Well, if you look around they reckon the ps3 will cost around US$900 to make so they will sell it for around US$700 or so. This is just speculation

Im not so sure about how easy it will be to crack the ps3/xbox360. No one as yet has cracked the 360 and its been out for a while (remember with the first one they cracked it in about a week). HDCP has already been hacked from a hardware side, but this time, the manufactures are fighting it by suing the people who did it, since they can threaten you with the DMCA.

But enough of that style crap, how was everyone's cycling today? Mine was good, except for some wind on the way home

Yeah.....desk jockeys who ride 100km a week worried about FSA K-Force versus Record Carbon cranks and which will be stiffer, lighter, faster.....for gawd's sake.

It seems like the more ******** the topic the longer it goes on for?

Need to remember there is 300 odd million of them over there, bound to be a few loose screws.

Bendigo Madison this weekend

I'll be spending the weekend drunk watching bike races and making a general nuisance of myself in various public houses. Life's great. Can't wait. :D :p

Sister-in-law lives about 250m from Tom Flood oval....but I don't think I could stand the feral kids for a whole weekend! Port Fairy Folkie for me...a weekend of music and frosty beverages :)

Any of you boys seen the 2005 NFL Cheerleaders "best of" email doing the rounds?? It's a bit like the Brownlow Girls one that seems to surface each year...

Gold! :D

share it round

Cool send it to info@thylacinecycles.com! :)

Who's bagging out on the Ellsworths? Sure, they used to impode on a regular basis (disc tabs sheering the seatstays off, Seat tubes popping like it's New Years....take your pick) but apparently they've got them sorted now. Best of all, they've moved production inhouse which is a brave move when every other sh¡t company is running off to China.

I feel drained. :beer:

berny 03-09-06 03:20 PM

Bugga! Just re-measured the now stripped Bennett frame and it's actually 55x55 not 55x54 as I earlier thought. :( 54 top tube I can deal with but 55 might be a tad too long. I think I now prefer smaller bikes with taller seat posts and longer stems. They generally have better (for me) seat tube angles.

I just started a flame war in the 'Austin Texas, centre of the cycling universe' thread.

Fellas, I may need some backup :roflmao:

"After hitting a pothole, O'Grady fell hard, breaking his collarbone and five ribs. "

Boonen, 10 wins this year already !!!

Some bunnyhopping practice looks like it might be the order of the day. Ouch.

was another of those look at this bike on ebay situations. was a nice enough bike, a bit old though. i know a guy that had one and he had to get ride of it as he kept breaking somtihng in the rear triangle, and speares were expensive and hard to come buy. i think he has a titus of some sort now.

Backup? You need a bomb shelter after that little beauty - I read it to hubby and we both nearly fell off the couch laughing. Interesting to see if they take the bait.
