You're glorifying and condoning destruction of property, violence and cheering for more violence and senseless destruction. You're also using "mob energy" and "excitement" as justification for said senseless destruction and violence.
All because you think the city you're living in is a bit dull. What the fuck is wrong with you?
It would also be completely impossible to arrange the TT today if not for the amount of sheer history and racing heritage associated with it. If someone made a serious official proposal for a new, similar race under similar conditions today they would be laughed out of the room and possibly persecuted for extreme negligence of all safety rules and regulations.
The sheer and utter madness is why the TT is so great and the recently-released TT3D movie looks to capture it really well.
Create a special registration category for show cars and the like that hardly ever go more than say 1000 miles/year.
We have such a type of registration here, with certain rules such as low yearly mileage and exemptions from the semi-annual inspections, no emissions tests etc.. It makes life so much easier for people with show cars and classics which aren't driven much and have an extremely marginal environmental impact.
It's not about specs, it's not about reviews, it's not about which is the better speaker on paper.
It's about which speakers gives you the best sound the most of the time. There are better speakers if you sit right in the sweet spot in a perfect room, but the BL5 are miles ahead of anything else for the real world.
How many people have dedicated listening rooms, with carefully set up furniture, non-reflective walls with a comfy chair at the sweet spot? And how many people sit there in that chair listening to music for hours and hours?
Not very many compared to the people who want speakers in an ordinary living room and want them to sound really good as much of the time as possible, no matter where in the room they are or what they're doing.
They're not the best when you're in the sweet spot, but they're miles better than anything else once you aren't.
I worked at B&O a couple of years ago (that touchscreen remote? I worked on that) and during my stay there I listened to more music on more stereos that I would have imagined. B&W, obviously and Dynaudio was well-represented, being a Danish company and all that.
The BL5s consistently sounded the best to me when compared to similarly-priced speakers when playing music I'd listened to hundreds of times and knew extremely well. It was subjected to endless listening panels during development and various employees tested them in their homes for months at a time.
I found no flaws with the stereo imaging, I could close my eyes and pick out the locations of the various instruments. I get the feeling you've read the specs and come to your own conclusions. The BL5 is by no means a "pure audiophile" speaker, it uses heaps and heaps of signal processing and other trickery to do what it does. It's very much a product of a highly-skilled team of engineers making a speaker that would fit a certain designer's vision and still sound damn good and they did extremely well.
I worked at B&O for years. I have precisely two of their products in my house; a bottle cap opener and a cordless telephone.
My stereo consists of a 2x50w Pioneer stereo amp and a Pioneer CD player circa 1996 vintage. The speakers are a set of Audiovectors (I like Danish speakers) that I bought used from another employee at B&O.
And you know what? I plays all my music so well that I can't help but tap my feet and sing along. I'm an audiophile, not a gearophile.
All of those foods contain a good amount of fibers, hence mitigating the effects of fructose. It is the refined and added sugars that you need to cut from your diet.
I cut out basically all refined and added sugars from my diet a couple of years ago because I read http://nosdiet.com/. It sounded very reasonable and most crucially, very easy to live by. It's nice to see that a vital cornerstone of those guidelines (no sweets/sugars) has solid scientific support in the form of dr. Lustig's work and extremely informative lecture.
Take this guy I work out with. He's 5'10", 250lbs. He deadlifts 450lbs and squats 325lbs. His BMI? 35.9 or "Morbidly obese", which is blatant bullshit.
BMI is useless, you have to use body fat percentage, preferable measured with a DEXA scan or similar method.
Danish ISP TDC launched its music service "PLAY" three years ago. All subscribers have access to 10+ million songs on their PCs or phones, completely free of charge (subscription costs are the same as before it was launched.
It's be a huge success and widely praised, it wouldn't surprise me if they hit over 500 million downloads by the end of 2011, pretty good for a country of ~6 million.
The internal combustion engine was and for the near future still is the most economically viable, everyday practical and most lightweight means of generating motive power for cars and motorcycles.
That may change within the next 20 years or so, in fact I personally hope it changes withing the next 5 or 10, so we can use what oil we have left for things we have yet to develop alternatives for.
Electric power is close, but it's still not quite there for everyday usage. For a lot of people it's perfectly fine and the percentage will grow larger as battery tech and electric drivetrains are developed further. But for some things, motorcycles in particular, electric power is simply too heavy and too cumbersome to "refuel". For now.

Let me get this straight.

I always let the pump run at full speed until it clicks off, then wait about 10 seconds and run it at full speed until it clicks off again.
Due to the design of my car's tank etc., this means I can usually get another 1-1.5 litres in there. I haven't had a spill, yet.

Do all 7 of ride in the car 100% of the time?
Odd having a product development guru coming from the Netherlands when the company is located in Denmark.
Heck, I probably worked with him for a while :-)

While I agree that most B&O products are quite overpriced, I have yet to hear better speakers for the price of a set of BeoLab 5's.
They're ridiculously expensive, yes, but they sound absolutely amazing.
Well, apart from the mutants and psychic phenomena ;-)
You'll also want to install all the patches, the game has a mountain of bugs. I highly recommend the STALKER Complete 2009 mod as well:

Did you watch the video and read my post?

If you could cut out fructose completely, you absolutely should do it.
The next best thing is to only ingest fructose alongside fiber, which mitigates the harmful effects of the fructose.
I see no problem with calling fructose a poison.
You just want to see the nasty bug- and malware-ridden sites I've been visiting from work ;-)
This is my entire crash log dating back to when I originally installed FF on my current work laptop:
25 crashes in a span of 3 years and I use plenty of extensions. You must be doing something very wrong.
I think you'll have to do a digit check to be sure.
I dunno, diesel engines seem to work pretty well, with ~1500rpm torque peaks and 4500rpm redlines.
That's my daily driver though. For the weekends, very few things beat 12000+RPM from an eager bike engine, even if it is a 15-year old shitheap ;-)

I never checked in FF3 to be honest, but they probably added it in FF4.
Just another reason to upgrade :-)
Select all of them and use the "Delete or distrust" button.

I have one of those, it's pretty cool being a multi-trillionaire.
But I think they revalued the ZWD a little while ago, to the tune of 1 new ZWD being the equvalient of 1 trillion old ZWD
Fuck dudes instead of chicks. Seems pretty logical, doesn't it?
Slick, my good man.
Very very slick. Slick enough to have eluded everyone so far.
