    They need to make a +1 awesome mod for your post. What design did you use for the amp? I've been considering building one myself, and keep looking at replicating a Trainwreck, the costs of the transformers are quite prohibitive though. I have quite a few old valve amps spare, but they never seem to have enough current on the HT

    If this is the incident you're talking about, your talking points don't seem to match the reported facts... Let's just imagine Pakistani ISA agents had shot 2 people in America and imagine how that would have played out...

    Ah, a proper troll. It's been so long since I saw one I have tears in my eyes beholding the beauty of it. They're nearly extinct you know, rarely see them in the wild. I personally think this one should be entered into a breeding program, look at it's beautiful plumage!

    That's the good thing, you don't have to ask. If you did you'd be there every day asking for stupid shit. Instead you contribute your share to society (you know, the thing that made you who you are) and trust the person you selected to spend it does the right thing.

  17. Re:Why is it news on From MIT Inventor To Tea Party Leader · · Score: 1

    Couldn't be that engineers think they know everything and tend to be rather self absorbed and lacking in empathy? I love the term MSM, likes there's some great liberal conspiracy trying to co-opt you. Funny how the people who actually own and run most of the media are actually billionaire conservatives. MSM=FSM.

    Me too! Hopefully not too many people jumping ship though, otherwise we'll be getting piratebay blocked and our transfers logged as well! I do find their download speed not matching advertised, but the tech support is incredible, someone who answers quickly, actually knows what you are talking about and seems to have the power to resolve the issue is so refreshing.

    There doesn't seem to be an area component to your calculation, if you could press two hydrogen atoms together using this thing you'd be halfway to a neutron star*! Might take you a while to line them up properly though.
