What about fusion? Al Di Meola (specifically Elegant Gypsy, Casino), Jeff Beck (Wired, Blow by Blow, There and Back), Return to Forever (Romantic Warrior)? What about the old melodic stuff like The Birth of the Cool (Miles Davis) and Somethin' Else (Cannonball Adderley)? What about Cookin'/Steamin'/Walkin'/&c.? And yes, I did know that, had forgotten, I think we-all even had this exact same conversation before. (Peter: defends Nate's taste as varietous; someone else: No argument, it's just that he hates jazz; Nate: Yeah, I hate jazz.)

What are you two talking about? Nate has probably the most varied tastes of anyone on this board, and that's coming from a contender.

To me, it's all about real estate. 13" == 1280x800 15" == 1440x900 ~= 27% more real estate, so I would throw that in your oven bag and shake it. Me, personally, I intend to get two -- one of the tiny Sony Vaio Lifestylers with the 1600x768 8" screen, and a huge HP dv8t with the full 1080p 18" screen.

I'm in for a pair, though I remain skeptical it's "L3000 awesome". If it's even 1/6 as awesome, it's still pretty fucking awesome.

No, it's the same.

Ground loops.

Teases.

Detective Mittens (by the same people who did Charlie the Unicorn)

Correct. It's better.

You bought a restaurant?

Clean off your hard drive?/Reinstall the OS? The other thought is, don't run it off the external hard drive, use the internal -- load the files on the internal, then play (swapping out recently used and expected not to use again for a while files). I.E. Dew et, but do the above if you run into snags.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Damn, that's really good. Definitely my cup o' tea.

:rimshot:

I've gotten used to it to the point where I hardly even hear it anymore.

"Daddy, why does the man have a deer on his back?" "Because he probably is helping...well, no, it was probably a hit-and-...son, I have no fucking clue."

You say that like it's a bad thing.

That just means moar DACses.

Aren't all keg-pulls somewhat phallic/dildo-like? I'm pretty sure I've seen that in a video. Girls (And Beer) Gone Wild or something.

kinda NSFW moar here

Just finished sampling Valerie & Friends -- retro synthpop and electro goodness. Starting Morphine, At Your Service -- was listening to this earlier, need to go back to it. If you like sax and other reed instruments (baritone something on there, too), highly recommended. "...You're the bedtime story, The one that keeps the curtains closed, And I hope you're waiting for me, 'cause I can't make it on my own..."

Puscifer, "C" is for (Please Insert Sophomoric Genitalia Reference HERE) -- the first two tracks, in particular -- "Polar Bear" and "The Mission (M is for Milla Mix)" -- rawk. This video is kind of trippy: This one is not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tU-hSpErIw

I've been enjoying Community quite a bit, ackshully.

It's probably just Ray trying to drum up interest in the connector. Or ALO.

Okay, only just finished watching it (didn't have a chance to, Saturday morning) -- jesus christ that was fucking amazing. I love the dialog -- the wearing black mini-speech, "splash of color", "who doesn't love a pun", the whole "you're never alone with a schizophrenic" slant (which would more correctly be stated, "you're never alone with a multiple personality"). And of course the story was great. And .
