    Inglourious Basterds

    Quote: Originally Posted by chadbang This was supposed to be his "Dirty Dozen" "The Great Escape" war film, but I really had no idea who any of the Basterds were. He set them up without any real personalities, (except Pitt) and their story is never developed. Think of all the characters...

    my parents offered to buy me a new car if I dropped out of school and went to work

    Everyone interested in this thread should go to this link: Congress' H-1b program is displacing daughter of Programmers Guild president out of the job market It provides some pretty shocking proof of the reason that college degrees (in the case of this specific article, computer programming)...

    Quote: Originally Posted by SemiAudiophile My favorite Tarantino movie so far...I liked it a whole lot better than Kill Bill, which was way overrated. I guess I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, as Kill Bill is my third favorite movie of all time and, IMO, Tarantino's...

    my parents offered to buy me a new car if I dropped out of school and went to work

    I'll play devil's advocate here... A. A college degree is worth much, much less than it was even a decade ago. Given that no one on either side of the political fence in this country (I'm also playing devil's advocate in this case; there's only one party IMO... the corporate party) is...

    THE HOW: electrostatic vs balanced rig

    Quote: Originally Posted by Icarium I believe 4 out of 10 that are available are sold (And possibly even delivered) at the introductory price of $5500USD if the MOT thread is current. In that case, there may have been some people who pulled out because of the economy (or other...

    THE HOW: electrostatic vs balanced rig

    Quote: Originally Posted by Icarium Well your experiences aside, the design goal of the KGSS was not to make electrostatics sound like dynamics. If I'm not mistaken, there's a webpage with KG's circuits that says the goal was to "drive" the Omegas. From my point of view, it seems...

    Quote: Originally Posted by vcoheda i prefer my 800/B52 over my O2/KGSS. i am actually thinking of selling my stats to focus on my dynamics. You've got to try them with a better amp. The difference between my A-10 and my KGSS is huge. The KGSS is a decent amp, but that's it. In...

    THE HOW: electrostatic vs balanced rig

    To me, it's all about clarity (low level details and such). If I want thumping bass, I have my car. Stats rule!

    A-10 Thunderbolt ll, Fully Balanced Electrostatic Amp/Pre-Amp

    Serial number 2 is now in my house. I need to get some more listening time before I give it an official review (I'll post one next weekend, and from what I can hear so far, it's going to be a pretty long review, with a lot of good stuff to say), but there are a couple of things that I can say...

    Recommendations for Restaurants in Bay Area

    I've been to some, but I think I was stoned for 99% of the time I lived in SF, so I can't remember the names. I know there was a Chinese place that had pictures of half of the recent presidents on their walls, and it was WAY expensive, but I can't remember the name or even what section of town...

    Question for all of the people out there singing "He's paid his time, let him get on with his life." What is your position on pedophiles who have served their time? Are you cool with them moving in next door to you and your children?
