  1. Understood by you, perhaps.
  2. As my daughter (the real family grammar queen) tells me, "There shouldn't be period there (the book cover) because it's a fragment, not a sentence."
  3. I'd really like my cable company to offer an "A La Carte" pricing structure so that I could order, and pay for, the cable channels that I want instead of being forced to buy some idiotic 'package' in order to get the two or three channels within. I don't watch NatGeo, or DIscovery, or E! so why am I being forced to pay for them? I don't watch sports so paying for 600 ESPN channels ticks me off. If someone wants football 24/7 let them pay $20/month for it. A good friend of mine in Paris gets (really) high speed internet (with no data cap), 200+ channels (including a lot in HD), and a telephone land line with free calls to land lines in 30 countries (including the US). He pays less than $50 per month because the French have something called "competition" in the marketplace. He can choose among 7 different providers. Oh yeah. He also has a really nice cell phone (talk/text/data) plane that costs him $30/month.
  4. Do you think that any of the victims of Friday's attacks give a flaming f**k about whether or not Supergirl, or NCIS, run a particular episode? Tom, you don't have to vent. You can internalize your anger and frustration and just let it go. It's fiction. It's television. It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
  5. It's not just sound equipment. If you try buying a London-Paris ticket on the Eurostar website, the price is different (higher) if you say that you're in Britain than if you say you're in France. Higher still if you say you're in the US.
  6. Amazon is offering their Prime service at a $32 discount today to celebrate an Emmy win. $67 instead of the normal $99 for a year. It includes free two day shipping and some other stuff.
  7. " You show that to the youth of today, and they won't believe you..."
  8. "PayPal Unveils PayPal.Me Links for Getting Paid: Grab Your URL Before It’s Gone" http://petapixel.com/2015/09/01/paypal-unveils-paypal-me-links-for-getting-paid-grab-your-url-before-its-gone/#more-179067 Useful stuff!
  9. Not the entire professional and semi-pro sound industry then? So, in reality, you're only talking about a small percentage of the market. Thanks.
  10. At your store. (Why are they pre orders BTW? If someone has ordered one but cannot take immediate delivery it's still an order. Sort of like the mistake that airlines make when they refer to the process of letting some people on early as "pre-boarding" the aircraft.)
  11. I'd like to know where you get your stats on "who is buying it and where they are buying it from". Your "safe bet" would seem to be nothing more than a wild guess.
  12. A one-eyed underwater face mask on-a-stick?
  13. Very good stand (will not fit into a 20" bag), $45, and yes, you'd have to buy it from B&H (Impact is their house brand)... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/253069-REG/Impact_LS_96HAB_Air_Cushioned_Heavy_Duty_Light.html
  14. I've used AirBnB for both business and pleasure and it's always been great. A week in Cologne, Germany in a very nice studio apartment in a nice part of town? $48/night. A week in Budapest in a very nice one bedroom? $28/night. A week in Prague in an excellent two bedroom apartment with balcony? $46/night. My wife is going to be in Vienna for five days next month and instead of having her university pay $220/night for a boring hotel room a five minute walk from the convention center she's going to be staying in a very nice one bedroom apartment in an upscale neighborhood fifteen minutes away for $68/night. She's happy, the accountants are happy.
  15. Then there's this... "Cassette Tapes Are Almost Cool Again" http://noisey.vice.com/blog/cassette-tapes-are-almost-cool-again
  16. Then the only appropriate response to the editor is, "Blow Me!" Of course, I may be wrong on this...
  17. Why lithium batteries keep catching fire http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/01/economist-explains-19 US testing shows aircraft safety systems can't prevent lithium-ion battery fire http://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2015/05/01/us-testing-of-lithium-batteries-alarms-aviation-officials Batteries on planes pose 'increased fire risk' http://www.bbc.com/news/business-25733346
