Let's look back at the launch of PS3 and the 360. Every other day it seemed that Sony stepped on their faces with faux pas after faux pas. Anyone remember Sony execs saying that peeps should get another job to afford a PS3? Yeah, Sony screwed up the launch of that console. They seem to have...

It's entirely up to you. I can appreciate either direction you choose on colors. I envy the choice of an original custom color scheme but nothing is wrong with any classic color scheme either.

Yes, bound neck. Oddly, I haven't taken any pics of this so I will have to use the pics that were shown when it was resurrected. I will try to get more current pics. It was a butchered restoration that Jason Mendelson had done. Basically, the lower wing at some point was "fixed" with...

I have that perfect bass then. 4003S body with the sharkfin inlays. Toaster and RIHS to round it out. :)

You know what? That probably explains it. The white probably isn't a COY but as Jaymi stated a limited run. The COY hasn't been shown yet. Thoughts anyone?

Finger style thumping or none for me, thanks. :) Am I reading this white 4003 as the COY? Is it unusual for such a low number of COYs to be produced? If not, I need to redefine my idea of what COY is. I had thought it was a limited color run and not so much both a limited color run and limited...

Yes, a leak that big will leave a mark so noticable, you will see where it's leaking quickly. Fill the radiator back up. Start the engine and let it sit 3 minutes under heavy idle. Then get out and start watching. If it's looking like the water/coolant is coming from the engine, take it...

Karma happens. Negative karma happens negatively. To you. To those around you. To your world. You choose.

Skip down a few sentences and decipher what he's saying in its entirety instead of "verse camping"--as I call the Bible verse campers who miss the point. Read the entire passage and look at the personal responsibility aspect he's referring to. Now ask yourself how that relates to what you say...

I keep meaning to take a pic of a local establishment that has a sign that reads, "Hippies use the side door".

Yes. KILLS them the very second they walk into the bar. Every bar has an anti-smoker device installed on each entrance (by government mandate) that instantly vaporizes any non-smoker upon entry. Kills the beer delivery guy. Kills the kid washing dishes. Kills the bum trying to find change in...

Lets look at that. Alcohol KILLS people. Lots of people. It's a bit more complex than you want to make it out to be. Your bias against smoking and smokers is your defense against your inability to internally disconnect your want of smoking with others free choice to do so. Do not pander to me...

In this thread, it seems pretty clear you didn't intend to be anyone's friend. :(

And they have that right. Kudos to them if they choose to exercise that right.

Please enlighten me, oh Great enlightened master. Can you do so without coming across as an intolerant (L word)? (edit: Sorry Thor)

That's funny since I don't smoke. Booyah!

Every city block has a gas station, a 7-11 or a convenience store of some sort. Im not making excuses for lack of jobs but you're being silly with this imaginary "dude".

And that's your opinion/preference. Your sh1t in a cup is definitely something that I would consider mental.

Don't porn stars actually make their living by being laid on?

McDonalds, Taco Bell. Walmart. Target. Non smoking places....that offer jobs!!

Well yeah. Lets ban them. Im for that. Hipsters too. And porn stars. Wait. What did I say?

No, I ignored it because I thought it was pretty well known that the NYT is agenda driven. I like some of their op ed folks for entertainment but their reporting is pretty crap, just like most mainstream reporting. And yes, Im a cancer survivor too. How about that? The differences here it seems...

Farsical statement and specious. If the smoker isn't smoking at the time, their contact with people doesn't affect others. Secondly, their choice of being overweight affects others, the health insurance of those who don't eat like a glutton, etc. You can't argue it both ways.

He's saying that a lot of sweeping generalizations have been said in this thread.

Do you mean non smokers that have always been non smokers or the recently quit and newly minted non smokers or a combination of the two?

There is no direct cause linking smoking with lung cancer. There are corollaries that suggest a link but there is no direct link or everyone you ever heard of that smoked for 40+ years would die of lung cancer or emphysema or congestive heart failure or something similar. That. Does. Not...

Im saying that its common for former smokers to gain 15 lbs or more after quitting. It's a pretty common thing. In fact, its pretty much expected.

And yet you miss another obviousness... With the former smokers now not smoking, the average weight goes up and health costs rise still. Using the health cost argument is non productive at the least.

I will concede that possibility as I had envisioned you in a cage rolling down the road with the windows up and the windows of the smokers car rolled up. Yes, I have heard smokers claim that before. My apologies for assuming you were implying the same.

It's not nearly as easy to detect as you make it out to be either.

If your olfactory abilities can factor out carbon monoxide, burnt oil, catalytic converters and other road going odors and yet zero in on cigarette smoke, which literally has 1000 different distinct smells (which your acute eyesight has factored it in on the brand you're seeing) then has it...

That may work in your company but in many companies it wouldn't. The minute the employer dictates to the customer what they can and can't do in their own home, they lose that customer. And about 99% of customers would too. Your position is untenable in the real world. FTR, I spent 10 years in...

This reminds me of a time I was at a bar in NYC when they had just passed a smoking ban. This particular bar had an outdoor terrace where smoking was allowed. It was a slow weeknight and not many people were there. I smoked at the time and went to the terrace to smoke. To my surprise Some non...

Yes, not only is it a "good idea" but they do it to promote health and use it to cure cancer in some places.

If the barrage of insane incidents this year doesn't prove the media isn't about anything other than themselves, I don't know what will prove it.

The real issue is that money and science have no place together but they both play a part in politics. We have all believed some half assed stuff at one point in our lives. I work in technical terms and concepts and the pseudo science I see spewed by the diarrhea filled media is truly sad...

I quit about four years ago. Smoke up. Doesn't bother me unless you're being a jerk and blowing it in my face, which would've torqued me righteously anyway when I smoked too. I've had very little smoking wants since quitting. One of my quit smoking tricks was that I wanted a new Rickenbacker...

Excellent. It's super easy to do and the results are stellar. I've only had experience with Jetglo. Never had any experience with other Glos.

Not only is it possible but when done correctly you can barely tell it was there. Lacquer nail polish is what you want to start with. Dab it on and let it set a day. Then pull out 1200 grit sandpaper and wet sand it smooth. Then use Scratch X to clean up the sanded surface and polish with...

If it doesn't bother you then leave it. If it bothers you there are two options: remove the rest of the binding and make the body like a 4003S or fix the binding. I personally like the 4003S option but that might be because I have one legit 4003S/5 and then a 4003 that's had the binding removed...
