  1. Not true, I use it in the car but bypass it in the house. Besides, you can't stick a media server in your shirt pocket. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  2. No, it bypasses the processor in the Ipod and sends a true digital signal to the processor in a A/V receiver or a stand alone digital/analog converter(that's how I use it). I bought it because it is the only portable source of bit-perfect music for my home system that can also be plugged into my car or any other system for that matter. It does video too, bit I'm using it strictly for audio in a fairly high-end system. For me, it was a pretty good mix of uncompromising sound quality, convenience, and affordability. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  3. Or you could go in the other direction and get a Wadia Ipod transport. The sound from this thing is amazing. I ripped all my cd's into Apple lossless format, put them in a 160GB Ipod, and play it through this thing. It's the only way to get true cd quality music from an Ipod. http://wadia.com/products/transports/170i/ _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  4. If you are there an a Sunday, head to Ginny's Little Longhorn saloon for some Chicken Shit Bingo. Not to be missed! http://austin.citysearch.com/profile/10236479/austin_tx/ginny_s_little_longhorn_saloon.html _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Another suit

    Your analogy is invalid because it is based on the too often repeated fallacy that driving a car is anywhere near as dangerous as skydiving. The waiver is designed to protect the skydiving industry as much as it is designed to protect the business owner. If the DZO's do not have enforceable waivers, the same thing will happen to the skydiving industry as happened to the General Aviation industry in the 1980's (until congress intervened). The single engine, piston aircraft manufacturers simply ceased doing business because of law suits, and that's what will happen to all but the smallest DZ's if the waivers are not enforceable, irregardless of who is at fault. I feel for the survivors in these cases, but skydiving is dangerous...period. You pays your money and you takes your chances. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  8. I had similar needs in addition to needing a sheet fed scanner, so I bought a Scansnap s510($400) which comes with the full version of Adobe Acrobat 8(usually about $275). That little bugger will scan a pile of documents in seconds and the addition of having the full version of Acrobat is a real bonus. Then I use Maxemail.com for internet based faxing. It's very cheap and you get your own dedicated fax number where you can receive faxed and they show up in your email account as a .pdf attachment. You can fax both .doc and .pdf documents from your account. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  9. It's .08 in GA and TN, but it changes to .05 if you are involved in an accident. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  10. Sure they do, Catholics have been doing it for decades. I choose to take Obama at his word on this. I have a very good friend who sometimes says racist things that are reflective of his backround and upbringing, but his actions are never indicative of actually being a racist. He's a good man. Even while I tell him his comments are unjust and unfair, I would never disown him, ever. He is my friend even if he says stupid shit. I figure it's like that with Obama and the stupid preacher. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  11. I think, generally, schools would get a better return on their dollar if they used it to cut class sizes in half instead of doubling teacher's pay. I'm not a teacher but I have plenty of friends who are and their common complaint is not about the money, it's about the sizes of their classes. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  12. I'm almost speechless that taxpayers think it's ok for them to be nosing around in a private league like that. If the NFL/MLB can't police it's own, then the people in charge should get the boot and they should hire folks that can do the job. The government has no business doing it. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  13. Me too. Get back to work BITCHES!! _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  14. When I turned on the TV mid-morning, ALL of the major news channels were broadcasting the Clemens testimony. WTF!?...it pissed me off. IMO, sticking it's nose in the business of MLB is NOT a legitimate function of government. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  15. Suspension with pay is the standard precursor to getting shitcanned. In my view, the kid can legitimately file an assault charge. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  16. The most important things college did for me is to teach me to be analytical and sceptical, and it also opened some employment doors that otherwise would have been closed. It has become increasingly clear that good jobs for untrained workers are becoming a thing of the past. Get training in something. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  17. And this from Vanity Fair: Seeing the name Hillary in a headline last week—a headline about a life that had involved real achievement—I felt a mouse stirring in the attic of my memory. Eventually, I was able to recall how the two Hillarys had once been mentionable in the same breath. On a first-lady goodwill tour of Asia in April 1995—the kind of banal trip that she now claims as part of her foreign-policy "experience"—Mrs. Clinton had been in Nepal and been briefly introduced to the late Sir Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Mount Everest. Ever ready to milk the moment, she announced that her mother had actually named her for this famous and intrepid explorer. The claim "worked" well enough to be repeated at other stops and even showed up in Bill Clinton's memoirs almost a decade later, as one more instance of the gutsy tradition that undergirds the junior senator from New York. Sen. Clinton was born in 1947, and Sir Edmund Hillary and his partner Tenzing Norgay did not ascend Mount Everest until 1953, so the story was self-evidently untrue and eventually yielded to fact-checking.... _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  18. Actually, she does have the right to say something. It may not work, but she has the right. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

  21. Fate has dealt you some shitty cards dude, and you are obviously in a bad place. So drive on. There are better places and to get there all you have to do is keep moving.

  22. No, and neither are they heroes, thugs, or soldiers. They are simply well paid bodyguards protecting US diplomats (and others) for a fat paycheck. They risk their lives providing a valuable service, and they frequently get ambushed like they did on Sunday. No heroics, they simply chose to fight instead of die. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  23. I've been to both places a few times and they are both great. I've stayed here http://www.johnrutledgehouseinn.com with my ex-wife and it was the definition of what a B&B should be. The main suite has the biggest pocket doors I have ever seen. Have fun! _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
  24. Legally, there is no distinction. I don't care if there is a huge sign by the door and a super cub towing a banner stating the policy. I might still miss it or choose to ignore it. The second I pay for the merchandise, it becomes my personal property. The store has no right or authority to verify the receipt by forcibly looking in my bag or my pockets (same difference). They can ask or demand all they want, but the second they try and detain me they have made a big mistake. All they can do is tell me not to come back and charge me with tresspassing if I do. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
