Or you could just pretend there's someone in the room who doesn't know the words...and no sense of melody... ...and a really low voice...

Focal and Dali both have speakers at most major price points that are competitive. Aurum Cantus also interests me. I'd also give the Quad L or L2 series a listen.

Yes they do.

Huzzah, you beat me to it. Let us know how it goes.

If you're worried about security, then I go back to grawk's point about the $30 dongle, or perhaps using encrypted in your internal wireless network, or perhaps you're not the target market for this computer (and by "you", I don't mean "Todd", I mean the generic "person not buying this laptop"). Firewalls 'n' stuff.

QFU

Not really -- they put bluetooth and wireless into it; Ethernet is so last year.

Doritos Sizzlin' Picante (purple packaging FTW) ...and then... Doritos Poppin' Jalapeno

Well...hydrocity appears to trying to hit as many spots as possible, sounds like. You hit it enough times in enough different spots, you'll eventually find those spots. On a different note, if they make them flexible, people will be able to take them anywhere, and in anything.

Hate to say this, but you're just lucky. So far.

Dusty want Mac something.[/bandwagon]

That was the impetus, yes. But I'd rather use $100 shells than $400 shells. Although I'd probably be better off looking for someone else's leftover shells from something. I wonder what that headphone woodier guy does with his leftover shells...maybe I could use one of my Beyer shells...

Okay, so the short answer is, "yes", you do take pictures of food before pranks (and not before pranks...or rather, "before" "not pranks"). Quite a bit, it seems. You should submit some of those pictures back to the restaurants, some of them look quite good. (Not the pepper flakes picture, though. I doubt the restaurant would appreciate that.) It's quite common to call individual pizzas "pies". I think most of the chains do it internally.

[pedant]audible[/pedant] No, I have the A950Ltd. Just curious -- why the A500, because it's the cheapest? I might do that with my PS-1's...

And say it in a loud voice. "I used to drive a tank!"

Apparently, more people are more skeptical of the square-cut round pizza. I've seen it a bunch of times already, get over it.

Nailed!

Not familiar with the ES7's -- can you describe what it is you like about the ES7's?

You're just going to have to trust me on that particular anecdote.

Yeah, but are your molecules in the perfect ratio of esthetically tuned orthogonally and parallel...uh...paralellily...erm...(insert adverb form of parallel here) oriented molecules? I should write ad copy.

It's true. When I was in college, I worked in a china, jewelry, gifts, & collectibles type store. There was some jewelry that we underpriced so bad, that no-one would buy it except for other jewelry merchants (they knew what it was they were buying, everyone else was like, "I wonder what's wrong with it?"). Once we raised the prices, they started selling.

Post your jokes here.

Mediggy. So I hear: a guitarist, a drummer, and...how many of you were there? The drums, in particular, sound well-recorded. Sounds almost acid jazz -- have you heard...argh, I forget their name...I'll come back when I remember. I think they did an album called "The Real Thing"...they had kind of a technoy sound, but they used a live drummer.
