  1. One can maximize one's post quota by using separate windows for replies, and using a one-minute egg-timer type thingy.
  2. It's not the cost of the tube that's important. For example, I much prefer EL84's and 6SN7's to 300B's or EL34's...just my tastes.
  3. This girl came on and claimed you were her husband (?!?!?), and that you were cheating on her (I wouldn't cheat on her -- she sounds like a psycho -- I'd fuck her and dump her), but she kept referring to you as "Alex" instead of "Jahn", and that...
  4. Assuming that this headphone sounds as good as I'm imagining it will, this is where I am.
  5. Favourite quotes from the article: "...a former film student who goes by his real name...when not wielding a blood-spurting electric chain saw..." "Often derided as a showcase of kitsch..." "...after coming in last at Eurovision eight times." "Finns are so uncomfortable with themselves...that when they meet someone for the first time, they stare at their own feet. Then, after 10 years of friendship, they stare at the other person's feet."
  6. link OMG, why am I reading this? It's like 99% drivel! "Hey, who's the guy in the blue shirt?" "Hey, look, a chick!" /closes window

    Best Buy

    Bear with me: so I get this coupon in the mail, and I flip it over, and it says that it's exempt on, amongst other things, Martin Logan equipment. Martin Logan? Since when did Best Buy start selling Martin Logan equipment?!?!? So I do a little searching around, and it appears they're starting a high-end corner in some of their shops, Magnolia Home Theater. No shit! They also sell McIntosh, Sennheiser, REL, and a bunch of other good shit. Oh, and Bose. What's next? Pigs flying? Cows coming home?
  8. You're all the same height from here, if that's any consolation.
  9. Unholy carp, circumaural Grados? Will wonders never cease. I actually see myself getting a pair of these. My biggest criticism of Grados has always been the comfort issue, and 90% of the comfort issue is their supraauralness (if that's a word). I would still want to try them first. Or maybe just the pads. Those bagel pads and my HP-2's...hmmm...even at US$50, might be worth trying.
  10. Lppt -- I hate bleu cheese -- it's just moldy salad dressing that they're trying to pawn off on you. I like the vinagrette that Uno's has -- that's awesome. Paul Newman's is surprisingly good. What is that stuff I have in your fridge, Hirsch, something peppercorn? I like a nice ranch or creamy italian, too.
  11. What are you talking about? Ah don't do shrooms -- you never know when one can cause permanent damage.
  12. What was that supposed to be? It ended up being a link to some ultra-lame "ask a ninja" blog thingy. But I really liked that firework-factory-on-fire vid -- though I think what that guy was saying at the end was, "at this point, this explosion killed the photographer. The only reason we got the video is because he was posting it to the internet in realtime..." Let's see if I can that magnesium storage facility fire...meh, can't find it right now, but if you ever hear the words "magnesium storage facility" and "fire" in the same breath, get in your car and start driving in the opposite direction as fast as you can. If you're walking, just give up -- you're dead. The ground rippled.
  13. (a) Portability; ( convenience; © familiarity; (d) killer interface; ... need I go on? Besides, I think "turd" is overstating things. I doubt you could tell the difference between it and any portable CDP. Note: I don't own one. So don't take this as "defensiveness", I just refuse to agree with that hold "portable == bad" concept.
  14. Cool! That's exactly what I was looking for. I knew Apple wouldn't get all Real on me.
  15. Yes. Why? Because no one setup is perfect at everything, so whatever weaknesses the first rig has, your second rig should excel at. For example, if one rig is the most detailed rig you have, but is mediocre on prat, then your second rig should be the rig with the most prat. And, as others have said, there's no shame in trying to come up with the one most well-rounded rig one can, neither.
  16. It's called "verification". The more statistical evidence one has towards a theory, the better.
  17. You should have seen him give a mammogram Money that mandated laundering
  18. Heh-heh...you gotta love huge knobs...heh-heh...
  19. What was the point of that? You couldn't even see him...just smoke...
  20. Tosser. I'm ordering the dub.
  21. /makes mental note to order shirt I got my "I'll stop wearing black when there's something darker" shirt.
  22. I don't know -- I haven't been done wrong by him yet, but I am seriously concerned over that whole Wonder Woman thing. Also, I'm not sure the Joss Whedon aspect is real. The story is on a site not exactly known for their journalism, y'know?
  23. Aw, man...I want a hover jeep! Just think -- will give 'offroading' a whole new meaning!
