  1. I know I won't be. Safeco Field and craggin' instead.
  2. Type a name in Google search and then do the same in Yahoo search and compare the results.
  3. Doesn’t current search technology make any idea of net neutrality, in practical terms, a non issue.
  4. Yike, I forgot you don't have the same option I do. If you want it moved you'll have to ask one of the mods for this forum for assistance.
  5. Taj Mahal Travellers
  6. Ya but 95% of the post is Stuart.
  7. Mike - Why dont you move this to the Alpine Lakes forum so people looking for Stuart TRs will have an easier time finding it.
  8. Rumr - Do you have Monday off?
  9. What literature. Please be specific.
  10. Crackers - I am not sure what you are asking a mod to do. PP
  11. The risk is quite a bit lower than a direct attack on NK. Typically the NKs have not givent he customary warnings before their launches thus providing political cover for our "test."
  12. Well we'd learn something from the failure. Besides realisticaly the Japanese could go "nuclear" in a matter of months not years. A failure might encourage that which might also encourae a reaction from the Chinese.
  13. A couple observations: I note that the two writers (former Clintonistas who were involved with the completely failed agreements w/ Korea in the past) do not consider the threat imminent. They refer to a policy of "preemption". I have consistently argued that you are missing the essence of the debate by your refusal to note exactly what "imminent" means. The clear implication is that these two writers understand the difference and suggest that Bush was not making an "imminent threat" the issue in the run up to the current Iraq war. They go so far as to call a preemption policy “prudent.” I think their proposal is silly. Launching a cruise missile would still leave a mad man with enough plutonium to make 6-8 nuclear bombs. I would think that field testing our current anti-missile systems would be enough of a deterrent and less aggressive than a missile strike. Cheers, PP
  14. Problem is you didn't think this entire post is simply silly chatter.
  15. Get well!
  16. feint? I started this thread go read the first post....
  17. Of course if you read this ....
  18. I have this guy. I am guessing you have this. Funny thing about my version is that Layla does sound good - very different from the rest of the disc. In general I agree about remasters but on some there is a distinct difference in sound. I have taken to review the Steve Hoffman forums to see what others think not that I always agree with what is written.
  19. The defining difference is “care.” By the way I see a lot of route names in your list.
  20. Matt if you watched the refs at the US v Italy match you would know why we acted unitlaterally. BTW my TR from Safeco Field (three day grade VI) will eb issued shortly!
  21. Oh Oly I could go on all night. Good ole days? You can't handle the good ole days! Memories like the ..... The good ole days are usually right now.

    Record rant

    30 years ago I purchased Layla by Derek and The Dominoes. Great double lp record. The sound was ok; a very enjoyable record. Several years ago I purchased the same recording on CD. The CD sounded so bad that I never listened to it. Last weekend I acquired the “Mickboy remaster” and it sounds so much better than the official release despite being a needle drop remaster. Back years ago when the Beatle’s catalogue was being released on CD I purchased “Rubber Soul” and never listened to it because it sounded so bad. The LP I stole from my sister (from the 60s) still sounded better! The Mickboy remasters are traded freely amongst traders and from the perspective of the record companies and musicians they represent illegal theft of their product. My take is I purchased a cd ostensibly made by professionals yet clearly not made to professional standards that at a very real level was fraud. The mickboy remaster barley makes me whole. A quick internet survey does indicate that others agree with me that the CD Layla sounds like shit. I can’t take back the cd and say the so-called remastering was incompetent and get a refund. That a fan remastering from an lp can sound better than a “remastered” cd is a joke and another reason why record companies suck.

    Sparks

    I believe Alpinek is refering to the super pop group SPARKS!
  24. What did you say Mattp? It was freedom of the press that gave me the rope I used to hang myself!
