Yeah, what Justin said -- my degree is in Physics, not Engineering. So more abstract. So far no blood, although I woke up at 4:30 to one play-attacking the other in my bed. He's one of those "anything under the covers that moves is fair game" types.

Also something Iron-Giant-y about it:

He should at least hear it, so that he can decide for himself.

Integrated my cats.

No.

Sure. But data is usually reflected by the data entry system, and since it's free format, there is a good likelihood that the number of different formats will be greater than or equal to the number of different data enterers.

So you need 4 channels for each -- one for the forward heading electrons and one for the returning electrons, and a pair of those for each of the two balanced channels? I'm having trouble figuring out the fifth dimension. Active ground, perhaps?

Any one but this upcoming one, I think. I usually do a matinee on Saturdays around noon, and "movie night" with the guys on Saturday night at a friend's house, but both of those are negotiable, since I do them every weekend.

Yeah, and that should "take", unless I don't understand something.

For some reason, your edit has given me the giggles.

You learn well. Unfortunately, your mentors are idiots.

I didn't find it so -- meaning "than expected" -- because I always find that they have at least one or two lounge-y tracks (Rhythm Divine, Of Course I'm Lying, etc.). And they often have a sweeping majestic instrumental such as the last track, too. But yeah, that duet -- I think that's the first time they've ever attempted that. I suspect they found something in that singer that they really liked, since they feature her on three tracks. That part is definitely unusual. And she definitely is bringing the lounge.

And it's not Death, it's Skeletor. In a cowl. Or quite possibly a cylon.

Okay, so how do I find out about watch companies' reputations? I'd be interested in seeing how "TX" fair for that one Monkey posted a couple pages back, and on Amazon, there's a bunch of 5 star reviews, but most watches only have one reporter, so that's too low a sampling for my tastes. Any good watch sites that would discuss mainstream-ish brands (I.E. the kind of brands you'd find at Nordstroms)? Also, do you* have any watch winders? I have exactly one automatic (Armitron), and I treat it horribly (let it unwind), I'd like to get a cheap watch winder for it. Knowing how watch winders work, I know that most of them are over-priced. *and by "you", I mean either of you, or anyone else who has automatics -- my automatic was $100, so I'd feel silly spending much for a watch winder.

Okay, so just like anything else, there will be better quartz watches and worse quartz watches, and just like anything else, I should be just as concerned about getting a cheap watch that's overpriced vs. a quality watch.

PX100's for $30 on Gold Box right now.

I love how completely over-the-top that is -- I actually laughed out loud. It's like Gamera, except it's a hockey-stick wielding polar bear.

Why would you want it to be less black? FTFY.

Thank you, I knew it was reminding me of something specific.

Well, it's not just that -- I mean, several of us here on this very board are nutters that would wear just such a watch, and I really doubt she'd run the other way from us. I would even go so far as to suggest that she is drawn towards nutters.

I suspect the design is exactly the same, though they be manufactured elsewhere, and I'm not even sure about that.

Yello, Touch Yello -- Yello may well be a top 20 band for me. Oh, you're in for a treat.

You really think you can judge a book by its cover?
