It's really more helpful if you give a budget, but I think you'll find very few people who wouldn't recommend the ATH-M50. From what I've owned, nothing hits the price:performance ratio as sweetly, and it is great-soundi

> Why should companies get to pay taxes on "profit" and not on revenue? Because then a company that makes losses (expenses exceed revenues) is still taxable, which isn't sensible. Taxes are not an expense, they are a tax

I am a bit surprised that you say courier services are poor in India. I think they are fantastic! They are extremely cheap, very fast within cities (my corporate package guarantees 24 hours within the greater bombay area and most packages f

That's really cool of you guys. I apologize for doubling my email, because I saw this right after. Your product is slick. I can see myself convincing a customer to use this, which is not something I could say for Dropbox.

But you can go to 9 screens with the existing system: I press Control+[number] and it takes me to that screen--this is built-in today.

I've read only Noble House. It's quite rich on the culture--maybe not so much as Shogun--and captures the setting quite well, but I didn't find it nearly as entrancing as Shogun. Worth a read, still.

I can really only speak for Mumbai, as I've visited Delhi only as a tourist myself a handful of times. The charm of Mumbai is on the streets. The street food, the markets, walking on Marine Drive etc. If you let me know when you're coming a

Maybe it's because I don't use a sherry glass, or maybe I'm just not used to picking out the aromas of whiskey, but this has never worked for me. I don't sniff--that sounds harsh and uninviting--but just gently breathe. With the right amoun

You make plenty of generalizations here, and a lot of them are misleading. Nothing personal, but I'll point out where our opinions differ. I think you had a rough time. Every factory that I am personally in contact with (it's a fair number

I'm glad I can offer the advice. I'm not in a field I would have expected to have seen on here, but it's cool that people are interested.

1 cubic meter is not worth partial containers. You're definitely better off sending it via air. It's only a few dollars a kilo to air something from Asia to the United States (there are obviously some minimums). [edit] Talk to shippers for

I highly recommend reading his book Phantoms in the Brain . Fascinating and approachable introduction to the kind of neuroscience--some of the talk's examples come from this book--that he talks about.

I like the clone. Fun to play around with, and it's definitely weird visualizing music with the chromatic scale in a format like this. Game of Life psuedo-easter egg was also nifty.
