Enjoythemusic.com has a new review of the M80.
www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1102/axiomm80ti.htm
It's a mostly favorable review in the beginning which turns into an Axiom love fest.
Does anyone else find it really annoying when there are grammatical errors in these "professional reviews", which seems to only happen on the E-zines. All of these people are excellent at hitting the spell check button, but none of them seem to read their work. Come on! And these online mags gripe about not getting taken seriously.

Ever published anything on the web before? It's a lot harder than it looks. Very few of these people are able to live off the revenue from the site as ad money has all but disappeared for web sites. As such, almost all reviewers for enthusiast technology are normal people with normal jobs that do reviews and the like because they enjoy helping the community. As such, they don't have all the time in the world to review their work and they don't have the money to pay dedicated editors to proof.
I only say this as I'm rather well known for the same problem. Readers of www.arstechnica.com are well aware of my inability to focus on my spelling errors.

And somewhat off topic, Semi, do you think Ars will lose the Seti race to that cheating group?

Not really. Last I heard, they were about 40 some odd days out from catching us. If it came down to it, we could pull members from all the other teams (Ars has DC teams for all the major projects) and seriously increase our output.
I'm not worried.

Seti? Little green men? Are they talking to us?

You crazy kids not keep up on the latest tech talk?
ArsTechnica, a longstanding tech site, is leading in the SETI@home project standings (search for extra terrestrials).
seti@home website for anyone home computer ppl who want to join or chek out the info
Recently a European group (Finland?, i don't recall) starting catching up to the Ars team at an impossible pace and it was pretty much discovered there was a cheat going on.
I was asking about it since it is apparent Semi has the inside info on the Ars standings.

Jim, I suspect that they would reject your claim on the ground that true extra-terrestrials would have to be more civilized.
