She's a great musician, energetic, amazingly cute, and that strawberry blonde that I like so much. I want to hump her leg.

No, you missed the part where he said something bad about the RA-1 (or perhaps in relation to his own amp), and then was told he couldn't because he was a MOT. It was a way of silencing him. That's the part that pissed him off.

You can say goatsex here. You can even say goatfuck. You can even say go fuck yourself. Goatpenis, goatpussy, goatrack, goathanger. It's all good. Welcome back. A word of warning: you can post drunk here, just post pics of what you're drinking. You cannot take shit back. The rest is up to you.

I can only hope that he actually did pay for it. That will be its own punishment. When he compares it to listening to the iPod straight out of the headphone jack, and asks himself, "Why did I actually pay money for this?" maybe he will finally stop providing his Head-Fi.org site as a free shilling site for Ray Samuels Audio. Shill! Shill! Shill! Head-Fi.Org used to be a not-for-profit...

Bands I Useta Like Some really funny stuff in there. Make sure you read Smashing Pumpkins and Stabbing Westward in order. I also particularly liked the Phish one and laughed my ass off at the Stone Temple Pilots one. In fact, I'm getting the giggles right now.

I love 'em. Listen to them practically every day. Well, not lately, since my schedule actually corresponds with my co-workers', but whenever no-one else is around, the headphones come off, and they come on. I actually investigated their industrial division for a project for work, but they never got back to me with prices. I should revisit that. We still don't have a multimedia room.

* One glutton for punishment user And that comes standard, too.

Hey, I just noticed a flyer they threw in my bag -- 10% discount if I bring a friend in, and the friend gets the discount, too. So if you do go, please feel free to contact me to coordinate meeting me there, and we'll both get a 10% discount. I know I'm going to try to swing by there on Saturday, as they're having the sale anyway.

So, I have a new favourite record store -- it's called Strangeland Records. It's near the intersection of Columbia Pike and Little River Turnpike in Northern Virginia. They specialize in all the music I like the most -- industrial, goth, electro, metal and goth -- the dark musics, as it were. And punk (I'm not that into punk, but they are). And they're having a sale starting Friday. I found the new Agalloch, Unexpect, And One, a limited Psyclone 9 and a whole bunch of others I hadn't planned on getting. Don't go in there expecting to find Katie Melua. Unless she's suddenly become a Suicide Girl.

I'm going to throw an iota of information that hopefully will clarify: on linux, there are two things -- the operating system, and the window manager. You remember when you had dos, and you had to start up windows from the command line? And then it got moved to autoexec.bat? It's sort of like that. So they're usually referred to separately, although they're usually distributed together.

Yes, absolutely. Unfortunately, I know very little about it myself, but I will be doing this as well, and it's not hard. There's several boot-from-able CD's and/or DVD's that you can download and burn, if you want to try the different variants non-destructively. They're called live CD's or live DVD's. I have about 6 or 7 different ones. Someone on here...user "devwild", apparently...recommended Ubuntu/Kubuntu for their "live" CD's/DVD's. User "amb" also seems to be an avid linux user. See this thread. There was a link to dualbooting somewhere on microsoft.com, but I don't know if that's what you're looking for in terms of tutorials. You may just want to search on dualboot linux windows. I'm going to be doing it on two separate drives as well, but I'm 99.44% positive it can be done on one drive.

I have a feeling a recabling will help in that area. Not completely fix it to your liking, but at least to the extent that humanflyz describes.

Yeah, I figured that, what movie? I know it's not Billion Dollar Baby.

Doesn't who die? What is this a reference to?

Fun? This is annoying...how do I set a thread on 'ignore'? Moderators who take advantage of their moderating abilities for selfish purposes are no better than...well, you know...

A lock that requires 5 keys?

...but you're not starting your own library.

Excuse me for being blunt but, how much?

Does he smoke?

Beyer DT250? Beyer DT231? (not sure if this is current production or not) Beyer DT660 Koss Pro 4AAT (or is it 4AAAT) and other variants of the 4AA The 880's are semi-open. So are the Sony MDR-7506/-V6. I thought one of the other models (DT990/DT931) was closed, but it appears not...I wonder what I have? ...hey! When did Beyer start making a headphone amp?

I've heard nothing but good things about MB Quart speakers. Also, I've had experience with Pioneer aftermarket speakers which I liked, and a Clarion OEM system in my current vehicle which I avidly adore. I was actually thinking of upgrading it, but after hearing some other systems (a custom Lexus job) at a place that sold and installed Focal speakers, I decided I didn't want them messing up my car. It actually sounds really good for my purposes, and I'd be hard pressed to improve it.

Yeah, really, what's up with that? The X-Ray, too.

He's probably pissed because he got a MOT tag, and isn't managing his business well enough to be turning a profit.

Thanks for that. I'll look at the caps. It's too bad it don't have a "capacitance" reading on my little ol' ratshack multimeter...

According to this page, it contains the following feature: So ... yeah, looks like I'm getting one of these to replace my cheap US$20 ratshack player which I was planning on giving to my mom. (She had my Sony, but I want that back.)
