Pizza? ;) It really doesn't matter if it's public or private money, it's always the public that pays in the end.

Opera 10.50 was released today. I like it, the default view is very minimalistic. http://www.opera.com/

...and it's possible to complement natural gas with biogas to get a reduction of the CO2 emissions...

This looks promising. Coming soon: Postage stamp sized 1TB SSD.

I almost thought so, I hope it works fine. I guess you'll have the possibility to upscale the content in the receiver too, it might be nice. :) I just saw something that so far looks like a great deal on ebay, Linn Sizmik 10.25 subwoofer. Here's a review of the sub.

I understand, I'm not against HDMI. It's just that I (maybe mis)understood it like ddrueding might upgrade the receiver to one that could convert composite and S-video to HDMI. Of course it's no problem if it comes with an otherwise great receiver, but I don't think it should be a major factor...

Another alternative is to get just two channel sound. Two good speakers should be better than five or six less good ones. I get plenty of 3D sound from my >10 year old Linn Tukans... And don't upgrade the receiver unless it's really necessary. Conversion from component to HDMI can only degrade...

Yes, it was. :oops:

My tip: Get a GMC Pacer instead of the RS4 and get this movie system instead. That's what I would do anyway. :)

"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission" No, but seriously, I agree with MaxBurn, getting vintage stuff is probably the best solution.

You can run almost all Linn speakers in single/bi-wired/bi-amped or active configurations, on the pretty new ones like the Trikan you just change to another link board around the terminals and you're set. :) My home cinema dream (within a reasonable budget) is actually the Trikan with Ninkas as...

Have you bought a center speaker yet? If not - a used Linn Trikan might be worth a look.

The Onion reveals how it's made...

Cambridge Audio and Oppo are supposed to load BDs as fast as DVDs or CDs. Personally I'm aiming for a media server for movies. I already have a DS-player for music and I'm very happy with it - both the handling and the sound quality...

Congratulations!

My son is testing the limits all the time, just like it should be. And it's the parents that need to set the limits or people will not like them. But I usually try and explain things to him in a calm manner. It usually works much better than when I scream. I've tried it two times, once when he...

No, and you can raise your children as you like as long as you're not breaking the laws of your country. I'm just a bit skeptical towards the conclusion that the spanking part was the reason for the happiness. And if it is: Is there anything we non-spanking parents can do to compensate for the...

"The vast majority of U.S. citizens are just not receiving the physical punishment they deserve"...

How young? I think my son who is almost 2 year old knows pretty much what he can and can't do at home, and we haven't beaten him once and I don't have any plans of beating him either. We'll see what kind of results he'll get. On the other hand, many corporate leaders lost one parent early, so...

Maybe it's a little bit old by now... Anyway - I made an observation this morning when I drove a Skoda Fabia 1.4 liter 16v - it used 0.9-1 liter/hour at idle according to the on board computer, that's ~ 1/4 gallon/hour? I know it's not the most common car in the USA, but I thought I should share...

Congratulations, take care of yourself and mom. =) Natural Parenting...

I don't have any experience with learning laptops. But many kids are beginning to use the Internet when they're about 4 years old. So maybe you should get him a real computer? My son is almost 20 months old and we're looking for tractors, excavators, trains and stuff on Google - mostly while...

Yes I have 8 Savvio 15K.1 in one database server, two in RAID 1 and the rest as single drives where we use two disks/database, one with the data file and one with the log file. They are pretty fast. but nothing special - I wish we had bought a few SSDs as it would have been like 2500% faster and...

Maybe the SSD-drives doesn't generate enough heat for the cat? ;)

That sounds a little bit on the high side, my first car (Opel Kadett GSI from 1985) had an 1.8 liter engine and it used 2.3 liters/hour when idling @ working temperature - at least according to the computer. And it used ~4-5 times that when the engine was cold.

I hope your current speakers are fine. But if you're still looking for an upgrade you might want to take a look at Axiom Audio or Aperion. They both make pretty inexpensive speakers that usually gets good reviews.

So the rest of the world are not doing anything? One example: Sodertalje, a small town in Sweden has received more fugitives from Iraq than USA and Canada together since the war started. If lets say, Dallas, would welcome the same amount of fugitives in relation to their population, there would...

I'm sure that some will end up in prison or whatever, remember that three terrorists are already successfully convicted (out of 800 potential ones, but still.) And the receiving countries will probably keep an eye on the other ones, so I hope they can prevent any terrorist attacks before they...

Double post...

Guantanamo Bay closes within a year... Good, but I guess we'll all have to help each other sorting out the mess GWB created. Or maybe Obama could give the prisoners some free land in Texas, next to GW's estate? That would be funny...

GetDataBack worked OK for me when I accidentally formatted the wrong drive once. :) It's available as a free demo. http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm

I think the IOC will pick the city that bribes the best. ;)

Well, if something, Apple has shown us that people want to download stuff from the internet. So I believe that Merc is absolutely right.

Well, I think most people that aren't totally deaf can hear the difference between a $20000 CD player and a $100 one.

I mean, I've listened to a Linn Sondek CD12 that used to cost $20000 around 2004 and it sounded pretty good. It actually made Linn's own $10000 Unidisk 1.1 sound like utter crap in comparison. And there's a few more steps down to the sound quality of the $200-$2000 CD players that most of us...

OK, it's really sad to waste all this carbon fiber and the fine engine on a car that doesn't handle well on the road...

CD quality is OK, but it's almost impossible to extract the full potential of the CD. You'll probably need a $5000+ CD player to even come close. The best solution today is probably to rip the CD's and get one of these. Even a Squeezebox would probably give a big improvement for most of us...

No, I didn't see it, I think we're out of synch with BBC here. The clip is a bit of a rape on Alfas, but I love the 75. I think I'd rather drive one of those than the 8C. I think part of the attraction with Alfa Romeo comes from the fact that if you make an Italian auto engineer choose between...

If the Corvette is the Arnold Schwarzenegger of cars, Alfa Romeos are like Sabrina Ferilli, it's not fair to compare them. And do I have to say that I'd choose an Alfa any day? ;)

I think you'll end up in Russia (canon.ru) if you click at "Canon North-East Oy" on the global Canon web page, Finland is also listed as "Caonon Oy" instead of "Canon Finland". Canon should have an international warranty, but ask them if you're not sure.

Congratulations. =)

I think that Morgan is still owned by the Morgan family. Caterham is also still english... And I'm sure there are a few more that I can't remember right now.

I don't know if this works, but it helped me when I had problems installing VS SP2 on 2003. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938759/en-us

My favorite whisky at the moment is Bruichladdich 15. It's really smooth and just a little bit peaty.

Ops, I posted the same news as Lunar Mist did here, sorry. Looks like a nice camera though. :)

I would also go with the Seasonic.

Perhaps they aren't that concerned with tolerances, or maybe they use slightly different materials with wrong characteristics? Some stores sells hammers that bends after 10 minutes of use, sandpaper where the sands comes loose after five strokes and so on... So I'm not that surprised if there...

This is also a little bit funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3PEfnojN5k
