    Last time I placed an order on Logitech's website, I think it went through DigitalRiver? 2 months later, I remembered I'd placed the order and called Logitech up. Took them 3 more weeks to deliver.

  Yeah hydrogen powered cars sounds nice but you still have to generate the hydrogen which takes an incredible amount of energy splitting water. And where do you get that energy? AFAIK

    Also I think more people could stand to think about the ultimate source of "eco-friendly" alternatives because that's a talking point that goes over more heads than you'd think.

    At the moment, most hydrogen is made from hydrocarbons (oil). The issue isn't just hydrogen generation, just pumping hydrogen into a tank is far from trivial (problems with pressure, storage and of course, safety). At this point I'd say that batteries are a better and safer bet, barring an unexpected breakthrough elsewhere.

    All of that and they probably only play "In The End" and "Crawling" by Linkin Park. Anything else will just be static. Everybody knows that's all Shinji listens to.

    I'm a fan of Hybrid Theory, too. People always liked to dump on them but I thought they dialed-in on something good that stood out with this consistent sound. Not really a bad one on there.
    
    I was just sayin, that's what I imagine Shinji listens to on that cassette player. If we're strictly talking action, then yeah NIN or Slayer for sure. :P

    I liked your post a while back about value and price-to-performance in audio. The takeaway was that the best products are usually either <$400 or >$2000. I still think there are too few exciting products under $400, but I'm glad to see the Hemps and ER2XR making good impressions.

Ears validate the measurements, not the other way. Well, sometimes the measurements keep us honest.
