If you hate taxes so much because they are so evil, why not move to another country where everyone believes as you do? Ahh, thats right no such place exists.
By living in a society you agree to its terms and conditions.
And here I was thinking the Neanderthal had died out.
You only need to have a good ear and listen to a tube amp vs solid state to see why tube amps sound better. Try actually listening to, instead of talking about the differrence.
I would much rather listen to live music over any form of sterile overcompressed recordings.
A good engineer using good a quality PA should be able to get a great sound over most of a given room. Tehre is nearly always a bass boost in the middle of the sound field in ANY room, that can be overcome only by using a bessel array of LF speakers.see
I did live sound for years, and apart from rooms with bad acoustics, got a very good result.
Most of the live acts I worked for rarely if ever had bum notes, perhaps you need to go see some good bands who CAN play live, rather than ones who can't play well anywhere but the studio where they can have many attempts, in other words crap musicians.
Many years ago I was transfered to a country posting, where we stayed in the single mens quarters. They had at one stage had some unbreakeable crockery.
A previous resident visited with a friend and decided to demonstrate by dropping a whole stack of plates.
Unfortuanately, they were different plates that did break. Hllarity ensued.

Totenloke, meet an Australian, who is not as enamoured of your founding fathers as you are.
How is upholding those priciples going by the way,
Patriot act, detention without trial, Gitmo!
Evil, dont make me laugh.
Founding fathers- -1 overrated.
ask yourself:
"What would the BOFH do in my position?"
I am not quite sure but I am guessing it would involve a cattle prod, the tape safe, a roll of plastic, a shovel and a sack of lime. (-:
Or perhaps its time for a game of lights out fire alarm beancounter pinball.
You are calling someone else a tool?
Pot meet kettle.

In Australia at least if you are out of the country for more than 168 days (1/2 year), you pay no income tax at all.
Ah slashdot, where there is a grammar Nazi even for
Latin-ya gotta laugh!
IT vendors only exist so that people who are too evil to sell used cars have somewhere to work.
I believe a sock with a 3.5" hard drive in it is a bit more effective.....and it has geek cred!
I would replace her with T'Pau from Enterprise myself!
Personally, I think Shatner has become a really good actor, in the role of Denny Crane he is great!
TOS did not age well for any of the actors IMHO.

My 7 year old Sont Wega CRT still has a much better picture than any plasma/LCD I have seen.
Better blacks and smooth motion on fast pans, which is the great weakness of LCD/PLASMA.
In the past recording studios used auratone sound cubes, a very ordinary speaker, to asses how thier product would sound on everday people's systems.
It was the flnal test of a recording.
I did audio engineering for years.
I found that lisyening to very high quality pro audio systems with a live band thru them made all forms of recorded music sound really bad.
it took years after I stopped doing Sound to get back to normal-well almost!
Interesting. In Australia land tax only applies to properties other than a persons home, so rental houses and business are the only ones who pay.
Seems a fairer system.
Council rates do apply to all however and are based on valuation.
Symantec, the place where old software goes to die.
2.5" IDE drives have the same pinouts but a smaller set of pins. An adaptor can be bought to connect 2.5" to 3.5" IDE connectors.
I am a former copier tech you insensitive clod!
In the time I did so I learned many propriatary
OS, in most cases more difficult to use than any PC OS.

Not everyone wants an iphone, for a start I dont!
Sorry to burst your fanboy bubble.
The gangsters I expect.
You always pay someway.
I can take care of that on my own, thankyouverymuch.
Redundant, you're posting on Slashdot....
Hmmm, thats a thought.
