FIFY. It's not known at this point that it was stolen. Also pretty sure you can't prove Gizmodo knew it was stolen at the time that they bought it. Even if it's proven that the initial person stole the phone, it's a separate legal issue entirely to say in hindsight that they knowingly bought a stolen phone. And the fact that they began machinations to return it before the raid tells me that while their intentions may not have been entirely benevolent, they weren't ...er...larcenic? Felonial? Theft-oriented. I believe there's a statute of limitations involved here, but I'm not a lawyer, and neither are you.

There you go again, assuming I'm guilty before you've even heard the facts.

By giving the iPhone back, isn't this effectively what they did -- paid money, got access to it for a limited time? I doubt they asked for their $5,000 back.

Remind me never to have someone like you on my jury.

Stripmall Architecture, Feathersongs for Factory Girls -- the album I contributed to (funding) -- and I may be a bit biased, but I think it's their best.

Nope. Part of the benefit of nearfield is that the room makes much less of an impact on the sound. But as jpnumbs said, how close are you sitting, because nearfield is pretty tight. A lot of people say nearfield when they mean midfield.

Up next: vegan brains.

It is now.

QFT.

Lio is probably my favorite current newspaper comic strip. Alternate version:

kraken -- don't ask these enablers, they're all on the JH crack.

Did you tell them you were taking an outside course (from VPI)? Maybe next time you can test out. (makes a mental note to sign up for a martial arts class)

Actually, it is late April, so that could be interpreted as, "any day now".

Agreed. I wouldn't even consider wearing them.

Interesting. So it's probably in support of the new covers album, but presumably he did some of his own material. How was that? Any particular song's arrangement stand out in particular?

Dusty want.

Anneke van Giersbergen and Aqua de Annique, In Your Room -- you want catchy, it doesn't get much more than this.

Shiny, shiny head. Peter Gabriel is awesome live, I see him every chance I get.

Yes, it's called abstinence.
