    Food Like this ? Garden Salad #1. Imagine you're hungover. Deeply hungover. Someone presents you with this - and shakes the plate so it wiggles. Frankly, it already looks like someone heaved into a mold and stuck the result in the fridge. But that's Gel-Cookery! From The Gallery of Regrettable Food

    A 50's Suburban Housewife?
  3. I could bring along the Transporter, jp11801 can explain what he prefers, and why (with examples ) and we can all have jolly good comparison. Think of some reference material - so its not the mastering that is the issue. Who do we know with, say, a Balanced B22, so we aren't amp limited in the comparison Should be fun regardless.

    I take it you didn't see the South Park episode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Queer-o "real guitars are for old people".

  7. I see this site as complimentary to the "other place" Both have something to offer. Apologies for lowering the signal to noise ratio, if any are needed.

  13. Yeah, just firing up a preconfigured image in vmware player takes all the fun out of it
  14. This is one of the the design/engineering trade-offs/wins for a current (gas) hybrid depending on your driving regime. If it is lots of urban stop-start driving, then storing energy from regenerative braking as you stop, killing the engine so it doesn't idle, and starting on stored energy before restarting the engine makes sense, and is a win vs just having a (gas) engine. If your driving is mostly cruising on the highway then adding all the extra mass, complexity and cost vs a simple diesel could be considered a fail One of the biggest wins is providing feedback to the driver as to their instantaneous/cumulative fuel consumption (e.g MPG in big digits, right in their face). Curiously some people then modify their driving style to minimize consumption/maximize m.p.g when presented with such information - e.g. the hyper-milers. Maybe presenting this as cost per mile, or cost consumed would provide an even bigger incentive. Or there is the "Dodge" way - why invest in economy oriented R+D when you can buy customer loyalty with a "$2.99 Gas Guarantee". Just don't try thinking about the depreciation on residual value when it comes to an end. Ouch.
  15. Here's a real world test between a Prius + and a current (Euro spec) BMW diesel. http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/used_car_reviews/article3552994.ece or what's the ROI on going hybrid. http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/autos/0711/gallery.hybrids_that_pay/index.html
  16. 65. Direct access to some nice trails. The change in elevation to get to retail etc is "challenging". The closest POI? M & G Burgers 0.16 Mi The Important stuff? Peet's? Coffee & Tea 1.06 Mi or "we serve Peet's blends ..." Woodlands Market 0.52 Mi The expand all option is good for ideas if you just fancy a walk an want somewhere to go.
  17. Solder outside in a well ventilated area? I intend to do all my work on the deck. Same reason the BBQ is out there, not inside.
  18. You could always try making one yourself http://www.grouprecipes.com/40893/lobster-reuben.html
  19. Can Jam was a blast, and thanks to some prior research on chowhound we ate well without breaking the bank. As for the lobster reuben, be careful what you wish for ... You can order one from the source ... http://store.keysfisheries.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=9 and they ship by FedEx Priority Overnight ... http://keysfisheries.com/shipping.html And then finish off with a (Key Lime) pie on a stick! http://www.blondgiraffe.com/piepop.htm
  20. It was great to meet all the best head cases at CJ08, but you missed out the post CJ08 food. e.g. Great Fish by the water Lobster Reuben! Best Burger in the World?
  21. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=37.986492,-122.584586&spn=0.000985,0.001824&z=19 I think you can just make out Al asking for a "what not"
