    XBL^2 Poll

    The XBL^2 tweeters are OEM products from the company Dan Wiggins works for: Acoustic Development International. The last I heard, they were in a few home audio finished units, and were "in the plans" of an online car audio company that has an active presence in forums. In the case of the...

    XBL^2 Poll

    RE Audio will never license XBL^2 tech again, but there have been XBL^2 tweeters for at least a couple years now.

    XBL^2 Poll

    XBL^2 and the iteration in the H2 share something in common: they're both dual-gap, single-coil designs. The difference is that the space between the gaps in an XBL^2 motor is achieved by machining a gap into a single continuous top plate, whereas the dual-gap approach patented by STEP...

    2012, End of the World!

    If you believe that the world will end in 2012, give some good arguments or evidence to support that. Tell us why you believe, and why we should, too.

    2012, End of the World!

    My mother's boyfriend is certain that the world is going to end in 2012. It is one of the worst repeat conversations I've ever had.....

    I do not have the time to teach remedial logic on an internet forum, and it's really sapping my energy to tediously explain things that should be obvious. 1. The comparison to arguments about slaves is not a comparison of context; it is a challenge via analogy to your logical form and...

    And what does that have to do with the validity of the argument itself? This is every bit as preposterous a way to argue as it was when enlightenment folk argued that every other country owns slaves, too. When a government tells you who can work for your company and who can't, that's the...

    Why do you care if they speak English or not? Would you like to deport all the naturalized citizens that don't pay tax?

    We're not just talking about the flow of illegal aliens; we're talking about control over the flow of legal immigrants, too. You put scare quotes around "controls who can compete" as if that's not exactly what the government is doing when they choose who is allowed into the country to work and...

    On the contrary, I drew my conclusion based on what has largely been proposed. I have yet to hear a proposal that will result in less government spending, smaller government, and more liberty, than my proposition. Apparently there are such ways, and yet you refuse to propose them (you just...

    What a cop out! I was mocking those who claim fiscal conservatism while they argue for more spending and bigger government. Not sure where the contradiction is there. I sure do: globalization and classical liberalism (aka libertarianism). The reason I didn't say anything about Mexico is...

    Can you point out the direct contradiction? Logic is a specialty of mine. I'm not totally convinced you know what I'm arguing for. For example, I would argue that the US and Mexico should both drastically relax their immigration laws (same goes for Canada and everywhere else). I do think it...

    I mean shit, some of you want your government to tell you what language you're allowed to speak, and what language(s) you're allowed to serve your customers in. Because, ya know, pressing 1 for English is just such an inconvenience.

    I can make bald assertions, too, and not provide supporting arguments. Apparently, just telling someone they're wrong is sufficient. Perhaps you can explain to me how any of the stricter border and immigration policies will result in smaller government, less taxes, and a freer market.

    Spend, spend, spend, and let's get bigger government and more taxes while we're at it. Let's control who can compete in the job market and who can't. So say the "fiscal conservatives." Admittedly, my idea of what to do would be a drastic change (ramp up globalization), but I'm reminded of...
