  1. Nut Tree ftmfw!
  2. Have a great one Rob, and I hope you get whatever you want this year! Cheers!
  3. I think Mikey got replacement records from Feedbands so why not inquire?
  4. Get xf2s anyway!
  5. I would just tape a picture of some of your guns and knives to the paniers.
  6. I have had several different Gallo setups, including the Ref 3s, the Due in pairs and multi-channel, and now the Strada 1s for my 3.1 HT setup. I loved the Ref 3s and still think they are remarkable speakers. The Dues are not particularly inspiring and work for small desktop or back channels in multichannel/HT setups, but cannot serve as mains. Unfortunately, I haven't heard the Strada 2 but overall I wonder if the Stradas would be unsatisfying as mains for a 2-channel setup, even with a good fast subwoofer. I have not listened to music on them much, so I should probably try it out -- and you are welcome to come by and do some listening, Ric. You've seen them, but I have them wall mounted and I have a REL subwoofer in the room so you might at least be able to get a sense of how the Strada 1s handle the task.
  7. Bah! Man up or sit it out.
  8. Rangers are in control.
  9. Emelin is still a pussy.
  10. Rangers looking good tonight. Seven goals was even more fun but 2-goal lead is nice for now
  11. Thinking outside of the box (car), how about one of these kind of things that would be useful at home as well: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/audio-toolkit-creative-sound-blaster-roar-sr20 Tyll likes the Creative Soundblaster Roar quite a bit, it has an 8-hour battery life and it can be your hotel room sound system along the way. There are cheaper ones as well. Cheaper and not as good sound-wise but still with a battery option is the JBL Flip:
  12. Caprese salad followed by grilled marinated NY Strip and zucchini
  13. My other favorite team won today too! Nice first game for the Hawks. Seven wins in a row at home this playoff season. Pretty well dominant on home ice.
  14. Jowl bacon?! Too tasty to stop for a pic apparently.
  15. Glad you got out to see a stage, Greg!
  16. Second period looked like it might get ugly but turned awesome!
  17. Nice first period Rangers!
  18. Apple certainly didn't, but the plaintiffs are represented by this place: http://www.katriellaw.com/ Be warned that you may experience a seizure from the flashing lights and animations on the site.
  19. This is a biggie! Have a great 60th Chris Cheers!
  20. I don't really care what Sir Jive says when trying to look good for his biographers, but that is the party line at trial they sold to the jury.
  21. Isn't that the same team?
  22. you're quite the good luck charm, eh?
  23. Adding to the tedium, I just have to make a couple of points in response to that bogus timeline. First of all, that timeline is wrong because placing the Samsung F700 in December 2007 is a lie. The F700 was designed by Samsung in August 2006 before the iPhone was made public; Samsung got a Korean design patent for F700 that was filed in December 2006 before ANY of the iPhone patents were filed; the F700 was announced and shown at the Barcelona consumer electronics fair in February 2007, which was a month after the iPhone was announced; and it was first released in August 2007 while the iPhone was first released on June 29, 2007. The large rectangular screens that became available first with resistive touch technology and then with capacitive touch technology dictated that smartphones were going to be rectangular for the most part. Use by humans and storage in pockets dictates rounded outside corners for the most part because they are more ergonomic and approachable. I do not deny that Apple had an impact on how mobile phones looked, but there were rounded rectangle phones at Samsung and elsewhere for years prior to the iPhone. So, it is not correct to say they caused a drastic change -- function dictated the form before and since -- and the scope they claim for their patents is ludicrous. 2004 2005 2006 2007
