That's a good point. The responsibility of Congress is to actually legislate, not to merely pile up binders full of bills.
Printable View
No, clearly the framers of the Consttution intended that the House would lead on revenue, not the Senate or the President. It is not the duty of the House to follow the Senate nor to rubber stamp profligate spending.
Article I of the Constitution states "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives." The House and Senate are equal partners in the legislative process—legislation cannot be enacted without the consent of both chambers. However, the Constitution grants each chamber some unique powers. The Senate ratifies treaties and approves presidential appointments while the House initiates revenue-raising bills. The House initiates impeachment cases, while the Senate decides impeachment cases
I don't have time to look for a better source, but this is how I understood the role of the Legislative Branch.
Your correct. They are equal partners. There is no obligation for one house to do something to the satisfaction of the other. That's why there are conference committees to work out differences in bills. But you have to actually pass something first in order to get to conference.
More hypocrisy? No budget from the dems again next year. That'll be four years without a budget resolution!
What was that about their obligation to legislate? Your argument rings just a bit hollow.
How can the dems pass a budget RESOLUTION when the GOP controlled house wont pass a BILL that the constitution states MUST originate from them.
They can't even get the senate to consider some of their fucked up legislation because they pass a bill for budget and add abortion legislation onto it, to insure that the president will never sign it.
The GOP is going to be left holding this bag of shit. The polls state it, and the last election indicate it. If the rethugs of the Mud party can't get their act together on this and soon, they are going to get their happy asses heaved out in two years.
The voters are just getting warmed up.
Do you really want me to list all the riders that they added in to insure the Senate would never take the bill up for consideration?
Shall we delve into abortionland, rape legislation, repeal ACA terriory et al?
The house of Reps has been building bills designed to NOT pass, and the obstruction that THIS behavior caused enraged the electorate to the point of Throwing Romney and Ryan, and a host of senators out on their happy asses. If the House had not been gerrymandered they would have lost it, as they lost the popular vote.
So this is it.
Obama won the election with orders from all of us to stop all of THIS.
He has no re elections to think of now. Meet Obama 2.0. You guys need to adapt or you are going to give the whole government to the Dems in Obama's last two years in office.
Unbridled power awaits Obama, and the GOP is still mindlessly playing his political long game.
What a bunch of chumps.
That is a tortured logic loop you have there, buddy.
The GOp is peachy for putting the shit in the bill, but the Dems are bad for not removing the shit? Have we talked about the filibuster in congress?
Do you think you can just change the bill in the senate without having it filibustered? Do you really want me to make THAT list in this thread???????
So how do you change the bill in the house and avoid the GOP filibuster? Those asshats filibuster jobs bills for returning veterans of the aghanistan war, just for fun.
of course.... We DID kick brown to the curb for it, as a strong warning to ALL OF THIS that the GOP is doing.
America is no longer buying a ticket on the GOP clown car ride. Abandoned on the side of the road.
How is the Senate supposed to pass a budget when budget bills are supposed to originate in the House? All the Senate can do is vote on what the House has passed.
By passing only bills that the Senate isn't even going to look at, the House Republicans are in violation of their oaths of office. Too bad Alfie isn't around any longer to ask:
That is the magic word say it slowly... republicans are finally willing after being rejected by America ... finally willing to compromise. Don't tell me you pay this close attention and didn't realize that the GOP was demanding their budget or the highway for the last three year so smug asshats in the GOP could claim no democratic budget passed. It is in no way genuine.
This year you will see a congress that actually works with the other side of the two party system and hammers our a spending plan.... and then passes it... either that or the rather austere version they agreed to if they continued to fight like children will go into effect.... what is that thingy we keep calling the fiscal cliff? Is it a plan on how we will spend and how much sometimes referred to as a budget?
I sincerely hope BHO is serious and takes the GOP right off the fucking cliff and then they will gladly sign a tax increase for millionaires.....
Good. He shouldn't. They should be allowed to expire in full, but the middle class can't exactly afford to have their taxes raised at this point, so the expiration of the upper tier is the only option. They also need a new (or several) top tiers for the ultra wealthy. (I would also say that individual trusts, like Romney's, need to be taxed if they're over a certain amount as well)
If they let all the Bush tax cuts expire and raised the individual exemption by $2000, it would be 15% of the deficit. That's not inconsiderable. I forget the amount, but if a surtax on incomes above $500k were added, we could get 25% of the deficit. That's far more than a "drop... into a 50 gallon barrel".
Raise the taxes that way. Make enough cuts to cut another 50% of the deficit. Then implement a growth freeze on all departments. In about five years we'll be back to surpluses -- and that will be the time for a "no new spending" bill until the debt is paid. And along the way, slowly eliminate corporate welfare and lower corporate taxes to balance it, to the point of dropping taxes on (real) small businesses to zero.
Then we'd see some prosperity.
If capital gains were treated as normal income, we would have a HUGE revenue boost.
Why not do away with all deductions and special deals -- you pay current rate taxes on your income -- no what where that income comes from -- democrats as well as republicans would never go for that.
Nonsense. Our budgetary shortfall, i.e. deficit, is a trillion a year. Eliminating the Bush tax cuts on those rich Americans you hate so much would not begin too eliminate the deficit and would just inspire Hussein to spend more. Food stamps should be limited to citizens.
ERRR Wrong. The Bush tax cuts are more than that... if income tax and capital gains tax were both made the same it would eliminate much short fall. And blaming social programs again I see? Wrong again. Social programs are a fraction what this country spends on the military, corporate subsidies and multi-trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich.
The bottom line with Obama was to \raise taxs to then be dealing with a realistic bottom line for basing how they would effect cuts.
the cool thing is that McConnell has already conceded that revenue is on the table.... Boehner has already said so as well... looks like taxes are going up and Obama is going to win the first round of the new term....
Now if they can move onto Immigration reform since republicans feel they need that to regain a party base then it is high time to figure out that mess as well.
Can't find a cite at the moment, but I recall a figure of ~40% of the deficit if the Bush tax cuts were dropped and all sources of income were treated the same.
Add a surtax on incomes of $500k or more and we could do the job half with taxes and half with spending cuts.
I'm not sure if this is what you're quite looking for:
But it's a good enough representation of how much the Bush tax cuts cost this country... republicans like to downplay and say "well social programs cost more!!!"...
Various sources have called for the expiration of these tax cuts...
I'm sure something can be worked out for the middle class, but the upper 5% shouldn't be getting such major tax breaks.

