    Tossing dog off balcony gets man 3 years in jail

    Me too! (In fact, I hope I never catch anyone hurting a pet, because what I would do to them would probably land me in prison!)

    Holiday Sales Frenzy: HD-DVD Players as low as $99

    Are Blu-Ray players going to be that low also? If not, it makes me suspect that HD is losing the format war and they are trying to sell their stock before they become obsolete.

    The second part of my statement again (since you missed it the first time):...or any speakers that require one.:rolleyes:

    Vizio Plasma and LCD TVs

    My understanding is that there are huge new factories in places like Malasia cranking out flatscreen TVs by the millions and then badging them. A reasonable conclusion is that the brand you buy is irrelevant. Is this true, or have I read bad information?

    Bad albums by good bands

    The post-Gabriel albums A Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering both sounded like real Genesis to me (in fact, TotT includes Dance on a Volcano and Los Endos, two of their best pieces.) It was from And then there were Three on that they took a nosedive. Abacab was rock-bottom, and they...

    I made a huge mistake. I listened to some Wilson Audio speakers...

    Why on earth would somebody buy speakers they don't like and then try to fix the problem with an equalizer?:confused: It makes vastly more sense to buy speakers you like in the first place, so that no such bandaid is needed!

    Judy Garland. Much later, she had a big hit with Get Happy.

    Where the heck did you find the post you quoted?:confused: (It refers to 2005 in the future tense!:eek:)

    It was a real crime. (And most pet owners consider their pets to be family members, with the same status as people.)

    DVD Burning Kiosks a Thing of the Past

    I wasn't aware that burning movies had any advantages beyond being able to stay home while doing it. If you are going to go to a store anyhow, why not just buy the prerecorded DVD instead?:confused:

    Bad albums by good bands

    Those guys use rap. Even a small amount of rap can completely destroy an otherwise decent album. ("One bad apple spoils the barrel.")

    Bad albums by good bands

    I thought that Lonely Heart was from Big Generator.:o I guess I didn't realize they had made more than one album of crappy mainstream techno-pop having nothing to do with the great progressive rock band called Yes.

    Only speakers, the other components don't have much effect unless equalization is intentionally used (or unless they are tube components, which color the sound noticeably.) I choose speakers that reproduce the signal as faithfully as possible (in fact, I would use my dead-neutral studio...

    :eek::eek::eek: My god, do you also like We Built this City better than Somebody to Love?

    Nazis believed in killing autistics, invalids, the insane, and anyone else they viewed as genetically inferior. That is where cold logic without compassion leads.:(

    Tossing dog off balcony gets man 3 years in jail

    Killing is sometimes necessary. As carnivores, for example, we must kill for meat. (Dogs that bite and humans that commit atrocities can also justifiably be killed to prevent them from harming others.) What I consider unacceptable is intentionally causing pain (whether to humans or animals.)...

    Tossing dog off balcony gets man 3 years in jail

    At what point did sentience become the yardstick for the value of a life, anyhow? That sounds like more human ego to me. The large human brain is merely our particular evolutionary advantage. If cheetahs were the dominant species, they would consider speed to be the criteria for superiority...

    Wow, that statement alone is sufficient to prove that you are a heartless b*****d!:(

    a link suggesting vinyl surplanting CD

    Why would I want to put extra, unneccessary circuitry in the signal path? I even bypass the tone contols to hear the signal on the CD with as few veils between it and my ears as possible. Also, it is not about hearing what I prefer, it is about hearing what the artist intended. Would you wear...

    You can't hold a conversation with someone merely because you disagree?:confused: Why? Lack of intelligence, perhaps, or maybe fear of being proven wrong? (FWIW I think an animal's life is more valuable than that of some people. Right-wingers and lawyers, for example.:D)
