Dusty Chalk

That should be doable, although not what I'm working on.

Adblockers? Someone posted a plugin for Firefox that helps, I forget who. Sure they do. Happy ending? Why are all their faces blocked out?

It depends what you're trying to accomplish. If you're trying to image the band in front of you, then above you would be correct. If you're trying to imagine the band is in the room with you while you are lying down (as I would if I were listening to, say, Cowboy Junkies), then normal positioning would probably more likely accomplish that.

It depends on whether they're being grammatically correct about it or not.

No, but when people mean "anal retentive" and say "anal", I correct them. And snicker to myself while doing so. (Incomplete sentence, yes, I know, it's an internet forum.)

iPhone SDK

Is there an upgrade path, or do I just need to obtain Leopard?

I just installed OS X in a G5. This is my first interaction with Mac. Whee... Yeah, yeah, I know, Tiger is like so last year...

Philips MCD708 (similar to the MCD702 & MCD703)

No, that's the correct use of 'neither'. See the adverb entry on this page.

Just once, and briefly, and not well set up. We have a dealer here in the area that I need to go up and visit and spend an afternoon at. But based on what I've read, my thoughts are: (in caveman voice) Dusty want.

I do. But I still prefer headphones. Not because I think one or the other is better, it's just headphone-listening is more in line with the way I listen to music than speaker-listening is.

Say what? Alright, yeah, kinda... Pedant. And right after you called me an "omni person", which isn't entirely correct, neither. And then misspelled "semantically". Maybe if I had said, "my speakers don't have an off-axis per se", because as soon as you get off-axis with one set of drivers, you're getting more on-axis with another. Which is lobing. Sort of. I guess my point is, they're a lot less dependent on listener position than traditional "directional" driver-based speakers.

Yeah, but my speakers don't have an "off axis", and that's the way I like it.

I bet they sound bad from off-axis...which is where I usually do all my speaker listening.

And they come in a really nice case.

Only the ones who post a lot. Of crap. We treat the lurkers alright, don't we?

How would I go about getting Sony replacement pads? I've got a MDR-F1 that looks like it's on its last legs.

We are people of actions, not words. Don't ask us to talk about accepting you, just act your age/IQ/shoe-size/sperm-count/whatever, and you will be accepted. Oh, and stirring up trouble == asshat == don't. The devil makes work of idle hands and all that. Touch yourself, instead.

I don't sit still long enough to enjoy speakers.

Letter Putter Upper #1: Give me an X...give me a C...give me an E... Letter Putter Upper #2: What's that spell? Letter Putter Upper #1: Don't make me laugh, I have to go to the bathroom. Letter Putter Upper #2: Well, don't go now, I'm underneath you, holding the ladder up and handing you letters. Letter Putter Upper #1: I know! I know! Now...where were we? Oh, yeah, hand me a T... Letter Putter Upper #2: Where's the P? Letter Putter Upper #1: It's going to be running down my leg and onto your head if we don't finish this soon!