Scoop: THE FOLLOWING on FOX - Saturday, March 1, 2014
Looking for back-up and hoping to execute their plan, Ryan and Max contact the FBI. But Weston has other ideas, leading to a standoff between good and evil. Meanwhile, Joe's new relationship escalates into uncharted territory, and Luke (Sam Underwood) finds himself in a troubling situation in the "Fly Away" episode of THE FOLLOWING airing Saturday, March 1 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FOL-206) (TV-14 L, V)
Cast: Kevin Bacon as Ryan Hardy; James Purefoy as Joe Carroll; Shawn Ashmore as Agent Mike Weston; Valorie Curry as Emma Hill; Connie Nielsen as Lily Gray; Sam Underwood as Luke; Jessica Stroup as Max Hardy; Tiffany Boone as Mandy Lang
Guest Cast: Valerie Cruz as Agent Gina Mendez; Camille De Pazzis as Giselle; Bambadjan Bamba as Sami
Welcome to THE FOLLOWING, the psychological thriller from creator/executive producer Kevin Williamson ("The Vampire Diaries," "Dawson's Creek," the "Scream" franchise) and starring Golden Globe winner and Emmy Award nominee Kevin Bacon in his Primetime series debut.
When notorious serial killer JOE CARROLL (James Purefoy) escapes from death row, the FBI calls former agent RYAN HARDY (Bacon) to consult on the case. Having since withdrawn from the public eye, Hardy was responsible for Carroll's Capture in 2003, after Carroll murdered 14 female students on the Virginia college campus where he taught literature.
Hardy is a walking textbook of all-things Carroll. He knows him better than anyone; he is perhaps Carroll's only psychological and intellectual match. But the Ryan Hardy who broke the Carroll case years ago isn't the same man today. Wounded both physically and mentally by his previous pursuit of this serial killer, it's been a long time since Hardy has been in the field. This new investigation is his redemption, his call to action.
In contrast to the original investigation years ago, Hardy isn't calling the shots anymore. He works closely with an FBI team, which includes young, razor-sharp MIKE WESTON (Shawn Ashmore) and FBI Specialist DEBRA PARKER (Annie Parisse), who is brought in to lead the investigation into Carroll and his followers. Although Weston seems to idolize him, most of the team considers Hardy to be more of a liability than an asset. But Hardy proves his worth when he uncovers that Carroll was covertly communicating with a network of followers in the outside world. It quickly becomes obvious that he has more planned than just a prison escape.
The FBI's investigation leads Hardy back to CLAIRE MATTHEWS (Natalie Zea), Carroll's ex-wife and the mother of the criminal's young son, JOEY (newcomer Kyle Catlett). Close during Hardy's initial investigation, Hardy turns to Claire for insight into Carroll's next move.
The tension rises when Carroll's accomplices kidnap his intended last victim (guest star Maggie Grace) from 10 years ago. Hardy becomes ever more determined to end Carroll's game when he realizes that the psychopath intends to finish what he started.
The intense, spellbinding drama will follow Hardy and the FBI as they are challenged with the ever-growing web of murder around them, orchestrated by the devious Carroll, who dreams of writing a novel with Hardy as his protagonist. But since anyone anywhere could be a follower, how do you know who to trust?
More On: Primetime, Capture.

