Bose gear isn't any more crappy than high-end gear. All audiophile-approved gear is grossly overpriced.
If you disagree, you are a moran, an audiophile, and probably both.
"But somebody who would buy good gear that doesn't cost very much is a "fucking moron" in your book, I suppose."
What? I am saying good gear (as good as or better than extremely expensive gear) can be had for a moderate price. Audiophiles shit on it because it is not a certain brand and did not require a second mortgage.
When Steve Jobs returns to Apple (set for June). It'll be the last Apple dealie with Steve (assuming he lives that long) and he'll be handing the reigns to his successor.
Sorry, the education system has failed you. Perhaps you should look into improving your reading comprehension.
The argument was about overpriced crap.
Audiophiles buy that shit by the wheelbarrow, from companies that are not Bose, at margins that would make Monster blush.
Of course Bose's cheapest crap is more expensive than the cheapest crap from other brands that audiophiles praise.
How is a $1500 set of headphones any better than what Bose does? They both sell crap and make dubious claims about quality. The difference is audiophiles latch onto a brand name, get into a big circle jerk, and convince themselves that they can hear when their unidirectional cables have been run the wrong direction.
Yeah, what the fuck. I was looking at that pic for a while, wondering why the CM scale was lining up to the inch scale (which was divided metrically, and implied a 3-foot ruler was being held to measure a tiny-ass connector) at about 2 to 1, instead of 2.54 to 1.
People always say this, but are any other companies any better? The answer is no.
Audiophiles are fucking morons.
If it's expensive and the name sounds German (you know the Germans make good products, SHAMWOW!) or is otherwise hard to spell/pronounce, audiophiles will love it.
Seems to me a bag is meant to hold something. A burlap sack is a more effective laptop bag than whatever shit Slashdot is pimping now.
If you feel the need to make a fashion statement, go open your fucking MacBook in a coffee shop and leave it open to your shitty "novel", "play", or "poetry". Sip your fucking caramel iced mocha frappuccino and scratch at your neckbeard because it's July and you're still wearing that turtleneck.
This shit has no relevance to the readership of this site. Fuck this shit. Fuck Slashdot.

I'm betting ALL of the people who bought them are either:
Using them to listen to various low-quality sources
Crying because they broke
Eagerly awaiting the $20,000 model
Perhaps, all three.
Don't forget about the morans who insist on using the term "monitor" for things that aren't actually monitors, but are in fact speakers.
Yeah, what the fuck.

The term is "in-ear-monitor".
Also, never call anything a speaker, always call it a monitor.
Fucking audiophiles make me sick.

The answer is no.

Correct.
Also, mega bonus points for using the word "hokum".
Speech must be free.
You must be responsible for the consequences of your speech, but your right to free speech must never be infringed upon.
And just like yelling fire, there is nothing wrong with it, and no one should prevent you.
Doing bad things with it will get you in trouble, sure. Just like yelling fire.
Silly American.
When China is busy retaliating against the US, Europe and the Middle East will be draped in the comforting grip of the iron curtain.
Except they aren't.
The cheapo bag is made of the same materials, the same design, and in the same factory as the expensive one.
Do you buy headbands because they have the Nike swoosh?
Do you buy Monster cables?
Do you buy brand-name drugs when the generic is right next to it?

Uh, that information would seriously compromise the security of any installation.
Your average citizen would be stopped at the gate by guys with guns.
Putin would infiltrate the place and nuke China.
$220? And it's not even out yet?
What the holy fuck.

Other things happened in the 1960s, you know.
FYI - that's not a typo in the parent post:
Seizures, as in search & seizure.
It has nothing to do with drugs causing seizures and the government trying to use ACTA to hide it.
1960s?

Your ISP knows where you live.
Getting an ISP from an IP is trivial - even cops can do it.
Getting an IP from a blog post is trivial as well.
Someday?
Not until the develop precognition and get Tom Cruise on the job.
Why would anyone plotting something evil use electronic communication if they fear getting caught?
The old tricks are still the best.
Ugh? That's what actually happens.
