Memory.

It's not a hard drive. It may be non-volatile, but that doesn't make it a hard drive, or even a hard drive platter. The difference isn't just non-volatility, it also matters how much you can store on it. I mean, we were talking Terabytes when the subject came up for inspection.

Well...he did say it was a pet peeve...and in his defense, it is wrong. My mom would always say, "could you make me a copy", instead of, "could you make me a printout" or "could you make me a hardcopy". It's kind of wrong like that. Oh, and @ "...follow the thread...". This is head-case, y'know.

Alas. (We need an alas smiley -- like a smiley with the back of his hand to his forehead.)

I haven't heard an Opera Analog, so can't say for certain, but yeah, the amp would probably be the best way to upgrade. What cables are you using?

I like your thinking. And I can do that. EDIT: I should also bring some trash can lids and some metal folding chairs and some drills and hammers and nail guns and a compressed air gun.

He makes "fuck yeah" movies, so yeah, totally, unabashedly, unashamedly, fanboy.

No, it's the one where Buffy and Angel lock themselves in a hotel room for a weekend and play Scrabble for 72 hours straight.

Yuppers.

This is the best way to watch it. Some of the crossovers consist of a character leaving the show at the end of Buffy, appearing on Angel, and then disappearing, in time to reappear on Buffy by the next episode. You have to watch carefully, though. The one towards the beginning of Buffy s06/Angel s03 when he finds out she's been resurrected is particularly clever. My favorite is "Fool for Love" (Buffy)/"Darla" (Angel).

No, I remember your post, but at that point, I was still under the impression that it was never coming out, so I just assumed that it was Amazon packaging the 5 boxsets together, not an actual, legitimate boxset. I missed the word "boxset", I think, as I don't remember you phrasing it that way.

I've been meaning to visit there...

I love that commercial. Total Michael Bay fanboy here.

Aye. When the L did that Angel boxset come out? I've been pissed off that it didn't appear to be coming out ever, and then it gets put out like months ago (10/07, according to Amazon)? Why didn't anybody tell me? And here I am with a $25 Visa giftcard burning a hole in my pocket. Thanks for the heads up on it being on sale, Stephen!

A case of honey (no, I'm not making mead -- I just use a lot of honey, and it looks like Bloom stopped carrying mine).

Are you talking new? And I presume you mean audiocubes street?

It's a reference to this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8wisKhDrjoQ ...and of course, I got the quote wrong, it's, "I want to play a game", not "do you want to play a game?"

Hard drives are like long-term memory.

We just had a chop't open by us, and it's quite good. Vicki -- you'd be in heaven. About half the menu is just vegetables. I'm going to have to go back there and try a whole bunch of different things -- I am just finishing up a Monterey Salad Samich with the Tex-Mes Ranch dressing. The lettuce is nice 'n' crispy. The olives looked good, too, but I didn't see them in time to order them. I'm going to have to see if I can order a fake Olive Garden salad (Iceberg and Romaine lettuces, olives, cherry tomatos...I forget what else -- I usually have them skip the pickled peppers and croutons, if I remember -- and a vinaigrette dressing).

Yeah, me too! (First time I saw the list, myself; I was looking for a more comprehensive list.)

So out of that list, the only one you hadn't heard was Y: The Last Man? I'm actually not terribly up on comics, so I don't know offhand which of those it rules out.

You should set up a wiki server on your internal LAN instead.

Sounds like an oxymoron -- how can it be hell if I'm laughing my ass off?
