FTFY.

This week's deal: Cavalry 1TB external, eSata, $175

I think my housemate would disagree. I have over one washerload of black Gold Toe Hamiltons (my everyday business casual socks). Think about that -- I have more than I could ever squeeze into the washer at one time. And no, that's not what I got this time. I got some Gold Toe fuzzies.

The place where you plug-in LAME in EAC should be configurable to take anything, as long as there's a way to do it with a command line.

Okay, thanks, that solves it then.

Hey, a game that I can actually play without being killed in the first 5 seconds Let me know if you find any easter eggs.

Another Mac question -- I fully intend to get a Mac Mini in the future. Should I pounce on the current Macheist deal (ends at midnight), Parallels for $49? Or should I just wait until I actually have said Mac Mini, and take the beating on the higher price? Or is there a version of VMWare player or something that I can use in its stead?

I mildly prefer the Rykodiscs -- since he had a big hand in their remastering, himself -- I greatly prefer the bonus tracks. Plus, you know, Gold. 'Shiny'. Sound + Vision is another great box set to get; unfortunately there are multiple versions, only one with which I'm familiar. There are enough great tracks on there to get one started, and enough bonus tracks and alternate version to warrant keeping it after you start collecting the albums.

Don't waste your time with anything else, just go straight to The Box Set.

First of all, I didn't pay list price, by any means -- more like US$39.19 + tax. Secondly (I admit that's still expensive to anyone who isn't a huge fan), I'm a huge fan. I doubt anyone'd want to pay more than US$11.99 for the non-deluxe edition who isn't a huge fan. In fact, I doubt most of you'd have any use for more than the one song (maybe 'Anna', if you'd heard it). ...or then again, maybe not.

What if it was in Ape?

Those are some great pics!

Nice pics, thanks.

Trio, Deluxe Edition A friend of mine asked me, jokingly, "what did they do, add more Da's?" As a matter of fact, that's exactly what they did, amongst other things.

Is there another thread I should be reading? Because I'm not seeing a whole lot of 307A impressions in here.

Two bottles of Nantucket Nectars' Half-&-Half...which makes, what? Whole-&-Whole?

That's going to give me nightmares.

Yeah, but the mono is pretty much guaranteed not to be pitch-corrected, neh?

I wish I understood French: Hancock 300 parody

How long were they warmed up when you heard them? They sound really good once they've "woken up". They may not have been fully charged. When they sound good, they should sound very resolving. IIRC (it's been several years, at this point), yes, congestion was one of the symptoms of not being fully charged. Someone with more and more recent experience should confirm or deny.

What about the hockey players?

Only because the expensiveness of obtaining it is offset by how expensive oil is (or will be). That doesn't make it right. I mean, cannibalism isn't food, but as you run out of food, your fellow passengers seem more and more palatable, right? That doesn't make it right, right? Ever? At the expense of raping the planet, I don't think certain drilling will ever be worthwhile -- we need to start working harder on alternative means of energy, and more efficiently using oil as it is (fuel cell technology, hybrids, etc.).

We're going to run out eventually, anyways -- we might as well start looking for alternatives now. Prices are only going to go up.

I know what they're usually used for, but usually, the image is larger than life -- the particular shot looked like he was just multiplying the number of images people saw of him -- struck me as kind of narcissistic. "Hey, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me!"
