    A friend and I were discussing it over lunch today, and I was curious how it turned out. I might do this on a old set of atv tires for ice fishing this winter.

Once the command prompt is open it's a whole new ball game. I use a MBP every day for my job and personally and have zero complaints with it. The device WORKS all the time and is powerful enough that when I am doing development/writing tools to assist with my job that it does everything I need it to do. That's kinda weird. We (Dakota Security) started converting everyone to MBP and we started with 4 machines....kind of a beta test. We had HORRIBLE luck with them in a business environment in regards to connecting to panels and reliably running the programs that we needed for report generation, etc... The solution: Dual-boot into windows 7. When it comes to phones I've been a droid guy for a long time but work just gave me a new iphone. I'll say that the iphone from a build quality standpoint is FAR SUPERIOR than ANY droid phone that is on the market. The battery life on it is a hell of a lot better than droid as well. I pulled it off the charger at 6:30 yesterday morning and I'm still sitting at 81% battery today, with moderate use yesterday. We tried the iPhone as well (VZW & AT&T) and while everything you stated above is true, the reception on them was horrible and they often missed calls even when they were stating full signal. We ultimately decided to return all 75 iPhones and went back to droids. Now my iPad that I use for sales calls/presentations is great. I'm not 100% convinced it does anything "better" than my Iconia or even my rooted nook for that matter, but it is easy to use. I'm convinced that Apple has a personal vendetta against me however, I have shitty luck with almost everything that I've tried of theirs (2 bad iMac's in a single day, both brand new, for example) Edit: Let me clarify as I know I sound anti-apple, I'm really not. I understand how/why they work for so many people (especially the iMac/MBP) but I've personally never seen a scenario where I couldn't do better for less money utilizing Windows/Android solutions.

    Our current "world police" attitude stems from the Truman doctrine/Marshall plan. Remember the last time we sat idly by and let the world do its thing? WW2. Then it took us 4 years, thousands of lives, billions of dollars, and 2 nukes to dig it out/restore order. The threat, or perceived threat of being the biggest and baddest kid on the block goes a long way to keeping the peace in the world, not that it fixes everything. This attitude has had good (Berlin/Israel/France/aid to africa/Afganistan in the 80's/Rebuilding Japan and Europe Post WW2/list goes on) and bad (Afganistan in the 1990's/Vietnam/Iraq2.0/Cuba) consequences. So do we stop trying to help because sometimes it backfires? ( i wanted to put that little stirs pot smiley in here, but it seems he's gone).

    I voted for the mustang. Challengers are just too big for me, and the camaros look a bit blocky. The pontiac conversions make them look better, but the mustangs in blue look awesome. I'd just as soon buy one of the V6 cars and put a procharger on it than buy a 5.0 car. Might end up costing more than a V8 car in the end but it something different. And CTS-V's are great. They are one of the few good looking cars that are built today. CTS's stand out, its one good thing Cadillac has done sice the 70's. They dont look like all other GM cars. Besides, every single asian luxury car looks about as exciting as a blade of grass, and the germans aren't far behind. Comparing a CTS V to a mustang cant really be done. You get 50% more car, sizewise and comfort, thats why its 50% more. Its like comparing a S10 to a new Ford Raptor. Or I can save the 40 grand and build an awesome pro touring '67 cougar or something along those lines and forget new stuff.

    GarageAlchemist;324877 wrote: Yea, Sportsmans Warehouse is ridiculus in their rifle/shotgun prices. I've seen stuff that has been used, priced many hundreds above the new prices at Gander/Scheels/Cabelas which are usually pretty close to eachother. I learned that Reeds in Walker has by far the best prices on guns. They advertise the guns at a price very similar to local Gander/Scheels but unlike those two, Reeds will deal with you on the price. I saved $150 on my last handgun I purchased by going through Reeds...even after paying the $20 to have it shipped to Moorhead.
