I don't see why they wouldn't work. Of course, you'd have to wear some kind of head set/band to hold the direction indicator (i.e. the sensor that tells the Realiser which way your head is turned). Normally this is attached to the top of the headphones.

You mean he didn't look or act like Shrek?

In the type of fighting Naaman does, the goal is to see that the enemy never gets a turn.

Sounds good. Yum!

Self-loathing?

I haven't checked cameras in 3 or 4 years or so, but typically Canon has better low light performance than Panasonic. If you are willing to post process, they are about the same. I suggest that you read reviews in the better review sites and see what makes sense for you. Here are the review sites I like: Digital Camera Reviews and News: Digital Photography Review: Forums, Glossary, FAQ Steve's Digicams - Main Menu Unbiased Digital Camera Reviews and News | Digital Camera Resource Page

I highly recommend getting image stabilization. Having it makes for much better pictures. At least it does in my shaky hands.

Mine wasn't that hard to open once I realized that one of the screws wasn't 1/16". I can't remember for sure but think it was the closest metric size to 1/16". The writing on the hex key was too small for my old eyes to read.

I agree about getting something like a modded Denon 2900. However, it's much cheaper to buy an already modded player used than to pay a modder to do it. A modded player just doesn't hold its value. And no, my eXemplar Denon 2900 is not for sale.

I had bad luck with a Canon P&S. It had to go back once for repair under warranty (still have to pay shipping) and then failed again just after warranty. I replaced it with a Panasonic and have been using it since. So I also recommend the Panasonic. They are great for everything except night photography.

My condolences to you and your family. We lost a cat 11 years ago to coyotes. Our cats have been indoor cats ever since.

Well, I'm too lazy to check out the battery access and am not going to see if it will survive a 10' fall on concrete. The case is hard plastic with a soft plastic cover. It comes with a temperature probe and with decent probe-type leads. How this compares to a Fluke I can't say. Maybe you should order one and tell me. Otherwise you can wait for an experienced DIY guy to receive his and then get an informed report. Meanwhile, I'll go search for some clip-type leads tomorrow.

Wouldn't know. I've never had the pleasure of feeling a Fluke. It seems to be fine to me.

I got mine a couple of days ago. It looks like the meter in the ad. It seems to be built well enough. I've done a few simple measurements. So far I'm happy as a clam. Edit: Instructions aren't great but that won't affect most of you.

It can vary, but typically you need a 1/16" hex wrench to remove the 4 bolts that hold the bottom to the top. Just turn the amp over, remove the 4 bolts and remove the bottom. All of the guts are attached to the top.

Do you ask this question a lot? That might explain the recent lack of GFs.

You can use the "Singlepower method", which is to solder a paper clip across the void.

Your death will be sinister.

Yes. The truth is that once it became clear exactly what Mikhail was and wasn't, I found it quite easy to write him off. I also expected the worst though. Even though it was working, I wanted somebody knowledgeable to look at my Extreme. The results of that did not surprise me. Then I decided I had better check the very expensive tube he sold me. Oops, not surprised again. It could have been worse. I do have the attenuator and BGs that I paid too much for. Lots of people didn't get their overpriced enhancements. Now there's nothing left that he could have cheated me on. Mostly I just wanted to warn people that Mikhail had issues with things other than his amps.

I like BMWs, but not enough to pay for them. However, the boss insists on owning BMWs so I get her castoffs. The current castoff is a 2000 323i. At least I was smart enough to get the Sports Package when we ordered it.

What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW? With a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.

I just discovered my latest Mikhail "gotcha". At his last public appearance, the June 2008 NorCal meet, I bought a NOS 6385 tube from Mikhail for what turned out to be about 50% more than the going price at the time. Later I wrote that off as more bad dealings with Mikhail. Today, I stuck it on the Jackson 648A tube tester I recently bought. Both sections test at ~30%. So he got me twice, once for the exorbitant price and once for a bad tube at that price. I'm posting this to warn you to test all tubes that you might have bought from Mikhail. There is a good chance that some/many of them are bad. The good news is that now that my Extreme has been made reliable (and better sounding) and finding out about this tube, I've worked through all possible things that can go wrong with Mikhail. I'll never buy another thing from him so it's now a great day and I can move on to better things.