Downloading... I hope it's the app that I'm finding, or somehow got some of its features |(·_·)| Finn's counting on ya. Oh he is. He'll throw 5 stars
Amazing Is app for lack of better words is simply amazing along with its sister Appy geek. Broad spectrum of news filters and sources to choose from. If you're left wondering after you finish researching then technology is not for you.
Good but It's a good app but the requirement to have a Facebook account for some features is a disgusting limitation. Either be inclusive of all social networks or just use your own account system. Shows poor consideration for your users.
Tobs of info, lacks focus Its a solid app. It just seems unfocused. Lots of good information from most if not all the reputable sources. I just personally feel that the way its all categorized can be a bit chaotic. Still blows the broken IGN app away.
Ok Its gaming news.. Only problem its a bit out of date.. the info is great but about a day late .
Really really good but... I really think this is amazing..the only problem is the touch delay everytime I scroll down having my finger for under a second the window lifts up...just make the delay a bit longer and it would be the best

Sorry you are having problems with the app, we publish over a thousand news stories each day from hundreds of publications. If the problem is still persisting, please email firstname.lastname@example.com so we can look into them further. Please include your version of Android. Thank you, the AG team. Good but It's a great app but there are 2 Problems with it right now: 1) if my phone crashes (battery or otherwise) then all of the topics I added to my home screen disappears leaving only the 5 default apps, which can be really annoying. 2) though I don't have a problem with the ads that are in the app, there seems to be a glitch where the ad (which is only a few pixels high) jumps half way up.the screen, leaving what is below it blank and above it (aka the story) extremely hard to read. Fix problems, 5 stars.
Excellent app Tons of games news. Frequently updated. My only real gripe is that often times I'll see the same story 5 or more times as it grabs all of the same story from different sites. But there is definitely room for improvement. There is a photos topic but the photos provide no link to the actual story. So you have to search around trying to find the story for that cool pic you were interested in. All pictures should link to their respective story. Search should have the option 2 limit results to certain topics
Excellent work MOBILESREPUBLIC I am a huge fan of gaming and like to keep myself up to date with games. This was very difficult but now with Appy Gamer I don't even have to move my hand. Thanks MOBILESREPUBLIC for helping all of us game geeks out here.I would really appreciate it if there would be an option for viewing articles of specific dates added in the next update or whenever.
Kind of okay... It was okay at first but now important just seeing the same headlines daily rehashed by a dozen different gaming sites. Also there is no widget to see me feed on my screen. Nor is there a way for me to block publishers I don't care for. Fix all this and ill be much happier.

Sorry you are having problems with the app. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to report issues directly so we can look into them further. Please include your version of Android. Great app! A couple things don't work though. 1. you're rating of "lol" doesn't signify whether people like or hate something. It gives a false representation how people feel about any article. 2. Moderate your articles. So many different sources to the same story. Try picking the original source article unless another source adds new information. I could go on either Appy app and see 50 new articles added but see nothing new to read...

