  1. HEH! Not a professor yet - postdoc fellow - but working towards it. Funnily enough, I'm a physiologist who is working in...... drumroll...... Biomedical Engineering. And FWIW, my work isn't so super secret anymore, because it isn't fucking working
  2. It is always fun asking young cellular or molecular biologists what the physiological relevance of their project is - most don't have a clue. Missing the forest for the trees......
  3. Good Profs can smell bullshit from a mile away. So don't be afraid to say, "I don't know, but I'll look it up as soon as I'm done here"......

    Godspeed Naaman!

    Long way up, short way down. Salute!

    Speaker Porn

    All that awesome, and they are listening to the bloody Black Eyed Peas?
  6. I almost feel dizzy looking at such awesome
  7. I'm glad they showed us how the voice coil and diaphragm was done. Many times in HIM that would be an item that they just have 'show up' ready to go at some point on the production line.
  8. Shit, you seem to have the world's worst luck for leaking water right now....... best of luck!
  9. I had a cheap 15bar thermoblock machine back home that I got fantastic coffee from. If you try to do it 'properly' I can see you would be disappointed, but with a bit of trial and error, and what some elite folk would consider no-nos, you can get good and reliable results.

    That is an attractive watch. My current Seiko is 16yrs old, and could do with a refresh.
  11. Surely something other than a new amp is needed......
  12. Congrats naaman!
  13. Alex is fine. The comment about the name on the faceplate didn't bother me at all. But some of the other builders are definitely...... enthusiastic......
  14. I sooooooooo want to, but simply cannot afford it right now
  15. I can totally understand that. My enthusiasm comes from the improvements over an SDR7-SB fed by a t-amp. Hardly a tough thing to topple of course, and I've never heard any other high end amp or stat phones. Have you seen pabbi post about the Exstata?
  16. Is Coffeegeeks the Head-Fi or the Head-Case of the coffee world? I've read a bit of the info there, and it could go either way......
  17. That's obscene, Kevin. Certainly puts my meager efforts in their place

    slow forum

    I could die happy wearing *any* of those
  19. Bugger, eh?
  20. Was there ever any disclosure of how the volume control is actually achieved? Which parts, etc?
  21. Brilliant. How long until we get some more details?
  22. Had a bit of a look at what the federal budget held in store for science in Canada. Seems that postdoctoral fellowships are now fully taxable, effectively giving me a large pay cut. Fuckers.
  23. 5 or 6 is too high for Audio Technicas with a pot, let alone an IEM with a stepper.
  24. Certainly a good alternative to ribbed condoms.
  25. But what will you do with your wife and daughter? *boom*tish*
