Nope, still got "Sailin' Shoes" stuck in my head. Thanks for tryin', though.

FTFY

I am shpongled.

That was probably said to try to stir up the requisite number of indigenous purchases. In other words, trying to compensate for the price differential. Doesn't mean it's not true, but neither does it mean it is.

With apologies to Knuckledragger... ...or maybe it doesn't know the words.

I wonder what kind of bandwidth they get with that.

No, not really, but for some reason, it keeps coming up in my Gold Box/Quick Picks for Pete.

I hope this is a major failure for them.

You sure it's like this, and not like this or this: (In other words, I'm trying to figure out which wire the cat is over -- before or after the amp?

That is one orange amp (on the round table).

Which one, the Stingray?

I've had the unfortunate experience of having the seller respond with, "we don't have access to the item, but if it's not the one you like, you may return it" &c. -- so at least they're good about it. I was fortunate, however, in the couple of cases that it mattered.

I forgot how much I loved the alternate history presented in the opening credits. I loved the visual reference to:

Blur, The Great Escape

Ich liebt "Dark Cabaret".

I'm sure something like that's been done. There's a magazine that has a custom pc build on the cover of every magazine (Maximum PC? CPU? I forget). They do some pretty outlandish things, like put lava lamps in the liquid cooling portion. (Alright, I haven't actually seen that done, but I still think it has been.) Um...not sure I agree with Monsieur Baguette de la Aardvark. I do agree with his general principle, and to the conclusion, to a certain extent. But if you go so small as to basically bleed the cooling directly to the outside, I do think small is good. To wit: HP Voodoo Firebird something. Factory liquid cooled computers with 1333 FSB == rockin'.

grawk doesn't believe in high-res audio, neither.
