  1. Re:More reliable drives? on Seagate Ups Drive Warranties To 5 Years · · Score: 1
    You'd be suprised to know that Hyuadai as a whole company(Hyunday+Kia)scores higher then BMW as a whole company(BMW+Mini) in JDpower's initial quality study for 2004. In fact, Hyundai is placed third behind Toyota/Honda in the whole industry

    Usually the car scores higher in the IQS(initial quality study), preforms better in long-trem depebility study as well.

    So yes, those Korean cars are most likely ganna out last those German engineered ones.

    The PDA company then sells the cradle, protectors and case at far above their "value", knowing that a large percentage of customers will just grab them when they buy the PDA. Since when did you see a Palm branded screen protector, or HP branded cases for sale at your local Staples? Those add-on items usually are made by 3rd party suppliers.

  13. Re:Core Starbucks Customer?? on Starbucks - Your Next Music Superstore? · · Score: 1
    As an NPR listener myself, I tune in precisely because it doesn't have any music, and I don't usually buy music. Why does Starbuck's think that they can sell me some?

    Believe me, if they can sell you latte at $7.25 a pop, they can sell you musics that you don't listen.

  25. Re:SACD = AMAZING!!! on New Audio Disc Formats and Copyrights · · Score: 0

    wrong! dynamic range compression are not done on the CD side when they play on radio. your cds are still recorded with no dynamic range compression. todays cd actually sounds a lot better then the 15 year old ones, especially with some with the over-sampling rate digital transfer, like JVC's XRCD and some other 20/24 bits transfers.
