  1. "Placement on automotive CPUs has measurably increased engine horsepower." Do you have to affix it with ERS tape?
  2. Were the wire and the caps on the inside, or is mere proximity enough now?
  3. I was thinking more of a "drop-shipped to an Arab Sheik" situation, but the sheik lost all of his play money on a camel race and John got stuck with the bag.
  4. Neither do snowflakes. However, you have to be pretty close to tell the difference.
  5. Yeah they look like every Lambda I've ever seen. Tough to tell which model from the picture, but it doesn't really matter. Mccoy Tyner in Stax is enough for me.
  6. I'll bite, but on HF if that's okay with you. A little "pearls before swine", I know...
  7. I remember smeggy mentioning something about how the best housing for the SFIs was basically a wooden hockey puck... seems like he wasn't too far off.
  8. I am leery about purchasing such a thing from Ho Chi Minh City.
  9. Depends. If you buy two they deliver the first as described, and the second is simply dropped from altitude and expected to find its own way.
  10. Y'all bitches got me thirsty. Celebrating my first successful case (in front of the board of county commissioners... ) I like it so far. A little easier on the palate than my Laphroaig.
  11. Finished ep.3 last night. I've got them DL'ed up to 6, so I'll let you know if it picks up. It's not traditional Dexter as of yet, but I appreciate where it's heading.

    America...

    Ooh, I don't know... taken out of context that might actually be construed as a positive thing. Hardly follows the tenor of the custom title (well, my custom title). Steve, I stand by the admirable comment. The politically beneficial thing to do in Iraq would have been to leave after the major urban campaigns while popularity was still high. The fact that we have stayed and stayed and stayed amidst falling approval ratings means we're taking responsibility for the upheaval we caused there. I think that's admirable, considering the track record of American invasions.
  13. No spoiling here. You're in for a treat, and season 3 keeps improving.
  14. Best show on TV. Every season gets better than the last. The amount of character development is really stunning.

    America...

    So, wait, are you or are you not in favor of being an international police force? You aren't in terms of Iraq, but you seem to be for Darfur and Rwanda. Do you want us to comply with the UN or not? We didn't as regards Iraq, which I doubt you look favorably upon. We did as regards Rwanda and Darfur. Are you happy about the outcome there? While oil is currently much more affordable than it has been, it was not for the majority of the war. That renders the "we invaded for the oil" argument null. We've been there before, and we didn't bother with the oil the first time except to extinguish fires. Do you have any evidence that we will have a controlling interest over oil after we eventually withdraw our current troops from Iraq? I'm not of the belief that human rights were a factor in the decision to send troops to Iraq. However, the overthrow of that regime and the subsequent efforts to foster a stable regime representative of the people are admirable things. Nonetheless, I'd prefer to spread some democracy in other ways in the future.
  16. Also, head-fi forbids double blind test discussions, so even if they had been done they're tricky to post.

    Regardless, this is mildly semantic and clearly OT. I was suggesting that your strong point of view is countered by another equally strong point of view, as is the case for almost everything. I feel the Iraq war was, in many ways, a mistake. I have difficulty feeling that way when I see the world's largest ethnic group without a nation so overjoyed by American actions.

    Is that unreasonable? People are happy that they aren't dead, tortured, or systematically abused? That seems like a valid point of view, to me.

    They're happy the 100,000 dead iraqis aren't them, certainly.

    The majority of my Iraqi Kurdish friends disagree with you. Not to be a perennial dick, here, but there are legitimate groups of well informed people who disagree with your assessment, and I see their point.

    You've seen it being written? You've physically watched someone write this? You need to choose your company more closely.
