  1. I thought pigeons only did UDP. (Quite possibly the geekiest joke I've ever written.)
  2. Like a cat toying with a mouse...
  3. Aw contraire, mon frere, I recommended the DarkVoice with the K701's myself just in this here thread:
  4. I can't tell -- it's the one on the second page here (PDF).
  5. Um...(looks at label)...Extra Virgin. PS Probably getting some Colavita tomorrow -- does head-case approve, or should I go for something else? The above olive oil is for my cat, she likes it when I mix it with her chicken, so I just got Wegman's house brand, which came in a nice small size. PPS Last thing I am about to buy is Schubert's 8th & 9th RCA Living Stereo SACD and Porcupine Tree's the incident and something else to make shipping free, as the previous two were $9.485 each on average in my personal picks under gold box (whatever that stuff down on the bottom of that page is called).
  6. The old Nautilus line is supposed to be pretty good. PS If you're not going to pay for diamonds, don't expect diamonds. If you really want diamonds, either stimulate the economy and use money you don't have credit, or save up until you do.
  7. Went looking for the LOTR animated "po-ta-to" gif, found this instead:
  8. Yes, that. No, that M&M stuff, Ms. Innocent. I am well familiar with index cards, I used to make punch cards for fun (which are like index cards for computer nerds).
  9. We are in agreement, then. Gatto -- Jesus Christ, that sounds a little too much like...I have no idea, I'll have to admit to never having heard of anything remotely like that before...
  10. Nope, when it's annoying, it's pretty annoying if you're not one of the drunks, too. (Not to say that I always disapprove of public drunkenness -- if it gets you on Cops, have at. I needs me my entertainment.)
  11. Who do you think told me that?
  12. Oh, I don't believe they are actually boring -- I was just recaptioning the pic, and that in reality you probably just ran out of Dew.
  13. Nope, definitely not worth your time, but then again, you have much more discerning tastes than the average bear.
  14. Au contraire, mon frere -- I don't post when I'm eating an actual sit-down meal. If we had a "what are you digesting" thread, I'd have posted many times this week that I had a Marsala-marinated boneless chicken breast with a little bit of rosemary grilled for ~3 minutes on a George Foreman grill. Man I love chicken.[leeloo]chicken gut[/leeloo] Just now, I had a sesame bagel with McCutcheon's Cherry preserves. McCutcheon's is teh awsum.
  15. You should at least check out the artists, they're not all bad. I say there choice for #1 is pretty brave, but not indicative of the quality of the rest of the list. I mean, c'mon, who here (besides me) doesn't love U2?
  16. Quoted for emphasis -- that was meant to be a question, I.E. what is your budget? Also, what is it you're trying to record? And yes, at this point, there is no reason not to go flash-based. MiniDisc was a good budget entry point at the time, but nowadays, flash memory is cheap, and therefore so are the recorders. There exists a portable DSD recorder -- I intend to have on in my stable before I'm done. I'm guessing (entirely) that this will be one of the better sounding ones. Also, whether or not you intend to record anything beyond stereo is important (there are a couple that can do 4 channels). Also: H4N advertises itself as doing USB 2.0 -- which implies that there are others besides the H2 and original H4 that don't -- just make sure you check.
  17. And here I thought luvdunhill was kidding -- thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.
  18. I'm picturing him molding the heatsinks out of wax -- -- but seriously, I know that's not right: 1 - what would he use for heat sources? He's not going to waste real components on that. 2 - it wouldn't work anyway -- they'd melt starting at the heat sources, rather than at the fins. So seriously -- what is he doing -- does he already have the heatsinks molded, and he's putting a wax film on it to make sure the heat is getting dissipated evenly?
  19. 2 containers of pineapple chunks (probably my second favorite vegetable after bananas) Olive Oil Cat food 1 cold Orange Crush (for the road, y'know) 3 boxes cereal (Weggy brand faux-Mini-Wheats) Shit, I forgot the OJ!
  20. Colin: "R10s are teh boareeng!!!"
  21. I'll second Depeche Mode -- synthpop sounds truly delish on DSD.
  22. Focal -- something in the Electra Be or Utopia lines. AudiogoN ForSale: Focal Jm Lab Micro Utopia Be (w/a sub, obviously) -or- AudiogoN ForSale: Focal Jm Labs Electra 1027Be etc.: AudiogoN Search: focal
  23. How do you test heatsinks on a hunka wax?
