my next machine planning, help and advice wanted!
Well, yes and no. It's so cheap, and it certainly doesn't hurt. I have a really old computer that went at least 10db quieter when I maxed it out on 4G of memory (32-bit operating systems --> don't bother with more than 4G; 12G --> definitely get a 64-bit operating system, otherwise you're not really utilizing your memory). You're definitely thinking of it wrong -- it actually takes more power/memory to light up 30 inches of 1600p (I.E. 2560x1600) than it does 50 inches of 1080p (I.E. 1920x1080). The only thing your card is going to care about is pixels, so 1080p is 1080p, no matter the form factor. If this is a concern, then get one that is capable of at least 2560x1600 -- which is easy by today's technology (most contemporary cards [>US$50] should be able to do this).

HD800? Another rumor?
I think you just excluded yourself faster'n I did.

What did you do today?
Well then I guess the question is what is the backstory in Jude's mind. I guess I'll never know, and I'm okay with that. Still,

What did you do today?
I'm pretty sure I ____ what verb goes there, and no, I didn't notice. Holy shit, how the hell did that happen? I need backstory.

Okay, Billy, now disengage the plugin and speak English.

Well, I'll thank Mike, just because he's here -- thanks Mike! And I'll thank you, just for your being here -- thanks Nate! And anyone else who wants to take credit -- thanks guys!

Another One Bites The Dust: SDS-DOA
No, that was exactly my point, he'd rather not work on that amp, he'd rather design him a new one.

HD800? Another rumor?
Why do you keep using that word? I do not think you know what it means. That sounds more like team dim sum.

Boomana, check out my Glock with silencer
If you parboiled it, you could just get mashed potatoes.

Am I being obtuse? Where are the installation instructions for Linux? What am I supposed to run, updater?

Home Theater Receiver Question
The only other thing I can think of is that you need to set your DVD player (Oppo?) to output audio on its HDMI output -- sometimes that's an option. Toslink or coax will work for DVD, but not DVD-Audio nor SACD nor Blu-Ray, I don't think.

US Musicians want radio royalties
I don't care what the status quo is, it's not an advertisement. And yes, I realize I just sided against Pandora. Fuck me.

US Musicians want radio royalties
What?!?!? No. The music performances are the end product, not the advertisement.

US Musicians want radio royalties
I was talking about morality, not legality. Legality is never cut and dry. So, in answer to your question, being a big fan of Negativland and MACOS and fair use, the "new" artist would be the one receiving the royalties, as they are the one who "wrote" the new song. Of course, if it's as unoriginal and crappy as "Ice Ice Baby", I'd work outside the system and insult and deride the artist until they stopped playing it.

Have you discovered Ephel Duath yet? Painter's Palette. Metal with a lot of variety, some jazz elements.

I think they should get paid for their work, yes. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

The Headcase Stax thread
I was too busy drooling over all the Focal speakers. How is it you noticed, are you really that keen on Stax? I think I just answered my own question.

Kitty Talk
I have no idea. In my mind, it was shred tossings, but it could well be. Great pics, cats, and kitties, everyone! I'm :ian:ing this thread already.
