    It is completely different than that. It would be like showing the cover of the CD and then having a link to where you could buy it. Google print only provides a couple pages of a book, for most books this is the TOC, the cover, and the copyright page. OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH I am pirating a book by...

    Where do these people live? I am certainly glad that there aren't a lot of them in Chicago.

    You can get the same information from Amazon for any book that is in print. How is this any different?

    Well you are not referring to Google Print. Try it out first before replying: http://print.google.com/ You cannot get full text books from Google Print. What you get is a way to search the world's collection of books. Have you ever tried to find an obscure book in a university library...

    You sure do like the Indian food, don't you Buck? I went to an Indian restaurant for the first time weekend before last. Food was pretty good. This is about the second time that I have had Indian food. The first time was aboard an Air India flight to London.

    Large watches look funny on me, mostly likely because of skinny wrists.

    The Skagen watch I linked to is made of titanium, it is a pretty tough metal.

    Please not Klipsch. Horns are no good for indoor/home usage. You are not trying to create enough sound for a stadium, you are trying to fill a room with good sounding music.

    I like Skagen watches. They aren't really that much money, but I think they look kind of expensive. This is the one I have. It is very thin and light and I barely notice that I am wearing it. It also looks nice, I think.

    WiFi Antennas

    Has anyone tried any WiFi Antennas to see if they actually make a difference. I picked up this one today at Best Buy so that I can return it when it doesn't work. Well, it really doesn't do much of anything. Signal strength really isn't boosted much if at all. So does anyone have experience...

    I made an order from a possibly sketchy online store.

    It is a weird request, but I don't think it is a phishing scam. http://www.resellerratings.com/seller3407.html They probably just wrote the email that way to seem more friendly or weird. They are catering to a backpacking/hiking crowd. I would call them and ask them what the problem is.

    Car Buying Advice Needed

    My car is financed at .9% over 5 years. There is almost no point in paying it off any faster. I think I end up paying $300-400 in interest over the life of the loan.

    I have heard very good things about Onkyo over the years. Certainly better than say Sony or any of the other more popular consumer brands. Also, their Integra line is quite nice. I would definitely recommend Onkyo receivers.

    I think I might get this one to power the amplifier. 12 VDC and 2 amps. Pretty good power for a wall wort.

    Something Random

    Based on the original review that Mercutio posted it looks like it is better to have something around 13-13.5 volts and close to 2 amps. Amazon sells this. Seems kind of expensive for an AC power adapter.

    It would be nice if there were a mod so that the T-Amp could accept an optical TOSLINK cable.

    This amplifier interests me. Do you think it could power these speakers? http://www.smr-home-theatre.org/Reviews/NHT/ They are pretty large and work well with powerful amplifiers, which I cannot afford. Have you received yours yet?

    About 40% of the population of South American is using NTSC. Plus Brazil uses the PAL-M system, based on NTSC-M standard but using PAL color encoding, so that one counts for about half and half. Columbia is 44 million people. Peru is 27 million. Maybe you need to look at an encyclopedia or...
