No doubt he takes them to the St. Francis to get them washed. Wouldn't want them tarnishing his white gloves http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/12/27/MNHU1GT8K4.DTL

Indeed. Like Sheep. No doubt you have committed this to memory. And if people disagree with you, just call them a bunch of penes!

Geek Music Debate: Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer vs. Professor Elemental Teacore or chap-hop? Mr. B, the Gentleman Rhymer or Professor Elemental? Yup, that’s right, it’s a genuine rap battle in the nerdcore world. The battle has officially begun with Professor Elemental’s recent release of the video for his Mr. B diss, “Fighting Trousers.” I’ll pit them against each other in a battle royale of six different categories and then decide on a winner (all due respect must go to Jack Mangan for his Duel of the Fates podcast. Without that, this column would not exist. And my “battle” is meant to be taken no more seriously than his). It’s on like Donkey Kong (Nintendo hasn’t trademarked that yet, have they? from: http://fandomania.com/geek-music-debate-mr-b-the-gentleman-rhymer-vs-professor-elemental/

APC 1000VA POWER SAVING GREEN BACK-UPS XS - WITH LCD DISPLAY $89.99 Online Only - with free Shipping from Office Max http://www.officemax.com/technology/cables-surge-battery-backup/ups-surge-protection/ups-battery-backup-devices/product-prod2850538?cm_mmc=Shopping-_-Technology-_-Cables,%20Surge%20and%20Battery%20Backup-_-UPS%20and%20Surge%20Protection&srccode=cii_13736960&cpncode=00-12182501-2 Recently bought one from a B+M Store for more. This is a very good price, especially with the free shipping. You do run all your non battery powered critical devices (or ones that just don't like hard power resets) off a UPS don't you? cheap insurance at the price. Also nice LCD that can be used to measure power draw / time remaining.

Al, Hope you manage to end up somewhere warm + dry with a suitable drink in your hand. There has been quite a lot of weather (wind + rainfall) in Marin recently, and it all has to end up somewhere. Continued best wishes for your Mother.

You might want to compare iPeng with squeezepad. Both apps have their fans.

I didn't . Joanne purchased one for use with her business

The latest version of Tapatalk now exploits the increased resolution of the iPad. Update your apps!

Do you see any anomalies in Audacity?

Having just paid more for the local dealer to read the codes after Joanne told me the check engine light came on, and tell me that "All the sensors were OK, so we reset the light", I decided to acquire the capability for myself, should it happen again.

Al, best wishes for your mother, all the rest is just small stuff. Quite a wet and windy night for your special day.

Happy Birthday Al. I predict celebratory cocktails! Maybe This http://www.shot-cocktail-recipe.com/cocktail-recipes/happy_birthday_1.html ( looks a bit sweet ) or more in keeping with the moar hard core nature of this site http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink11675.html maybe this by the end of the evening http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink7724.html (but somehow i doubt it) Enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday x2, Have a a great one guys.

Your research appears to be correct!

Here Perhaps? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkpoint_Charlie_Museum . Visited it when the wall was up, and with Joanne, just as it was coming down. I recall how cold it was, and the incessant sound of people chipping at the wall with hammers. November '89. Wow, that long ago.

True dat. (Executive summary: TL;DR ) However, reduction of nuanced technical arguments to a series of bullet points Sound Bad! Hulk Smash! Has its own set of dangers. http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/discourse http://www.sociablemedia.com/articles_culture.htm Eschewing Obfuscation and espousing elucidation is a noble aim. http://www.lawrence-najjar.com/papers/Eschew_obfuscation.html

If it sounds good, but has glaring technical problems, would it sound better if they fixed those glaring technical problems? Why put up with fixable / avoidable glaring technical problems? If Beringer can avoid them for $29 it seems to imply that cost is not the issue in avoiding the problems? If you have a defined test regime, then you can apply the same tests ( + measurements) to different devices irrespective of the cost of the device, and compare them. In the absence of measurements, how do you get a (process/product) improvement feedback loop to make better stuff? As Lord Kelvin said "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it." You can argue about measuring the right things, would the same approach be justified if he warned consumers against expensive gear that measured and sounded bad, when there was better sounding gear that measured better for less? I'm looking forward to Tyll measuring the Bose and Beats headphones