Fore-get Me Not: PlumpJack/LINK Golf Tourney
No lobsters were served at the PlumpJack/LINK Golf Classic. But after a wind-whipped day on the greens at the Lake Merced Golf & Country Club, the face of many a golfer arriving for the awards dinner at the Clubhouse bore a bright lobster red hue.
Hosted by the the PlumpJack Group in support of the Northern California Cancer Center, this group of dedicated golfers (which includes a few duffers, too) raised $175K for the NCCC's LINK Fund which provides research and education programs to breast cancer patients and their families.
Can you ski down a steeper grade than your 401(k) is vertically dropping?
With 6 new feet of snow having just landed in Tahoe, last weekend looked, in the words of one first grader, just like the landscape from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. There's more than enough new snowfall to bury a vertical first grader - and more on the way. And they'll be a blizzard of savings for 7x7 Readers.
Last weekend marked the opening ceremonies for the 28th Annual Snowfest:"The Mountain Mardi Gras," which runs through Sunday, March 8 and includes all kinds of fun snow pursuits: think snow-themed parades, races, polar bear swims and snow sculpture contests.

Towards Linaro 10.11
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction".
- Albert Einstein
A little history
Perhaps a little known fact is that well over 15 billion chips have been shipped using ARM's technologies, 1.3 billion in the last quarter of 2009 alone and as the internet goes truely mobile this is set to sky rocket. ARM have sold over 600 processor licenses to more than 200 companies and 12 of the top 20 semiconductor companies use their technologies. ARM based devices really are everywhere. In contrast, Intel have shipped just 3.3 billion to date. Renowned for their low power consumption and high performance, ARM based devices really do seem to be the holy grail of computing but why is it that Intel continues to dominates the desktop, laptop, netbook and server market?
Developing for ARM devices isn't without its problems. There are a lot of companies all working independently on producing their own products, often duplicating effort. Kernels, boot loaders, and to a lesser extent middleware are being worked on in isolation with little in the way of standards and a common direction. This is scary for those who are used to working in the Intel world where one kernel and one boot loader will pretty much work on all compatible devices. To really push ARM devices into the standard spaces Intel currently enjoy's, something needs to be done.
Ubuntu's Linux on ARM initative
Canonical, creators of the renowned Ubuntu distribution, and ARM saw the need to rally around an effort to produce a modern, full-featured Linux distribution tailored for ARM devices. Together, starting in 2008, Canonical and ARM took on the task of bring Ubuntu to ARM platforms. Release 9.04, codenamed "Jaunty Jackalope" was the first Ubuntu release supporting Freescales iMX51 and Marvell's Dove platforms. This distribution was further refined in the 9.10 Karmic Koala release and 10.04, Lucid Lynx even added support for a third ARM platform, TI's Beagle Board. With a completely redesigned user interface, a web based office solution and many more improvements, Lucid is a magnificent release; however there is still a need for a more consolidated effort. This is where Linaro fits into the story.
What is Linaro?
Linaro is an initiative undertaken by ARM, Canonical and partners with the task of improving the state of the whole Linux on ARM ecosphere. It brings together the vast talents of the open source community and ARM's wealth of experience in the electronics industry to work on key and game-changing projects. It will work in the various upstreams where possible and provide engineering, technical and guidance support for a wide and diverse set of problem area's. Linaro will not just help other projects, there will also be a clear set of deliverables which will culminate Linaro's efforts into regular 6 monthly engineering releases, starting this November.
Release Objectives
So this is the area which gets me the most excited. As the release manager for Linaro I am responsible for making sure each and every release captures exactly what the essence of Linaro is, consolidation, collaboration, improvement and robustness. Each of these qualities are goals for the Linaro releases and to that end our first release, 10.11, will contain all of these in abundance.
Building upon the already successful Linux on ARM effort, Linaro will utilize Canonical's Launchpad framework including bug management, code hosting and blueprints.
Just some of the high-level highlights are below. I'll leave the other Linaro team members to blog the details about their teams efforts later.
- Help standardize the industry on common kernel versions and features.
- Improve debugging and performance analysis at the kernel level.
- Bring power management and performance improvements including boot speed reduction.
- Promote and implement device-tree's on ARM hardware.
- Provide test 'heads', whole vertical software stacks and distributions, to show what can be done on top of Linaro.
- Explore integrating telephony right into the distribution.
- Improve the state of graphics acceleration.
- Provide QA and validation harnesses to ensure anything built with Linaro is of the highest standard.
- Offer performance analysis and suggestions on how to improve.
- Supply a whole host of development, archive and image management, and distribution creation and customization tools.
And much, much more. A full list of blueprints which capture what we are trying to achieve can be found on the Linaro wiki.
Get Involved
For more information on the Linaro initiative please see the official website and the wiki. We have mailing lists and a Launchpad project page and I invite you all to come and participate in this exciting and ground-breaking venture.
What next?
So whats next? Well, the famous words of Albert Einstein that opened this post are most relevant here. We are the Genius's trying to make ARM development both easier and simpler. So with courage and a bit of luck, Linaro will succeed in bring Linux and ARM to a whole new level.
11 Responses to 'Towards Linaro 10.11'
The launchpad work isnt viewable to the public. Are there any plans in opening up the launchpad page?
The launchpad page at http://www.launchpad.net/linaro is open. There is no specific code hosted there at the moment though so not much to see.
But isnt there supposed to be blueprints..etc there?
The openness and upstream-ness of Linaro applies here. All blueprints that the Linaro team are currently working on are actually under the Ubuntu project as all work is landing straight there.
What about the middleware?? Can get some information?? Will it be an Moblin/MeeGo alternative, I agree with Marcus, see mailinglist:
There will be more than one vertical stack of middleware software. MeeGo, Moblin and others can use Linaro as a stable, validated and fully functional base on which to improve. Linaro will provide 'proof of concept' implementations for many of these popular distributions to show the advantages of using what Linaro has to offer.

