What did you do today?
Hooray! EDIT: That looks bad, after stretch's post -- it was directed at Nebby. Ditters!

If someone can get QEMU running on a jailbroken iPad, can you run any damn thing you want? It's already got some ARM support.

Preamp with at least 1 balanced in, 1 balanced out, and one balanced loop/tape out?
Conrad-Johnson?

Yet more TV advice sought
At 9 feet it won't be a problem, but when it moves to a different function, you might want that extra resolution. I know I would. And x3 on the calibration issue.

My point exactly. It's because it's black.

Black 404 > non-black 404

Is that good or bad? I've liked the Sharp Aquos that I've seen, but admittedly, that was a couple (2-ish) years ago at this point.

Audio Technica headphone question -- closest to leatherhead?
Doesn't sound corny to me, is all I'm sayin'.

Russian Diver, looks like I don't think I have an 8.5" wrist, but like I said, I'm certainly used to at this point wearing a 47mm watch.

Apple Tablet
@laxx -- I thought the Nook was color? I probably won't. I have paid for exactly one book so far, but have to admit to feeling ripped off without a physical analog -- it should easily be cheaper than any other format of the same book, since there's no physical media, no shipping, no handling, and no damaged returns.

Watches
What big orange watch? I remember you posting when you got it (now that you've brought it up again), but forgot about it when I saw the new big orange Invicta Reserve Subaqua Venom (quartz, unfortunately) recently. It was reminding me of something, but couldn't remember what, now I remember.

No it's not -- why is it stupid if it means "grand", Mr. Panties-in-a-knot?

FOTM: 5-pin Headphone Jack
Alright, so the two hots go to L/R +; ground gets split and sent to L/R - of the drivers. Right so far? On the amp side of the same sitch, where does L/R - go? Unterminated? Loaded? Switched-in-loads? Switch out those half of the amps (so that they don't present some weird load, and yet are green and don't consume power at the same time)? The case I am discussing is the unreterminated single-ended headphones discussed earlier.

FOTM: 5-pin Headphone Jack
No, I don't think he means that, since he's talking about a 5-pin jack -- he'd have to do that anyway.

video card upgrade for PC with 365W PS
Sucks, but you should still be able to steal most everything from the mass market codger. That was effectively the second half of my first paragraph in my previous post.

He was just cross-posting it for those of us who didn't read that. Yeah, that's the ticket.

FOTM: 5-pin Headphone Jack
You mean, three-connector, right? Because all dynamic headphones are two single-ended drivers. It's just a matter of how easy it is to access that point where the 3 wires become 4, right? I agree with "provide a separate jack" for those.

video card upgrade for PC with 365W PS
I would just assume it doesn't, and budget in a new power supply with the card. That's probably one of the easiest things in the computer to replace. Well, unless it doesn't fit in the case, in which case you'll need a new case, too, and then it becomes one of the hardest, only because you then have to move friggin' everying to the other case. Recommendation: go modular on the power supply. Me, personally, am going to go with the new Radeons.

I have to admit, I was thinking Aye-talian, also, but that's because I'm a musician. I do not think Al is a dumbass, but I have to admit to not knowing if he was serious or not.

FOTM: 5-pin Headphone Jack
Yeah, what are you doing with the 5 connections? I understand 4 of them: +/- L/R, but the 5th one eludes me. I'm with grawk -- 4-pin, a la AKG K1000.
