Finally watched the first trailer -- this is going to rock. Tim Curry?!?!? From the makers of Hogfather? Was that any good?

Birthday gift for my housemate.

I don't think he needs luck with a breadbox.

First of all, thanks. I'm cutting and pasting it, will read it later. So...where'd it come from, did you write all that? Oh, and hey, it looks like it got cut off at the end.

Kershaws are supposed to be nice. IIRC, the guy at the surplus store in Tysons Corner said they were well nigh indestructible.

You do know they're not made with genuine girl scouts, right?

Me three.

Time to renew my rapidshare account.

Oh, so you've read it already. Plenty for postjack to choose from, then.

I've read one thing by Poppy Z. Brite -- Exquisite Corpse. I promised myself never to read anything by her ever again.

Blatantly what? (Not arguing, I seriously don't know which of several directions you were going with this comment.)

Bawls jokes never get old.

Thanks for the info. I'll do some research. Is it VBR? Because I'm not sure that a full-frequency response is necessarily the only goal -- for example, I'm big on group delay distortion (or rather, big on keeping it to a minimum). One of the reasons I like SACD so much, I think. And sorry for being a pig about it. It's just that, when I hear that there's better out there, my first reaction is that I want to hear it for myself. Monsieur Samich -- yeah, wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the higher-end companies have superior pay encoders.

So it was mentioned that LAME sucks balls, what else is out there, that I should try? I'm not agreeing that LAME sucks balls, until I hear something audibly superior myself. That I can use.

Meh, I guess it's funny...if you're 12...

This is the reason on at least my Manley Stingray. It's a dual monoblock design.

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.)
