    slow forum

  2. Nina Nastasia - Outlaster Better late than never.
  3. Here's to hoping, Doug!
  4. One day bread will rule us all.
  5. His frustrations with Apple echo mine, I'll be skipping the '4' and not sure I'll bother with the 3GS any more. Yay for him not acting like a rabid fanboy and praising the device despite its flaws. Perhaps my problem is that I actually use my cell phone for, you know, phone calls.
  6. The streaming often downloads much faster than real time so it would seem to me it has a pretty similar network impact. Example, streaming an hour long show I often have the entire show "downloaded" after 20 min or so.
  7. And fingers crossed.
  8. It's Apple's rule, it's through iTunes. I sincerely AT&T has anything to do with that since Apple has dictated the terms of the relationship since day 1. Also, I can stream the same podcast through the web and AT&T doesn't appear to care.
  9. It's like I find a new reason to get more upset with Apple everyday... Can anyone reasonably explain the 20MB download limit via iTunes? What sense does this make? 95% of the podcasts that I listen to are larger than this and I can stream them from any number of sites (which has its own set of negatives) but Apple refuses to let me download them direct from Apple over 3G. I simply don't understand why they care how I use the data like this. Part of me just wants to connect the phone to a streaming app and stream 24/7 for a while in protest.
  10. All of those are just dumb and the best way to express my disappointment is to not click on any of them.
  11. Happy Birthday!
  12. My box of parts arrived yesterday, everything looks good. The balance of the parts should arrive Monday and I expect to get busy building in the very near future. Right now I'm trying to avoid the compulsion to upgrade the output trafos with the eprint units that Doug hinted at.
  13. Stop asking why V, just roll with it Me: mowed, took delivery of the hackintosh, now resting and laughing at how Apple is really missing the boat by simply not licensing Dell to build these things for them.
  14. They departed over a week ago so they should be in country by now. But I haven't heard a peep out of him or seen him online so I suspect that he's stuck dealing will all of the fun* of moving 10,000 miles to a new continent. *by fun I mean no fun. I try to make sure that the main stereo/HT rig stays very straightforward for that exact reason. The Harmony remote lived up to its name.
  15. Jesus Al... Poor Stretch, he doesn't even get to see this Ayre madness.
  16. I have both but the moles would be really hard to shoot. I have, accidentally, clipped a few with the tractor though. Apparently they do not understand the concept of running away from the very loud noise with the whirring blades.
  17. My war is with a woodchuck. I'm pretty sure he's living in my neighbors burn pile so his habitat is an endangered species and I hope he's got a good smoke detector.
  18. Those look nice, similar to context engineering or whomever manufactures those chassis. I was secretly hoping for these:
  19. Which series are you looking at?
  20. Now you're speaking my language. They really do represent the ultimate in unsafe!
  21. Double D's have never held much appeal for me. I've never been afraid of air wiring though so I may go a totally different direction.
  22. I'd at least like to try to motivate the woodchuck to relocate + wife will not allow an actual firearm into the house nor do I want one.
  23. That's it, the switch is red, there's no way I'm building this. I hope to put the big mill to use on this case, assuming it ever shows up...
  24. Obviously it's very different. It caused massive system failure on the usb side of things (or it in conjunction with .net 4 did) that included but wasn't limited to: disabling two USB ports on the notebook, disabling the webcam, disabling wireless, disabling wired networking, disabling several embedded pieces of software and probably other shit that I didn't bother to notice. Uninstalling recboot and .net 4.0 plus 2 hard reboots finally brought the system back up to normal. So no, I'm not going to try that method again on a Win7 machine and it's utter fucking bullshit that I have to jump through hoops like that to undo Apple ruining the functionality of my phone.
