I take it off to set the time twice a year and that's it. It's a diver's watch, so the one big one in the middle you have to screw down and un-screw up anyway, so even if it was the other way, you'd have a hard time manipulating it. I wear it on my left hand. I don't even know (nor care) what the other two buttons do. (If anyone's curious, I've got the manual right here; I just have no reasons of my own to crack it.) Oh, and now: the next Stripmall Architecture album.

Too. No. I don't think they consider this a lefty watch, a lot of them are like that.

Photoshop is a resource pig; whatever you do, beforehand or after, max out on RAM (I.E. make sure it goes beyond 4Gb, and get a 64-bit operating system). Let me email a friend of mine who basically lives in photoshop, and see if multiple cores help (IIRC, I think not), in which case I'd also recommend getting the fastest CPU you can in there. You may even want to get something that has a SSD.

We still want pics, Mr. T. Sloth!

LOL

I have mixed feelings on the subject, so I'll let the community decide. Pro: I, too, would like to be introduced to random/unheard/whatever music; Con: I have a very large music collection, so the practical side of me says that whoever is buying from me should probably check for duplicates. As a compromise, I offer the following suggestion: Give a list of potential items, let the recipient veto whatever they feel like. It's up to the honor of the recipient not to do too much research if they want to be surprised...or not...(that doesn't need to be a community decision, pairs can do it however they like)... You can give me Genetic, I think I know his tastes well enough... :evil: Also, why don't you give it one more day, and PM people who might be interested, but may not check the board as frequently as last year (such as Luminette).

I think he meant the meet.

Pfff.

Nice!

Me too!

Are you in Europe? That sounds like PAL or SECAM. Over here, it is recommended to go from 60 Hz to 120 Hz or 240 Hz because it's an even multiple of 24 fps, so the maths are easier. Going from 50 Hz to 100 Hz doesn't make the maths any easier (because it's still based on 24 fps), so you lose that. It could still theoretically be good, but you really need to go into a store and see for yourself. Look for a scene where they pan side to side. If you can't tell the difference on the material that they're showing you, then I wouldn't get it. They're probably not showing it to you for a reason ("most people can't tell the difference" being my guess).

Billy posted in the slow forum that the guy runs a high-end car cleanup service, and that it was a stunt. The fact that -- at 2 feet of water -- it was a safe way to get it wet without hurting anything else reinforces this opinion. On the other hand, I'd like to see if there's any rust after a couple years, so if there isn't, then his service might just be worthwhile.

Thanks for all the impressions, guys! Moar of you should go listen to the orthodynamics. That would be Epica. (I kinda doubt it was Neko Case, but Colin can correct me if I'm wrong.)

So mini 4-pin, or dual mini 3-pins? (I.E. single entry or dual entry?)

Yes it is; elephas has "restless tuberoller syndrome".

I wish I could lick my nose like that.

Why would fantastic sound not be for anyone?

Or you could just google for them.

That actually is pretty cool -- especially since it introduced me to the concept of an acoustically transparent screen -- I was told there is no such thing. And: in-wall speakers can sound extremely good if done well. "Infinite baffle" etc.

I am now.

Huzzah. Source? (Yes, I will go off and google the titles of the charts.)

Awesome.

Bugatti Veyron -- I like how the first associated video is "car wash fail". Billy -- yeah, my spidey sense just went up about 10 pts. (on "stunt") based on that.
