2 conference calls, then an hour trying to catch a wave to body surf. Calm day tho, so I came back in.
  15. tapastalk is somewhat annoying, so far. Slow, lacks PM interface, UI isn't keyed to the way I think. I'm going to wait for the next update at this point.
  16. Nothing, they make great supressors
  17. No, that's when you use a potato
  18. Option A: Not blowing out your eardrums while you're shooting Option B: They're fucking cool
  19. My experience is subsonic loads and a dry supressor are fairly quiet. It's not "silent" but it's not identifiably a gunshot, and it's not dangerously loud.
  20. I thought it was funny when you said it too
  21. How about this: I'll give you $50 and won't have boo shoot you for the aero
  22. Yah, xbmc is supposed to be pretty nice. A variant of that is what I run on my mac.
  23. Iphone upgrades are free too, but let's see if palm does full OS revisions for the pre for free They never have for other palm based phones.
  24. Other companies just don't give you the option of doing the OS upgrade at all.
  25. They're not making you buy a new ipod to get the new firmware, and no one's making you upgrade, so I don't see the problem.
