  1. Happy Birthday, Sir!
  2. Plays flac for me (Sansa Clip and Sansa Clip+). Check out the forum at Sansa Clip / Clip+ - abi>>forums for a good source of info. Using their advice, no extra software to install for Upgrading the firmware, or transferring files! plays nice with Etys. Plays even Nicer with JH-13's. No complaints about Sansa Clip+ -> Pico Slim -> JH-13's

  4. So, Craig, that probably means you were around for the original "Survivors", or the "you can see the walls move" low budget sets of Blake's 7?
  5. I'm suprised this isn't an app yet Cupidtino is a beautiful new dating site created for fans of Apple products by fans of Apple products! Why? Diehard Mac & Apple fans often have a lot in common – personalities, creative professions, a similar sense of style and aesthetics, taste, and of course a love for technology. We believe these are enough reasons for two people to meet and fall in love, and so we created the first Mac-inspired dating site to help you find other Machearts around you. Cupidtino will launch in June 2010 exclusively on Apple platforms – Safari, iPhone and iPad apps. It’s time to share the love. Cupidtino via: Apple-obsessed geeks launch fanboi dating site
  6. BBC America programs are often edited for time (check the program runtimes), Have Ad's inserted etc. If you've seen the originals, its hard to go back.
  7. Dynamic range == Loudest to silence == Max Value - 0 == Max value == f (Bit depth). Resolution == smallest difference == Value of LSB -0 == LSB value == f (Bit depth). So Dynamic Range and resolution are both functions of bit depth. Hence Dynamic range implies resolution ( as a bit depth implies dynamic range). Both are limited by SNR aka noise floor. FR was mentioned to counter the unqualified , bigger numbers are better, position. Does that work for you?
  8. Bit depth == Dynamic Range == Resolution* Sampling Rate == (2 * ) Frequency Response (see Nyquist ) So unless you are a bat, higher sampling rates are not necessarily MOAR Betterer ** * Subject to SNR if you insist ** Filering and aliasing artifacts aside

  10. Concur with Spooks being enjoyable twaddle. We managed to get some american friends hooked on it. Their take on it was that there was a 'real' sense of danger, as from time to time the lead characters died (unlike US series), but you never knew where or when it would happen - hence the sense of danger. Add in some fairly dry humour, some observations on the expedient nature of politicians, inter service rivalry between 5 and 6, the nature of the "special relationship" and some plausible topical themes and you have a fun watch.
  11. Let me know if you find any real world recordings with 180 dB Dynamic range
  12. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Mars_(TV_series) is well worth seeing
  13. Interesting Radio 4 program, listen-able on BBC's iPlayer in the US, (for the next 2 days) here: BBC - BBC Radio 4 Programmes - The Art of Re-mastering Sara Mohr-Pietsch explores digital re-mastering: is it the art of restoring music to its original glory; or just another way of selling us music we already own? The whole of the Beatles back catalogue has recently been re-released in re-mastered form; a quick search of any record store or online shop will reveal that a large number of recordings have been re-mastered, from very old crackly recordings to very recent releases. But what do the words 'digitally re-mastered' on a cd actually mean? Sara Mohr-Pietsch visits London's iconic Abbey Road Studios (recently awarded Grade II listed status) to meet some of the engineers who re-master recordings there. She asks them and others from the music industry what re-mastering actually means. She learns that sometimes re-mastering can be as much about what to leave in as what to leave out. And is it an advantage to have the original artist involved in the process? Sara also considers the consumer's point of view; we've already bought these recordings on vinyl and cd (and possibly cassette as well) so why do we need to buy them again? Can the average listener hear any difference between the original version of (for instance) a pop song from the 1960s and the re-mastered version? Sara looks at the technology that is used to clean up very old recordings, where the music is often buried almost completely beneath noise and the sonic distortions caused by very primitive recording equipment. Whatever your view is of the value of re-mastering, what is clear is that the re-mastering engineers Sara meets treat the work they do with great care and reverence - they are often uncovering moments in history See if you can work out Thomas Dolby's opinion of Labels, and if the (re)mastering engineer is employing the Nuremburg Defense
  14. Be careful what you wish for, although, to be fair, costume wise, you are asking the right person (Tyll that is). Vicki at can jam in This? Gets my vote! NTTAWWT!
  15. Just finished charging Pico Slim #0053, at work
  16. x2 Serial #0053 Yeah! EDIT: Can you really call one side of a postcard, a user manual? Maybe Justin should have been greener and put the URL where users could download it
  17. Yes, but what about pets?
  18. Joanne and I, decided to play tourist again and head over to Napa - the town, rather than the valley. Forearmed with some research on chowhound and Yelp, we decided to hit Boon Fly Caf on the way in. Joanne went for the Eggs Benedict, with thick salty ham, and jalapeno hollandaise sauce. I went for the breakfast flatbread with bacon, eggs and caramelized onions But we ended up sharing anyway - an Ideal combination. Then onwards to Napa itself. We had a look round the new riverside development, and concurred with this article Morimoto in Napa - San Francisco Bay Area - Chowhound A housing bubble burst and a recession is probably the wrong time for such a thing. Plenty of "For Lease" signs in prime downtown store locations .... Went over to the Oxbow Public Market Napa CA , but it too could do with being busier, add to that the wrangle over the Taylors Automatic Refresher now having a different name Sudden Name Change of Historic Taylor's Refresher in St. Helena Outrages Family - Forbes.com all interesting stuff. We did however notice the local library was having a book sale, and had a good old browse, leaving with a bag stuffed with books for only $2.50! score! Not a bad day all in all. Weather was sunny and up in the high seventies. What more could you want *Photos from yelp for illustrative purposes only
