Post the last thing you bought!
You know, all of a sudden I remember having this conversation with you in person in front of the Borders in Gaithersburg. Nevermind. And yeah, you could, but you'd have to rewrite the operating system (to accomodate the new hardware), so I'd at least wait until it's completely open source.

It can be made to work on Sprint. Or you can buy an unlocked phone from Europe.

a few concerns with my latest aquisition (sp extreme)
You also need to try the "swap channels" trick. Tubes, cables, etc. Wherever you can. If you have the kind of headphone where you can detach the cables, do that, too. One at a time, of course, so if it does switch channels, you know exactly which step caused it to do so (if it is the amp, then the only one which should cause it to switch channels is the headphone cable).

Deals
Dagnabit, it comes with Panther (10.3); Duet requires at least Tiger (10.4.10). So that's an additional $100 right there.

PC Audio Article
No, absolutely not. I find even harsh recordings to be more listenable on the best systems. It could quite possibly be that classic tube distortion -- second order harmonics, is it? -- or it could just be because it doesn't make it worse, but yeah. I listen to comressed distorted digititis-laden crap all the time.

What are you EATING right now?
Well, there's that, too. Me: Kung Po Chicken from Mandarin House in Laurel -- they must have an apprentice at the wok, the chicken isn't as magical as it usually is.

What are you EATING right now?
It's also not necessarily unhealthy if you need protein. I ate red meat all the time when I was bringing my triglycerides down.

What's going on with HeadRoom?
Yeah, I probably could have guessed that they were working on a new flagship line without having any inside information. Bad time for it, though (Christmas shopping season). I hope it's soon.

What is the perfect earbuds case?
"bycurious"? I think you meant "buy-curious". Oh, and my solution? Zip-Loc baggy. Extra strength (I.E. the freezer variety). Keeps the lint out and everything. Yeah, it doesn't make the girls go, "ooh", but you know what? Not exactly something you need to worry about, unless you're Patrick Bateman -perfectionist.

LCD, plasma purchase help
I went and checked out some of the Panasonic Plasmas at MicroCenter briefly today -- and they're not that bad. I'd consider them. Plus, I believe they make a 1080p model which is less than 50"...which is the smallest the Samsung makes. That's a lot of TV -- possibly too much for me. I'm tempted to go 46" or maybe even 42".
