Apparently, the way that the present crop of "republicans" works is that they're fine with suppressing political speech as long as it's not theirs.

Does anyone one know if the extension of DS has saved energy? Has any agency compiled the data?

Personally, I hate the extension and it seems possible that we just use more energy (lighting) in the dark mornings our congress blessed us with

However, if it does truly save energy and consequently is one more small step to energy independence I am willing to bite the bullet and stop complaining. Well, if that argument is not fallacious.

Infinite Jest is a MUST..superb book.

Hello,

I recently just bought my first pair of good loud speakers in the B&w 683's. These are a huge step up from my previous cheap Klipsch bookshelfs. Before I purchased the system I kind of went the backwards way about it and purchased all the extra source equipment knowing that one day it would be for a great pair of speakers. Just to give you an idea I currently have for music:

Onkyo TX-SR707
Pro-Ject DebutIII
Oppo BDP-83

now this system is going to double as my television system so would also have:
Tivo Premier
Xbox360
PS3

and only $8000 in standard mode

You guys in Nevada got some major problems with voting. It's getting hilarious. Free food? Gift Cards? Ballots already marked for Reid? Technicians for voting machines are members of the Service Employees International Union? How far can this plane fly on just one engine? Straight to the scene of the crash.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that this thing is going to be a total disaster. Reid needs to be put on suicide watch by the time this is done. Right next door to Charlie Sheen.

How will the music industry business model change with high resolution downloads?

If one can pay a one time fee to download a high resolution .flac file that's equivalent to the original master onto their PC, make as many copies as they like to send to friends, or perhaps even sell on the black market, how will the music industry sustain itself?

Won't artists and recording producers simply stop making new music albums if the profit margin becomes to small to make a fair profit?

I don
