  2. I hate Hillary, but I don't buy that she had ill intent towards Obama in the comment. She was simply trying to argue her right to stay in the race, and pointing to past elections. People are simply reading too much into the comment. Or just putting their own spin on it. The video clip doesn't show her talking about other elections, because it is trying to take the Kennedy line out of context. The media pulls this bullshit on republicans all the time. The only thing interesting here is the media is picking on a democrat for a change.

  4. Not here. Especially not wow; if I buy a video game, I'm not going to subscribe to it too.
  5. I can't even begin to imagine navigating Headfi on dialup. My condolences.
  6. Umm.. you DO realize Jerry Garcia isnt in any of those bands, right?
  7. Damn, you're way older than I thought. I had you pegged much younger for some reason. No offense, of course.
  8. To put it another way, I believe Jude could give a fuck less what any of us pissants think. His way or the highway.
  9. I think Headfi will never become the democracy everyone wants it to be.

  11. Wow I'm surprised at the amount of Firefox Mac users. Elsewhere on the web, people seem to have a deep, deep hatred for Firefox for Mac. At least Firefox 2. Hmm. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I guess
  12. ........ ........ ....... ........ How much are they after the initial sale?
  13. Blast! I forgot about White Flint. Its like 3 feet from my office. Christ I was thinking about Columbia
  14. It runs so well on Apple iphones because of all the tech Apple put into both Safari and the iphone. The image rescaling algorithm is much better on the iphone, or in safari for the iphone, than windows internet browsers, including safari. Apple has made pretty bold claims about Safari rendering java/images/etc much faster than any other browser. This is debatable for the PC, but when run on a mac, its true, as far as I can tell. Mac users hate Firefox.
  15. Music is the one thing I never regret spending money on. Go for it.
  16. I loathe having to delete internet history for the same reason. I'm not against someone trying to make a buck - I'd do the same thing - but they have crippled the site with bogged down load times. They also replaced the old smilies, and the new ones take curiously long to load in your response window. This is the exact way how not to run a website, imo. Not that my opinion means anything, but its pretty fucking ridiculous. Another major problem is its infrastructure is too graphic-intensive. If I had never been to the site before, and came upon the homepage, I would leave immediately, its that bad. I manage websites for over a dozen non-profit societies, and I know thats small potatoes, but our webpages load up almost instantaneously- even the ones with animations. And some of them serve quite a few scientists and researchers. The more dominant societies have ad space; all run off an unobtrusive javascript window on the right side, that is, for the most part, global. There are like 10 15kb images linked to their respective companies. It takes like a nanosecond to load. Since Headfi pulls so much weight, they should just charge more money for less dedicated add space, and run 25% of what they have running now. They'd bring in the same money and have a much better website. Its stupid not to do this.
  17. Helped myself to another Amazon jazz sampling Kenny Dorham - Trompeta Toccata/Blue Spring/Kenny Dorham Quintet Freddie Hubbard - Here To Stay/Open Sesame/Born To Be Blue/ Clark Terry w/ Thelonious Monk - In Orbit Ron Carter w/ Eric Dolphy & Mal Waldron - Where? McCoy Tyner - Focal Point/Fly With The Wind/Passion Dance Dizzie Gillespie - Trumpet Summit Meets The Oscar Peterson Big Four I should have my new transport up and running by delivery time, so I dont have to rip to computer before listening
  18. I got the Boarders 40% offer in my email, and was about to go apeshit, but there was a limit of 3 selections, iirc. With gas the price it is, Im not going all the way to Boarders for anything less than 20 CDs. Good sale for normal people though
  19. Yeah, I noticed they have some truly ancient stuff on there. I'm debating picking up the Ellington stuff, but the SQ is probably a gamble. I enjoy full bandwidth when available, obviously. It looks like most, if not all of the Select series are limited, as you said. I just bought the Horace Parlan Sessions, Stanley Turrentine Qt. Sessions, and the Mosaic Select McCoy Tyner series. In the case of the Select Series, it looks like they offer remastered versions of albums that are not available on Amazon, new or used, i.e. Turrentine's Mr Natural. There are a few used copies of the U.S. and Japan versions of some of the Parlan albums, and they are going for more than the entire Parlan set, so its a no-brainer for those
  20. I just noticed, under "mosaic singles" Art Blakey's "Hard Bop" album is $15; used on Amazon for $50, and the amazon one doesn't have bonus tracks. The Mosaic, in this case, was remastered at 24 bit **there is a compilation called hard bop for Blakey on Amazon, which is different material altogether**
