I've seen Pidgeon as a surname (as in Walter Pidgeon), but I'm quite sure the proper spelling for the birds is pigeon, and the dictionary seems to agree with me.
What the hell? Sure the grandparent post was lame, but your reply was just as bad. Obviously he's just trolling. Do you seriously suppose someone would pay him to post something no one will pay attention to? Either you are dumb, or trolling yourself.
Didn't kill them, they got away. But that way I was sure they wouldn't come back. These animals are very arrogant and aggressive. I had tried to scare them off several times before, and they always came back.
I'm surprised he listed X.O, as you can buy it for about $130 per 750 mL bottle. Compare that to Hennessy's higher-end offerings of up to $1700 per 750 mL bottle. Still, it's at least a decent brand, not like the Courvoisier or Martell. I'd recommend Delamain over all of these. For the same quality you spend less. Better yet, the cognac-type brandy of Germain-Robin, hand made in California, is yet better value than all of these (too bad they don't export, so it's hard for me to get it in Canada).
If this should be controlled, so should be the Abrus precatorius vines growing around Florida. If you don't know why, I suggest you chew on one of the pretty black and red 4 mm seeds.
I got an N45 grade one from eBay, about four times as big (2"x2"x1"). I had it in my pocket as I walked past the refrigerator that day. I had to take off my pants now stuck to the fridge door, and then took two of us to slide the thing off the edge.

So, you are shown wrong. The whole point is to be obvious and to show they can get you any nasty way they please -- their goal is to scare the dissenters.
And the US has the quantity AND quality in terms of nuclear weapons.

That is simply wrong. I suggest you read "The End of MAD? The Nuclear Dimension of U.S. Primacy," International Security 30, no. 4 (Spring 2006). Basically, the conclusion of the paper is that in a full blown nuclear conflict, the US will take minimal damage and destroy all enemy launching areas in a first strike. Sounds like propaganda, but the paper backs up their conclusions very well.
CDR? I'm concerned with the D/A process, specifically in systems with S/PDIF from transport to external DAC, where any jitter in the signal reaching the DAC, including that created by reflections due to impedance mismatches along the transmission line, is translated into distortion of the analog audio. Two journal papers containing a good overview are this one and this one.
I am aware of several instances where the glass mastering of CDs produced discs with so much jitter that the artists objected to the sound quality and held release until the issue was fixed. One is here; another artist with the problem was Steely Dan (Google it). Sony Music has gone through extensive attempts to reduce such jitter issues in their glass mastering. And none of these are concerning the effect of jitter whereby a block is missed, but the one where a far smaller amount that does not create data loss causes distortion in the audio by the mechanisms noted in the two papers I linked to (not to mention tons of others, as this is a very old issue).
Your mistake in replying was that you only considered the digital parts of the chain, and completely ignored the analog portion of any D/A conversion -- you forgot you're producing an analog signal in the end -- and any jitter reaching the DAC will create analog distortion.
All HD cable channels in Canada are encrypted, and no card can decrypt them (even if in the US CableCard for the PCs are proposed, Canadian cable companies do not use CableCard).
I don't know about you, but unless I'm watching exclusively girl-on-girl porn (and even then), there are some things I absolutely do NOT need to see in all their HD glory.

Only poorly mastered recordings on CDs have bad dynamic range; the CD format has much higher dynamic range than vinyl (and still insufficient to cover the audible range in any actual 16-bit DAC implementation; thus 24-bit audio).
The equalization is a problem if you're an audiophile since you need an analog filter == capacitors in the signal path. This is a controversial issue, and in blind tests I've only heard a difference with electrolytic capacitors, but not between film and DC coupling (I used switchbox); however, some argue that in a high-quality enough equipment the small distortion of even film caps will be audible.

Uh, nice try, but you're talking about the zero being divided, whereas the discussion is about dividing by zero.

There was a raccoon family under our shed, and I used exactly this. Very effective.

Courvoisier is anything but smooth. Try a proper cognac like Delamain or Hennessy (assuming X.O or older of each brand, of course).
Only poorly mastered recordings on CDs have bad dynamic range; the CD format has much higher dynamic range than vinyl (and still insufficient to cover the audible range in any actual 16-bit DAC implementation; thus 24-bit audio).
