    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    they all do if you format it right. My 32gb max one does... Wow, just might be one of the dumbest things I have ever read on the internet. The world is idiotic, not that idiotic. http://www.aecom.com/deployedfiles/Internet/Capabilities/Economics/_documents/2012%20Theme%20Index%20Combined_1-1_online.pdfDisney has a higher attendance rate than the top world wide museums. What other kind of culture gets 13 million visitors a year?J Paris as a city gets way more, hell the fucking Louvre which is what 0.05% the size of Disney World gets nearly 10 Million. Your statement above was 'visiting culture' in which it is horribly outnumbers. By more than an order of magnitude.By the way, Disney is not culture it is sickening American shit that is akin to McPukes. Lack of culture perhaps, not culture. Considering Disney is in Orlando http://www.ibtimes.com/orlando-surpasses-new-york-most-visited-us-city-1574621Paris does get more but not as much of a gap as may be expected. http://www.thelocal.fr/20140311/paris-still-worlds-top-tourist-destinationAnd for ParisHigh end cultural places. That would be a museum, the ballet, orchestra's or the theatre.Disney is still culture by definition. While it may not stack up to your level of what is good culture, it still is.J Culture - the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=cultureDisney doesn't make that cut, if you think it does that is seriously sad. Very sad.44 million people travel to Paris a year. All of them to experience the culture of the city. Orlando has NONE. May have visitors, but they aren't there for a cultural experience. Human intellectual achievement can mean many things. Do you consider the arts such as music, illustration, dance, and literature pieces of culture? Disney has provided all of those things. Yes Millions of people visit Paris. I do not dispute this fact. But what aspects of culture do you think they are there for? Additionally the meaning of 'culture' changes by environment. The world's fair back 60+ years ago was considered a cultural wonder. Something everyone should experience. Now it has been dwindled down to sluts in skimpy clothing plugging a product they have no fucking clue about. Is that cultural? All depends on where you live. J Hillbilly idiots akin to what you find in Deliverance are culture by your definition.You are making me feel sorry for you J. Honestly, your view of culture, based on your arguments, is exceptionally narrow minded. I will agree with J on these points. The "culture" in Paris sucks dick... and yes, I have been there. Collections of art and culture from artists outside of France does not constitute Paris as a cultural godsend, no matter how impressive the Louvre is. The majority of that art is from Italy anyways. And fuck Parisians, the giggly girls at Disney are far more polite and receptive than anyone I met in that stinky shithole that houses the Eiffel Tower. So a desire of education is narrow minded. That's funny.Paris, Rome, Tokyo - doesn't matter which. Just ain't idiotic Disneyworld crap. Really easy to define and understand, just look at the average person desiring to go there. Sure Paris attracts a ton of dipshits, but nothing compared to things like State Fairs which are akin to Disney. Not my point at all. Disney is, no matter how much you choose not to believe it, a cultural icon. Take 1/2 the paintings in the Louve and ask anyone in the "civilized" world who envisioned and portrayed them. Now, take 1/2 of the characters at Disney and ask the same people who envisioned and portrayed them. Guess which collection wins. No, Disney is not DaVinci, Michelangelo or VanGogh, but it defines a single culture far more than any of these artists do. It is also more recognizable. Culture is not defined as what you think is impressive, rather it is a definitive representation of an age or civilization... and Disney is synonymous with the single greatest nation in the world today. Sure, while I abhor the people, I would rather walk the hallways of the Louvre than the sidewalks of Disney World, but you can't deny the impact that Disney has had on our culture, or the world, unless you are narrow minded or completely self-absorbed. And to further my point... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Paris Yet I have never seen Louvre, FL USA. cultureless is not culture

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Then they know the average tourist is Joe Dirt so they have to dumb down the buildings, the art, the scenery and the food. I just can't see how that could possibly be appealing to anyone and what sort of lack of education makes this desirable.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Seriously though, put Epcot in perspective. I want to see Paris, but don't want to go there so I will go see one city block of it and now feel I understand France, it's food & it's people?

    Can't get a smartphone that will hold 160GB. Meh. My wives will. Hell any of the new ones can. 128gb microSD and a 32gb phone. I guess it is more like 158 as the bloatware wastes a bit.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Nope. I just consider culture to be a broad spectrum of things. Not just one small area. As it all started though, I consider the food in Epcot to be well done in certain aspects. Sean on the other hand does not. Agree to disagree. J But your explanation was less funny, or antagonistic. Well shit. I was not trying to be antagonistic, and was blind to it coming across that way. Sean I apologize for being antagonistic. J No worries, not my goal either. Amusingly the narrow minded comment is particularly funny to me as my whole reaction is to encouraging thinking. I am biased though because I've been to a huge percentage of the globe. It is not possible to port over a culture to another area to then perceive it. Just doesn't work that way.

    New speaker set up?

    A crossover made for one speaker to cross at 1500Hz could easily be at 3000Hz for another. Any real crossover design will be done in situ. The drivers change greatly even in their mounting environment. Those crossovers were junk in the first place and definitely won't work with any generic drivers from PE. If you really liked them new, just get another set. Any other recommendation that anyone gives you will just be personal on what they have as you haven't given us any information that we could use to help. Sad part with this though is that for next to no dough you could have just fixed the ones you have.

    The real problem is that people are stupid. Educating them so that McDonalds, KFC, Taco Bell.... would all go out of business would be great. That would be the kiss of death for Disney as well. Seriously sad to me how many sheep just don't get it.

    That really sticks? No, a certified letter with vin matching and a $1500 fee for a lawyer made the cops looks stupid. I might have pressed a suit against the city/county/state etc. Obviously a cop blatantly lied completely. Fuck that . Lawyer should get them to pay his fees

    There is not a single thing good about that state. If the USA were to take a shit, we'd call it Michigan.I've been to a lot of beautiful places in Michigan. The drive to get there is ALWAYS painful though.My complaints are more practical and about how the state is ran, less about it's aesthetic beauty. I've never been to the UP but I hear it's awesome.cA is still worse.<--in Michigan right now....although only for a few more minutes as I am having a cocktail in first class
