I mostly find yes overdone and boring. I cannot stand most rush. WAY wankfest.

Tomorrow? Jeez, you canadians do things backwards. They've been playing down here since early september.

I'm glad you like those 580s with the apogee. That was the combination that held me until I got my balanced m3...

And the cable fixed it. Woo.

ipod + um2s.

That's always how contractors are treated. If they don't treat you like crap, they have to pay you benefits. I still wouldn't be an employee most places.

If there isn't someone who doesn't get the music a band is doing, they're probably not trying hard enough...

So don't bother with DSO. Find something new, not a weird take on a nostalgia band.

SAS being generally regarded as the best place to work, bar none.

It may be boring, but at least there's a lot of it? For me, I'd never go to a DSO show. Why? Because I saw the real thing. I don't need to have them recreate a show. If I was at the original, I was there. If I wasn't, I wasn't. If I want to hear one of the old shows, I have access to almost all the material.

Well. The cell was designed with the PS3 in mind. IBM was looking for a way to subsidize their supercomputing efforts with mass market, to bring economies of scale into play. The previous generation of the bluegene was using the powerpc, which was another leverage chip, but one IBM had to give money to motorola when they used.

He likes post hiatus phish too...jack just wants to be a burnout, so pretends

BG makes bigger numbers, but ascii purple is MUCH faster for most uses. (Yes, this is what I do for a living).

That's where I am. 2 new cables should be here in the next couple days.

Yes, that's what I sent it to them for. Talked to them on the phone several times. Told them coax and usb worked, optical didn't. That I was using it with an AEX and macbook and sony optical out on my dat, and that none worked. They said they tried a number of things, and couldn't get it to fail...

I'd hope apogee woulda caught the snot when they were checking it out.

I don't know, but apogee tested it for 2 weeks and found nothing. So I'm hoping new cables fix it. I'd think then it wouldn't work on the receiver.

You're missing something. I've used the optical out on the aex (and macbook) with the apogee. Then it stopped working after I took the apogee to a meet. But the optical out on both still works with the dac in my luxman integrated amp, so it's the apogee that's being picky.

If real money is involved, hire people for each job, instead of trying to get one person who's good at 3 different jobs.

Universities have a supply of young smart people willing to work for little money. There shouldn't be a problem finding the right combination of skills.

Not really, but someone who knows how to do all those things isn't going to be good at all of them.

There is an awful lot of music that people love that I don't really like, but it's mostly because of overexposure rather than "not getting it". I absolutely can not stand most of the beatles and bob dylan catalogs. I'm mostly bored by Dark Side of the Moon. Most prog rock doesn't speak to me, because I don't get feeling in the math. They do the math problems on their instruments really well, and I appreciate the talent. I just don't find it appealling. Then there's the modern prog, which is accompanied by the blue guy from sesame street singing about cookies. Most of the artists I find myself really liking are deeply flawed in some way. No one is ever going to say the Flaming Lips are masterful musicians, but they're a band that communicates emotion to me in a way few others ever have. They manage to write a silly song, perform it off key, and somehow manage to show how life can REALLY suck, but that it's still fun, and you have to appreciate both. Phish and the Grateful Dead were both a time and place thing. I saw each of them way too many times, and had a few experiences I wouldn't trade for the world. Sometimes Jerry would sing songs that would just rip your heart out. Right before Brent died, you could hear in his voice how the weight of the world was bringing him down. There are a few phish songs that communicate pretty well what it's like to be a rich white kid being exposed to evil for the first time. But mostly these bands were about the experience, and I made great friends and got to experience a lot of great things as a result of my time driving around the country in a 69 vw bus selling soda and going to concerts. I wouldn't expect anyone to fall in love with either band based on a recording, be it a live recording or an album. Because you can't fit what was right about those shows entirely in a recording. The recordings can help you relive the memories, but they just don't contain all the data otherwise.

I'm a college dropout. I find that's a benefit these days. I don't really want to work someplace that values college over experience anyway.

That would be a problem. I ahve no problems streaming alac to my airport express. No matter what i'm doing on my network.
