This is really important -- I was listening to a Xiang Sheng amp, and really liked the punchiness of the sound. Figured out later that it was distorting, so indirectly compressing. Of course, once I heard it, decided I didn't like it so much, but I need to learn how to listen for it critically.

Is Nurse Jackie any good? For some reason, that exchange they show in the preview in the theaters is one of the funniest things to me: Woman: (babbling) Jackie: Can I ask you a question? Woman: Yes. Jackie: Shut up.

Hawt pictures. And that also means you don't need to swap out your supertweeter cables every time you listen to a different type of source, right? Double-plus-sweet!

No! You must DIY your own enclosure. Out of spare hangers, sawdust, and duct tape!

Cool. I dug Bad Plus, I'll check these guys out.

I finally got those mics and preamp I ordered from Church Audio months ago, today!

(pointing at the wall) "Hey, look, it's a wall socket." (person who doesn't see the image) "Yeah, so?"

Home, do-yourself detailing kit -- I'm gonna have me a racing stripe!

shaizada -- you don't fool around, do you?

Sounds like you're golden, grampa!

I think they should carefully measure where they go, and install a hidden 3d image as a stereogram.

Doesn't strike me as particularly green -- not just for the blatant electricity consumerism inherent in the design, but also because outlets "breathe" more than solid wall.

Lose.

Maybe I'm being a dunce, but you write that as if the reason for it should be obvious, and I'm not seeing it.

Really? I thought Sony had a thing against it. Never mind. EDIT: Well, at least I'm remembering it correctly -- link -- they (adult film industry) must've found a way around it...which if I had thought about it for two seconds, I probably could have predicted.

Juan had this one, which I liked.

Oh, there's lots of things he could do, but none of them would be the visual equivalent of the BHSE.

So my friend claims that he got grandfathered in at 30 Downloads/$11.99 instead of 24 on the new plan. Anyone else get grandfathered in? As in, long term? Or is it because he only had the basic plan?

Porn doesn't come on Blu-Ray. You'll have to get a nice line doubler for that.

Dude, keep your place in line. It'll be like Rihanna is right there in the room with you (except you'll have to close your eyes, because you won't be able to see her).

I see what you did there.

NewEgg's DailyDeal today is a CoolerMaster computer case. Better/worse value than the one in Todd's invoice? They're also having a 24-hour sale right now which includes other cases, power supplies, and whatnot. Dealsucker also had another case on it for $45, but I hadn't heard of the brand before...but it came with a power supply...oh, heck...it was this one.

Quoted for truth -- weeks, even. And then switch them out. And then listen to the other piece of gear for several days/weeks, and then switch back. You'll find yourself getting (slightly) depressed when switching to the inferior gear, and when that becomes noticeable, then it's time to call it. (This when trying to decide, for example, which of two pieces of gear to keep.)
