  3. Reks, rub it in that the BBC's HD is only 1440x1080i, not 1920x1080i, why don't you, even if it meets the EBU guidelines for HD, you insensitive clod BBC HD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  4. And with that, we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming
  5. And individuals? ( why do I need to be a business, or is it only a computer for corporations, but an appliance for individuals?) and whilst we're at it How many Angels can dance on the head of a pin?
  6. Ok, so it's Turing complete. Now deploy an app of your own creation on it without the prior approval of Apple. Computer or Appliance?
  7. But it is more an appliance (as a feature not a bug) The Geomblog: Could the IPad make computer science obsolete ? Would an ipPad (as thin client) and a Hackintosh > MBP for same / less cost? presuming you are predominantly a comsumer as opposed to a producer of content / work
  8. Indeed, but it is lighter, cheaper, and you can type on it!. Don't confuse the monkey with such technical details. They are both shiny and have an apple on the back (and contain a CPU, running software) What more does he need to know
  9. Isn't that your iPad?

  15. Bowler hat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "The derby hat was invented by William Bowler, a London hatter, and originally came as a piece of riding headwear, more practical for active sports than the high beaver hats that dominated for street wear. The bowler was called a derby by a hatter in this country who sponsored it after noting its general use at the English Derby race." source : History of Straw hats & Felt hats ?

    Ric, Al If you could add me to the sneakenetflix queue that would be great It's been on my to do list for too long now - and would be an ideal activity for when the nights start to draw in. Charlie Brooker had an uncharacteristically high opinion of it - which certainly got my attention. Which then managed to get him a good gig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXv3IKfqKmI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvhixZyqDbw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GVBEN1jSt4
  17. Happy Birthday Matt. Exercise all your rights, and wrongs!
  18. @Steve, sorry for your loss. @Brent, scary stuff. Glad it turned out OK in the end, but not something I'd wish on any parent. The above makes yesterdays minor inconvenience seem like small beans in the grand scheme of things. Yesterday at work, thanks to the efforts of some ne'er do well's (Thievery leaves 500 Larkspur, Corte Madera customers without phone, Internet service - Marin Independent Journal) we were without outside phone lines or internet access - the Horror! Progress was made however on our little island of technology, thanks to the lack of distractions/interruptions. A weekly conference call took on a slightly surreal aspect, with all the external parties on a webex, and our little group clustered around an iPhone on speaker mode. Later that evening Joanne and I went to along celebrate the engagement of a fellow Brit ex-pat to a local girl. I guess some people have gotten over the loss of the colonies Beer, BBQ and Live music (A local acoustic group of Dobro Slide Guitar, Fiddle, Double Bass, Drummer (brushes mostly) and Vocalist with Ukulele) - Some interesting arrangements of Brit and American tunes for the occasion. A good time was had by all; Helps that one of the organizers is a party planner.

  20. From the local library. Interesting read, but unlike the product, I found it somewhat unsatisfying. Check out the acknowledgements at the back, and see if you think that this is essentially an unauthorized biography, with all that entails. That said, I found out things I hadn't known before, and it explained some of the socio-economic context of their history. Now why do I feel a craving for a double-double animal style
  21. Q. Can digital audio cables cause ground loops?
  22. Toslink provides galvanic isolation. BNC (75ohms) provides best signal propagation. Better yet check if the BNC connection is transformer coupled to provide ground isolation.
  23. Peltier (The Heatsink Guide - Peltier cooler information) surely
  24. Stock, or audiophile
  25. Aren't you still having the problem of a push protocol, rather than a pull protocol? You're still driving the Dac's clock from the transport clock (albeit on discrete lines)( = PUSH) , rather than using the DAC's clock, to clock data from the transport ( = PULL). Yes, you can buffer the data, but where's the flow control to prevent buffer overruns / underruns? Unless you then modify the dac's clock rate, in which case you have just re-invented wow and fluter in the digital domain
