  1. The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella. But chiefly on the just, Because the unjust steals the just's umbrella. I agree with you in principle, but in practice a total collapse and subsequent depression will probably -- as ever -- most affect the people who had the least to do with this boondoggle.
  2. Not to mention that LIBOR is now almost 7%! Can't borrow much shorter than overnight. Actually, scratch that, can't borrow -- period.
  3. Little Britain USA More hit than miss.
  4. Oh my God. It is the end!
  5. Did you know most farmers also have to take out loans to get the harvest in? The Biggest Loser: National Edition.
  6. Nate, I have friends in consumer finance and used to follow the industry in my previous job. And you're right, it's a cesspool. Of interest, the big issuers are thinking of swinging the pendulum all the way back now that the party's over. We'll likely soon see them starting to unilaterally close the accounts of customers under a certain credit score threshold in the name of cleaning up their loan portfolios. This will be a very nasty surprise for lots of people who have been living on credit, or counting on it as their cushion to get through the coming tough period, and an absolute kick in the nuts for consumer spending and the broader economy. So if you think CC companies are unpopular now, just wait a while!
  7. Is this not often simply abbreviated to "The American Dream"?
  8. Hey, that's a primo six-channel architecture, that is! Those pennies have two sides, remember?
  9. Ewww.
  10. I like the "vulgar classnessness", and like to imagine I add to it. Would you be so kind as to go and take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut, if that's not too much trouble?
  11. Thank you very much for this link! I was looking for something to manage lower bit rate transfers from my library to my wife's Nano and that's perfect.
  12. It appears to be doing everything but telling the time.
  13. Show us your tits first!
  14. Right now I use the HD600s pretty much all the time in preference to the HD650s. I'm going to hold on to both until I get the GS-1 and see how they each like that. This probably opens me up for an ass-kicking, but I also feel the Enigma Apex cable makes a big difference with the 600s, particularly in terms of bass reproduction. Sort of takes them in the direction of the 650s, while retaining the greater urgency/immediacy the 600s have stock. Forgive my inadequate powers of description, please.
  15. I'm not sure a Frank suit would be a huge hit at the next fur con.
  16. Nothing a couple fans couldn't take care of, Yiffyboy. Now, who likes big wieners?
  17. OK, this is actually a pretty neat idea. Combo iPod/iPhone dock, card reader and USB hub.
  18. I wouldn't take that to the bank yet, Pa. Even if you can find one that's still open.
  19. That page kept serving me banner ads for a survey that would reveal if I was secretly gay. That happened to everybody else too, right? Right?
  20. If this is solely for music, do you really need a 12" sub? There are more compact options that would give you loads of extension for anything short of pipe organ extravaganzas. Otherwise, if the cylinder form factor works best for you then go for it. I remember seeing some measurements a while back of the SVS box subs and equivalent cylinders and there was really no significant difference in response.
  21. Never would have guessed it from the title, huh?
  22. I'll settle for a single FW 3200 port. Yahooooooooo!
  23. This is really something.
  24. No biggie. He can just move into one of the speakers.