Canonical seems to be closing rather than opening (I'm thinking of their cloud services here) and there is little information on how the ARM v7 Ubuntu build system works. When will Linaro, Canonical, et. al. open up to the community in the way that Debian, the Linux kernel and other projects are open?
Linaro is an entirely separate entity from Canonical. As for opening up the Linaro efforts, everything is already open. The build system uses Live helper and the kernel is available now, take a look at https://wiki.linaro.org/Source/
Let me re-iterate, Linaro is by definition, completely open, with the reserved exception that work it does enabling specific hardware partners, especially when the hardware is not public knowledge, can be closed for a time. If you find anything that is closed then please file a bug or pester the team as it shouldn't be

What is the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act?
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) was signed into law on October 13, 1994. USERRA clarifies and strengthens the Veterans' Reemployment Rights (VRR) Statute. The Act itself can be found in the United States Code at Chapter 43, Part III, Title 38. USERRA is intended to minimize the disadvantages to an individual that occur when that person needs to be absent from his or her civilian employment to serve in this country's uniformed services. USERRA makes major improvements in protecting servicemember rights and benefits by clarifying the law and improving enforcement mechanisms. It also provides employees with Department of Labor assistance in processing claims. Specifically, USERRA expands the cumulative length of time that an individual may be absent from work for uniformed services duty and retain reemployment rights.

Sotomayor navigates Senate corridors on her way to confirmation hearing
Democrats push for July; GOP senators say they need more time to examine her record.
(Page 2 of 2)
"I think she deserves to be challenged. I think she needs to prove to me and others, not just me, but anybody out there who's looking for an independent judge that, if they found themselves in litigation with a Latina woman...that she would give you a fair shake," he said, after his June 3 "get-to-know-you" session with Sotomayor.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
What personal contact can do is to put a face on nominees before the bright lights of a public hearing.
"We have so much in common. We both went to the same kind of schools with nuns, we both had very strong mothers, we're both Nancy Drew fans, and we were both on debating teams," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D) of Maryland.
"She's a bicycle rider. I'm a bicycle rider. We talked a little bit about our favorite routes," said Sen. Charles Schumer (D) of New York. "She's a very human person of great legal mind. And I think that's the right person to be on the Supreme Court."
Sometimes, the face-to-face encounters can also put legal controversies in a broader, less partisan context.
"There's a fairly long tradition of those courtesy calls," says Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond in Virginia, who attended Sotomayor's speech in which she made the "wise Latina woman" comment. "There is a value both in terms of educating the senators and making them more comfortable in a personal and professional way with the nominee."
The speech, "Raising the Bar: Latino and Latina Presence in the Judiciary and the Struggle for Representation" was not controversial at the time and in context -- a law school conference in Berkeley, Calif., on the need to increase Latino representation on the federal bench.
"Other people on various panels said more radical things," says Professor Tobias. "I don't think anybody at the time thought that her speech was radical in any serious way."
In between Senate visits on Thursday, Sotomayor returned a 171-page questionnaire for judicial nominees to the Senate Judiciary Committee offices -- a near record turnaround for a Supreme Court nominee, according to committee staff. But the date for her confirmation hearing is still in dispute.
Democrats want to set hearings before the August recess. Republicans say they need more time to vet her 17-year record of judicial decisions, speeches and comments.
"We could do them on Mondays and Fridays, when we're not otherwise engaged," quipped Sen. Arlen Specter (D) of Pennsylvania, after meeting with Sotomayor.
Specter is the former ranking Republican on the Judiciary committee. His party switch in April gives Democrats a 12-7 edge on the committee that votes Sotomayor's nomination to the Senate floor. But, he says, "I'm going to reserve judgment until we follow the constitutional process."

