  1. I'm going to have to try yelp to try some local places. Would I just try "Japanese", or is there more to it than that?
  2. That one. That's where I'd put it. Would also render the switches moot if you put it after them. I wasn't lecturing safety, the thread title requested surge protection, I was obliging.
  3. It would look more high-end if you wrapped it in an actual garden hose, filled with pop rocks and coke.
  4. You know, I admire the man greatly, but I smell bullshit. It's not like there's a crossover there. Is this the same physics that talks about skin effect in audio frequency electrical transmissions? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd really like to be wrong this time.
  5. First three volumes of the Complete Piano Music of Prokofiev by Boris Berman
  6. + a surge protector in front of it all, since the switch you posted doesn't do surge protection.
  7. Right, but that doesn't do the part about putting a switch on every outlet. Oh, this is cute:

    "Even at my gayest...I'd still hit it." That's a keeper. That's Darkchylde on the right, right? I wonder where the original is from...
  9. I don't think so, your best bet would be to get a squid (non-surge protecting variety), and a bunch of individual surge protectors with minimal outlets, so that you're not tempted to use them. Or make something yourself. I mean, I'm sure they exist on the high end, but I don't think even Monster's high end has that.

    MILF.
  11. Yeah, I found I had less control with the WYSIWYG editor, so I went back to the text editor.

    He didn't use them, I had to go back and fix them, so yes bad. In fact, he deserves a good trout to the head for that one, 'cause I haven't seen it yet. Fucker.
  13. Maybe they're fire elementals. (cf. Berserk, book #24)

    Someone has (had?) that as their avatar on another forum.
  15. Dusty Chalk replied to Edwood's topic in Games
    You know, I'm not much of a gamer, but one of the few video games I've ever played is "Cybersled" in the mall. Death Tank looks kind of like that, especially with the lobbing of the shells like that, using hills to get the trajectory just right. XBox 360, huh?
  16. That's what that little lever on my chair is for. That'll take care of the neck pain, but not the eye strain. Yeah, I don't think I'd have that top row for anything but webcams (I'm thinking of getting one for my kitty, so I can watch her while I'm at work).
  17. I've kept mine in my front pocket for security reasons ever since I talked to that cop -- he said that's what he did, to thwart pickpockets. Which was like 2 decades ago. PS They don't fare much better, in terms of wear. I buy cheap-ish wallets, so the first place they deteriorate is they "shrink" (wrinkle at the corners, etc.).
  18. Yeah! [will-smith-in-Bad-Boys-II]Now that's what I'm talking about.[/will-smith-in-Bad-Boys-II] I suspect this will be the case with me as well. Pfff. PS I've gone back and forth on the home cinema thing, and that will be a separate system, probably even a separate computer. And will probably be a 50" Samsung plasma. The thing about vertical resolution is text -- Greg's setup is actually the sort of thing I'm going for eventually, but I tend to have the terminal windows and the IDE eidtor window(s) usually much bigger -- when I'm doing rapid prototype type work, I tend to get somewhat sloppy, and not everything is compartmentalized in separate files, so I like being able to increase the vertical row-count of a particular window to max screen size and hop back and forth between two or more areas with just eye movement. And I can't just rotate the screen 90 degrees, because the font-rendering is optimized for LCD layouts, where the anti-aliasing takes advantage of the way it is this way. But yeah, I've decided that 1200 isn't really that much worse than 1600, so I'm definitely going incremental. Also, it lets me buy them piecemeal, rather than all at once.

    It's like watching the little imaginary cartoon devil and angel on nummy's shoulders.
  20. Jesus, you must have auto-deposit. In by 6, gone by 8, and only because you didn't set your alarm earlier.
  21. salmon zucchini panang from Pilin Thai om nom nom nom nom nom nom...
  22. Probably paralleling to try to attain a certain value, is all.