The rapid disappearance of stock-exchange trading floor "specialists" is starting to hurt the booming exchange-traded-fund business.
Specialists are the elite traders who, for many years, have helped maintain orderly trading amid the chaos of the floor. Now they are a vanishing breed as electronic trading gains acceptance -- the New York Stock Exchange has seen its specialists decline more than 30% since last year.

One day when I was in 7th grade I was riding the bus home and having a conversation with my friend's girlfriend about how sometimes music just can't be loud enough. Sometimes you just want the sound to pervade your existence. In a flash of transience the corporeal perception of vibration can elevate the spirit to a level previously thought to be out of reach. It's almost like god is whispering in your ear and you want to turn the volume up to 11 to get the message in its purest form. The sound controls you and you feel as though you've experienced something that is supposed to be a secret. Your head nods and your shoulders sway as if you were possessed. Music gets me higher than anything. Anyone else ever felt that feeling?
I agree......about the first thing i do when getting a vehicle is spend even more cash upgrading the soundsystem. i honestly don't listen to a lot of music at home, but I love driving, and music is a must. Some people see having a good car audio system as something only kids are interested in.....not true. i'm damnn near 30, and I can't stand listening to a pathetic factory system more than a week before i start doing something about it. I don't just want to hear music, I want to FEEL it. Music is one of the few things I can never get enough of. While I have friends who seem to listen to the same old bands forever, I'm constantly expanding what I'm listening to, randomly downloading anything I see that sparks my interest.
i know what you mean, sometimes it cant get loud enough. however if the music is clear and hits in the right spots it can be better than pure volume. one of my buddy's uncles is the founder and owner of a major car audio store chain in the southwest, and this guy (my friend) knows how to put together a killer system. every time I ride in any of his vehicles the sound is perfect. I cruise around with him and enjoy sound better than a live concert. when the base rumbles just right from underneath and the trebles hit perfectly from all around, to the point where the music feels just as good as it sounds, it really takes one to another world.
you are right about sound. i am over 50 and still enjoy loud music. car stereo around 250 watts (i dont want to shake the bolts loose on my new car). the good 1 is my home stereo. i play in a band and have it hooked up to my p.a. system. this pushes 3500 watts (1750 per side). cant go over 2-3 in my house without cracking the plaster. but enough to play loud in a small arena. crystal clear sound though. i am sure glad i have good neighbours.
Not for me... yesterday I was with some kids smokin and cruisin and just couldn't keep a high when the system was turned up to 28-30 when 4 is what I would have it on to hear it. The vibrations from the subs was kinda cool. I tried to relax and enjoy it but I just couldn't... and was high no more. It's just too loud for me, I can feel my ear drums or tubes or whatever vibrating and made my head hurt.
I know exactly what your saying, it's just a buzz kill if you ask me. I like my music loud...I play drums...but those subs blasting your ears off is to much for me.
Yeah, I was in the back of the car of a friend smoking up, and they decided to play Alice Cooper. It's a simple setup (couldn't have been more than a 30W amp to a 200W single speaker...it's a compact), but the bass shook through the back of the seat and massacred my high. The bass was strong enough that I couldn't feel myself breathe. It was one of the more unpleasant things I've experienced. My ears are pretty sensitive to bass frequency. In the grand scheme of things, the bass level on any sound setup I have is comparatively low. I'm a real audiophile and much more about quality of sound than volume. Give me a good set of Bose or Sennheiser headphones over a system in the kW range.
You're right, I guess I'm not...</sarcasm> Do please take your asinine comments elsewhere lest you actually add something constructive.
